HOW THEY 1lNED.
Methods Of the English at Table In the
Seventeenth Century.

Z" y
ii The old English had three meals a
day, of which the chief meal was TAX
en- when the work of the day was fn-s
ished. The first meal was at 8, dinner
was about 3 o'clock, and supper was
taken just before bedtime The Nor
mans dined at the old English break
fast time orr little later and supped at
II d. M In Tudor times the higher
classes dined at IL and supped at 5,
but the. merchants seldom took their
meals before - and 6 o'clock.
The chief meals, dinner and supper,
were taken in the hall both by the old
English and the Normans, for the par
lor did not come into use until the
reign Of Elizabeth. Breakfast did not.
become regular meal until quite late.
ly, and DR. Murray in the Oxford Die
tionary gave 1863 as the date Of the
earliest quotation in which the word
occurred. The meal Gid not become
recognized until late in the seventeenth
century, for Pepys habitually took his
draft Of half pint OF Rhenish wine
or dram of strong waters In place OF
morning meal. Dinner was always
the great meal OF the day, and from
the accession of Henry Nv. to the
death of Queen Elizabeth the dinners
were as sumptuous and extrayagant as
any of those now served.
Carving was then fine art Each:
guest brought his own knife and spoon,
for the small fork was not introduced
into England until Thomas Coryate OF.
Odcombe published his "Crudities' IN
1911. Pepys took his spoon and fork
with him to the lord mayors feast IN
1868. The absence of forks led TO
much stress being laid upon the act or
washing the hands both before and
after meals and to the rule that the
left hand alone should be dipped into
the common dish, the right hand being
occupied with the knife. =
The perfect dinner at the best time
Of English cookery consisted Of three
courses, each complete in itself, and
terminated by subtlety or device, the
whole being rounded off with yp0cras,
after which the guests retired into an
other room, where pastry, sweetmeats
and fruit were served with the choicer
| wines. The English We're essentially
| meat eaters, and 1t was not until the
time OF the commonwealth that pud-
ding attained its extraordinary popu-
| larity. Indeed, the first mention OF
pudding in the menus of the Buckfeast
at st. Bartholomew hospital did not
occur until ITO, andi 1712 is an item
of 5 shillings for ice.-London Times. q

A HARDENING PRANK.
The Queer Joke That Eugene Field
. Played on Printer.

- Played on Printer.
When Eugene Field was city editor
of the Kansas City Times he found
great amusement in annoying one OF
the characters employed on the paper.
Ferguson was one Of the ''maleups"
on the paper, and in Wyandotte, where
he resided, just over the line from
Kansas City, he was the leader Of
local temperance society. For over
year Field, on coming down to the pa
per to go to work, would write a per-
sonal concerning Ferguson. Generally
it ran like this: ttMr. John Ferguson,
the we'll known makeup Of the Times
composing room, appeared for work
yesterday evening in his usual beastly
state Of intoxication.' This entertain
ing bit Field would send down in q
bundle of copy, and the others Of the
composing room would set it up and
say nothing. .. -
Poor Ferguson knew that this awful
personal was in their midst and ev-
cry night would go carefully over ev-
cry galley for the purpose Of locating
and killing it. 1t gave him vast trou-
BILE. Every now and then Field would
not write his personal about Ferguson,
and then the bewildered Ferguson was
worse off than ever. AS long as he
could not find it it might still be there
It almost drove the poor man off the
| paper. Now and then it escaped his
| eagle eye and was printed. On such
occasions Ferguson's burdens were be
yond the power of even Christian
spirit to bear. q,

The Australian Natives.

An English author writes of the Aus
traiian natives: Between tribe and
tribe war for purposes Of territorial
aggrandizement is unknown. They
may fight about women or in the blood
feud, for, as nobody is supposed to die
a natural death, every death Is thought
to be caused by hostile magic Fights
are not now resolutely waged, but
merely to draw first blood, as a rule.
and, as there are no conquests, there
are no slaves and very little material
progress. There are no hereditary
chiefs, though among some socially adj
vaneed tribes kind OF magistTacy or a
emoderatorship' Of local groups In the
tribal general assembly is hereditary in
the male line"

Canned PAINTINGS.

Painting under glass may now be
preserved Indefinitely. Had the men OF
old known this the pictures of Apelles
might still live in the first freshness Of
their colors, and the work of Raphael
and Michael Angelo would look today
as 1t looked when it left the painters
hands. The method Of preservation is
simple. The canvas is placed In a
vacuum. It is preserved, like fruit It
is sealed up from all the destructive in
auences of the atmosphere. Since
metal figures in the operation the can
vas might indeed be said to be canned.
There is no reason why paintings kept
in this manner in a vacuum should NOT
endure indefinitely.

the safety Of tie football
Suddenly a column Of sand rose IN
der his feet and he dashed through 1t.
Blinded and choking, he cleared his
eyes, caught his breath and ran on.
A gust Of wind, like breath Of fame,
met him from the east and passed.
Then he realized that the atmosphere
had thickened, as if an Opaque cloud
of heat had enveloped the earth. He
glanced at the sky and saw that it was
strewn with fragmentary clouds, but a
little south and east Of him was the
pillar, unmoving and gilded royalty.
There was storm in the air.
Finally the region began to grow
level, proving the proximity to the sea.
In another moment he came upon the
old sea bed. It was sandy, sedge
grown, with here and there palm,
and tremendously trampled.
Israel had passed this way.
The clash and ring Of meeting metal
fell on his ear. He looked and saw
ahead of him two men fighting with a
third. Three horses with empty sad
dies nervously watched the fray.
The single combatant was soldier
in the uniform of a common fighting
man. One of the. pair was g tall Nu-
bian in striped tunic;; the other was
an Egyptian, short, fat, purple of coun-
tenance-Unas!
With furious exclamation, Kenke-
mes slackened his pace only long
enough to undo the falchion at his side
and rushed to the fight 1t did not mat
ter to him who the soldier was or what
his cause. The fact that he was fight
ing the emissaries Of Har-hat was
sufficient Endorsement of the lone Sol
der, but even as he sprang forward
Unas sank on the sand, moved convui-
sively once or twice, and lay still.
The soldier staggered back from the
second servitor and fell. The Nubian.
. standing over him, swung his heavy
weapon aloft, but kenkenes thrust bis
falchion over the fallen man and
caught the blow as it descended upon
the broad back of the blade
"Set receive your cursed soul!!' the
Nubian snarled. Kenkenes leaped
across the PROSTATE soldier, and sinaul-
taneously tie weapons Went up, de-
sceDded AID clasbed Then followed
g wild and fearful battle.

kenkenes bowed his head and made
no answer. Presently the Israc.ste
spoke to the panic stricken people
nearest to him. In the tone and the
words he used there was world OF
paternaI kindness. composite Of con-
fdence, reinsurance and implied pro-,
lection that should have soothed.
Fear ye not. Stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord, for the Egyp-
tians We have seen this day ye shall sea
again no more forever"
At the words Kenkenes lifted his
head quickly. The Hebrew had an
swered his question. but how enig-
1natically. Was Israel to escape, OK
Har-hat to be destroyed? In eithe
ease the young man wondered concern
Ing himself. Again the eyes Of the
lawgiver returned to him, as If tffa
sight Of the young Egyptian was grate-
full to him.
"Abide with US" he said Saith not
thy faith, Fear not, the. Lord shall
fight for thee?'"
kenkeneS' face wore startled eX~
preston. How had the Israelite divfn-
ed his purpose? Saith not thy faithT
Faith? He confessed faith, but faith
had not spoken that thing to him.
Slowly and little by little 1t began to,
manifest itself to him that he ha3 wa
vered In his trust; that the purpose oft
his visit to Israel had questioned the
fidelity Of his Gods care; that so surely
had be doubted he had defed danger
and fought with death to ask after thea
intent of the Lord; that he had meant to;
perform the duty which the Lord hadss
left undone. The realization came wittas
rush of shame IN the asking he ha6l
betrayed his wavering, and Moses had
tactfully told him Of it. A surge K
color swept over his face.
"Thou hast recalled my trust to me-
my prince" be said in lowered tone.
''Till now knew not that it had failed
me. But remember thou it was my
love for IsraeHoh, and my love for
mine own-that made me fear. For
give me, pray thee"
The lawgiver laid his hand on the
young mans shoulder, but did not an
swer at once. The growing clamor;
about them had reached the acme OF
insistence The nearest people pressed
through the tribal lines and, rushing
forward, began to throw themselves on
their knees, tumbling In circles about
the majestic Hebrew. Others kept
their feet and, with arms and clinched;
hands above their heads, shouted ve-
hemently. Their cries were partly i'm.
Egyptian, partly In their own tongue,
but the cause OF their terror and thes
burden Of their supplications We're the
same The Egyptians were upon thems.
Even the dumb beasts were swept into,
the panic, and the Illuminated beach
shook with sound.

Perhaps it was because kenkenes

He knew by the look On the gray
