Meal. the Dark Are..

Few references can be found as tc
the manner In which a meal was served
and eaten during the dark ages. AS
near as we can learn, the soup was put
In big bowl with ears, called ''por.
ringer" There was seldom a spoon
for each person. Those who had spoons
dipped them into the porringer, and the
liquid was carried directly to each
mouth. Those who were without
spoons drank their soup from the por,
ringer, holding it by one of the ears
or else borrowed a spoon of their neigh
Dor. The meats were placed in a large
vessel in the center of the table Each
person present at the meal picked out
with his fingers such bits as he desired.
One or two knives answered for half a
dozen guests. Those who were with
out knives borrowed from those who
had them. As a rule, the guests at
table used their own knives. There is
no evidence that napkins were supplied
to guests at this period At any rate,
no mention is made of them.

LAW
So Says County Solicitor Bryan Of
DuVaI County and He Will

County Solicitor W. ]. Bryan, of
Duval county, announces that. in his
opinion, the street car company in
Jacksonville is not complying with the
Jim Crow" law and he intends to
prosecute the company. The Jackson
vile company has adopted the same
rules for the separation of the races
in the cars as those adopted by the
Pensacola company, and the matter
will therefore be watched with inter

the Jacksonville Metropolis says:
Mr.. Bryan's Reasons.
The reasons given by the solicitor
Tor this action were that the street car
companies were not complying with

the street car companies to furnish

required to separate them "by sepa-
rate cars or fixed divisions, or NOV,
able screens, or other method of ofvi-
sion in the cars of such lines"
