they had completed tho day before

TABLE MANNERS Loro 400.
Many Present Customs May Be Traced to
Fears of Poison.

The fear OF poison. which haunted
the mind OF every person of quality
during the middle ages gave rise to
certain curious customs, and even to
certain sdperstitions Whom dishes
are now served covered it is under
stood that it is merely for the pur-
pose of keeping them warm. This
was not however the principal rea-
son why they were served covered
During the dark ages 1t was tho
lear that poison might be introd lceG
into them surreptitiously between the
kitchen and the table where they wero
to be served to the kings or the lords.
OF even to persons OF inferior rank.
The covers were not removed till
the master OF the house had taken
his place. All dishes afterward
served were brought on the table in
the same manner,
1t was the custom originally. when
the dishes were uncovered for some
of the servants to first partake OF them.
but this custom was afterwa,&l in part
replaced by the servants touching the
food with one OF several objects which
were regarded as infallible preserva'
tives against poison.
These objects were the horn OF the
unicorn. a sGrpents tongue. the fabu-
lous stone found in the head OF the
toad. serpentine. agate and other
stones. The first was consld-
cred the best but MS the unicorn
never existed. its horn was replaced
by that OF the narwhaI. or by shark 5
tooth. which were sold by druggists
instead OF it and under its name.
Many persons kept small piece OF
IL ut the bottom of their drinking
glasses. Unicorn's horn was so rare
ana precious that it was worth more
than ten times its weight in gold.
IL was never proved that the stone
alleged to come from the head OF the
TOAD had that origin. says the New
York Morning journal and the drug
gists who sold it knew that what they
vended was n mineral drug out OF The
earth. bat this did not prevent the
fraud or put an end 10 the supersti-
ton.

DID THE PELICAN COUNT.
The Story Told of a FIsherman's IntelIi-
gent Pet.

The Story Told of "A FIsherman's IntelIi-
gent Pet.
Houzeau de la Hale tells OF a peli-
can living in fsherman's amily at
Santo Domingo that fed upon the re-
fuse of the fish cleaning. Every week
day it would go to the shore looking
for the food which the boats were
sure TO bring In. Now the owner OF
this pet pelican. although rough
fisherman was OF piOus turn of mind
and always observed Sabbath. The
Pelican was not long in learning this
and the fact that he was unwilllngly
made to observe forced fast every
seventh day. Within a very short
time he had such clear idea o. the
regular return OF the day that he
would sit motionless all day on Sun
day on tree near the house without
once attempting to 60 10 the beach
for his do ly allowance of refuse trim
mings Nine. Roger in commenting
on this remarkable exhibition of rea-
soning faculties in "a bird. says:
lit is not necessary to suppose that
the pelican had learned to count the
six days at the end of which time its
masters would not go fishing; but
while it really estimated daily the
time when it must make its excursions
to the beach. it was informed OF the
return OF sunday by what was going
on at the house as for an instance
the fishermen putting on their Sunday
clothes Ia the same way dog knows
when his master is ready 10 start on
n hunt by seeing him with gun and
game bag.
In such instances animals show
that they have the faculty OF asso-
ciating ideas and OF observing con-
Jscutive facts. Thus they show that
they are capable OF establishing cor
relative connections between things.

gence than actual &c uaintance with

What Is sauce for the Goose Is Sauce for

A wife who knew the aversion of
her husband to letter writing said to-
him. as he was about leaving home
for an extended visit to the Dakotas:
Now, John. as neither l nor the

The husband promised. and took
his departure. A few days later his
wife received postal card contain
ing the following message:
DEAR WIFE: | am in New York

Though somewhat disappointed. she
excused the brevity OF the communi-
cation on the ground that her hus-
band was doubtless pressed for time.
Two days later however another
card arrived. bearing the startling
announcement:
Here l am in Chicago. Yours
ever"
Still later came another:
IL am indeed in Dakota at last.

The wife swallowed her disappoint-
ment and. being good at retaliation.

grew little more enthusiastic. She
wrote:
DEAR HUSBANDS: Here we are in
Old Town. repeat it, sir. We are
in Old Town. Maine.

In due time the husband reached
home and fearing perhaps that his
poor wife was afflicted with some sort
OF dementa, fastened to ask the
meaning OF her strange messages.
For answer she slipped into his hand
his own three postal cards "What
