EARLY HISTORY OF COFFEE
Traditions Differ, but the Beverage
Hi Been Appreciated for Many
Hundred, of Years.
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.

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
