A PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE.

Measure the water as well as the coffee. The proportions should be a heaped desertspoonful to each afterdinner cup. Guessing means poor coffee. Do not waste fresh coffee by addiug R to old grounds. Coffee grounds once "used can no more make coffee than ashes can build a fire. Do not boil coffee. It kills the flavour and makes it bitter. Use freshlvboiled water only. Grind your own coffee, and only suffieient for the moment. This 'is the best and simplest way to make coffee: Put your freshlyground coffee into an earthenware pot; pour in a measured quantity of freshly-boiled water; allow it to stay two minutes. Do not stir or shake. Then strain through a muslin folded to five thicknesses, pour into the coffee pot, and serve instantly.
