distinguished French chemist, M. Payen. The

agreercxacty with facts previously known in re-
guFd TO this nrtlcle A great error in the pfePa-
ration of coffee is that tits burned too much, by
which the liquid, when II is brought to the Table,
is destitute Of agreeable flavor, and has a bitter
unpleasant taste. :The reason of this is'shown.a

preserves tho maximum outweigh and aroma, but
gives out less colorng natter In this state, 100

swelling of the grain depends upon the property
which the nitrogcous matter deposited within the
