THE COFFEE PLANT.
4 Native ot Abyssinia That Was
Transported to Arabia.
The origin of coffee is lost in the
mists of antiquity, but the plant is be
I Lieved to be a native of Abyssinia and
to have been carried thence into Arabia
early in the fifteenth century, whence
the Meccan pilgrims soon carried it to
all parts of the Mohammedan world.
A bureau of commerce and labor pub
lication notes that Burton in his "Anat
omy of Melancholy" (1021) makes this
reference to it: "Turks have a drink
called coffee, so named from a berry
black as soot and as bitter, which they
sip up hot, because they find by experi
ence that that kind of dr(pk so used
helpeth digestion and promoteth alac
rity.”
Although brought to Venice by a phy
sician in 1591, it was only in 1052 that
the first coffeehouse was established
In London, and it only became fashion
able in Paris in 1069, says the same
authority. England gradually forsook
coffee for tea, but the progress of the
beverage, though slower, was steadier
In France.
Until 1690, when the Dutch began to
successfully grow coffee trees in Java
from the Malibar (India) bean, all cof
fee came from Arabia. The coffee cul
ture of the West Indies and Central
and South America had its beginnings,
it is said, in a slip taken from a tree in
the botanic gardens at Paris, which
had obtained a vigorous growth from a
cutting said to have been stolen from
the botanic gardens at Amsterdam. All
the plantations of the old and new
world are practically derived from the
specimens taken from Arabia, first to
India, thence to Java and elsewhere.
ANTIQUE SEVRES.
Von Cob Always Diatlnsrulali the Gel*
nine by Ita Gilding.
False Sevres In the bric-a-brac shops
Is offered as genuine by “reputable
dealers” In London and Paris as well
as in New York. It is old, it is true,
but only as old as the “restoration” in
France, although the marks would indi
cate a much earlier and better period.
The counterfeits may usually be de
tected by the surface of the gilding.
In the real it was burnished In lines
by means of metal nails with rounded
points, which were set In a piece of
wood.
The Imitations of later date than the
real have been burnished in a similar
manner, but with an agate. It re
quired considerably more force to ob
tain a bright surface by the ancient
method than by the use of the agate
point; hence the burnished lines in the
genuine ware are perceptibly sunken,
while in the counterfeit ware they are
flush with the general surface of the
gilding. There are other means of
“spotting” the Imitations, such as the
Inexact copying of the marks which
have served since 1753 to denote the
date of fabrication, and the use of
chrome green, which was not discov
ered until 1802, but the test of the
burnished parts of the gilding is the
easiest for the ordinary buyer.—New
York Herald.
The Cellar* ot Bordeaux.
The cobwebs will seem to an Impres
sionable visitor the noblest things in
the Bordeaux oellars. Some of them
look like thick pile curtains, somber in
hue, of course, but famously suggestive
of warmth. And with even only a
moderate Imagination one may go to
and fro among the barrels fancying the
pendent shapes overhead are dusky
stalactites Instead of the airy next to
nothing as they really are. If you hold
your candle high enough you may
shrivel a few yards of the fabric. But
that were truly a shocking deed of
vandalism, for, though no layman can
understand why this dismal tapestry
is reverenced as it is, bis ignorance will
not be held sufficient excuse for his
crime,—Chambers’ Journal.
Queer Little Blunders.
From an account of the Doncaster
(England) Art club’s annual exhibition
In the Doncaster Gazette: "Miss -
also goes In for portraiture. In hitting
off her father’s head her intentions are
good, but the execution lacks very much
in artistic finish.”
In the London Mail’s description of a
parade In honor of the king of the Hel
lenes the reporter said: "The soldiers,
clad only In their scarlet tunics, pre
sented an unpleasant contrast with the
warmly clad members of the police
force.”
From the windows of a British tailor:
“We have cleared a Scotch merchant’s
remains of high class overcoatings at a
big reduction.”
Not a Born Forger.
The Indorsement of checks is a very
simple thing, but, as the following story
will show, it, too, has its difficulties:
A woman went into a bank where
she had several times presented checks
drawn to Mrs. Lucy B. Smith. This
time the check was made to the order
of Mrs. M. J. Smith—M. J. were her
husband’s initials. She explained this
to the paying teller and asked what she
should do.
“Oh, that Is all right,” he said. "Just
Indorse it as it Is written there.”
She took the check and, after much
hesitation, said, “I don’t think I can
make an M like that."

Animal hair differs in construction
from that grown on a human head. In
human hair the upper skin Is smooth
and thin. The circular section is com
paratively broad, forming the main
part of the hair shaft. It is striped in
appearance and carries the color mat
ter. The tubular part is thin, extend

more than to one-quarter of the entire
width of the hair. Animal hair also
consists of three parts, but these are
