with pleasant liquor applied from a
cocks tail. They finally began to use
this preparation as a gargle. and the
name cocktail chung to it. The gargle
gave way to an appetizer-to a mix
ture of bitters, vermouth and liquor
that is still in occasional demand.
According to Mexican legend, the
original cocktail was made from pull
que, an alcoholic beverage distilled
from the juice Of the maguey, or aga
va. The liquor, so it is said, was dis
covered by Toltec noble, who sent
some Of it to the King by the hand of
his daughter. The monarch drank the
pulque, and looked at the maiden.
Whether the lady's looks gave pleas
anter flavor to the liquor, or whether
the taste of the liquor made the lady
seem the fairer, is not certain; the
King, at any rate, fell in love with
both, started pulque plantation, and
married the girl, whose name, Xochitl,
thus became associated with the ma
tional intoxicant. The rest is easy.
When General Scott's troops came to
Mexico they drank the liquor, liked it,
and, with the easy adaptability of the
Saxon, simplified it's Aztec name into
cocktail" which they carried back
with them to the States.

SUGAR INSTEAD OF COTTON.

A Florida Newspaper On the Substitu-
ton.
The Florida Parishes is urging the
substitution of the growing of sugar
cane instead of cotton. 1t argues that
there is more money for the farmer
in sugar and for this reason it makes
the recommendation. The Parishes
estimates of the relative returns per
acre are considered erroneous, but even
with some deductions the showing for
sugar is good. The article in Parishes
is as follows:
ct is well known to many that the
soil hereabouts is we'll adapted to the
cultivation Of sugar cane. Nearly every
farmer has patch of cane and makes
his own molasses and a few of them
make sugar Some years ago a few
enterprising men had under considera-
ton the question OF erecting a central
sugar refinery here and run railroad
eight or ten miles out into st. Helena,
and bring in cane. Then there was a
bounty of two cents on sugar. The
bounty was taken off and the scheme
fell through. The duty on sugar now
amounts practically to what the
bounty was, and we hope the promoters
of the central factory will take up the
matter and push it through. Land
that will produce bale of cotton,
worth about $35, to the acre, will pro-
duce forty tons of sugar cane. worth
about $3.50. Say your best land would
only produce half a bale of cotton,
worth about $17 or $1S, would you
rather not have twenty tons of sugar
cane, worth about 500?

A CURIOUS FISH.
Gives Heat, Light. Food and Medi

Gives Heat, Light, Food and Medi-
cine.
One of the very few natural COM
forts to be had in the Klondike re-
gion, says the Philadelphia Record, is
found in the candle fish, which is
plentiful all along the shores Of Alaska
and furnishes food, light, heat and
medicine to the hardy gold prOspectors.
The candle fish is Of the smelt va
riety, but larger and fatter. 1t is
easily caught and when held up to the
light is almost transparent. The
Alaskans dry these fish in large guam
titles and store them away for the
winter. When a native is showed in
and without light he has only to insert
the tail of candle fish in convenient
crack and touch match to it's nose
in order to obtain a clear three-candle
power light.
The backbone is largely formed of
phosphorus, which not only causes it
to ignite easily but also accounts for
the strength of the flame and the heat
developed. The substance of the fish,
largely fat, retards the rapid burning,
as the tallow acts in an ordinary can
die The fish is also valuable as food.
Still another use to which it may be
out is as substitute for codliver oil,
which, aiding the natural heat of the
body, serves to protect one against the
severe cold.

Great Pritain Has Many Troops
for Protection.

for Prot ectiOn.
The Colonist says that the Imperial
Army in India consists at the present
time of 10000 British troops with IS
batteries of artillery and 165 900 native
troops with IA batteries, in all 23S 900
men with 102 batteries of artillery Of
guns each. This is undoubtedly one
of the finest armies of the world. The
British soldiers on every occasion
when their mettle is tried show them
selves to be splendid fighters. The
Indian troops are composed of excel
lent material. A writer in Blackwood's
says that no British officer, who has
ever commanded native troops, doubts
their bravery. Scarcely ever does a
native Indian soldier develop qualities
Of leadership, but we suppose that the
system has much to do with this, for
it is not desirable to have men trained
to handle large bodies of men, who
might on some occasion be prompted
to act against the British The failure
of the Mutiny in 1857 was due in
large measure to the lack of leaders
among the mutineers, that is of men
capable of handling large bodies of
soldiers.
The Indian Army is made up Of
variety of races and representatives
of different religions. There are Brah-
mans, Mussulmans and Rajputs,
Cookers, Jats and Dogras, with Sikhs
and Pathans. There are men from
the Himalayas and from the SULLIVAN
range, from the plains of the Indus
and the table lands of the interior
This diversity of origin and religious
belief is an element of strength be-
cause it renders general discomfort
unlikely. A Hindu writer has written
to an English paper regarding British
rule in India. He says that India is
destined to be Independent, but only
at remote day. He says that Great
Britain is to be his country's regenera-
tor, but that the process of regenera-
ton will be long. Not our children
nor yet our grandchildren will see
British dominion removed from In
dia," he says, and elsewhere he states
that the restoration Of the country
to it's independence will be matter
of centuries. Centuries to India are
like decades to Europe.

WHY THEY SAY TOAST"
1t is an Ancient Word and Well Rec
commended

1t is an Ancient Word and Well Rec
commended.
The New York Tribune has found
that the word toast" used for de-
scribing the proposal of a health in an
after-dinner speech, dates back to me-
diaeval times, when the loving-cup
was still regarded as an indispensable
feature of every banquet. The cup
would be filled to the brim with wine
or mead, in the center of which would
be floating a piece of toasted bread.
After putting his lips thereto the host
would pass the cup to the guest of
honor seated on his right hand, and the
latter would in turn pass it on to his
right-hand neighbOr. In this manner
the cup would circulate round the ta-
BILE, each one present taking a sip
while drinking toward his right-hand
neighbor, until finally the cup would
come back to the host, who would
drain what remained and swallow the
piece of toast in honor of all the
friends assembled at his table.
History teaches us that the ancient
Greek, the Romans, the Assyrians and
the Egyptians were in the habit of
drinking one anothers health at din
ner Indeed, at Athens, the etiquette
concerning what may be described as
the liquid courtesies of this kind was
very strict and elaborate, being known
by the name of ''Philothesis." The par
Elephants of the repast were in the hab
it of drinking to one another until
they could carry no more, and they
would pour out the remainder of the
wine on the altar of any Pagan deity
that might happen to be handy. At
Rome the same custom prevailed.
Post-prandial oratory, however, was
severely condemned as out of place,
and while the Greeks contented them
selves with exclaiming as they put the
cup of wine to their lips: II salute
you, be happy" the Romans restricted
themselves to the exclamation: PRO
pino,'' which is the Latin for II drink
your health"

meaning the house of the Lord. And
still earlier the name Matrix Ecclesia
was given TO the cathedral, but at the
present time any church which has
others subject to it cap also lay claim
to this title.
In the Roman Catholic communion
no cathedral can be established without
direct permission from the Pope. nor
can a church, collegiate or otherwise,
be converted into cathedral without
the same permission. Nor can one
bishop have jurisdiction over more
than one cathedral. OF course, tenn
poral power has often arisen against
papal authority, as when, for instance,
in France the revolutionary Govern
ment reduced the number of dioceseS
from 1875 to so, in opposition to the
Vatican. However, had the revolu-
tionists asked, permission might have
been granted for SO doing, inasmuch as
the authorities of the church are often
willing to yield to the demands of the
times. Old sees are often suppressed.
By the concOrdat with Napoleon in
1903 Rome sanctioned the notification
of a large number of bishoprics, in
consequence of which France from
that time has contained only about IS
episcopates, instead of the 1875 existing
before the revolution.
Analogous changes are provided for
in the Anglican communion by the
theory of the royal supremacy, though
this theory has been modified some
what by the progress of political de-
mands. In the Anglican Church the
sovereign is still supreme ''in all
causes and over all persons, ecclesias-
teal as we'll as civil
The sovereign still has the title of
Defender of the Faith" though the
absolute power thus vested is some
what curtailed by the Parliament
which has a right to condemn or up
hold the will of the ruler. But, for the
most part, Parliament and head act
conformity, and both have often wiped
out old and set up new sees. In Ire
land 10 Protestant bishoprics were
suppressed at one stroke by act Of
Parliament, and also several suffragan
sees in England. But with the Roman
Church the power of suppressing or
creating a cathedral see rests with the
Pope alone.
When cathedral is once established
there are certain laws laid down for
it's government. The Council of Trent
forbids the holding Of more than one
cathedral church or the holding of
a cathedral along with a parish church
by the same bishop. 1t also enjoins
that the ordinations of ministers shall
| be publicly celebrated in cathedrals.
The bishop must be present in his own
cathedral at such ceremonies as neces-
state the services of a bishop. He
cannot name a deputy unless there is
| a coadjutor in the diocese. Neither has
the bishop absolute control of the ca
thedral funds AS in all other churches,
he is voted certain yearly stipend.
The cathedral differs in no respect
from other churches beyond the fact of
the bishops chair being located there.

FEW pigs IN THE PARLOR."

We fear that Ireland is losing her
national characteristics, says the Lon
don Daily Financial News. From the
return of the Registrar-General for
the present year on "The Acreage I'm
der Crops and the Number and De-
scription of Live Stock" we learn that
the number of pigs in the Emerald
Isle has actually decreased since 1896
by 1880. On the other hand, there
has been an increase of cattle, sheep
and poultry, though horses have de-
creased. In all seriousness, however,
the fact that Ireland is losing it's pigs
and horses is not an encouraging sign.
Neither is the return of the acreage
under crops cheering, since it shows
decrease of 1924 acres in the land
devoted to green crops, of which ~ 300
is potato land, while the total decrease
of land under crops is 97,S76 acres out
of total area sown last year of A.
843, 220 acres.

WHAT MAKES A CATHEDRAL?

Meaning of the Word and How
Church Becomes Cathedral.
New York has the largest Roman
Catholic cathedral on the Continent of
America vast structure requiring
over 20 years to bring it to it's present
state of architecture-andn not yet COM
pleted. And shortly we are to have in
our city another great cathedral to be
erected under the auspices of the pro-
testant Episcopal Church. We hear of
still another projected in Newark, and
cathedrals seem to be springing up
over the land.
Naturally the question arises, where
in does a cathedral differ from an or
binary church? What is a cathedral?
The word is derived from Kathedra,
which means raised seat; in this case
the seat of bishop. For the cathedral
is the church in which the bishop has
his seat or chair. It was in former
times called Domus-that is, the
house (Duomo, Italian; Dom, Germany,
