The Cocktail.

The Cocktail.
AS beginning to course dinner.
the alcoholic cocktail is under the
ban. not only temperance people but
also those who understand the art of
delicate dining. When rum. whisky
and other pungent flavor beverages
are used their pungent flavor destroys
the appetizing effect Of the hors
d'oeuvres and seriously retard the
process Of digestion. On this account
the clam, the oyster, the various fruit
cocktails and those of appetizing herbs
are used, their object being to stimu-
late, but not to clog the appetite. The
gustatory nerves are extremely sensi-
tive and If abused by too highly-sea.

ate the more delicate and flowerlike

Historic English Recipes.

In England each county glories in
certain dishes which must be eaten
just there to be appreciated. The
Bath bun, Shrewsbury cakes, York
shire pudding, Banbury tarts and any
number of dishes that have become
famous. The average American goes.
sees, eats and pronounces them heavy
and sticky, but consoles himself with
the thought that they are historic
Good bread making is not said to be
an accomplishment of the English
cook. but the muffin or crumpet and
ten cakes are worth trying.
The great fault with the English
soups such as ox-tail and mulliga-
tawny is their strength and heaviness.
To begin dinner with any of these
soups as they are served in large
portion shows active digestive pow
ers, but lack Of knowledge as to the
real mission of soup in meal.
A breakfast menu recommended for
August is one that would not find
favor with us. Bloaters on toast,
corned beef, mullins. brown and white
bread and butter, marmalade and
boiled hominy. Olive Green says: IAN
American who ate a breakfast like
that in August probably would not

In scandalous orgies. This sort of
thing became offensive to the church
and Pope Gelasius ordered change.
Now, it 30 happened that one Of the
most austere saints in the Christian
calendar, good Bishop st. Valentine,
had been put to death, during the Clau-
dian persecution, on February IA,
A. D. 270, for the simple miracle of
opening the blind eyes Of his 1ailer's
daughter. Accordingly the day Of the
festival was changed to February IL

press this survival of Paganism by
the same old device which Pope Celia
sius had tried. But good st. Francis
reckoned with due consideration fol-
human nature, the spring of youth and
love making, which after all exists in
Christian youth as we'll as pagan. And
so the young people triumphed over
this saint and returned by degrees to
their heathenish practices and cava

It behooves the man, woman o,
child who expects to send out love
messages this February IA to do the
shopping at once, for the valentine
trade is not only heavier this year
than ever before, but it began earlier,
the middle Of January seeing pur.
chases made, while at the more popu-
lar book shops orders were placed be-
fore the stock arrived. Foresighted
hostesses, making plans for valentine
parties, made purchases by the dozen,
and the result has been that many Of
the novelties have been snapped up
before they were unpacked. The va.
riety remaining is large one. how
ever. for the trade proves to be one

are the prime favorites. at least 40
per cent. of the business is attracted
to the large, hand-painted valentines

Teddy bear postals are nice to have,
but, after all, there are many children
who still cling to the old-fashioned

 MAY BLIND MOORE
CHARGE FALLS DOWN SHAFT AND ExPLopEs AT HIS FEET. AT HoLBRooK.

One Of the mosst peculiar accidents ever known to have occurred in the mines of the Copper Queen company befell John Moore, a miner at the Holbrook shaft. when a charge of dynamite exploded at his feet after falling several floors in the sIope As a result it is feared he will lose his eyesight.
 Moore. with a companion. whose name cannot be ascertained. were eat ing their lunch yesterday at noon. A miner above them. three floors up, having prepared two holes. spit his fuses and left. expecting the shots to act as ordinarily they would. h. stead, the first hole going off, blew the charge of the second free, so that with fuse sputtering madly, it fell between. Moore and his companion, explodipng as it struck the earth Strange to say. the other man sui fered not the slightest inurya al though the blast was slightly nearer him than to Moore. The latter, how ever, was bending over slightly and received the full force of the small rock and dirt in his face and eyes.
 Moore is at present at the Copper Queen hospital. He was attended yesterday by Dr. Downs of Douglas, an expert in the treatment of affec- tions of the eye. It is his opinion that the sufferer will lose the sight of one, and possibly both. eyes.
