er grades of coll'ee. 'The bogus coll'".,
is sold at about one-third tin: price, of
the natural product, nnd this allows a
big margin of protil when tin; "com
pound" is mixed with the genuine ar
ticle. Molasses, rye lloiir, chickory
nnd other ingredients enter into the
composition or (he bogus coll'ee, and
it is claimed (hat it contains nothing
injurious to health. The secret of the
preparation, however, is jealously
guarded.
I he iiiatiiil'aelure of the bogus coffee
berry is commenced on Ihe third th.or
of the factory, otherwise known ns the
mixing room. At one end of a big
room a huge tub is located, where tin
tlilVeietit ingredients art; thoroughly
beaten up --tli" mixture looking very
much like children's mu I-pie batter,
ll is next placed in a sort of grinding
machine, over which a young girl pre
sides. Her work is to sec that the
preparation is thoroughly ground, niul
to look after the long, briek-shapi d
cakes as tin y come from tin: oven.
'Ihe putty-like substance is imw
ready for I In- next machine, which
merely culls it nut in thin :-hects, sim
ilar to pie-crust. A third contrivance
cuts these sheets into long, narrow
strips abiiiit an inch in width.
I'p to this point the composition
has not the slightest resemblance to
coll'ee. It tastes very strongly of mo
lasses, utnl is slightly bitter. The
next prociss is the stamping of tin
long strips into beans. Th" machin
ery Ihai docs this work is very intri
cate. There are a number of win a Is,
iihoiit six inches in diameter, and en
circled by a brass band. At even in
tervals there are iiideiiiatioiis just tin
si.e and shape of the c ,nvv side of
(heeoV"t' bean. The tint "I'onve.i
side of the beau is formed by another
hrus-hiindod wln.i l, slumped in a .sim
ilar fa-hii.lt.
The loin ; thiii stiips are run into
this machine and ill" divided by
knives into twoor three strip., the ex
net vv idlh of the beau. In ruimilij
through the wheels the beans are
stamped out with b wilih riug rapidity
falling into square sieves pla I direct
ly beneath the in lehiii".
The beans arc carried Io lle llooi
beneath, when- the drying r huii is
located. A long double tn r of clos
ets extends from on.- end of this
room to the oth !'. In-id- of t i i -
closets lltO sti' llll pi s. The sieve,
containing the stamp - l colT. i. beau,
are placed in the elos 'ts and th" steam
is turned on. One hiiinlre I and thirtv
degrees is tlie temperature required,
and the bean is left for si voial h i ir-.
to thorough' dry.
The beau is, of course, still very
l'ollgh, ntnl would easiiy i. det"Ct"d

A Stui y of Hat -il Luck.
Along in the late lilt's I was in New
York, mid one morning I woke up,
nit r having had only one meal in two
days, to lind myself the possessor of a
live-cent piece. I was as hungry as a
bear, and entirely without valuables
except my overcoat, mid tin! weather
wa.--I, ii terly cold. I left tny tempo
rary 1 iih.'ing phiee a stranger in a
strange town, and walked up P.road
way, in tin hopes of meeting soiue
one I knew. For three or four hours
I plodded back and forth, when sud
denly a feminine voice culb .1 my
name, and was greeted by a young
1 uly w hose family I had know n in
(i orgia. We chatf d a minute or
two, and she asked ni" to conic over
to Prooklvii, where they were living,
before I left New York. 1 said I was
going to h ave that evening, mid, us I
had hoped, she lu gged me to conn!
over and take dinner that v ry day. I
promised, and she left me with (he re
mark thai they d 1 at Ii. It was
then barely noun, ami I was nearly
furnished. Tin- fare to Urookly u was
then tin cents, so I wandered down
town toward the Wall St. pier, mid

see me, mul naked a million questions,
which I could give no connected an

I'liul sound set me nearly crazy. At

father took his s. at lit tic le ad of the
table behind ll big silver bowl id
steaming soup. We Were ail helped,
and I was praying for my pnrtinh tu
get cu.il enough to sip, when I hupe I
may die if my host didn't fall buck out,
of his chair, stricken with apoplexy.
(If course, tin :-, whs in. mole dinner;

I could. Nothing was left for un- to
