Mr.. Darcy Power, lecturingAat the Lon
don institution on THE Meals of Our An
cestors," said the old EnglisfN had three
meals n day, Of which the chief meal was
taken when the work of the day was fin
ished. The first meal was at Q, dinner
was about 5 O'Clock, and supper was
taken just before bedtime. The Normana
dined at the old English breakfast time.

Tudor times the higher classes dined at II
and supped at g. but the merchants sell
dom took their meals before u and g
o'clock The chief meals, dinner and sup
per, were taken in the hall, both by the
olds English and the Normans, for the
parlor did not come into use until the
reign OF Elizabeth.
Breakfast did not become regular
meal until quite lately, and Or. Murray,
in '"rhe oxford Dictionary" gave 1863 as
which the word occurred. The e'r meal did aid
not become recognized until late in the
seventeenth century, for Pepys habitually
took his draught of half a pint of Rhen-
ish wine or a dram of strong waters in
place OF a morning meal. Dinner was al
ways the great meal of the day, and from
the accession of Henry Nv to the death
OF Queen Elizabeth the dinners were as
sumptuouS and extravagant as any OF
those now served.
Carving was then fine art. Each guest
brought his own knife and SPOON for the
small fork was not introduced into Eng
land until Thomas Coryate of Odcome pub
lished his "Crudities'' in 1911 Pepys took
his spoon and fork with him to the lord
mayors feast in 1858. The absence of forks
led to much stress being laid upon the act
of washing the hands both before and af-
ter meals, and to the rule that the left
hand alone should be dipped into the COM
mon dish, the right hand being occupied
with the knife
The perfect dinner at the best time Of
English cookery consisted of three courses
each complete in itself, and terminated by
a subtlety or device. the whole being round

guests retired into another room, where
pastry, sweetmeats, and, fruit were served
with the cholcer wines. The English were

a. crowd of masked men held up the South
Carolina and Georgia westbound passen-
ger train at Windsor, a small station eigh-
teen miles west of here, tonight at $50

Miss Salley Webb, daughter of wealthy
miller of that place. The outrage was
committed about eight months ago, but
the girl was afraid to tell of her condition
because of the Negroes threats. The fact
that she is soon to become a mother
could no longer be concealed. Major Wade
colored, and a woman named Edna are
implicated in the matter, and will proba-
bly, meet the same fate. The negro was
under the charge of two constables, and
had confessed his crime to them.

A POTATO TERCENTARY.
THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TIE
TuBER WAS Pr ANTEp IN EUROPE.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
The holding Of a potato tercentary
in England next year is now being
agitatcd. As one OF our foreign ex-
changes states: "In 1896 the first
potato was planted in England, in
Holborn, about the time Sir Walter
Raleigh was planting the first Irish
potato at Youghal, near Cork. For
two centuries the potato continued as
Il botanical curiosity. When first
eaten it was Il dclcacy, sometimes
roasted and stepped in sack, or baked
with marrow and spices or preserved
and candied. When Parmentier de-
veloped the plant in France Louis
XVI and Marie Antoinette wore the
flowers as ornaments. Frederick the
Great had to force the POmeranian
farmers to plant potatoes by the fear
of his soldiers. 1t was the famine OF
117l-72 In Germany that first demon
strated the value OF the tubers." The
fact is that it has been only within
the past century that the potato has
risen to It's prominence as an esculcnt
even in Ireland, the land Of the "mur-
phies."
The introduction Of the potato into
England was directly due to Sir Wal
ter Raleigh, whose Virginia cxpcdi-
tion ships brought back some of the
tubers, in 1886: but to the Spaniards
is really to be credited the discovery
and European introduction of the
new article Of food. 1t was undoubt-
kdly through the Spaniards that the
potato was brought to Virginia.
There is no proof that the North
American Indians cultivated the po-
tatO before the date OF the Spanish
conquest. 1t grows wild to-day, as
then, IN Peru. The SpaniardS car
ried the tuber to Spain long before
the Raleigh incident and from Spain
1t vas taken taken to Italy. from
which country 1t was introduced into
landers, In 1888. The date OF the
proposed English tcrcentary will,
therefore, be about ten years too late.
The very name of potato comes from
the Spanish "batata."
But the potato OF late years has
fallen into something OF its early
contempt. The scientists OF the cui.
sine, such as Or. Cyrus Edison and
Mrs. R0rcr, are warning eaters not to
depend too much upon the pototu
nutriment. Leguminous food should
largely supplement- its use. Further
more, overindulgence in potato diet
cOnduceS to dyspepsia; and herein
may be revealed the origin of the pre-
valence Of that distressing complaint
In America. The potatois not Il root
AZ so many arc accustomed to style it:
1t is an underg round stem, swollen by
accumulated starch stored up for fu-
ture use. Its exact place in the diet
AIRY has not yet been settled. 1t is
curious thing to note, too, that to
the same genus )solanum) belongs to-
bacco, which was given to Europe at
about the same time as the potato:
aud the tomato and the eggplant arc
the fcli0w-esculents.

WHY GOLD GOES ABROAD.

The following from the London
Standard Of December q, requires no
comment. 1t is an honest and clear
exposition Of Il truth that Is slowly
forcing itself home on the people Of
this country, and is in line with what
THE Financier" has written many
times:
when the barriers of McKinlcyism
were partially demolished, goods
rushed in from abroad to III up the
empty spaces of the home markets of
the Republic. Our woolen manufac-
lures, in particular benefited by the
change, as the trade and navigation
returns of the United Kingdom very
clearly exhibit. For the eleven months
OF 1895 for which we have the figures,
the United States have taken nearly
six millions sterling worth OF wooden
and worstcd tissues from us, as com
pared with less than million and
hairs worth last year, and not much
more than two and quarter millions
worth the year before. A gap pro-
duced by the long suspense of the tariff
question had to be filled up, and the
enlarged market opened by the re-
duced tariff further increased the
buying TO less extent the same
phenomena were disccrnible else.
where, and the broad general result
was that, at the very time when the
States where finding the markets for
their own productions restricted or
Improbable abroad, they saw foreign
goods pouring in upon them in an
augmenting volume. They, therefore,
had more to pay and less to receive.
and, as they also owed great deal OF
money abroad, their foreign exchange
market became permanently adverse.
Shipments OF gold to Europe were
soon the order Of the day To such an
extent that the government OF Mr.. |
Cleveland has had to intervene three
times within two years, by selling
interest bearing bonds, In order to
replenisll the stock of gold in the
public treasury"
