Pomp and Ceremony Attended Meal
 Spread for Good Queen Hess.
 Queen Elixabeth's table was always laid with the greatest solcmnity. The maior-domo entered the banqueting. room with his long white wand ac. conpanied with retainer, bearing the table cloth. Both lfneeled three times reverently before spreading the cloth, after which they again kneeled and re. tired. In like manner the major-domc led in the man who carried the salt cellar, the plates and the bread, when the performance of lSneeling was again enacted. Two ladies of title now cn. tered, one Q matron, the other un- married. These prostratcd themselves and tho young lady rubbed the plates carefully with salt and bread. After that came the yoemen of the guard or "beefeatcrs," each carrying silver dish. These were usually four and twenty to course. A gentleman re- ceived each dish, and after it was placed by him upon the table, lady took out small portion and gave it to the man who had carried it so that he might test whether 1t contained poi son. During all of these observances the ceremonies of lneeling were con tinued, just as if the queen were present, and the trumpcters blew their horns and the lsettle-drums sounded loudly. When at last the queen entered her private room leading out of the hall each dish was carried to her by an unmarried lady, and then placed on the table. Then her majesty entered and made her selection. The most peculiar and; solemn etiquette was observed throughout the entire meal. The first course usually consisted of wheaton flummcry, broth or gruel; the second. fish, embracing lampreys, sturgeon, stock fish, poor John and porpoise; the third, qua1ing buildings, bag pud- dings, black, white and marrow pud' dings; the fourth, veal, beef, mutton. capons, marrow pasties, wild fowls and game, and the fifth sweets, custards. jellies, warden pies, syllabuds, suckets, marchpanes, followed by cheese and tansy cakes.
