The Origin of Coffee.
Thomas R, Dawley, Jr., in Success.
As to the history of coffee, the
legend runs that it was first found
growing wild in Arabia. Hadji
Omar, a dervish, discovered it in
1285, six hundred and eighteen
years ago. He was dying of hun
ger in the wilderness, when, finding
some small round berries, he tried
to eat them, but they were bitter.
He tried roasting them, and these
he finally steeped in some water
held in the hollow of his hand, and
found the decoction as refreshing as
if he had partaken of solid food. He
hurried back to Mocha, from which
h6 had been banished, and, inviting
the wise men to partake of his dis
covery, they were so well pleased
with it that they 1 made him a saint.
The story is told that coffee was
introduced into the West Indies in
1723, by Chirac, a French physician,
who gave a Norman gentleman by
the name of De Olieux, a captain of
infantry on his way to Martinique, a
single plant. The sea voyage was a
stormy one, the vessel was 4ri\en
out of her course, and drinking wa
ter became sd scarce that it was dis
tributed in rations. De Olieux, with
an affection for his coffee plant, di
vided his portion of water with it,
and succeeded in bringing it to
Martinique, although weak, not in a
hopeless condition. There he plant
ed it in his garden, protected it with
a fence of thorns, and watched it
daily until the end of the year, when
he gathered two pounds of coffee,
whioh he distributed among the in
habitants of the island to be planted
by them. From Martinique coffee
trees in turn were sent to Santo Do
mingo, Gaudaloupe and other neigh
boring islands^
The coffee tree is an evergreen
shrub, growing in its natural state
to a height of fourteen to eighteen
feet. It is usually kept trimmed,
however, for convenience in picking
the berries, whioh grdw along the
branches close to the leaves, and re
semble in shape and color ordinary
cherries.
The tree cannot be grown above
the frost line, neither can it be sue
cessfully grown in the tropics. The
most successful ojiraate for produc
tion is that found at an altitude of
about four thousand feet. Anything
much above this is in danger of
frost, whioh is fatal to the tree; and,
when coffee is grown much below
this it requires artificial shade,
which materially increases the coBt
of production and does not produce
as marketable berries. It is owing
to this particular requirement that
coffee has never been successfully
produced in the United States.

The State Road.
Attorney General John O, Hart,in
expressing his opinion of the condi
tion of the Western and Atlantic
railroad, gives the state’s property a
clean bill of health. He says that
fully 90 per cent, uf the road bed is
ballasted, and that much of the old
rail has been removed and heavy
iron substituted.
The bridges, he said, are in fine
condition,being constructed of steel.
Judge Hart says that the lessees of
the property have built blooks of
brick business houses in Chattanoo
ga on the land owned by the state
and that when the lease of the Wes
tern and Atlantic expires these stores
will become the property of the state
of Georgia,
Maj. McGullom, the general super
intendent of the Western and Atlan
tic, accompanied Gov. Terrell and
Attorney-General Hart upon the
trip of inspection and gave the
state’s officials every opportunity to
make a dose examination of this
most valuable piece of property. Mr.
MoOullom states that the lessees of
the property are doing all in their
power to improve the condition of
the road.—Atlanta Special to Macon

length he tried Electric Sitters.

Sandalwood Oil.
Saturday Evening Post.
Oil of sandalwood, which is one
of the most valuable substances
known to the perfumer, affording an
exceedingly delicate and delicious
scent, has at last been made by syn
thesis.
It was purely an accident. Dr.
David T. Day, of the United States
Geological Society,was making^some
small chemical experiments recently
on the mantel shelf of his office in
Washington. He had some crude
petroleum from a Texas well and
was putting it through various pro
cesses, more for amusement than
anything else, when he noticed that
the liquor resulting from a certain
“reaction” had a powerful odor. It
waB too strong to be agreeable to
the nostrils; but he moistened a bit
of paper with the fluid and, waving
it in front of his nose, perceived im
mediately that the smell was that of
sandalwood oil. He had obtained,
quite by chance, an artificial oil of
sandalwood—impure, it is true, but
easily susceptible of purification by
refining.
The discovery is believed to be of
great value commercially, but Dr.
Day has too much scientific busi
ness on hand to bother with exploit
ing a synthetic perfume, and makes
the world welcome to his lucky
“find.” Inasmuch as the oil can be
got from petroleum in endless quan
tities at a very cheap rate, it is like
ly to drive the ordinary sandalwood
oil, which is obtained by distillation
fr6m the wood, out of the market.
It takes 100 pounds of sandal
wood to yield thirty ounces of the
precious oil, or attar. The oorreot
name of the tree is sandalwood, and
it used to grow plentifully in China,
but the natives have burned it to
suoh an extent for centuries past for
incepse, to be used in their worship
of Buddha, that it has become al
most extinct in that part of the
world. Ac the present time it is ex
tensively cultivated for the Chinese
market in the Sandalwood Islands.
The destructive white ant of In
dia and China, which devours nearly
everything save metals, will not
touch sandalwood, and that is one
reason why so much of it is made
up into caskets, boxes and similar
articles that come from Asia. Most
people are familiar with the agreea
ble perfume of boxes made of this
material.

FORT VALLEY, GEORGIA,
His Arithmetic Correct.
Maj. Stofer of Washington, D. 0.,
Virginian, journalist and raconteur,
is very fond of children, says the
Detroit Free Press, and recently at
Gape May he made friends with a
bright boy of about 10 years. One
day when the boy joined the major
on the beach he had with him two
little girls.
“And who are the pretty little
misses?” inquired the major, with
true Culpepper courtesy, after greet
ing the boy. 1
“My sister,” replied the boy, with
a twinkling eye.
“Which one is your sister?”
“Both is,” said the boy. 1
“Both are,” said the major, re
provingly, as his manner is at such
times. 1
The boy shook his head, ,
“Oh, yes,” insisted the ’ major.
“Both are your sisters; each is your
sister.”
“No,” insisted the boy; “both is
my sister.”
“How do you make that out, sir?”
Said the major, with dignity.
“Each is my half-sister, and two
halves make one, don’t they?”
Whereupon they all ran away, and
the major stood rubbing his chin in
much perplexity.
