from the sea when primitive man new
or used salt IN his food. and IL was
only when nations advanced In civil
cation that salt became an absolute ne
ceSsty.
But IL was NOT alone as food that salt
was valued. Among the ancients salt
spring was regarded as a gift OF the
gods. and it was believed that any salt
found In the soil lent IL peculiar sane
tity and made II place where prayers
were most readily heard. Every meal
that included salt had certain sacred
character. creating bond OF piety and
friendship between host and guest:
hence the expression, There is salt
between u.s." meaning friendship, and

loyal or ungrateful.
In the middle ages. when all classes
and degrees sat at the same board.
they were placed according TO rank,
above or below the great saltcellar,
which always stood I'm the middle and
marked the dividing social line. above
the salt meant "of high degree" Be
low the salt were the yeomanry, serfs
and vassals OF the feudal days. a good
description OF this custom may be
found in "lvanhoe" where Cedric, tho
Saxon. entertains his vassals and
friends

Salt is used by Catholics in baptism.

A Dsris~ Performance THAT HAD n

ver, sinspse Explanation.
Not long ago lion tanner who was
exhibiting in a German circus Ina Hol-
land attracted Immense crowds at ev-
cry performance by doing what seemed
TO be the most daring OF acts I'm the
lions cage. He would climb into the
cage with great pieces or meat and
throw IL TO the roaring beasts. The
moment they had leaped upon Il he
would spring among them and put his
foot on IL. The animals would growl
furiously. and then, just as the specta
tors were all waiting breathlessly, ex-
pecting that the beasts would tear him
TO pieces. they would shrink back.
cowed. After be had repeated this ex-
citing act for many days an English
man made a wager with him for big
sum OF money that he would not dare
TO do IL after the lions had been starved
for three days. The trainer considered
for moment and then accepted the
wager. making only the condition that
he be allowed 10 have three weeks Of
preparation
AT the end OF three weeks the traincr
announced that he was ready. and the
process OF starving the lions began.
The Engiishman kept guards posted
around the cage day and night 10 make
certain that not morsel OF food should
be given 10 the animals. At the cxpira-
ticn OF the three days all Amsterdam
rushed TO the circus. The lions were
maddened with hunger. as any one
could see and hear. for they roarcd
continually. and their attempts 10
break through the bars showed how
angry they had become. In the height
or the uproar the trainer entered tho
cage with an immense piece OF beef in
MS arms. He tossed IL on the floor OF
the cage. raised his whip and 10. not
one lion dared to approach il. The
mighty brutes lay crOuched. roaring
and growing so hard that their great
frames shook and each kept his ter
rifle yellow eyes fixed hungrily on the
meat. But not one Of them stirred.
The trainer stopped. lifted the beef
and tossed it 10 them again. and in 4
moment the lions were i'm 4 great
tawny ball. rcnding and snarling and
tearing. with blood from the manrled
beef squirting all over the cage Tho
Englishman paid his bet and then tried
10 find out how the lion tanner had nc
quircd such wonderful control over his
beasts. At first the man would not
tell. but at last he consented TO OK
plain IL. During the three weeks ne
Rod or preparation hc had always
starved the lions from the very begin
ming. Then. on the fourth dav. he
would enter the cage with a piece OF
beef which had been soaked I'm kero-
sene oil. The lions would no sooner
pounce upon 1t than they would shrink
away. Sickcncd by the stencil. Then
he would throw them a fresh and GOOD
piece OF beef. which they would dcvour
In moment. The lions soon became
50 accustomed To expecting that the FIRST
piece OF beef that WAS thrown to them
was not good that nj the end OF three
days they would not even move from
their corners when the trainer threw il
on the floor OF the cage. They would
not try To eat anything except the sec
ond piece. So the daring trick had "A

All residents OF Richmond OF decade
ago will vouch for the fact that Rich
mond never had more popular or gen

Goddln, who was for years and years
clerk OF the Chancery Court. His name
was household word throughout the
city and was synonym for whole souled
generosity. He was every mans friend
and no one could be found with temcrtS
enough to oppose him for the office. In
the Same Office with Mr.. Goddln, for
twelve years, was his deputy, man OF
kindred spirit and like noble Impulses
Colonel Henry S. Price. Colonel Price Is
now well advanced In years. but still re-
tains those traits Of personal character
which made him an excellent running
mate for his genial chief. The only
troubles which ever bore heavily upon
Colonel Price. or which told upon his
appearance were those Of very im-
perfect sight. and though now the frost
Of many winters cling heavily to him,
his sight Is as the sight Of a man young

If Charles Lincoln Smith had done no
more in Richmond than to bestow the
boon which he has upon this faithful
public servant. the time which he has

Colonel Price was born in Now Jer-

been his home and so great is his love
for the city OF his adoption. TINT few
