Origin of Table Utensils.

A French writer attempts to trace
table utensils-most of them of re-
cent lntroductlon-to their origin.
The Romans took their meals lying
upon very low couchss, and 1t was
not until about the time of Charlie
magne that a stand was used, around
which guests were seated on cush-
ions, while the table made Its APP
pearance In the middle ages, and
with it came benches with backs.
The Greeks and Romans ate from a
kind Of porringer, vet during a por-
ton Of the middle ages slices of bread
cut round took the place of plates.
The spoon is very ancient, and many
fine specimens are in existence that
were used by the Egyptians in the
seventeenth century B. @. The knife
very old-had not come into
.common use as a table utensil in the
tenth century. The fork was abso-
.lutely unknown to the Greeks and
Romans, appeared only as a curiosity
in the middle ages, and was first used
upon the table by Henry III. Drink
ing cups-in the middle ages, made
from metal, more or less precious
naturally date from the remotest
antiquity. The use Of glasses, from
Venice, began to be general in the
fifteenth century. The salt cellar
appeared at a very early date, and
occupied the place of honor at the
banquets of the Greeks and Romans,

An Did jewish Custom.

At the home of a we'll known Jew
was recently seen a tiny fame burn
ing in a fine goblet. Examination
showed the goblet to be half filled
with water, on the top Of which
floated an inch of pure olive oil. A
miniature float of corks, astene ed on
either side of a metallic ring, rested
upon the oil On the ring was placed
a wax taper, passing through a small
circle Of thin wool, SO that the lower
end Of the thread dipped through the
ring into the olive oil. The upper
end Of the taper was lighted as above
mentioned. The oil drawn through
the wax-covered taper served to k&p
