Coffee.

(Washington Post.)A French chemist has snilyzed the BUb«

stainee sold in Paris as coffee, and h;isdiscovered that It Is composed of adul-terated chicory, beetroot, turnips, pars-nips, carrots, dandelion, acorns, horse-chestnuts, haael-nuts, tigs, prunes, couch,grj'-s, pistacbols, almonds, walnuts, pe.i-nuts, dates, apples, and pears. All ol«these articles, usually in a damaged con«

ditloti, axo mixed together, «ground, roast-ed, «and added to a little real coffee. Thismixture Is What they drink in Paris an.
