speechless and Swollen.

A story at the expense of Sir William
Harcourt is worth repeating. Before his
recent departure for the continent the
ex-chancellor of the exchequer spent
some time at the seaside, and Oh one oc.
casion visited a man-of- f-war lying on the
Hampshire coast.
After dinner, the weather proving
rather rough, the captain, an unusually
small and dapper man, suggested that
Sir William should sleep on board, and
thoughtfully surrendered his own berth
for the night TO his distinguished guest.
Next morning, at the early hour when
the captain usually rose, the latter's
sailor servant, who knew nothing of the
change of berths, brought cup Of coffee
to the cabin door and knocked once
or twice without receiving an answer.
Somewhat alarmed, the servant popped
in his head and asked:
"Dont you want your coffee this
morning, sir?"
The only reply was in the nature of 8
growl, and the terrified sailor beheld q
gigantic figure turning over under the
bedclothes. Dropping the cup Of coffee,
the faithful servant rushed to the ships
surgeon, exclaiming
"For goodness sake, sir, come to the
captain at once. He's speechless, and

The Father of the Cocktail.

The cocktail was the invention OF
Colonel Carter OF Culpeper Court House,
Va. Many years ago in that locality
there was a wayside inn named the
Cock and Bottle, the semblance of an
old English tavern, and which bore upon
it's swinging sign a cock and bottle,
meaning thereby that draft and bottled
ale could be had within-the "cock, " in
old Yernacuiar, meaning the tap. He,
therefore, who got the last and muddy
portion of the tap was said to have re-
ceived the cocktail. "
Upon one occasion, when Colonel Car
ter was subjected to the indignity OF
having this muddy beverage put before
him, he threw it angrily ppon the fiooi
and exclaimed. Hereafter l will drink
cocktails of my own brewing, " and then
and there, inspired evidently by the
spirit of Ganymede, he dashed together
bitters, sugar, the oil of lemon peel and
some old Holland gin, and thus and then
and there was the original cocktail con
cocted. Philadelphia Times.

IN the cucumber sponge (Euplec-

which were sold in the market at about

COL. SUMMERS PLANS,

Col. f. V. Sumner, commander oi
the military district comprising south
ern Arizona was in the city yesterday,
says the Tucson Star The colonel is
the son Of that grand old military
ehieftsln of war fame, Major General
Sumner, whose name is always spoken
with respect and feeling of admlra-
tion by those who knew him and his
brilliant war record. This is Col.
Summers first visit to Tucson. He is
en- route to San Bernardino ranch,
where he has one troop under Lieut..
Averill. Two more troops of cavalry
are en- ronte and will reach San Ber-
nardino May 81, making the entire
strength Of the troop on the line about
200. Col. Sumner has put his young
officers to the front with good results
as recent events show. The colonel Is
determined to hunt the renegades to
their lair and force them to fight or
surrender.
The commander Of the Mexican
troops on the line is cooperating with
our troops, and Col. Sumner believes
that arrangements will soon be made
by which the troops of the respective
governments can pursue the renegades
across the line and thus keep on the
trail while it is hot. If this plan is
carried out the Star predicts that ev-
cry one Of the renegades will have
surrendered or be gathered to the
bosom of their fathers before next
Thanksgiving day has arrived.
The good which has been accom-
plished during the last thirty days
demonstrates the kind of metal there
is in Col. Sumner and his practical
way of going after the redskins.
The Star believes that If Col. Sum-
ner is given full swing he will not only
clean up the Apache renegade busi-
ness but will insure safety to the set
tiers in the future.

OooHINEAL DYE.

The history OF the cochineal insect
was for long time very obscure, and
at enc time the species employed in
commerce was considered kind OF
grain. 1t was not uutil near the close
of the seventeenth century thAtit was
discovered to be Of insect origin, says
the Providence Journal. The insect
is native Of Mexico, where it was
raised by the Mexican Indians long
before the country was discovered by
the Spaniards. 1t is now cultivated
in some of the West India islands and
in few of our western states, but it,
is in Mexico only that it is raised in.
suficient quantities To form an article
of commerce. The insect is raised
on the cochineal tree, or the Indian
fig, or the nopal, which is a species OF
cactus.
The cochineal is first collected about
the middle of December. The in
sects are removed from the tree with
knife, the edge Of which has been
blunted, or are carefully brushed off
with a squirrel tail. This labor is per-
formed by the women. The insects
are usually killed by the application
of heat, by baking in the ovens or by
the heat of the sun
When the cochineal arrives in the
market it is in the form of a small
grain, having a convex and concave
side, but with very little resemblance
to the body OF an insect. 1t is used
for dying crimson and scarlet and for
making carmine. COchincal alone
yields a purple color, which, when
mixed with a solution of tin in nitro
muriatic acid, may be changed to
most beautiful scarlet. The discovery
is said to have been made in this man
ner:
A man who was making a thermom-
-eter placed in his window an extract
of cochineal made with boiling water,
and in some way a phial containing
nitro muriatic acid was broken over
it. This acid changed the purple dye
into a most beautiful dark red, and
by experiments this man soon found
that the tin dissolved in the acid
caused the change of color. An in
genlous dyer at Leyden, Holland,
brought the discovery to perfection.
The secret afterward became known,
and large dying establishment was
erected in Paris. This accident oc-
Cured 300 years ago.

The Solomonyille correspondent of
the Tucson Citizen writes: @ troop,
Seventh U. S. cavalry, under COM
mand of Lieut.. w. j. Nicholson, SOL
dierly and courteous gentleman, is
stationed here. The patrol of this di-
vision of the county is under his
charge. The county is daily cut for
trails within radius of twenty miles,
so that an Indian cannot possibly
cross without the fact becoming i'm
mediately known and vigorous efforts
to intercept them at once made.
These patrols are stationed from ten
to twenty miles apart, and meet each
day in their scout across the country.
Gen. Frank Wheaton, now in COM
mand of this division, is at Fort Grant
and preparations for sending out add
tional scouting parties are now under
way. On the first Of the month, as
per arrangements, Mexican troops
will cooperate south of the line and
then the renegades will be hunted to
death.
The patrol system now in force is
beyond the question of a doubt, the
most effective ever put in force in Ar
izona, and it is hardly possible that a
renegade Indian can escape with his
life. This is evidenced by the recent
killing Of the red outlaws on the south
ern borders of the territory.
