Meals In the Dark Ages.

Few references can be found as to tho
manner in which meal was served and
eaten during the dark ages. AS near as
we can learn, the soup was put in a big
bowl with ears, called 'porringer. "
There was seldom spoon for each per-
SON. Those who had spoons dipped them
into the porringer, and the liquid was
carried directly to each mouth. Those
who were without spoons drank their
soup from the porringer, holding it by
one of the ears, or else borrowed spoon
of their neighbor.
The meats were placed in large YES
sci in the center of the table. Each per-
son present at the meal picked out with
his fingers such bits as he desired. One
or two knives answered for half dozen
guests. Those who were without knife
borrowed from those who had one. AS
rule, the guests at table used their own
knives. There is no evidence that nap
kins were supplied to guests at this Pc
Rod. AT any rate, no mention is made Of
them.

a Curious Fact.

The Popular Science News calls atten-
ton to a most remarkable account Of the
position of certain planets as located in
"Gulliver's Travels - This book, writ
ten somewhere about 1926, contains the
following words: "They spend the
greater part of their lives in observing
the celestial bodies, which they do by
the assistance of glasses far excelling
ours in goodness. They have likewise
discovered two lesser stars, or satellites,
which revolve about Mars, whereof the
the primary planet exactly three of his
diameters and the outermost five. The
former revolvcs in the space of 10 hours,
and the latter in 81 y, SO that the
squares Of their periodical times are very
near i'll the Same proportion with tho
cubes of their distance from tho center
Of Mars"
One hundred and fifty years before it
was known that Mars had satellite,
when the theory that it had one would
have been met with ridicule, or at least
disbelief, the author of this remarkable
book described the exact number of satel-
lites that Mars possessed, told their loca-
ton and unusual speed also peculiar
ity in the relation of the speed to tho
central orb, a popularity based upon no
principles with which astronomers are
familiar. A careful study Ct the state
ments made by many writer's of marked
ability will almost inevitably lead us to
the conclusion that certain imaginative
minds have the gift of prophecy, Or, at
all events, there may be flashes of divi-
nation possibly unsupported by the writ
ers themselves.

The following from Edmund Yates
"Recollections" appeared i'll London
periodical: "Mr. Gladstone 'detests' to-
bacco; Mr.. Matthew Arnold abuses
it; Mr.. Ruskin hates the man who
'pollutes the pure air Of the morning

in his shovel hat. But if we have not a

At his feet was II box of white clay pipes.

the fragments into box prepared for

Moore found that the first seven feet
was soil and clay; next twenty-four feet
limestone; next sixty feet soapstone;
next forty-nine feet white sandstone;
making in all 140 feet. At depth OF
eighty-one feet the water line was
passed; at that depth peculiar sound
as OF rushing water or escaping air was
distinctly heard. The drilling was
stopped on last Tuesday; on Wednes-
day depth Of sixty feet of water was
measured On Sunday Mr., Moore made
the discovery that the water was high

left to stand he finds heavy sheet OF
an oily substance covering the surface
of the water. Hir stock will not drink

the extent and quality it is as yet to be

Out Of the deaths of the many who
have succumbed to smallpox at Mil
waukee in the last few weeks comes
life, or at least promise of it, to thOus-
ands who otherwise must have died
from an attack Of the dread disease.
DIR. Macmillan Herzog, of Chicago.
went to Milwaukee to make study of
the malady in the hospital there, and
now claims to have discovered the
cause Of vaccinia and of smallpox.
The cause is not Il bacillus, but a still
more primitive form of animal life
called an amoeba, which lives as a para
site on the bacillus or bacterion Fur
thermOre. he says the micrObe of vac
cinia Is the attenuated form of the mi
crobe of smallpox, and If it be intro,
duced into the blood it so strengthens
certain elements of tho vital fluid that
later they can get away easily with the
non-attenuated vicious form. Dr. Her
ZOg is not the first to suppose that the
virus Of smallpox is a parasite on the
bacteria to which the disease Is usual
ly credited, but he goes beyond all
others in announcing himself to have
discovered that 'all diseases are due to
amOebOid bodies in the blood. and not
to bacilli." For instance, he says tn
berculosis is not due to KOchs bacillus.
but to a little amoeba, heretofore called
SpOre, living on the bacillus. He says
ii Is first necessary to get Il perfect cul-
ture from the disease to be experiment.
cd with in order to secure the poisonous
parts for the incubation of chosen ami
mails which will furnish the counter
acting effects. In order to make per-
feet culture the germs must be fed and
fattened, and he has succeeded in de-
veloping culture medium superior to
that used by DR. Koch. He makes the
astounding statement that many of the
vaccine points used in Milwaukee are
aduIterated, being impregnated with
crotOu oil instead of containing lymph
from the cow, for which reason people
vaccinated short time ago have fallen
victims to the disease. He rightly char,
acterizes as infamous brutes the men
who make this substitution and thus be-
come ''murderers for less than Ave
cents per human life"

The consumption of mutton has large

an excellent field for the farmer to

The Germantown Telegraph says that
if a cheese factory Is located in Il good
dairy district and farmers persist in
sending only inferior milk to it the clos
ing of that factory is only Il question of
time
If the cider does not turn to vinegar
it is due to the lack of air (oxygen) and
it should be poured out into tubs and
few days again poured into the barrel.
Any method of admitting oxygen to the
cider will answer.
A damp rOosting place is an abomina-
ton, and yet fowls prefer wet rOost
free from lice to Il dry one covered
with vermin which sap their blood and
strength. This will explain why some
peoples chickens prefer to roost on

The genius Of the great conqueror, and
the wonderful impulse the revolution
mad given to his soldiery made him
master of continental Europe, but he
could not hold it. Wherever upon the
sea there was strategic point in his

The young man who intends TO sue
coed must do moro work than he Is
employed to do, and he must do 1t diff
erently than it has been done, and the
difference must be an improvement
over the old method. This means the
young man must think. How many
young men in the country stores are
thinking2-how many appreciate what
thinking Is? They hold their opinions
about politics and religion without be-
ing able to state a clearly defined rea-
son therefor This is not thinking; it
Is merely blind action. There are a
good many bright young men in the
country stores who could develop
themselves wonderfully If they would
study and reason. There should be
more reading done; reading develops
thinking. The late Dr. Poole, Of Chi
cago, said one great thing in life was
to get people to read; what they read
would take care of itself later. This
did not mean that all people If left to
their natural drift would read wisely;
it meant that many people if left to
their natural drift would by reading
be led into u right course Of develop
ment. Clerks in the store should read
more Let the winter evenings be
spent in self cultivation.
