There Is a tradition to the effect Mint cnfTco wns found growing wild In Arnliln ome 000 jenrs ngoliy HntlJI Ontnr, n dervish. IIiulJI Omnr was d)lng of hunger In the desert, when lie found soruo sinall, round berries and tried to ent them. They were, however, too hitter. After roasting them he flnnlly steeped them In water ond found the decoction ns refresh ing as If he had tmrlaken of solid food. Upon his return to Molika, he brought his discovery to the attention of "the wlso man," who were so well pleased therewith that they pro. clnlmed Hadji Omnr n saint. In llio Hlbllotheque Nnllonnle at I'nrls (here Ik n manuscript written In Arabic by (inn Abdclciidcr, who nvers that coffeu was drunk for tho first time In Arabia In the nftcenth century. Other authorities hao It that coffee was used In Persia as early as the ninth century, but Micro Is lit tic oldence to hear out their conten tion. Abdclcndcr's story of the discovery of coffee n ns follews: A certain Arab, Qemnlledln, u Judge fn Aden, while traveling to Persia or, ns the historians correct tho manuscript, to Abyssinia observed people using cof fee ns medicine. Ocmnlledln so cm ployed It, and wns cured of nn Illness. Later, on becoming a monk, he tnught his brethren In Aden the uso of the berry. No opposition to tho uso of coffee appears to have been offered until the middle of the sixteenth century, when the Egyptian sultan sent n new gov ernor, Chair Hoy, to Mecca. The gov ernor knew nothing of tho beverage nuil became greatly enraged nt the sight of the dervishes drinking coffen In tho mosques. Upon consulting with two Persian physicians he decided that coffee was a substitute for wine, which wbk prohibited by the ICoran, and that, therefore, coffee drinking was a violation of Mohammed's law. The result was n decreo forbidding the uso of coffee. All berries that could bo found wero gathered and burned In tho market placo. When Chair Hey reported his action to tho sultan, It Is said that ho received this written reply: "Your physicians uro asses. Our lawyers and physicians In Cairo aro better Informed. They recommend, tho uso of coffee, and I decluro Mint no faithful will lose heaven because he drinks coffee." Abystlnlans Claim Recognition. A delegation from Abyssinia bearing rich gifts of Ivory and silks for the an nounced purpose of congratulating Franco on her recent victory, appeared at tho peace conference In Paris. This Is In strict accordance with the ancient oriental procedure, The real purpoie of a visit Is not disclosed until pre liminary ceremonies aro concluded. These nutlve Africans whoso rulers claim descent from Solomon and the queen of Shebn wished to be In on the carving up of the world, for they hove Interests which seem vital to them, although little known to the rest of tho world. Seated In that natural bastion of Africa, the Abysslnlons have lived In greater or less security for unknown centuries. Thty are not ne groes, but a mixture of Hamltlc and Semitic races, with n culture of their owu and profcstlng the Christian re ligion, being a branch of the Coptic church of Ugypt. Until recently they have been unmolested save by native tribes.

I HARD TO JUDGE BY SOUND Nature Has Not Equipped All Crea. tures With Vocal Organs Commen surate With Their 8lze. It Is n very curious fact that the loudest sounds are not a!wn)s made by Mm largest animals. The rOnr of the lion exceeds In sonorousness tho cry of the elephant. Anyone who hod only heard, without seeing, n bullfrog, might well suppose that Its fearful voice, breaking the sllenco of the night, must certainly coma from the throat of an nnlmnl of formidable dimensions. Perhaps the most remarkable case of vocal power In an animal Is Mint encountered by n traveler In the high lands of Horucn. Hn wns Informed by some nnttves that they had heard n tiger roaring In the neighborhood. .Such news Is always startling to a stranger In the Jungles, and hardly less so to the nntlu's. An Investigation was accordingly set on foot, which resulted In the discov ery Mint the alarming roars had been emitted by n toad I This toad of Bor neo, however, wns by no means an or dinary member of tho family. It meas ured no less than HH Inches around the body. That tho natives should not have recognized tho true source of the sound shows that the exlstenco ot such roads was cither unknown to them, or nt any rate, thoy had never discovered the rcmnrkable vocal capa bilities ofthe anlmnli. In this relation Dates tells of nn, In cident that occurnd during his trav els along the Amnion. Among the many sounds henrd In the demo Bra zilian forests wns n kind of loud me tallic clanking, that sometimes rang through tho trees, and tho origin of which the traveler was unable to dis cover. Whenever It was heard, the na tives cowered with fear, ascribing It to a superiinturnl origin. Possibly tho nolso was so loud that they misted Its location by searching only for some thing of corresponding physical dimen sions. Where East and West Meet. As soon as I looked him ovor I know from his frank, engaging smllo, his rpenwork countenance and his free- and easy clothes, where ho was from. "Yes," ho snld, "You've guessod It. I'm from the West." "And you look down upon the East," I entured. "You regard Now Vork as esittitlally provincial believe Mint tho AHr-utlc sesbourd Is Infested by a ape ilea of human being with Ingrowing culture, with mock luteltectuallsm, with narrow mentality, Indeed with no natural, healthy, broad outlook on life." "Hut I enjoy my yearly visit," be mild, pleasantly. "Certainly you do," I replied. "You aro wise enough to overlook the self sntlstted stupidity of the easterner, and there are opportunities for realization not afforded In the West. You can b vibrated In New York In many keys." He shook his head. "You haven't got me at all," he aald. "There Is, of course, something In what you sny, Hut that Is not why I really like the Kast." 'Then why 7" I asked.- "Herause," he replied, pleasantly, "Id traveling through the Kast I always meet so many Westerners." Chester ton Todd, In Judge. The Wise Man.
