These coffins correspond with the

Of making very light pastry, such
as puff paste, is probably a modern
one, but pastry of several kinds
was probably used. For meat pas
try butter was dissolved in boiling
water, and worked into a soft mass
with fine flour. AS it cooled il
would set in any form desired.
Another paste OF flakY 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 being
used. This was for the finer kinds
OF confectionery.

How THE ANc1ENTs CooK.-At
a very early period the Orientals
were familiar with kind OF pastry,
a mixture Of -four, oil and honey,
and for centuries pastry making
went no further, even among the
nations in the south oi Europe,
says the GeNtle0zaN's MagasiHE.
But in the beginning Of the Middle
Ages a change began to take place
in the method Of mixing the ingre-
dients, 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 inclos-
ure for meat, seasoned with spices,
&c.
Afterward it went further, the
next use being for the Inclosure OF
creams, fruit, preserves, etc, and
later still il began to take the many
fanciful shapesin which it has since
been commonly found. In the
early stages Of English cookery
the pastry cases were called coffins,
or "cofynes." and were made in

China from accepting the British over
lures. By the opening of Talien- Wan
as free port, the value of Port Arthur
as a naval station would be diminished.
In the spring Great Britain will no long
er occupy herself with the Chinese ques-
ton and will certainly not take the Of
fensive, finding, as she will, the necessity
of devoting her strength and energy to
India, where a revolt infinitely more Sc
rious than the Sepoy mutiny is about to
break out. There Russia will be
able without difficulty to penetrate
through Afghanistan and the Pamirs to
the Indian possessions of Great Britain,
to whom she will dictate terms. We
have enough troops and we'll fortified
frontiers, without posts well connected
in the rear with our reserves by railways
and telegraphs, and we could in the
course of a few days place upon the AZ
CHAN frontier an army of 100000 men.
You perceive that all the chances are
on our side and we do not fear the
threats of England"

when the Portia struggled into clear
water.
Close to where the Portia lay, the big
steamship Virginia was locked tight.
She had been sent north by the Canadian
government with food for the starving
fishermen, but a short distance up the
coast she found the route securely block
ed and was forced to return to port to
prevent being ice-bound all winter BE-
fore her departure, news had reached
st. Johns that unless assistance was
promptly dispatched the unfortunate
inhabitants would be beyond relief.
Among the detained fleet at st. Johns
were a dozen or more sailing vessels,
loaded with Goldfish for England and
Brazil.
The city of st. Johns was in terrible
condition on account of the blizzard. The
streets were rendered impossible, the
railroads suspended work and the poor
were suffering through hunger and cold.
Prices of food had advanced until they
were beyond the reach of the poor.
When the Portia was working her way
out to sea. she was closely followed by
liic DdTh anu tutSt tWO VESSELS
were the only ones that succeeded in
leaving st. Johns.
Several miles off shore, the Portia
passed the steamer Grandland, fast in
the ice and in perlous condition.
The steamer Virginia was released
from her perilous position after the de-
parture of the Portia from st. Johns, and
the position of the rest of the distressed
fleet has been reported by telegraph to be
relieved

A TENDER OF SILVER
To Test the Legality of the Bland
Allison Act

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 31.-A friendly
suit in chancery was begun today in the
circuit court at Pontiac to determine
the constitutionality of the Bland
Allison silver act of 1878. Stephen Bald
win, a Detroit capitalist, purchased some
land upon which there is a mortgage
held by Fred A. Baker, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee.
Mr.. Baldwin rendered 364 silver dollars
in payment of the amount due on the
mortgage. Mr. Baker declined to accept
silver dollars unless enough of them
were rendered to equal, at the present
bullion value of silver 364 gold dollars.
Accordingly suit was begun to obtain a
decree compelling Chairman Baker to
cancel the mortgage and accept the ten
der made. Ex-CoEgressman Timothy
E. Tarsney is complainant's attorney
and all the parties are prominent silver
men and will carry the case to the

With Crookedness

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.-The pay
ment of bribes to Harbor Commissioner
Colnon was charged today in the super
ior court in the case of Samuel G. Irving

for Darby, Laydon & Co., was the wit
ness who pointed to these entries and

cate members of the board. He will
take the stand again tomorrow.
