HOW THEY DINED.
Mesheds Of the English at Table In the
Seventeenth Century.

Seventeenth Century.
The old English had three meals a
day, Of which the chief meal was tax
en- when the work of the day was fin.
ished. The first meal was at 0, dinner
was about 3 O'Clock, and supper was
taken just before bedtime. The Nor
mans dined at the old English break
fast time or little later and supped at
Z p. m In Tudor times the higher
classes dined at II and supped at 5.
but the merchants seldom took their
meals before 12 and 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 die not come into use until the
reign Of Eliza beth. Breakfast did not
become a regular meal until quite late
", and DR.. Murray in the Oxford Die
tionary gave 14G3 as the date Of the
earliest quotation in which the word
occurred. The meal did not become
recognized until late in the seventeenth
century, for Pepys haoitually took his
draft Of half a pint of Rhenish wine
or a dram Of strong waters in place OF
a morning meal. Dinner was always
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
oDy ne 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" II
1911. Pepys took his spoon and fork
with MIN to the lord mayors feast IN
1868. The absence Of forks led tc
much stress being laid upon the act OF
washing the hands both before ano
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, anc
terminated by a subtlety OR device, the
whole being rounded off with ypocras
after which the guests retired into an
other room, where pastry, sweetmeats
and fruit were served with the choicel
wines. The English were essential!
meat eaters, and it was not until the
time of the commonwealth that pud
ding attained its extraordinary popu
larity. Indeed, the first mention o.
pudding in the menus Of the Buckfeas
at st. Bartholomew hospital did no
occur until ITO, and in 1712 is an lten
of 5 shillings for ice.--London Times.

c---d PAINTINGS,

Painting Under glass may now De
preserved indefinitely. Had the men OF
old known this the pictures OF Apelles
might still live in the first freshness or
their colors. and the work Of Raphael
and Michael Angelo would look today
as it looked when it left the painters
hands. The method of preservation IS
simple. Tie canvas is placed n
vacuum 1t is preserved, like fruit. 1t
IS sealed up from all the destructive IL
fuerc2s q: the atmosphere. Since
metal t:ga:es in the operation the can
r,s might indeed be said to be canned
There is 10 reason why paintings Kept
in this manner in vacuum should not
endure Indefinitely.

MAKING A DICTIONARY.
The Colossal Task of Selecting the
Words to Be Used.

The Colossal Task OF Selecting the
Words to Be Used.
One Of the men who compiled big
dictionary talks as follows about the
way the work was done:
From the largest dictionary of the
language all the words were diligently
copied, and then each Of tie smaller
dictionaries was checked off in turn
against this growing list. When the
dictionaries had been thus exhausted
all the living authors of works that
had an undoubted standard value were
secured to contribute from their works
such words as they had used that were
not found in the general dictionaries.
In addition to this, the services OF
about 500 readers were utilized, among
whom was distributed all the standard
literature from Chaucer to the present
time. These readers were instructed
to report such words as seemed to be
new and not found in the ordinary dc
tionaries and to locate them by page
and line that they might be inspec I'd.
each in it's own context. For this pur-
pose pre- ared blanks were furnished.
Specialists in various trades, arts and
professions were also invited to send
such words belonging to the technique
of their vocabularies as might be IA
miliar to them, but which We're not in
general use, and so had not found their
way into the dictionaries.
It will be seen that the collection Of
a vocabulary on such a plan. though
there were many helpers, was a long
and laborious task, involving a great
amount Of correspondence, which ex-
tended literally all over the world.
Added to this was the nearly appalling
task Of editorial and clerical work,
merely to sift and organize these con-
tributions. 1t is not to be imagined
that words so gathered could or should
be all included. An organized staff Of
editors and philologists was required,
who passed upon the eligibility Of each
word.
The conservative care exercised in
determining the scope and limits Of q
vocabulary can be inferred from the
fact that in one of these Offices, after
"dragnet' had gathered over 100000
words, more than 100000 were finally
rejected. These included words thai
were still too completely foreign to
merit place in an English vocabu
larry, all the FUSED but once" words
considerable slang language and many
technical terms that had good reasons
against them. The fixing Of a date be-
fore which words should be excluded
except on certain conditions, resulted
in throwing out many.
When words have been selected for 9
dictionary, several distinct things mus
be done with them. They must be di
vided into their proper syllables, and
the right syllables must be supplied
with accents. They must be pro
nounced by the use of certain arbitrary
signs used in a respelling Of them t:
indicate the powers Of the letters they
contain. They must be defined in al
the senses in which they have actually
been found used in literature. In thu
case Of a primary form the origin o.
the word in other languages-that is
it's etymology-must be given.-Caicagt

When you see the name Rydale in an
advertisement or on q remedy it is a
sure sign that the remedy advertised is
compounded from the prescription of a
specialist. a specialist in a certain
disease knows more about and is better
fitted to treat that disease than anyone
else, and that is the aeason why the
Rydale remedy never fails to relieve
and so often cure the troubles for which
they are recommended. Rydale's Stom-
ach Tablets, for Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia; Rydale's Liver Tablets for liver
and bowels. Fydale's Tonic, for a sys.
