Methods of the English at Table In the
Seventeenth Century.
The old English had three meals a
day, of which the chief meal was TAX

was about 3 o'clock, and supper was
taken lust before bedtime. The Nor

classes dined ut II and supped at 5,
but the merchants seldom took their
meals before II and 6 o'clock.

the great meal of the day, and from
the accession of Henry ". to the
death of Queen Elizabeth the dinners
were as sumptuouS and eXtravagant as

Carving was then Il fine art. Each
guest brought his own knife and spoon.

into England until Thomas Coryatc Of
Odcombc published his "Crudtics" In
1911. pcpys 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 ypocras.

MOVING PICTURES
Archie |. Shspard's Exhibition at Library
Hall, Saturday, FEB. q.

1t Is recorded In the word OF facts
that through the silent working OF the
senses, the soul is taught and mostly
impressed by the contemplation OF the
ideal creations OF art. A beautiful
picture, an exquisite reading or q
piece OF sculpture, has often changed
the course OF human lives, often gives
hope to the despairlng, rest TO the
wearied soul and never fails TO uplift
the mind. Great lessons are taught In
the dramatic lenses OF the werdless
images. To appreciate this one should
see that little moving picture play
"Foul Play" that strikes the minor
key OF the heart aud brings harmony
out OF life's discords. This little I'M
spoken plavlet Is one OF The most
touching dramatic subjects ever crea-
ted in the animated reproduction and
is given In conjunction with many 9th.

TREASURY HAS
$1,000 BALANCE
Town has Made Good Show.
ing For Past Year.
sTCONDITIONIN YEARS
Debt Reduced and Money In the
Treasury To Pay the Next
InstaIlment.

Not since Bennington mortgaged 1t.
self 10 build the corkscrew railroad
around the mountain over thirty Years
ago have the town finances been In as
good shape ss they are today, due to
the wise management OF the town board
oil selectmen and the fact that nothing
has arisen during the past few years
calling for extraordinary expenditure.
The fiscal year OF the town closes
Feb. and on that date there was n
balance in the treasury OF over $4,000
and money due from the village and
from taxes In the COLLECTORS hands
that will bring the amount up 10 nearly
or quite $1,000.
During the past year one I've thous.
and dollar note has been paid and the
interest on the town debt, and the sci.
ectmen would have paid the note for
5000 coming due this year but the
Rutland bank which holds the note
would not accept the money until the
note Is due.
All outstanding bills have been paid
except few unimportant ones that
have not been presented, and the town
enters upon the new year with a good
bunch OF money In lie pocket The
present outstanding debt OF the town Is
$4,000. OF this amount slOo, 900 Is
the old railroad debt due In 1917 and
the other elo,0 Is the water damage
debt incurred few years ago. OF this
after sum $4,000 Is due this year and
5000 In zoos.
The showing made by the town last
year was exceptionally good but this
year IL is fully $1,000 better. The saw.
ings this year were In the reduction of
miscellaneous expenses, In the expen.
ses Of the board OF health and In the
