With the exception of cayenne, the earlier dishes should be mildly seasoned; the entrees may become piquant gradually; the ice or Roman punch refreshes the tissues of the month and throat, which have been heated by the food and some what inflamed or, rather, stimulated; the liquid coolness counteracts those feverish conditions, and prepares the pal ate for the flavor of the roast or broiled game. The accumpanyay salad greatly en hances the intense flavor of the roast, while the condiments und salad oil favor digestion. The dessert sweets tend to regulate the combination of the nutri tive elements in the blood, exercising a chemical action not yet thoroughly un derstood. Black coffee or tea without milk has an ustringent effect, that is, it contracts the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, interfering with the flow of the gastric and intestinal fluids, and thus retarding digestion. When their effect is desirable, the warmth and stimulus derived from either of those beverages can be replaced by drinking a gljss of hot milk and wa ter, swallowed os hot os possible, in large sips, and there is no handicap, with tea or coffee.

Its Origin In Doubt. The other day i casually asked a drug clerk the origin of the many colored lights which are now the universal signs of a drag store. The youth referred me very pleasantly to nn older man in the store, who Anally admitted that ho knew about as little ns bis younger associate. I called in every drug store on upper Broadway and made tho same query. At each place the question seemed to par alyze the younger members of the estab lishment. The older clerks contented themselves with the opinion that it was only to attract attention that various colored lights were represented by jets behind liquid in a glass bottle. 1 ascer tained that there was a great deal of knack in preparing the liquid so ns to give a clear light of whatever color de sired and to stand the test of time with out precipitation. One clerk spitl he thonght that the custom could be traced bock two or three hundred years until it faded into the barber pole that is now the sign of the tonsorini artists throughout the English speaking world. Auother man, who seemed to get a little nearer to it than the rest, said that it originated with the early chemists and alchemists, who desig nated their plnces of business in this way. All of them expressed a desire that when 1 got the information sought I shonld furnish it to those engaged in the drug business.—Interview in New York Herald "■ ' A» iiiiwniu-erww, — A lady—we shall not tell her name- had a most amusing experience with Benjamin P.
