Old Time Carving Terms.

In an old number Of magazine is
sued more than a century ago we light
ed upon a list of different terms used
at tables of elegance" in the days
when Queen Charlotte came as the
bride of the young and handsome king.
From this list it would appear that
nothing in the way of game was to be
carved. The correct phrase was to
"cut up" turkey, to rear" goose.
to ''unlace" hare or rabbit, to "wing'
a partridge or a quail, to "allay" a
pheasant, to 'dismember' heron, to
thigh" woodcock, to display" a
crane and to ''lift'' a swan. Beef and
mutton were Carved" of course, and
the sporting men prided themselves by
using appropriate sporting terms when
the spoil of their mornings work made
its final appearance ON the table.-Mod-
ern Society.

In a form of experience which is al
most as common as ordinary dreaming
we see that the semisomnolent self
possesses a faculty not always given
to the waking self. Compared with my
own waking self, for instance, my half
asleep self is almost a personality of
genius. He can create visions that the
waking self can remember but cannot
originate and cannot trace to any MEM
DRY of waking impressions. These ap-
parently trivial things thus point to the
existence of almost wholly submerged
potentialities in mind so everyday,
commonplace and, so to speak, super
fetal as mine.
