ORIGIN .oE,. "cockTAlL".
The Way the American Drink Game
'''. Into Existence.

The Way the American Drink Came
.'''. Into Existence.
The origin Of the, American "cock-
tail' is admittedly obscure, and many
attempts have been made to trace it,
says the American Epicure. An ingen-
ious but unconvincihg explanation that
has lately been going the round Of the
press gives it medical significance. The
old doctors, they say, had q practice of
treating certain. diseases of the throat
with pleasant liquor applied with the
tip end of a long feather plucked from
a cocks tail. They finally began I'd use
this preparation as a 'gargle, and the
name cocktail clung to it. The gargle
gave way TO an appetizer-to a mixture
Of bitters, vermuth and liquor that is
still in occasional demand. -.
For my own part prefer infinitely
the story of the Mexican beauty. Ac-
cording to this legend, the originaIcock-
tail was made from pulque, an alcoholic
beverage distilled from the Juice of the
maguey, or agave. The liquor, so 'tis
said, was discovered by Toltec noble,
who sent some of it to the king by the
! hand of his daughter. The, monarch
drank the spulque and looked at the
maiden. Whether the lady's looks gave
pleasanter flavor to the liquor, or wheth-
er the taste OF the liquor made the lady
seem to be faiter, is not certain; the
king, at any rate, fell in love with both,
" started puIqte plantation and married
the giEl, WHOSE name, Xochitl, thus be-
came associated with the national in
toxicant. The rest. is easy, When Gen.
:, Scott's troops came. to .7fexico they
drank the liquor, liked it, ana, with the
easy adaptabiIity of the Saxon, simpli-
fed its Aztec name into "eocktail,'' -
which they carried back with them to
|. the states. .. .f .... ........

machine made watch is finer than the
hand made watch. The Swiss makers,
driven out of their own field, have bought
American machinery. and with cheap
labor are turning out watch movements
which are sent 10 this county. In mi

Swiss in a hidden place and on the box
in large letters they print the name of
some we'll American manufac-

trademark monogram OF the American
firm, but the cross of the A is omitted, so
that exact imitation cannot be prove
