EDIBLE COFFINS.
Queer Forms of Pastry in the Middle
 Ages.

At a very early period the orientals were familiar with 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 inclosure for meat, seasoned with spices, etc. Afterward it went step further. the next use being for the inclosure 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 cases were called collins or "coffynes," and were made in various sizes from "gret coffynes with lowe liddes" for the "tartes of ffiesche,' to the ''smalle coffynes" for "tartolettes" of ''tische or fliesche," mixed with "stuf of boylled fgges ground and good powdure and spices"
 Petruchio, iii "The Tanning of the Shrew,' it may here be noted, calls little cap "a custard coffin." These cof- fins correspond with the "vol-au-vent' of today The art of making very light pastry, such as puff paste, is probably 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 flour. As it cooled it would set in any form desired. Another paste of a flakv kind was made very much as nj present, while still another kind, called pam puff, was made of fine flour and t>. yolk of egg, no water at all be- inc used. This was for the finer klnds of confectionery.-Gentleman's Maga- zine

No class of people Is so liable to throat trouble as the great class who make up the Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the vocal organs by constant exercise; the sudden change from heated building to the cool air when the vocal organs are in a state of complete relaxation; the fact that a minister feels impelled to use his voice when actors and lecturers would take the needed rest these are among the reasons why ''Ciergymen's sore throat" is known as a special disease. The Rev. F. Nj. Brawley, D. D., District Secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society, writes from Petersburg Va, the account of an experience of his own which is prof. table reading to those afflicted with Bron- chiai or other throat troubles. The sub stance of the letter is as follows:
