BREAKING UP HOUSE.
THAT IS WHAT EARL PERCY'S
MOVING AMOUNTED TO.
Nobleman Of Sixteenth Century Had
Only One Set Of Furniture for
All the Places of Residence
Which He Occupied.

Most Of the Percy estates were so
close together in the north, commerce
was already so far developed, and
the earl himself was so often absent
on business of state, that his house:
hold was generally able to avoid any
more serious displacement than the
periodical migrations from Wressill to
Leckinfield and back, a distance Of
some twenty miles. These fittings,
however, turned everything upside
down for day or two. For the earl,
like smaller men, had only one set
OF movables for all his residences;
and, as surviving documents testify,
he needed far greater train for these
periodical journeys than for the con-
tingent of 523 men at whose head he
served in the French campaign in
1913. Only the heaviest articles were
permanent fixtures; all else must be
transported-beds, chairs, tables,
kitchen utensils, hangings for doors
and walls, and even glass easements
for the windows. This book throws q
vivid light on such phrases as "the
breaking up of my lords house." or
his lordship set up his house again"
Sometimes there was partial
breakup without an actual move;
when my lord kept his secret house."

ants to live on board wages in the
village, and retiring to a corner Of
his own castle for some such ap-
proach to the simple life as his mod
ern descendant might enjoy in High

grations, when they came, followed a
strict routine; each man had his
specified share of horse and vehicle
for himself and his belongings.
A single paragraph will show not
only how carefully everything was or,
gained beforehand, but also (what
may be more unfamiliar to some read
ers) the very primitive sleeping ar
engagements which we're common in
the middle ages. Item, it Is ordained
lat every removal that the dean, SUBJ
dean, priests, gentlemen and children

beds; viz. for 6 priests beds after
2 to a bed; for 10 gentlemen of the
!chapel s beds after to bed. and
for 6 children beds after to bed.
and a bed for the yeoman and groom"
Out of all the officers on these occa-
sions, high and low, six only had a
bed to themselves, and not one Of
the eight migratory priests was
among these privileged few. We find
even the sixth earl addressing his
relative, Thomas Arundel, as bed

about three-quartets Of an hour. Serve
hot. l wonder how many of the sis
tiers have it this way? 1t is very nice,
and my husband never grows tired Of
it cooked this way. Sometimes l cook
cabbage with corned beef, spareribs,
etc., and use what is left over in this
way. 1t is also good. A good way to
use up boiled cabbage is to try out
four or five slices of fat bacon. Re-
move bacon and put cabbage into pan
and brown, draining off some Of the

Mustaches Compulsory.

Mustaches have been made compul-
sorry in the Austrian army, or, rather.
an old ordinance has been revived by
a rescript from the war ministry, it
is said, on the personal wish of EN-
peror Francis Joseph. The original
compulsory mustache order dates
from before 184S, and its author was
General Count Cyulai, the successor
of the famous Radetzky in the war
with the Italian states, who himself
possessed an immense flowing mus
tach and who wahted every man In
the army to grow one, too. The new
order at the same time upholds the
exclusive privilege enjoyed by the
Windischgratz regiment Of dragons:
which distinguished itself in the bat
tie of Kolin, where Frederick the
Great was defeated in 1857, in memory
of which they were allowed to shave.
Since then there has not been a mus
tache in the regiment.
