According to him. the Mufti Dhabant was the first to Intro- duce the in ant little bean on Arabian soll, having brought it with him from Africa. Certain it is, that the districts of Shoa, Euara, and Kaifa, (whence the name). in the south ef the Abyssinian highlands, form the home of the coffee plant.

While the great @nathema was being pronounced at Mecca, the brothers of the order at Cairo, the very Mamelukes themse! were already Feveling In the newly discovered luxury. A coniirmation of the Mecca decree was, there- hot to be expected from the Sultan,and he, | Kanfu giguri, quashed the ordinances of his | governcr and sent the latter into exile. Then Many holy sheiks—for example, the celebrated | Mohammed Harife, founder of one of the four orthodox schools of Islam, took the side of the eoffee drinkers. Thus was the precious bean | fally rehabilitated in western Arabia at least. | Soon thereafter a whole literature spran; on the drink; poems of praise and derision without namber were manufactured, which by means of the trade caravans were ‘circulated throuzh the whole of the Mohamme world. | With the broadside the bean itself naturally found its way everywhere, it to Aleppo | and Damaseus. It ‘took fully a century | for coffee to make Its way from Yemen to Aleppo. In Stamboul, more than 100 years . after the Conquest, the beverage was un- | known. In the reign of Selim Il. (156 ), Who | was a notorious drunkard, and even in history | Dears this fine nickname (Turkish mest), wine | Was not forbidden, and so coffee did not find its way into the Osman kingdom till the beginning of the reign of Murad III. The first specimens | Were brought by the pilgrims from Mecca in the | form of branches of the tree or shrub, as,indeed, the Hadjis are wont to do on their return even atthe present day. The Aleppinese were the first to open coffee houses in Stamboul, where- fore they reaeived the name which they still always bear, ‘“Kaveh-Caneh.” Here again, it was emedl pious of the pious, the cream of the Ulema and other special favorites of God, ‘Who !mmediately publicly decreed the divine Specoval of the use of the beverage, and gave high-sounding name of*Schools of Wisdom” to the littie booths where people = in dleness, talked politics, and played backgam- esis Northfleld College, ‘ing a great deal of fun in ys Minnesota, hay changing @ that of an undertaker, when | enable at ‘Technical mcation. The question of most importance to all the an odor | trades at present fs that of technical education, @round Its name as Mocha, which forso many | and it ts being discussed by the many trade journals now flourishing. In the current num- ber of the Decorator and Furnisher 1s an article on the subject, in which the following views are presented: When the modern trades unions, socleties and associations of every description, entirely shut off the old fashioned system of apprentices, and when the hnrry and bustle of modern life de- nuded achievements of the child, that, but yesterday were thought worthy work for the man, it was high time that some means should be sought by which the older training could be re- | placed; hence, “Technical Schools.” Conseqnent- | ly we now see machine schools, filed up with all the latest appliances of cunningly dev in which the pupil may be tanglit the capabilities of the oh @ year or two serving | ully instructed, scientific and anic, without, perhaps, having s adjustable cufls or spotted his immaculate shirt bosom. In olden days tiese accomplishments were learned by an apprentice, who becan at the shop floor, and gradually worked up from the seience of sweeping (not an to master, elther), through the various sweat Of brow and years of labor, which belongs to manful exer- To be sure, this shop “edu- turned out some men that belonged to the same class AS THE INVENTOR, who couldn't draw a design or make a model of his invention, but who went off quietly and cut it out of a section of an apple with his penknife: they may not have known the exact relation of a tangent to acurve, or a radius to a diameter, but they did know their business, practically, from bottom to top, and if they did not happen to have a technical knowledge of drawing, they could almost always make a design that would ther mechanic of the same school to put the work into shape. And in the fine arts, who ever, in our days, expects a would-be Raphael or to enter the studio of some already well known capable artist, and by washing the brushes and palette, and patiently watching the methods of the full grown man to gradually learn the art of sub- Jecting the natural and undisciplined ideas to | the practical processes of interpretation. The modern way to fame would be through a few years tuition. at the hands of some technical educator, in the “Principles of Ornament,” the ‘Theories of Color” and a few other such works | by authors whose lives were probably spent in deiending some pet theory, until they became perfectly blind to the beauties or possibilities of any system but thelr own. Let it be acknowledged at once that the old methods of art and mechanical education are now practically obsolete; yet the question may fairly be asked whether the new methods are entirely sound and wise. Is there not a tendency, and a growing one, on the part of every teacher to ignore the versa- tility of genius and of art, and to adopt and search some particular school of theory until the unfortunate pupil isin danger of being graduated into a cast iron aggrevation of me- chanical, geometrical or ornamental theorems, whose path through the world will be worked by either the friction or selentifie ronghness, or the isolation of scien lish, rather than by the ease of the nd receptive disposition of one who sees some good in things. It depends upon the methods of technical schools, methods which must be tully devel- oped within a verv short time, whether we shall be surrounded by N WOMEN, who are either like stone, entirely unable to assimilate the advantages and beauties of mov- ing life around them, or like the sponge, with ever one more space ready for the absorption of the experiences and the common sense with nee they will come In contact—which shall it be? Candidly appealing to the good judgment of all who may read this, we would ask: Is there not a growing danger that the pupils of our modern technical schools will fall into the con- dition so graphically described by Rabelats: “Can there be any greater dotage in the world than for one to guide and direct the courses by the sound of a | nd not by his own Judg- ment and discretion: Would it not be an excellent !dea to organize @ national association of technical educators, composed of equal numbers of teachers and manufacturers, so that the theoretical could be tempered, at least, by the practical. and thus avoid the danger that technical education s! become a mere quicksand of theory, in which shall disappear all practical results of the sy tem. This Is not a pessimists opinion of technical Schools ; It 1s not an opinion at all; nelther Is it 4 protest against the present system; but it is only a faint expression of reeling which we be- Heve to be very amon, and which will, we fear, be very loudly and disazreeably expressed, unless some radical changes are introduced into the possible tendencies of the present system. A Tricyclist’s Dress, Dr. Richardson in Good Words, In practicing on the tricycle and in making Journeys upon it attention should be paid to the dress. The dress should ft neatly to the body without being in any point cumbrous. Loose Maps of dress and tails of coats are yery trouble- some, and even dangerous. The jacket should fit nicely to the body, and the tronsers,sufliciently free and loose, snould not be pursy about the legs and feet. Trousers answer very weil, but knickerbockers and well-fitting stockings are an improvement on them. Shoes are better than pots, unless the boots fit uncommonly welland e far down toward the toe. Spring-side boots e bad; they prevent the easy movement of the ankle, which 1s so very essential for free pedal- play. The shoes should have good firm soles, bur they need not be unusually heavy. The soles should be free of naiis and of steel plates, and it is worth the trouble to have them sharply rough- ened, so as to grasp the pedals firmly. The neck should be left as free as possible; a loose, light silk handkerchief is far better than a collar and stiff tie. Every convenienee should be given for easy and rapid motion of the head in looking round, and the circulation throngh the ves: the neck should be quite unimpeded. The head— dress should be light and yet firmly fitting on the head. A straw hat, In my opinion, answers, on the whole, the best. The dress of thé tryeye- list should, on no account, be heavy Thick flannel underclothing is an extire mistake; it prevents free transpiration from the skin, and cansesthe body to become wet through from perspiration. which during the process of tri- cycling ts always thrown off very freely. The substance of the clothing should be porons as well as light, and the color gray. It is well to carry an extrasuit of clothing in a waterproof case attached to the tricycle, and it is alwaysim- perative to change the dress after every journey it the garments are made damp, either from rain or from perspiration. I do not strongly recommend waterproof coats tor wear during tricycling. These coats keep out rain, truly, but then they keep In the water which is transpiring from the sk! quite as serious as that which occurs from rain. Itisali very wellto have a loose ventilated waterproof cape to wear during a shower with the body at rest, but it is not wise to wvork hard under the waterproof covering: it is better to push on unencumbered by anothins of the sort, and, having arrived at the place of shelter, to change the clothes instantly and get into a dry suit. ——__—_-o-________ One Hundred and Fifty Miles in Three Hours, Including Stops. From the Syracuse Courier. ‘Whew, how she did fly along,” said a dust- covered passenger, as he alighted at the Cen- tral depot at 8:55 o'clock yesterday afternoon, from the limited express. west-bound. never rode so fast in my life; where's the con- duetor, I want to shake bands with him, I had an engagement in this city at 4 o'clock, and thought when we left Albany about forty minutes late that I would not see Syracuse until about 5 o'clock. Here we are, though, safe and sound, and not yet 4 o'clock.” Just then Conductor Hughes came along, and with smiling countenance stated that the run be- tween Albany and this elty, a distance of 150 miles, had been made in 180 minutes, including stops. He continued, “We left Albany at 12:56, just thirty-six minutes behind time. Ed. Kennard was at the throttle and engine 201 just darted over the road as she never did before. As the train rolled into Syracyse my watch in- dicated Just o'clock, only five minutes be- hind regular schedule time, ing gained thirty-one minutes since we left Albany. — It’s a run and I feel proud of it. “All aboard,” cried the conductor who recelyed Mr. Hughes, and the train was soon lost sight of. Conductor Hughes continued, as the train started off, “I [irae she'll make up the other- five minutes before she reaches Rochester.” The run in question has sekiom been and was the topic of conversation among rail- road men that evening. ———“s¢¢—___ Louisa Rossing sold clgars, candy and whisk: ina small store at Fort Dodge, lowa. ‘When came Ser f | adjoining states, parts of which were weighed. AR From the Philadelphia Telegraph (ind. rep.) Among the letters and papers on Chairman Hensel’s desk was a torn envelope which at- tracted no little attention. A broad smile illumined Mr. Hensel’s face whenever he looked at it. It was an ordinary white envelope, soiled andrumpled. In theupperright hand corner was apictureof the Lochiei House in Harrisburg, and below it the words, “M. S. Quay, Personal.” The envelope had been folded into quarters, and in one of the quarters were tour words written in pencil, in a large, scrawling hand: “Dear Beaver, don't talk.” The well-known bol ead of the ex-secretary of the commonwealth was appended to the message. The story of the sies= sage is interesting, and tle smites played about ita Hensel’s mouth as he told it to in- quiring visitors. Shortly after the republican state convention a reporter called on Col. Quay at the Lochiel house, in Harrisburg, and en- deavored to interview him on the situation. Col. Quay declined to talk, and the reporter then picked up his hat, saying, ashe backed out of the room: “If you won't talk, colonel, I guess Beaver will. I’m going to see him now.’ “Hold on a moment, young man,” said the col- onel; “I want you to take a message to Beaver for Hie then drew a torn envelope from his pocket, folded it into quarters, and scrawled hastily in one corner, ‘*Dear Beaver: Don't talk. M.S. Quay.” The reporter took the en- yelope, showed it to the general, and then thrust’ it into his pocket for safe-keeping. A few days ago he presented it to Mr. Hensel, who has had several fac-similes of the message made. ———+e2—______ ‘The Basin of the Columbia. Until a few years since stock-raising was the Principal industry of the greut treeless region of Eastern Oregon and Washington; but it has now been demonstrated that wheat of the best quality can be surely and successfully grown over a large area of the country, and that, too, as cheaply as anywhere in the world. The bunch-grass, unlike the prairie-grass of the western states, forms no sod or turf, does not need “breaking,” and the first ploughing will produce a crop. We ask if it is profitable. Hitherto transpor- tation charges consequent upon the many hand- lings at the different portages have not left much margin of profit tothe producer. The Columbia, open on a tidal level from the ocean to the Cascades, 1s there obstructed by the first cataract, a fall of twenty-five or thirty feet, which Is passed bya railroad portage of six miles, necessitating the handling of grain twice, from boat to car. Another stretch of river reaches to the Dalles, the second cataract, passed by a rail portage fifteen miles long, r quiring again the twice handling of grain, mak- Ing, with the transfer at each end from ware- house to ship, at least six handlings. The ex- pense of these numerous transshipments is be- ing rapidly reduced. The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company have already completed a line of rails from the Dalles to Walla Walla, and are constructing feeders in all directions from the main artery to tap the grain-growing country. They are also rapidly building trom the Dalles down to the Cascades, and prepar- ing their line from the latter place down the river to Portland. The’ Northern Pacifle are also pushing with great energy their conti- nental line from the mouth of Snake river eastward toward Lake Pend Oretlle and the pass of the Bitter Root Mountains. The great need of ail new countries, the railroad, will soon supply the rapid transportation of all that @new country wants. Transportation charg have alread, n reduced where railroad co: nections have cheapened the handiing, and whole farming and grain-growing Interest. hi brightened up at the encouraging prospects of the near future. One is astonished to see the immense numbers of farming and harvesting implements and machinery, inall thelr glory of fresh red and green paint, crowding the boats and trains on their way to the front of civilization. And yet this country has barely been wreated from the control of the Indian, and he atill makes spasmodic attempts to check the 07 powering flood of whites. us not suppose that all the advantages are on the side of the farmer, for there are some drawbacks and die advantages which prevent a man from being an optimist. To enumerate some of these, we will find that water isnot abundant, and often of poor quality, and the absence of ‘forest growth makes lumber expensive. The winds blow with great force in the sum- mer months, and carry clouds of sand and dust flying through the air. The nights on the high lands are cool, and occasional! frosts are lia- ble to occur. Nothing, however, seems to pre- vent the growth of whe: ne xeagon’s crop often taxing the carrying capacity of boats and trains to the utmost.—Clereland Rockwell in Harper's Magazine for December — — WEIGHT OF Weighed at the dustrial ce position, October LSS2. The object sought was a determination of the average weight of men and women, a fact often required by civil and mechanical engineers, Haswell states that the average weight of 20,000 men and women, weighed at Boston in 1864, Was—men, 141}¢ lbs.; women, 124'4. We have always thought these weights too low for west- ern people. The number weighed at the Tenth | Cincinnati Industrial Exposition was 22,155, and the total weight 3,072,306 Ibs.; men weighed, 7,467; weight, 1,150,168 Ibs.; women weighed, 14,683; weight, 1,922,198 Ibs.; average weight of men, 154.02 Ibs.; average weight of women; 130.87 Ibs.

OTIS’ FINEST ELEVATOR AND EVERY MODERN IMPROVEMENT THAT SCIENCE CAN THINK OF ON THE PREMISES! All those who have seen taire it, and judging from the immense business of the last month we must confess itisa grand success, and we shall strive to msintain the confidence of all, and instead of doubling our business, as we did last month, we shall try and tripleitduring the first year. Where there is a will there is away, and we know howto do it—that is by buying only from first hands by the original package, soastosaye the middle man’s profit, and selling at a Uving profit, When wesay profit itis something eel- dom touched by advertisers; but no merchant can exiet without it, asitcertainly costs something to pay One Hundred and Thirty-six Hands, which we now have on our pay-rolls. This is a large number for Washington, but not one too many for us, and we are now willing to take ten more clerks (experienced hands only) if we only kuew where toyet them. We do not employ all these for show, and must haye work to do it. Come and convince yourself that notwithstanding the warm spell our building is like a bee hive, and reminds anybody of the Bonmarche, of Paris, We have given ourimport orders for March and April delivery for about One Hundred Cases Dress Goods, Cashmeres, White Goods and Linen Hourefurnishing Goods, ete. Is it a wonder that we should be entitled to buy atlower figures than other merchants, as our house is claseed with the largest Jobbing houses of New York and second to none IN STANDING. Fa The memorandum invoices of the above we have nowonhand. Weaskone and all to deal with us. In return guarantee to sell at lowest New York retail prices and in many instances much lower (aa we can DRY GOODS. ___DRY Ggops. _ PROPOSALS. ‘ASSORTMENT LORE! vi .
