also contains gum and sugar, fat, acids, casein and wood fibre. Like
tea, it powerfully increases the respiration, but, unlike it, does
not effect its depth. By its use the rate of the pulse is increased
and the action of the skin diminished. It lessens the amount of blood
sent to the organs of the body, distends the veins and contracts the
capillaries, thus preventing waste of tissue. It is a mental stimulus
of a high order, and one that is liable to great abuse. Through its
fascinations the scholar burns the midnight oil, and too rapidly
reduces his store of vital force. To some temperaments it may be
called a poison. Carried to excess it produces abnormal wakefulness,
indigestion, acidity, heartburn, tremors, debility, irritability of
temper, trembling, irregular pulse, a kind of intoxication ending in
delirium, and great injury to the spinal functions. Unfortunately,
there are many coffee tipplers who depend upon it as a drunkard upon
his dram.
On the other hand, coffee is of sovereign efficacy in tiding over
the nervous system in emergencies. Soldiers in the late war declared
they could march longer and endure more hardships under the stimulus
of coffee than under that of liquor. During their long predatory
excursions the tribes of Central Africa subsist for many days at a time
on a mixture of coffee and butter. Made into balls an inch and a half
in diameter, one lasts a man during twenty-four hours. The Belgian coal
miners live on a less quantity of solid food than the French miners,
who are furnished with a smaller amount of coffee.
Coffee is also, in its place, an excellent medicine. In typhoid fever
its action is frequently prompt and decisive. It is indicated in the
early stages before local complications arise. Coffee dispels stupor
and lethargy, is an antidote for many kinds of poison, and is valuable
in spasmodic asthma, hooping-cough, cholera infantum, and Asiatic
cholera.
It is also excellent as a preventive against infections and epidemic
diseases. In districts rife with malaria and fever, the drinking of hot
coffee before passing into the open air has enabled persons living in
such places to escape contagion. Probably the nervous system is aroused
to a positive condition, in which fever germs are rendered innocuous.
That coffee is a medicine in cases of extreme alcoholism is well known,
but it is hardly understood to what extent this exhilarating and potent
beverage might be used in place of liquor. Coffee-houses, where all the
accessories are cheerful and wholesome for mind and body, greatly tend
to diminish drunkenness. In the city of Birmingham, England, according
to the report of the American Consul a few years since, the seventeen
temperance coffee-houses in operation received the patronage of
20,000 men daily, six days in the week. "And," he truly adds, "a large
proportion of these visitors would otherwise have spent their evenings
and their earnings in liquor saloons."
The methods of making coffee are as various as the nations that partake
of it. In Arabia the coffee is freshly roasted and pounded whenever the
decoction is prepared, and its flavor is enhanced by the addition of
a few aromatic seeds or a little saffron. It is drank in small cups,
without sugar or milk, but hot and strong, and Oriental hospitality
demands that it be served to every visitor. In country places the
people use an infusion of coffee leaves, steeped like tea and tasting
like a mixture of coffee and tea.
It is curious to observe that in the extremes of the North and South
coffee is alike regarded. In Sweden, near the midnight sun, where the
necessaries of life are scant and dear, Du Chaillu found that the
rudest cabin cherished a little store of the precious berry to be
used on festive occasions, feasts and funerals, or for the infrequent
and welcome traveler. Nothing in his narration is more touching than
those portions in which he describes the hospitality set forth in the
odoriferous cup in those hamlets near the Arctic circle, where salt
fish and sour milk form the staple winter food.
From its cordial and gently stimulating effect, Western nations may
well join in the panegyric pronounced upon coffee by an Arabian,
translated thus: "O Coffee, thou dispellest the cares of the great;
thou bringest back those who wander from the paths of knowledge!
Coffee is our gold, and in the place of its libations we are in the
enjoyment of the best and noblest society. Every care vanishes when
the cup-bearer presents the delicious chalice; it will circulate freely
through thy veins and will not rankle there. Grief cannot exist where
it grows; sorrow humbles itself before its powers."
Lastly, it may be said in the words of Sidney Smith, "If you want to
improve your understanding, drink coffee."
No matter where the coffee bean may have grown or how perfect its
condition, the decoction may be ruined in its preparation. Among the
numerous coffee-steepers in the market, one, lately devised, seems to
fill all requirements. It is the Common-sense Coffee-pot, a veritable
wonder worker, invented by Mr. Krag, of Indianapolis. A bag or
filter at the top, like that used by the French, is nothing new. The
improvement--and it is a great improvement--consists in a simple yet
ingenious arrangement whereby the steam is condensed and returned to
the coffee. By this means the delicate aroma is entirely preserved, and
the coffee made delicious and strong.
A FEW FACTS ABOUT GOOD COFFEE.
INFORMATION regarding the making of good coffee is worthless unless the
roasted coffee bean is at the outset of good value itself. The larger
percentage of roasted coffee sold by the average retailer is inferior.
The crude and ignorant manner in which roasted coffees are handled by
the small dealers is of itself sufficient to depreciate and almost
destroy the good that is in any coffee; and, to meet this emergency,
the Schnull-Krag Coffee Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., adopted a patent
can from which their coffees are sold. These cans are sealed as soon
as the coffee is placed in them, and, by the intervention of a trap on
the inside of the can, refilling is prevented except at their mills. To
further protect the consumer a strip of heavy paper is fastened across
the cap, or top, of the can, the removal of which becomes evidence of
an attempt at tampering with the contents.
The coffee placed in these cans comes hot from the coolers at the
mills, and is, therefore, fresh and fragrant, and no portion of the
aroma is allowed to escape.
These patent cans guard jealously the rights of the consumer, and all
lovers of good coffee should see that they get their supplies from
these cans.
The Schnull-Krag Coffee Co. has its own secrets of so mixing and
blending coffee as to get results which have never been paralleled.
Prof. William E. S. Fales, analytical chemist, of New York, pronounces
the fine coffees roasted and sold by the Schnull-Krag Coffee Company
not only the peer, but the giant of all roasted coffees.
The leading brands roasted by this company are "Windsor, Mocha, and
Java," and "Our Best Java," and every customer failing to find these
goods with their dealer should insist, for their own happiness,
comfort, and economy, that they order them from the company. The price
is never above that of inferior goods, and the coffees are so boxed or
crated that shipment is safe to all quarters of the globe. No dealer
need excuse himself. He can get these coffees if he so wills it. Insist
upon having them.
WHEN the foregoing papers were written by the famous authorities on
cooking, the Q. Q. common sense condensing coffee pot had not yet been
shown to the public, the inventor prudently desiring to give it a rigid
trial before claiming for it marvelous possibilities. It is now known
that the whole field of invention in coffee pots has nothing which
ever created the interest and captured the housekeepers affections
as has the Q. Q. Had Mrs. Harland or Miss Parloa, or either of the
contributors to this book been advised of the existence of this at once
practical, reliable and common sense coffee pot they would have given
it the priority over all other methods of coffee making. How do we know
this? How do you know that you would prefer a glass of pure crystal
spring water to a drink of Missouri river water? How do we know that a
gas jet is preferable to a tallow dip? So do we easily reckon where the
remarkable work of the Q. Q. coffee pot would place it in the opinions
of all good housekeepers.
