Guard of the State uf Maine will be held
the first of August as many ofthe officers
and soldiers are Commandery Masons. and
will wish to attend the Triennial Conclave
in Boston later in the month. 1t has not

There may oe regimental encampment Is,

Early Dining In Ancient England.

The ordinary hour for dinner in the fif-
teenth century appears to have been 10
o'clock in the forenoon. In the larger ba-
ronial castles a lavish hospitality was prac-
ticed, but even among the lower ranks
says contemporary, the thona fide trav-
eler" could always be sure of welcome
and the best provision that the house af-
forded. To shut the door upon the house
less stranger was an offense which the
church would not readily condone, and it
was remarked Of more than one who had
erred in this respect that luck ever after
ward deserted him. The approach of the
meal was often announced by the blowing
of horns so that wayfarers might hasten
their movements.
Curiously enough, grace was said be-
fore the tables were laid, and the guests
appear to have had their appetites whetted
in a most salutary manner by regarding
the movements of the attendants as they
spread the cloths and brought in salt Gel
lars, drinking vessels and other neces-
saries. To wait on others at table was
considered rather honorable than other
wise, and the story of the Black Prince
attending to the wants of the captive
French monarch contains nothing extraor-
dinary. In the households of the great the
carvers and those who presented the wine
at table were never less than esquires and
often mobiles and barons. ns.-Family Maga-
