sALT CELLAR OF LONG AGO.
Was Distinctive Mark Of Caste In the
Middle Ages.

"This Is medieval salt cellar" said
the antiquary. 1t is huge, 1t Is shaped
like castle, it is solid silver and the
price-but what Is the use telling the
price to you? Very magnificent, ehf
In the middle age. you know, the sails
cellar was the principal table ornae
ment. Guests sat above or below the
salt as they were prominent or the
reverse. Where do you think you'd
have sat. eh? Queer table manners
they had in those days. The fastidious
had individual knives, forks and
spoons, but the common people ate
with their fingers. You helped your.
self from the general dish with your
own spoon If you had one. but II you
were very, very fastidious you licked
the spoon clean first. The food was
queer-rich, rank food-swans, heronS,
porpoises, garlic, verjuice, saffron.
There was mead and wine in floods
and ushers stood about whose duty
1t was to lead to convenient coucheS
such guests as had dined too well.
These ushers, being overworked. wero
continually striking for more pay. Tho
hours we're queer, too. Breakfast
dawn; dinner. ten o'clock: supper. four
o'clock in the afternoon" E
