They Had Their Origin During the Reign
of King Pepin Of France.
So far as the present writer is aware
the earliest mention of "liveries' made
in history was during the reign Of
King Pepin of France. who flourished
about the year $50 A. D., says London
Society. A form Of amusement to
which King Pepin was partial was
what were termed cours plenieres.
These were assemblies at which, upon
the kings invitation, all the lords and
courtiers Of France were expected to
be present. They were held twice each
year-at Christmas and Easter-and
generally lasted for about a week at
each time. Sometimes thcs1 gather
ings took place at the kings palace,
sometimes in the neighborhood of n
Of the larger French cities and some
times in some rural district, while the
festival lasted the king took all his
meals in public, bishops and dukes
alone being privileged to sit at the
royal table. A second table was pro-
vided for abbots, counts and other
leading men, and at both tables there
was shown more profusion than deli
cacy, both in the quality Of the meats
and drinks and the manner in which
they were served. Flutes, hautboys
and other musical instruments were
played before the bearers of each
course as it was removed from the ta-
Dles. When dessert was served, TWEEN
ty heralds, each holding aloft a jew
eled goblet, shouted thrice, "Largesse,
largesse from the most potent of
kings" AS they shouted they scat
tered among the crowds handfuls of
gold and silver coins. Then the trum-
pets were blown, while the better
class OF spectators shouted and the
meaner sort scrambled and often
fought vigorously for the money scat
tered by the heralds. Charles VII. OF
France put a final stop to the cours
plenieres, alleging that the expense at
tendant upon his wars with England
made it impossible for him to continue
them. One of the severest, causes OF
expense, it was explained, arose from
the fact that, beginning with King
Pepin's time, etiquette and custom
alike demanded that the king should
upon these occasions give an entire
suit OF new and gorgeous clothing mo-
only to his W servants and retainers
but also to those of the queen ant

HINTS O SMOKERS.
Never Smoke Before Breakfast or When
the Stomach Is Empty.

Never Smoke Before Breakfast or When
the Stomach Is Empty.
Generalarzt DR.. Sholer publishes in
the C~entralblatt EUR Observation-Disclosures
a collection of Hints for Smokers"
which are founded, as the doctor states,
upon his professional observation for
many years of the mouth, teeth, stom-
ach, lungs, heart and skin of the de-
voice Of tobacco. The first and fore
most rule is never to smoke before
breakfast, nor, as a. rule, when the
stomach is empty; this custom is the
worst possible foe Of digestion. Never
smoke during any eXertion Of great
physical energy, as dancing, running,
cycling, Notwithstanding, or rowing
and especially if in a contest. Never
follow "the bad customs of the French
and the Russians by allowing the
smoke to pass through the nose; never
inhale it through the nose. Keep the
smoke as far as possible from the eyes
and nose; the longer the pipe the bet
ter; the use of a short pipe during
work is to be avoided. A pipe is the
most wholesome form of smoking. a
cigar the next, a cigarette the worst.
Always throw away your cigar as soon
as you have smoked four-fifths of it,
the last end of it is the most hurtful
in cauda venenum, the poison turks in
the tail. All cigarettes are bad, bu,
eastern cigarettes the worst, for they
are almost always compounded with
some degree Of opium. The smoker
ought to rinse out his mouth, not only
before every meal and before going tc
bed at night, but several times during
the day. The best rinse for the smok
er is a glass of water in which a tea.

Combination.

A useful article for use by indulgers
of the tobacco leaf has just been in
vented by a Duluth man.
The invention consists of an ordinary
match case which has Il self-operating
cigar tip clipping mechanism arranged
so that upon the inserting of the' cigar
tip into a receiving hole in the case,
a trigger is sprung and a spring con-
trolled clipping blade released, thereby
clipping off the end of the cigar.
In opening the end cover of the
match case to procure a match the
blade is automatically reset in readi-
ness for another clipping of a cigar
end. !

A Curious Forest.

The most extraordinary forest in
the world is n discovered by DR..
Welwitsch, which occupies a tableland
some six miles broad, at a height OF
800 feet or 400 feet above the sea-. near
the west coast of Africa. The trunks
of the trees of this peculiar forest arc
four feet in diameter, and yet they
only attain a height of n foot, giving
the tree the appearance of a round
table. There are never more than two
leaves, which attain a length of six fee
and a breadth of two feet, the flowers
forming crimson clusters.
