CONFECTIONERY.
The Sugar Plum Is the Most Ancient
Kind Of Sweetmeat.

The Sugar Plum Is the Most Ancient
Kind Of Sweetmeat.
The most ancient kind of sweet
meat is the sugar plum. 1t was the
Invention of julius Dragatus, noted
Roman baker and confectioner, who
belonged to the family of Fabius. Ac.
cording to an authority on ancient
history, it was in III B. c. that he
made the great discovery which for
twenty centuries has done so much
damage to teeth.
These bonbons, called dragati, after
their inventor (dragees in French), re-
manned 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 a
sign Of rejoicing. The custom is still
observed by many Of the nobility Of
Europe.
Burned almonds are purely Of French
origin, owing their inception to the
gluttony Of a certain French merchant.
One day Marshal Duplessis-Pralin an
old gourmet, sent for Lassagne, who
had already invented many a tooth
some dainty, to concoct new bonbon
for him. Lassagne searched, reflected,
combined, until finally he conceived a
delicious bonbon, which he baptised
gloriously after the name Of his mas
ter, praline. the French for burned
almonds.-Pearson's Weekly.

A BOY HUNT.
Chased From Hedge to Hedge by a Bio
Pack Of Weasels.

Chased From Hedge to Hedge by Big
Pack Of Weasels.
The following extract from an inter.
esting book may be of interest to our
friends. 1t is From My Life as an
Angler" by William Henderson, pub
lished in London in 1879.
"About this time. while rambling in
the picturesque lane leading from Mer-
rington to Windlestone with two other
boys, an adventure occurred sufficient
~ startling to two little fellows from
nine to ten years old. We were busily
engaged in picking wild strawberries,
which clustered in the hedgerows,
when we saw at about hundred
yards distance pack of at least
twenty weasels running from hedge to
hedge and evidently scenting out foot.
steps. 1t flashed upon us that we were
being hunted. So, springing over the
nearest hedge, we ran across a pasture
field and, standing upon the farther
bank, looked back toward our assail-
ants. To our dismay we saw the whole
pack, with noses to ground, steadily
tracking our course. The word was
given, Run, rum and off we scam
pered across another field to take up
our position on another hedge. Still
the pursuit was going on. and the crea-
lures We're evidently gaining upon us,
SO with wild shout we fed to the
village, which, happily for us, was not
far off. have frequently heard of
persons being attacked by weasels, but
was never hunted by them on any 9TH
er occasion"
The above must have occurred about
1872, the locality being the north Of
England.-Forest and Stream.
