HOW THEY DINsD.
Aethods Of the English at Table IN
tho Seventeenth Century.

tho Seventeenth Century.
The old English had three meals
day, Of which the chief meal was
taken when the work Of the day was
finished. The first meal was at .
o'clock, dinner was about 8 O'Clock,
and supper was taken just before
bedtime. The Normans dined at
the old English breakfast time or
little later and supped at p. M.
In Tudor times the higher classes
dined at II and supped at 5 o'clock,
but the merchants seldom took
their meals before IL and 6 o'clock.
The chief meals, dinner and sup
per, were taken in the hall both by
the old English and the Normans,
for the parlor did not come into use
until the reign of Elizabeth. Break
fast did not become q regular meal
until quite lately, and DR.. Murray
in the Oxford Dictionary gave l643
as the date of the earliest quota
ton in which the word occurred.
The meal did not become recog-
nized 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 Hen
ry ". to the death of Queen Eliza
beth the dinners were as sumptuous
and extravagant 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 Coryatc of Odcombe pub
lished 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
of washing the hands both before
ana AFTER meals ana 10 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 hippocras, after which the
guests retired into another room,
where pastry, sweetmeats and fruit
were served with the choicer wines.
The English were essentially meat
eaters, and it was not until the
time of the Commonwealth that
pudding attained its extraordinary
popularity. Indeed the first men
ton of pudding in the menus Of
the buckfeast at st. Bartholomew
hospital did not occur until l710,
and in 1712 is an item Of 5 shillings
for ice.-London Times.

THE TOAD.
It's Eyes and Its Venom and the
Changing of Its Skin.

Changing Of Its Skin.
Moving slowly through the long
grass is a small, rough skinned crea-
turc, almost the color of the earth
that shows at the ROOFS of the
trees" writes a nature observer. at
is toad just emerged, somewhat
tardily, from his winter hiding
place "a hole about as big as him
self and only now awake to ex-
ternal influences. Lethargic and
sleepy though he is, he is quite suf-
fciently alert to know that l am
looking at him and wondering to
see how his skin has lost all its color
from the long absence of the light.
1t is hardly possible to trace any
shade of olive green and dusky yell
low or ashen gray and brown upon
the warty surface of his back. And
sthe darker markings which some
times form irregular bands over the
back and legs are merged into the
general dizziness and dustiness of
the soil which has covered him for
so long. AS rule, toads and frogs
and other alternating animals are
seen in the open as soon as the first
warm days of spring restore their
lowered temperature.
"Some people wonder what
Shakespeare meant by the precious
jewel in its head The brilliant
eyes with their yellow rings, like a
gold setting to the onyx, are as
gems laid upon its head. Wonder
full eyes they are in their range of
vision and able to see meal worms
placed to the rear far quicker than
when some distance ahead. The
venom of the toad, which is an
aerid, milky fluid concealed in the
glands at the back of the head, has
been many times described by nat
uralists as harmless unless it
touches some abrasion of the skin,
when it causes local irritation. But
though not particularly virulent
when swallowed by another animal,
yet injected into a wound it is very
active and causes liberation and all
the symptoms of irritant poisoning.
A dog which has once seized toad
and tasted this bitter fluid and
burnt his tongue will never attack
one again. Snakes will starve rath-
er than swallow a toad.
During the warm weather the
skin is sloughed, and the ponderous
toad shakes off the thin film that
covers him and energies in new
skin, fresh and bright So also do
the frogs change their skins in the
course of the summer, assisting in
the process themselves. The old
cuticle divides down the center of
the back and the two halves grad
ually fold and recede farther and
farther from the center. BY COM
tinued twitching the folds are
brought down the sides, and then
the hinder legs, first one and then
the other, are brought forward I'M
der the arm, which presses down
upon it and thus draws off the old
skin inside out"
