AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
What On Visitor Was Trt.d to at
Washington'! Horns.
The diary of Manasse Cut lor, Hi
founder of Ohio aud the uuthor of tin
ordinance of ITS', gives an Account l
a visit he made to Mount Vernon
two yea" after General Washingtou't
death. We say "General' Washing
ton, for that was what Mrs. Washing
ton was pleased to call him a copy foi
til those good womeu whose husband
have won them honor on the Held o1
war.
Mr. Cutler says it was the desire ol
their party to arrive at Mount Vernoi'
In time for breakfast (7 o'clock) with
Mrs. Washington but the bad road;
and worse horses detained them.
they did not reach there until about
10; which Mrs. Washington regretted
but she said, "Breakfast would be
ready In a few tninutes." The diary
goes on to say:
"In a short time she arose and desired
u to walk into another room, where n
table was elegantly spread with ham.
cold corned beef, cold fowL red her
ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna
mented with sprigs of parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. At
the head of the table was the tea and
coffee equipage, where she seated her
self and sent the tea and coffee to the
company."
The point of Interest Is that break
fast menu five kinds of meat decked
with sprigs of parsley and accompa
nied with divers vegetables. Isn't
there an appetizing array and doesn't
the heart long for just such a scene?
Of course the mere feeders, the fel
lows that hanker for hot things, may
not think so, but the very mention of
cold ham, cold chicken, cold mutton
and cold corned beef all In the same
breath Is an appeal to a conscientious
appetite that is unresisting. And that
was a breakfast of the long ago.
Most generous providers these well
to do people in the early daysl How
good everything must have tasted:
That roast chicken and roast mutton
and that great tender clean chunks of
It, that he would not dare say which
was best, for each was best Compare
It with our latter day breakfasts a
roll and an epg and a cup of coffee!
Of course we like our way. but that
Is possibly because these are degen
crate days. Ohio State Journal.
HE WAS SCARED.
Why the Drummer Mads Record Tims
Out of Pittsburg.
"I am not a man to brag," said the
Cincinnati drummer, "but I feel that I
can honestly say that I was never real
cared but one time in my life, and
that happened a year ago."
When asked In a casual way to back
np his statement with particulars, be
continued:
"I was at a hotel in Pittsburg. I had
a room on the third floor, and in com
ing out of it on an occasion 1 bumped
against a man who was passing. I
was feeling in ugly mood that day and
when the bump came I shot off my
mouth at the stranger. lie replied in
kind, and I suddenly shot out my left
and caught him on the point of the
chin and dropped him like a log."
"And you thought you had killed
himV
"No. He lay there and snored like a
teal, and I went downstairs and told
the clerk he had better see to him.
Three minutes later I had twenty dif
ferent men around me begging me to
fly for my life."
"But why?'
"Because I had knocked out a mid
dleweight prize fighter who had won
over thirty battles. Gee whiz, but
when they told me who the chap was
my knees gave under me, my mouth
get dry as cotton, and I didn't stop for
my grip. I was dusting across the
river within ten minutes, and I didn't
feel safe for the next three days.
Lordy, but think of it a dry goods
drummer who had never had a glove
on knocking out a champion middle
weight! Did I run? Well, I made
record time, all right." Chicago News.
A Little Mrs. Malaprop.
Bessie Green, a tot of seven, likes to
nse unusual words. In this she is a
constant source of amusement to her
relatives, with whom she frequently
corresponds. On one occasion, while
confined to the hospital, she received
this note from her aunt:
I am delighted to hear that the crisis Is
part and that you are now convalescent
lours, with affection, AUNTIE.
A few days later the aunt received a
fcrlef reply.
Dear Auntie I have been very 111. but
the nurse says she Is delightful to tell
you that I am now convulsive. Yours,
with Infection, BESSIE.

His Part.
Moggs was returning to the
club-
house when Wilson met him.
"Well, how did you get on today'"
queried Wilson.
"1 never saw better golf," said Moggs.
"My opponent got away every drive.
he hit every brassie clean, he ap
proached up to the hole perfectly, and
he never missed a putt"
"How much were you beaten by?"
"Beaten! I wasn't beaten. I won!
Pearson's Weekly.
Johnny's Definition.
"what is the meaning of the word
tantalizing?" asked his teacher.
I'lease. ma'am." spoke up little
Johnny Holcomb. "It means a circus
procession passing the school and the
scholars not allowed to look out."
Genius Is a combination of aspira
tion and insoiration. Irish Pr iverb.
THE COCOA TREE.
This Evergreen Is Found Everywhere
In th Tropics.
The cocoa tree Is an evergreeu and
grows to a height of from fifteen to
twenty-five feet. Its leaves being
bright and smooth, somewhat resem
bllng the foliage of a rubber plaut It
Is very low branching, and the blos
soms are small aud piuk. The blos
soms and pods not ouly spring from
the branches, but often from the trunk
Itself. The fruit is a yellowish pod
about the she of a cucumber aud is
filled with seeds, all strung together In
a pulpy, pinkish mass. It Is from these
seeds or beans, each about the size of
a chestnut, that the chocolate and co
coa of commerce are manufactured.
The trees bear from the fourth to the
thirtieth year, and it la not unusual to
see on the same tree buds, flowers and
fruit.
When ripe the pods are gathered by
the native women aud are allowed to
lie on the ground for a day or two,
after which they are opened. The pulp
containing the beans then ferments
for about a week, the astrlngeut quali
ties of the beans being much modified
and their flavor Improved.
After being thoroughly dried the
beans are packed in hundred pound
bags for shipment When received by
the manufacturer they are carefully
picked over for quality, assorted and
roasted. The nibs, as the roasted beans
1th the shells removed are called, are
then fed Into a hopper and ground be
tween stones similar to an old fash
ioned flonr mill. The grinding process.
coupled with the friction of the stones.
which produce a temperature vt some
120 degrees, changes the solid nibs
(without the addition of anything) into
a thick, heavy liquid. This Is technic
ally termed "chocolate liquor" and Is
sold to coufwtkners.
This same liquor, subjected to hy
draulic pressure, with the resultiug
separation into a clear oil, gives the
cocoa butter of commerce. The remain

solidified becomes cooking chocolate,
and, with sugar, vanilla and spices
added. It Is sold as "sweet" or "eating"
chocolate.
BEATING THE LAW.
8unday Travelers and Inns and Tav
erns In Scotland.
There Is a law In Scotland generous
to travelers. That law grants them
the privilege of all taverns and Inns
during prohibition hours. Thus if you
arrive In Edinburgh on a Sunday, hav
ing traveled, say, from Glasgow, your
innkeeper Is bound to serve you with
any sort of alcoholic refreshmeat, al
beit the native of Auld Reekie must
fret and starve his Sawbath away on
ginger ale, memories and the auroral
promise of tomorrow. But the law Is
merciful. He that hath Journeyed
three miles Is a traveler within th
meaning of the act
Consequently there Is a vast array of
travelers leaving Edinburgh on foot,
on coaches, pony carriages, etc., for
the trains run not
They all seek to constitute tbem
selves as travelers. Just within tho
three mile limit, as far as Edinburgh is
concerned, lies the historic village of
Corstorphine.
A traveler arrives from Edinburgh.
He knocks at the door of the village
Inn. He is wearied by bis long walk.
He Is in sore straits.
The door is opened timidly, cautious
ly, and a voice Is heard, "Who Is It?"
"A traveler," Is the weary answer.
"Whaur d ye come from?"
"I come from Edinburgh," Is the an
swer.
Then ye canua come In. It's against
the law."
The door Is banned ruthlessly.
The traveler thinks awhile. Your
Scotsman thinks slowly, but very
surely.
After deliberation he knocks again.
Th formula is gone through.
"Whaur do ye come"
"Frae Lelth," answers the traveler
quickly.
"Then ye may come in. Why did ye
nae fell the truth at first?"
Dixie's Land.
The phrase "Dixie" or "Dixie's
Land" Is supposed to be derived from
one Dixy, a kind hearted slave owner
on Manhattan Island In the latter part
of the eighteenth century. His treat
ment of his negroes caused them to
regard his plantation ("Dixy's") as lit
tle short of an earthly paradise, and
when any of the slaves were taken
away from their old home they were
always pining for "Dixy's" and singing
and talking of its Joys. When slavery
moved southward, the same Ideal of
"Dixy's" was taken along, and In the
course of time, its origin being forgot
ten, it was applied to the southern
homes of the negroes. New York
American.
Lighting Up.
"Ever notice." nsked a salesman for
a grocery house that makes a business
of supplying the big New York hotels,
"that if you stroll uptown and look at
any. of the big hotels you will see them
all pretty well lighted up? Plenty of
rooms occupied apparently. Well,
that's sometimes a bluff. The help has
orders to light up a- number of the
front rooms every evening Just so that
the hotel won't look like a graveyard."
New York Sun.
Hottentot Women.
Among the Hottentots women hold a
better position than they do anywhere
else in Africa. "The married woman."
says cie traveler, "reigns supreme mis
tress. Her husband cannot without her
permission take a bit of meat or a drop
or miiK." Generally "they rank mucB
abovn the average of the negro races
