PATHS WEDDING DAY.

London. Nov. 2S.-Adelina Patti has fixed
her marriage to Baron Kederstrom for the
first week in February.
She has received already warm letters
Of congra tulation from the Prince and
Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess
OF York and the cZar and czarina.
The story that Baron Kederstrom was
at one time the director of the Swedish
gymnasium in London is inaccurate. The
Baron was noted in Sweden as an athlete
and is one of the most expert exponents

EDIBLE CoFFINS.
queer Forms of Pastry In the Middle
Ages.

At very early period the orientals
were familiar with n kind OF pastry, a
mixture of flour, oil and honey, and for
centuries pastry-making went no
further, even among the nations in the
south of Europe. But in the beginning
of the middle ages change began TO
take place in the method of mixing the
ingredients, and some other substances
were brought into use. Butter, eggs
and salt found their way into pastry
making, and the result was a manifest
improvement. Paste next came to be
used as an Enclosure for meat, seasoned
with spices, etc. Afterward il went a
step further, the next use being for the
Enclosure of creams, fruit, preserves,
etc, and later still it began TO take the
many fanciful shapes in which it has
since been commonly found. In the
early stages OF English cookery the
pastry eases were called collins or
"coffynes," and were made in various
sizes from "gret coffynes with lowe
liddes" for the "tartes Of fflesche," to
the "smalle cofTynes" for "tartolcttes"
of "fische or fliesche," mixed with
'stuf of boylled figges ground and
good powdure and spices"
Petruchio, in "Thc Tanning of the
Shrew," IL may here be noted, calls n
little cap "a custard coffin" These cof-
fins correspond with the 'vol-au-vent"
of to-day. The art OF making very light
pastry, such as puff PASTE is probably
a modern one, but pastry OF several
kinds was anciently used. For meat
pastry butter was dissolved in boiling
water, and worked into soft mass
with fine -four. AS IL cooled IL would
set in any form desired Another paste
OF haky kind was made very much as
at present, while still another kind.
called pam puff, was made of fine -four
and the yolk OF egg, no water at all be-

proving very advantageous to the settlers
OF North Alberta, Canada, and is truly
boon 10 the farmers, is the establishment OF
creameries by the Government at regular dis
tances apart. The Government furnishes
the entire plant, puts il in and operates it
without direct cost to the farmer. From
the sale OF the butter the Government re-
tains 5 cents per pound, the balance going to
the farmer This is continued for three
years when the Government turns over the
plant and business TO the farmers, giving
them clear title of il. Thus these creamer-
les are put in at minimum cost TO the farm
er and paid for in way that he least feels il.
When we were there butter was selling at
Fl and % cents per pound. Cheese factories
were being established, too, along the rail-
road and much of the freight loaded on the
cars on our return trip consisted of butter
and cheese, as IL was in the best season for
milk. The produce found ready market in
the mining and numbering towns and dis
tricts beyond the Rockies, through the Brit
ish Columbia country, where il was, we
were told, difficult to supply the demand"
The Klondike is another field now open
to the Western Canadian farmer for all
produce of the farm, and the officials in the
Department OF the Interior. Ottawa, Cana
da, are kept busy sending out literature de-
soribing this great agricultural country. The
agents of the Government throughout the
United States are also supplied with litera-
ture, which they distribute free.

The Self-Help Emigration society,
whose Offices are at the Memorial hall,

the society has aided nearly 5000 per-
SONS TO emigrate.
The impression has gone abroad that
the United States government will send
