SUGAR PLUM CENTURIES OLD
IL Was Invented by Julius Drasatus,
q Roman Baker, In the Year
1T 3, O.

OF all candies, perhaps the Sugar
plum" boasts the most ancient line
age. 1t WAS the invention Of one Ju-
Illus Dragatus, a noted Roman baker
and confectioner, a member of the
family Of the Fabii.
Dragatus put forth the first speed
men of this CONNECTION In the year 1T
B. c. The bonbons Of this variety
were called dragati. after their inven-
tor (dragees is French), and their
manufacture constituted a monopoly
enjoyed exclusively by the Fabian
family. Whenever there vas a birth
or a marriage in that family a great
distribution Of dragati took place as
an evidence Of rejoicing. This Gus
tom is still retained by certain Of the
old noble families of Europe.
The pastile is Of a far later origin
It was invented and introduced into
France by an Italian confectioner, the
Florentine Pastilla, a protege Of the
Medici. When Maria de Medici mar
ried Henry w of France Pastllla ao-
companied his royal patron to tho
French court, where his bonbons soon
achieved a tremendous vogue. Every
body ate the Florentine's candles.
They were offered in all flavors.
Burnt almonds are a CONNECTION of
purely French origin, owing their in
ception to the gluttony of a French
merchant. One day, tradition has it,
Marshal Duplessis-Pralin sent for Las
sagne, the inventor of many tooth
some dainties, and babe him concoct
a new bonbon. Lassagne searched, re-
fiected, combined, until he finally hit
upon the CONNECTION of burnt almonds,
which were baptized with the name Of
the old gourmet, the French for
burnt almonds.

PATHOS OF EATING OYSTERS
1t Requires Great Moral Courage to
Think Of Swallowing One Of

To me the practice of devouring
any animal life in its entirety is. and
always has been, most difficult. The
terrible demand Of the oyster ia that
he be swallowed as a unit, with all
his hopes,~ his Joys, his sorrows. his
love, his fears, and his ears and his
tears; the thought is appalling,
l can eat large slices of q COW, and
! suppose In a lifetime | have eaten a
number OF mature oxen, a few calves,
a flock OF sheep, several lambs, a
number OF turkeys, e long roost full
OF hens, a good sized aquarium, q
goose or two and some ducks-but /
did not swallow any OF them whole.
l took a slice at a time and enjoyed

age for most dishes.

my moral courage to think of eating
one. Every time / get one Of the lit
tie biYalyes before me my eyes mag
nifty him, he grows larger and larger,
an emotional lump rises~in my throat
and | am obliged to content myself
with swallowing my emotions instead
OF swallowing the emotions Of the
the oyster. When | look at the little
fellow lying helplessly before me, with

more difficulty in retaining him.-AI-

If you desire to keep your children

Judge Annidon today that it had

Judge Amidon said the question to

dead when the suit was filed in 1904.
Unless Kimmel was dead then, he
said, the plaintiff was not entitled to
verdict.
while acceptance of the claimant
would necessarily have meant a YER

does not necessarily mean a verdict
for the plaintiff" continued Judge
Amidon. 'The death Of Kimmel must

Kimmel is dead than that he is alive
