by the blowing Of horns. They used
to sit on benches -banes in French
thence. the word banquet. It was
Henry III who first introduced chairs.
There. were tables ofsilver and gold.
Wooden tables were simply covered
with cloths, folded doubly and home-
spun linen, made in the houses Of the
bourgeoise. They hung away down,
serving as substitutes for napkins. The
fist were made at Rheims, and pro-
scented By the city! to- Charles VII, az
his Coronation. Later they used nap
kins at eonrt made Of velvet, with
their coats az arms on them, and richly
orna,nented by preelous stones. But
those of linen were also used Forks
were unknown up the fourteenth CEN

and knives. A knife was called
E"monls," a fork "nun," because the
husband managed 'thessknife, and the
wife, the fork. Al. banqpets they used.
to sit,in, couples, salwayssman and wife
together, and those who sat beside
each other ate from one plate, and
drank out of one goblet. Wherever in
Germany that fashion did not prevail
there were separate eating rooms for
men and women. There were neither
glass nor porcelain in use in the ele-
ventf century.

were made of wood and tin, and those

more to feed the eye than. for any
practical use--simply to stand on the

interferes with the domestic affairs Of
its subjects, prescribes the number Of
courses for the table and the, expenses
of their meals, the cut and length Of
their clothes. At this time we find
II
the luxury laws of the middle ages
still to prevail, to which, new ones
we're added. Philip the Handsome
forbade any one the use Of golden or
silver vessels who had not an income
of $500, and ordered that at COM

WORK FOR TIE LEGISLATURE.

lie
One of the first acts that should
be passed by our Legislature this
Winter oug.t TO be one aholishing
the Parish of Grant and giving its
territory back TO the Parishes from
which it was taken. The Rapides
liue runs now on the opposite side Of
the river TO the mouth of Cane River
and the Winn Parish line formerly
came to about the same point. All
that it is necessary to do is to sim
ply declare the Parish abolished and
that the territory, with all records
relating thereto, shall be returned TO
Rapides and VIM. There is no
earthly reason why it should not be
done and the fair name of our State
demands that it should be abolished.
The land upon which the county
site is situated is private property,
and is SO tangled up in law that it is
not at all probable that it can be sold
and built for the next ten years.
1t was gotten up for private purpo-
ses, has promoted the interests of
but a few private persons, and it has
