ST. VALENTINE.
A Field Day for Gallants and
BaShfui Lovers.

To-day is the Feast of St. Valentine, of
whom there are quite a number in the Cath
Ollie calendar. The two best known, how
ever, are those specially honored in to-day
oflice-namely. Valentine, the presbyter,
who was beheaded for the faith by the EN-
peror Claudius; and Bishop Valentine of
1erni who likewise suffered death for his
religion.
But while the church in her lessons and
collects recalls the valor of her worthy sons
few of the Englisb-speaking laity at this
time give thought to the religious comment
Grafton of the day. This is especially the
case among the youth of both sexes, with
whom particularly il Is a day of peculiar
observance whose origin is lost in ooscu-
rity. The most plausible theory for this is
that the word valentine in connection with
the observance referred to is corruption
of galentin, the diminutive of the French
gallant.
Be this as it may, gallantry is at the bot
tom OF the custom which prevails at this
season. Lovers usually exchange tokens
of their undying attachment for each other
to-day, duly gilded. perforated, perfumed
and illumined, according to the taste and
the youthful and bashful folks, who have
never yet mustered courage to tell their
love, take advantage of the privilege which
custom allows, to make st. Valentine the
medium OF their sentimental tales.
For a long while these two classes held a
monopoly of the unique traffic in valentines,
but for generation, at least, coarse and
vicious line of highly colored daubs and
vulgar doggerel las been put upon the

little of the organization was known to the
craft outside of San Francisco. A short
time ago the Secretary of the Seattle Union
came to this city and proposed amalgama-
ton. The plan was found not only practi-
cable, but highly desirable, and there is now
talk that the work may be extended, and a
Coast. if not a national, organization formed.
