For the moment they were meSmeriZed by

were nearest on either side began cackling
with uncanny laughter, and a ju-ju man
who was with them recognized an art
higher than his own and allowed the super
stition that was native to him to rub away
the thin veneer of his education. Let US

off from his own hating speech to listen
He could not speak the language yet with

that drop of negro blood held her to her

PATRIARCH OF CANDIES.

Sugar-PIum Was First Made ans
Called 'DraEati'' by the Romans.
The most ancient kind of candy is
the sugar plum. 1t was the invention
of Julius Dragatus, a noted Roman
baker and confectioner who belonged
to the family of Fabius. According to
the New York Herald, 1t was in III
B. G. that he made the great discov-
cry which for twenty centuries has
done so much damage to teeth.
These bon-bons, called dragati, after
their inventor (dragees, in French), re-
mained the exclusive privilege of the
family of Fabius. But at the birth Or
marriage of one of that family great
distribution of dragati took place, as
sign of rejoicing. The custom is still
observed by many OF the nobility Of
Europe.
The pastille is of far later origin,
having been invented and introduced
into France by an Italian confectioner
the Florentine, John Pastilla, a protege
of the Medicis. When Maria de Med
lei married Henry ". of France, Pas
tilla accompanied his sovereign to the
French court, where his bon-bons had
tremendous vogue. Everybody want
ed the Florentine's pastilles, which
were excellent. He made them with
all kinds of flavors- chocolate, coffee,
rose, violet, mint, wine strawberry,
raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope and car
nation.
Burned almonds are purely of
French origin, owing their inception to
the gluttOny of a certain French mer-
chant. One day Marshal Duplessis-
Pralin, an old gourmet, sent for Las
sagne, who had already invented many
toothsome dainty, to concoct a new
bOn-bon for him. Lassagne searched,
reflected, combined, until finally he
conceived a delicious bon-bon, which
he baptized gloriously with the name
of his master, Pralino, the French for
burned almonds.

There is a lesson for every mer-
chant in the experience told by a rep
resentative of a Chicago mail order
house to gathering of newspaper men
in Iowa, says the Parsons Eclipse. He
said that the mail order business de-
pended entirely upon advertising. He
made one remark that merchants
should heed. He says they take the
local papers and directed their special
efforts to communities where the mer-
chants are not up-to-date advertisers.
If the mail order man finds that any
line of business In any town or city Is
not we'll advertised, as, for instance,
furniture, he said that they food that
territory with their literature and al
ways with satisfactory results. He be-
lieved it true, he said, that country
merchants could greatly cripple the
mail order business If they wodld adj
vertise freely and in the right maR-
ner. The country merchant should
get wise.
