Ancient Britons' Sweet Tooth.

Mention of the German custom of
eating compete of wild strawberries
with roast pork reminds us that our
ancestors in England had decidedly
sweeter tooth than we have. In Tudor
times it was the general practice to
pour honey over the meat, and, indeed.
honey or sugar was used in so many
dishes Ito say nothing Of being min
gled with the winel that it is on record
that the teeth Of most people were
black in consequence Most of our an
cestors' dishes would be too rich for us
today, for surely even the most accom-
plished diner out would shrink from
oysters stewed in wine, pigeons stuff
ed with gooseberries. grapes boiled in
butter and mutton stuffed with oysters.

HENRY G. EMERY, chairman OF. the
tariff commission, says in regard to
tariff revision The main work Of in
Vestigating the Industrial effects Of
our tariff had been divided into three
main parts, requiring three sets OF in
yestigators of different types. First
is the collection of facts regarding
each dutiable article, showing the
character and localization of its pro-
duction at home and abroad, statistics
OF output, imports and exports, rates
OF duty reduced to add valorem terms,
and the like; second is the compila-
tion of data regarding costs of produce
tion at the mill {; the third consists Of
obtaining information from the best
experts available regarding home and
foreign prices, local variations in each
industry, and general conditions Of
competition at home and abroad. The
first part of the work, can be pushed
rapidly, but the second, and to some
extent the third, must be ooncen-
trated for the time being on a few
main lines of inquiry and carried out
with caution. The speaker mentioned
the different groups Of investi a ors
ID each field and referred to the fact
that experts on cost accounts would
in few weeks have the actual con-
version costs at the mill of every lead
ing pulp and Ia9er plant in the coun-
try, taken directly from the books,
and would then be ready to take up at
once the next schedule"

THE Secretary of Agriculture plac S
the responsibility for the high cost OF
living squarely on the middlemen,
whose operations as distributors he
finds add approximately 100 per cent.
to the price Of farm products before
they pass into the hands OF the ulti-
mate consumer. Following the Con-
gressional inquiry OF last year into the
high cost of living, Secretary Wilson
caused an investigation to be made
with view to determining how far
the farmer profited from the enhanced
cost to the consumer Of his products,
and, having completed his inquiry. he
now asks, Why do not consumers
buy direct from the farmerS?" TO
show the adyisability of direct trade
between the farmer and the consumer
the Secretary cites the farm price and
the retail price of variety of COM
modities, one of thel most striking of
which is potatoes. He asserts that
city consumers paid, last year from
fifty to seyenty-tive cents bushel,
and often more, for potatoes, while
the farmer sometimes received only
twenty cents, and in many localities
where there was an overproduction as
httle as nine cents bushel. Mr. VIII
son says the method he proposes has
already made considerable Roadway in
Great Britain, where it has proved en-
tirely practicable. A week or so ago
while potatoes were selling In New
York State for thirty cents per bushel,
q local farmer sold his for Sixty cents.

%, It'll" Robert Norris appears be-
fore the board pursuant to citation
and took the oaths of abjuration, and
allegiance to the government as es-
,tablished by the Legislature of the
State.'
Mr.. Norris, it may be remembered,
kept the Dickerson tavern while Capt.
Peter Dickerson, its owner, was alb
sent in the military service of his
country. (from historical minutes of
the Council of Safety.)
Later when Capt. Dickerson re-
turned and had died, his wife, Sarah
A. Dickerson, continued keeping the
Inn"
One of the most important incl
dents that occurred at the Dickerson
tavern was the court-martial of Bene-
dict Arnold. This was one Of the
most important gatherings ever held
in Morristown, if not indeed in Amer
ica., Benedict Arnold was hitherto
one of the bravest and most efficient
officers 1.-The Continental Army.
When evidence of Arnold S treason
was presented Washington, he said
with great feeling, Whom can we
trust now ?''
Mayor-G General Robert Howe, Presi-
dent, Brigadier General Henry Knox,
Brigadier General William Maxwell,
Brigadier General Mordecai Gist and
eight Colonels, formed the court-mar-
tial and before this body Arnold
was summoned for trial on the 23rd
and the was trail resumed on
four subsequent days. Benedict Ar
mold appeared and acted as his own
counsel The court martial, after
hearing all the testimony brought in
their verdict 1t was not favorable to
either side, neither conviction nor ae-
quittal.
This famous tavern was destroyed
by fire in the early years, but was re-
built again and stood for many years
striking evidence, of enterprise as il
was rebuilt again in sixty days from
the stump. Many years have passed,
and many changes have taken place.
And the "old hosiery wherein so
many Important events had occurred
has steadily gone down until now
stands the remodelled building on the
corner OF Water and Spring streetsin
habited by negroes"
1t seems to me that the most inn
portant meeting that was held in this
town and at Dickerson's tavern in
ITS was the initial step taken by the
inhabitants for protecting this coun-
try from British rule, and in forming
and equipping the complains Of soldiers
from which many Of US are descend

parishioners the obtaining of an organ
which would be more worthy OF their
stately and beautiful parish church tnan
the small organ which had formerly done
good service in the chapel, but which
with the growth OF the congregation had
become entirely inadequate. Happily,
however, two or three parishioners dld
not need urging, and one Of them Nolun-
tarily sent the rector Il check for Sl.Vo,
which was quickly followed by another
for $500. Other gifts followed, until j.
year ago the rector and vestry decided
to invite tenders for a ten-thousand-dol-
lar organ, to be paid for in cash.
In the meantime the figures of the debt
had been reversed-S72,J 800 had become
$4,000. A committee was accordingly ap-
pointed which should make all necessary
inquiries, using for the purpose as much
time as they required. The members OF
this committee were Brig. Gen. George
