For Your cousin jack

Ny recipe file is the only memory
book which | keep, but its dear rich
one for all of that
Perhaps one of the most vivio
memories, and an interesting one too
comes to me when I look at the caro-
entitled Mrs. Hills Cornish Pasties.'
That card will be two years old this
June, because it that long ago that
Mrs. Hill gave me the recipe.
Perhaps you don't know what
Cornish Pasties are. Well, I didn't Ell
ther until went to Butte. Everyone
who goes to Butte always finds out
and never forgets. During my first
day there, housewife looked at me
teasingly and said, "Ill bet l know
something you don't" When I begged
her to tell me what it was, she said
trimuphantly: "Cousin Jack Pasties."
She was right, l had never heard of
them.
So then I began research ON Cousin
Jack Pasties.
Cousin Jacks, l found out, is what
the Cornish men are called, and the
women they say, are all Cousin Jen-
MES. And pasty is a sort of meat
and vegetable turnover which Cousin
Jennies make for Cousin Jacks. which
miners put in their lunch pals; and
which everyone likes almost better
than any other economical meat dish
in the world.
Mrs. Hill was the Cornish woman
who made pasties at our Butte Cook
ing school and showed me how she
did it. Perhaps you would like to
know too:

VALENTINE HISTORY

"Madder's Rambles in an Old City" is
found description of the scene. as
follows: 1.-THE streets swarm with car
riers and baskets laden with treas
ures: bang, bang, bang go the knock
ers. and away rushes the bangor, de-
posting first upon the doorstep some
packages from the basket of stores.
Again and again at intervals at every
door to which a missive is addressed
is the same repeated, till the baskets
are empty. Anonymously ST. Valen-
tine presents his gifts. labeled only
with st. Valentines love and Good
morrow, Valentine.
Many of the gifts were hoaxes, much
like April Fools day, for, continuing,
he says: "T'he mock parcels that VAN
ish from the doorstep by invisible
strings when the door opens, monster
parcels that dWindle to thread. papers
denuded of their multiplied envelopes,
with fitting notices all tending to the
final contamination of good counsel.
Happy is he who expects nothing and
he will not be disappointed 1t is a
glorious night; marvel not that we
would perpetuate so joyous fes-
tivity."
In a series of essays published in
England in 1856 other customs of
the ud are given. Vic IL lS-
corded, pinned a bay leaf to each cor
ner of her pillow and placed a fifth
i'm the center; if she dreamed Of her
sweetheart the marriage was sure to
take place during the year. But TO
make the experiment more sure. she
further states that she boiled an egg
hard and took out the yolk and filed
it with salt. Upon retiring she ate it,
shell and all. without speaking or
drinking. 1t is not difficult to under
stand why this custom has not per-
sisted.
AS the celebration of st. Valentine
comes down to the present generation
it is one of purely sentimental remem-
brance, emphasizing the modern ten
dency to sweep away the cobwebs of
antiquity and retain the sociable Gus
toms of merit. And so the fair lady
and gallant swain rely more on the
psychology of a dainty. lacy, sentiment
tai tidbit than on swallowing an indi-
gestible horror sure to cause night

in a knitted toboggan hat, his feet

TT is q far cry from the year 270,
- with its pagan celebrations and
St. Valentine suffering martyrdom,
down to the present one, and yet he
still holds majesty in the heart of
today. Down through seventeen cen
lures has persisted a pretty custom
which proves that human nature does
not, after all, change SO very much.
The origin of observances of ST. Val
entine's day is somewhat clouded in
obscurity. but it is fairly well estab-
lished that the saint who met his
death by being first beaten with clubs
and then beheaded had very little to
do with the celebration except that
his day happened to be at hand when
ii became desirable to substitute a
Christian festival for a long estab-
lished pagan observance.
In ancient Rome it was the custom
during the greater part of the month
of February to celebrate the Luper-
Gala, or feasts in honor of Pan and
Juno; the latter deity was then named
Februata, Februalis and Februlla.
ON these occasions part of the cere-
monies consisted of placing in box
the names of young women and then
as chance directed they were drawn
out by the men.
The leaders of the early Christian
church automatically endeavored to
uuash all such pagan celebrations and
superstitionss This was chiefly ac-
complished through changing the
forms somewhat or substituting other
thoughts or ideas. for il had been
proven that it was impossible alto
getler to eXtirpate a ceremony to
which the masses had become at
tached through generations of OBJ
seryance. Accordingly the outline of
ancient ceremonies was followed, but
modified IN ways more in keeping
with the Christian era. st. Valentine
was a recently martyred priest, and
AS the festival of the Lupercalia had
commenced about the middle of Feb.
luarv it was natural to choose his
. birthday as the day of celebrating the
substituted feast.
In various countries the celebration
las taken on different aspects. Al
Norwich, in England, for instance. St.
Valentines eve is kept as n time for
general giving and receiving gifts. In

Color Changes.

! IT is with surprise that visitors to
the Yellowstone National Park
| who return after an absence of a.
i year or more, find that many changes
have occurred in the appearance of
! the colored terraces at the Mammoth
Hot Springs. Indeed, such altera-
| tions occur sometimes in a period of
a few weeks.
Now the terraces consist of a Sc
ries of basins. each set being a few
feet lower than its predecessor, and
!, the hot water from the springs at
the top of the terraces flows from
basin TO basin. depositing its chalky
sediment at the rims. thus slowly
building them up. Wherever the
flow of water continues constant for
considerable time the futed edges
and sides of the basins become
beautifully colored
The variegated hues are mainly
due to the vegetable matter, and so,
If the flow OF water ceases, these
bright colors rapidly fade, leaving the
terraces milk-white. In q little while
the edges and walls of the dry basins
begin to crumble. and the most
beautiful forms disappear in white
dust and chalk-like fragments.
One of the favOrite terraces at the
hot springs, called the Minerva Ter.
race, exhibits these changes in a
marked degree, because of its con.
spicuous position.
Sometimes. owing to a failure of
the flow OF water. the Minerva Ter
race parts with its splendid colors,
and resembles set of f1uted basins
carved out of snow-white marble.
But when the water begins to run
freely again the colors return with
all their former vividness and beauty.
The changes in the flow of the
water seem to depend. in part at
least, upon conditions prevailing In
the heated rocks underlying the ter.
races.

tracted to an instrument in the stand
that supports the telescope. 1t looks
and acts like the paddles in a gigantic
hour glass. 1t is, however, we learn
later, a machine that tkeeps the tele-
scope turning exactly with the mo-
ton of the earth, so that the object
we shall pick up will not move out of
focus. The movement, however, is SO
slow that it is undiscernible.
In the meantime Prof. Hall has been
busy at the eyepiece of the telescope.
Suddenly he turns to us, smiles and
remarks: I'm bet it will be colder

the bleak shores of the Moon. For a
second or two the observer is daZZled
by something that seems to wave
dizzily before his eyes, resembling the
waves of heat that rise from the
radiator or overheated motor. 1t is
the atmosphere. The telescope is so
powerful that it magnifies the atmos-
phere to u point where it can be
seen.
AS the eyes become accustomed to
this, the wonders of that faroff planet
are spread before our gaze. How diff
ferent it is from the same old Moon
we see with the naked eye. Gone
are the smooth surfaces and clean-cut
outlines. Instead, we see q face cut
by deep valleys and pocked with the

which reach heights greater than

MY Neighbor Says.

If you wish to have mealy po-
tatoes, boil them in the usual
way, and when cooked remove
at once from the pot. Place on
dish which has previously
been heated and covered with a
cloth (old napkin) crumpled up,
then cover the potatoes with
another cloth. Even waxy or
wet potatoes steamed i'm this
manner viii become mealy and
will keep in perfect condition
for hours.
Jelly that will not jell may be
used in Sweetening apple sauce
and pies, thus imparting an un-
usual flavor.
When making apple pies in a
hurry, chop the apples fine.
They will bake more quickly.
A large egg beaten is very
helpful in making soap. 1t takes
just about half the time re-
quired for stirring.
Use turpentine for washing
sinks which have become dull
and dirty.

didn't glide, for those big wings were

they carried him so quickly that it

watched him drop out of sight just

later he reappeared and in his great
claws hung rat. Yes. sir, it was

Whitley, and there while they watched

There said Farmer Brown.
What did l tell you? That Owl is
welcome TO stay here just as long

that Jimmy and his family will keep
