THE MONASTERY MENU.

What Holy Drethrcu Alto During The ~
trcnth century.
To one familiar charssa { il salts
factory to find that the brethren could
plead not guilty. There was no gor-
mandizing ut St. Swithiu's. The seri-
Gus meals of the day were two dinner
at noon and supper between six and
seven; besides this there was q bowl
of porridge for breakfast. and for any
one who desired it . cup Of ale ind .
bunch Of bread was ready In the re-
fectory at three, when tho after-din-
ner sleep was over. The kitchen bills,
1t must be allowed, are strangely
heavy; two thousand one hundred
pounds for tho years FIRE, exclusive Of
bread, beer and wine, to . modern
mind would call for liberal reductions.
But if the fare was plentiful It certain
ly was in no sense luxurious, even 0t
Christmas or ON the festival of St.
Swithin himself; and upon fast days
there is an equally plain proof in the
daily bills Of fare that dinner and sup
per were each a very sorry business.
Fast days, too, were disagreeably
numerous before the reformation.
There was not only the long season Of
Lent in which to subdue the willful
appetite. but all Advent, and every
Wednesday,, Friday and Saturday
throughout the year. At such seasons
the boards must have been painfully
bare, for the only admissible eatables
were fish, eggs and vegetables, and
upon occasions such small mercies 90
hgs and raisins. Thus on Wednesday,
November IA, 1892, the bill of fare for
the two meals was salt ling, eggs and
an entree Of oysters-
On Saturdays the diet waa rather
more liberal, two or three extra dishes
of fish being added. But happily the
whole year was not made up of fast
days. and for an example of an average
bill of fare we may take that of New
Years day, 1493. Upon that occasion
the brethren had for the two meals
NOBLE IA dish of grated marrow and
bread), beef and mutton, numbles Cthe
tenderer cuts from . haunch Of veni-
sony, steaks as an extra dish, and bread
and beer at discretion, as our neigh
bors say. Sometimes instead of Ihs
MOLE they had brose, or tossts soaked
i'll the dripping Of the roasting meat;
soup often figures as a supper dish;
G:hGalls, or rissoles, tansy pudding,
batter, custards, calves feet, tripe, all
appear among their side-dishes. On
festivals there was no more than the
slightest increase in the character of
the dinner; perhaps q dish Of spicsd
vegetables and an extra entree.-Chi-

..sOUND" AND .'DISHONEST'
MONEY,


Owing to the USE Of much of the
lingo of finance and commerce in dis.
cusslng the silver question, the aver
age person is bewildered by the terms
used by public men in discussing the
money topic and when one is not
wholly at sea his bewllderment is
complete when he reads one of the
circulars seut out by the hired sta
tisticians of Wall street.
1t will. however, be very easy for
ono to understand the exact meaning
Of the terms sound money and
dishonest money" as employed in
public discussion by those whose aim
is to send Mckinley in the White
House by the free use OF both Sound"
and dishonest" money. In 1872
few bankers, capitalists and stock
manipulators who owned nearly two
thirds of the money in the United
States, had conference with men in
similar occupations in Europe, who
owned nearly two thirds of the money
Of the old world, and they reached
the conclusion that they were not rich
enough. Knowing that their hoard Of
money was in gold and the money of
the common people was silver, they
incubated gigantic scheme to
double their wealth without any la
Dor and ut the same time, reduce by
one half, the wealth of the masses of
people who held the silver
They accomplished this in 1873 by
the act OF characterization. In order
to succeed in this plan they had the
assistance Of the European financiers,
who agreed to keepsilver demonetized
in the old world.
They were obliged to give their
promises to their partners in Europe
to pay them many millions year for
IheIr help, and not caring to meet
these obligations themselves, they
pledged the faith of tho United
States government to pay the debt,
and have for years only allowed such
presidents to be elected as would
assist them in carrying out these OBJ
legations.
The agreement on the part OF few
scoundrels on Wall street to pay
millions annually to European bunco
men on Lombard street, is alluded to
by Mckinley as "a sacred trust" and
any attempt on the part Of the Ameri-
can people to put stop to scheme
Of robbery legalized by servants of
the people who beled the trust OF
their empioyers-the voters Of Ameri-
ca who selected them to Office to
protect American interests called
"a reputation Of national honor"
The attempt to legally undo the
wrong Of robbing the people Of so per
cent of the money is called "a scheme
to make dishonest money" while the
gold dollar which, by the manipula-
tons Of these schemes Of finance, IL
doubled, is called Sound money"
The man who wants this combina-
ton of thieves to continue to enjoy
the proceeds Of their spoliations Of
the republic and to continue 20 carry
out the dishonest compact with the
money sharks OF the old world, is
William Mckinley, and the man who
says the robbery of the people must
stop, is William j. Brysn.--Carson

Joseph Cook Oh State Control,

Joseph Cook says: "a commission
OF the Massachusetts, legislature hav
ing favorably reported on the Swedish
Gothenbury system of conducting the
liquor traffic, it seems probable that
this and the South Carolina Dispensary
plan, with the various notifications,
will have to be tried in various States
at great cost of life and treasure before
the people will seriously recognize
what temperance education now puts
within a schoolboy's comprehension,
that it is the alcohol, not the way it is
sold, that harms the drinkers and
makes them harmful to others. The
liquor traffic being the worst foe of
business, of the home, and of political
liberty, the attitude of the state to-
ward it must, in equity, be one of un-
compromising hostility. We believe
South Carolina loses more in the end
in the offence to conscience that comes
from its official liquor-selling than can
be compensated for by any Sights re-
ductions in the amount of liquor sold.
1t is not worth while to help the body
at the cost of the SOUL"

"SUMER is l-CUMEN IN"
Oldest Song III the English Language
Written il 1926.

Written IL 1S2O.
The oldest British song, taking the
word British in its widest acceptatiol,
and thus making it include Cymric and
Gaelic, might. with about equal justice,
be the Cynri. battle song: ''Godonin''
described by Henry Morley as 1.-THE
most important fragment of what may
represent the eldest CyInric literature
or the Gaelic description Of the death
of Oscar at the battle Of Gabhra, which
took place in 2S4 A. d.
Of songs in the English language the
oldest is ''Beowolf," a legendary heroic
song originally brought to this country
by the Angles and handed down from
generation to generation as the Ian
guage developed.
The oldest song in the language that
has come down to us with it's musical
setting is ''canon" Or ''round" called
Summer Is I-cumcn In" arranged
with considerable skill for six voices.
The MS. is in the Harleian library, and
the best authorities ascribe it to the
authorship of John of Fonsete, monk
of Reading abbey, who is supposed to
have written it about the year 1926.
Here is the first verse of it:

"Your worlds fair souvenir half dol
lar reminds me of singular incident"
said Ralph c. Watson, of London, in the
hearing of ST. Louis Globe

queens jubilee all England was
flooded with jubilee coins. The
largest denomination was five pound
sterling gold piece, and from that down
to a farthing. After the jubilee ali
those special coins that found their way
back to the Bank of England were taken
out of circulation, and before it was
generally known that this was being
done ninety per cent. OF the coins, L
fancy, had found their way into the
NAV of the old lady of Threadneedle
street.

farthing. They lay idle in a box in
my dressing-case for nearly four years.
I thought nothing of them until one
day last summer, having business in
Glasgow, I went there. Here the jubi-
lee coins were great rarity, and l
found that my collection. which
amounted to seven pounds, five shil-

would bring something like twelve
pounds.
