RALEIGH and the pnfafn-

1twas Sir Walter Raleigh who brought
potatoes into Ireland at the same time
he brought the other American prod
uct, tobacco. Sir Walter was busily
engaged in depressing the people about
Cork, so naturally, when he planted
the potato on his estate at Youghai;
near Cork, the people were suspicious
of it despite it's palatableness. Cob
bett cursed the root as being the ruin
OF Ireland, declaring it device of Sax
on ingenuity brought into their midst
to tempt and eventually to weaken
them. Sir Walter ate. quantities of po-
tatoes himself before he could assure
the people of their harmlessness. Now,
with commendable gratitude, the tour
list is shown the very spot in the gar
den where Sir Walter planted the pota-
to root. Close by it is another historic
al bit of ground. There, it is claimed,
Sir Walter rested under the shade of a
tree smoking his first pipe Of tobacco
when his servant deluged him with a
pail Of water under the impression he
was on tire.-What to Eat.

An EARLY Norman Dinner.

-.
The Saxon dinner arrangements were
orderly compared with those of the
early Normans, when the halls and
passages were frequently the scene Of
free fight between the servants bring
ing in the food and the crowds of hang
ers on endeavoring to snatch it from
them. This nuisance became at length
SO intolerable that ushers of the hall
and kitchen were established by King
William Rufus to protect not only the
cooks bringing in the dinner, but the
guests arriving to partake Of 1t. Upon
the occasion of his great feast at West
minister 300 Of these officers were on
duty, some to guard the visitors as
they assembled the steps and others to
defend the threatened dishes.
Such was the uncivilized state of So
ciety at this period, but when later on
the marauders disappeared from the
great houses it became customary to
carry in the dishes in procession, some
times preceded by music and headed
by the steward with his wand Of Office.
It was the duty Of an "asseeur" or
placer to arrange them upon the table;
the ewers and napkins with which to
perform their additions were present
ed to the guests by the esquires and
pages while it fell to the lot of the al
moner to say grace.

4 Pope Related to j. sale...

= Pope Related to q sultan.
We learn from q Swiss writer OF tho
seventeenth century that Pope Alexan-
ger VII, whose pontificate extended
from 1865 to 1867, was related to the
sultan Mohammed Nv. The connection
between these two contemporary SOW
ereigns Is traced to one Of those occur
rences which in the times of Moslem
invasion and predatory aggression Of
ten led to strange blood relationships
between representatives of Christian
end Mohammedan houses.
The story Is told by Wallichius, q
contemporary of Alexander VII. and
Mohammed Nv. Some Turkish corsairs
attacked and pillaged the castle of the
Marsilis in 1926 and carried off Mar
gherita, the daughter of Mani Marsili,
and this fair lady was reserved as q
present for the Sultan Solyman, who
made her one Of his wives. BY this
union she became the mother of Selim
H., ancestor of Mohammed ".
From the same noble family Alexan-
der VII. was lineally descended on the
maternal side. LEONARDO Marsili, broth.
er OF the captive Margherita, had a
son, Cesare, whose daughter, Laura,
married into the Chigi family and be-
came the mother of Fabio Chigi, known
on the roll of pontiffs as Pope Alexan-
der VII.

A Great Fe0at.


There has never been prepared at
any feast bigger bowl of punch than
that which was brewed by the Right
Hon. Edward Russell when he was
captain general and commander in
chief Of the forces in the Mediterra-
mean seas. 1t was made in fountain
in a garden in the middle Of four
walks, all covered overhead with
lemon and orange trees. In every walk
there was table the whole length of
it, and on every table was cold COLA
ton. In the huge fountains We're the
following ingredients: Four hogsheads
Of brandy, eight hogsheads of water,
$4,000 lemons, twenty gallons of lime
juice, 1900 pounds of fine Lisbon
sugar. five pounds Of grated nutmegs.
300 toasted biscuits and pipe of dry
mountain Malaga.
Over the fountain was placed a great
canopy, while in the midst of this lake
Of liquor there sailed little sailor boy
who filled the cups and replenished the
glasses Of all those who had a desire
to drink. More than G.O00 men put in
an appearance at this feast.-London
