AIT the FORMAL banquet OF the six
teenth century the man who carved
the. meat was hound with the red tape
Of precedent When carving for dis
tinguished guests he had to remem-
Der that certain parts Of the birds or
meat must be set aside. In carving
for his lord and lady he was expected
to exercise great discretion in the
size of the pieces he sent round. "for
ladies will be soon angry and their
thoughts soon changed. and some lords
are soon pleased and some not, as they
be of complexion" BE was expected
to have the rules both Of the Kitchen
and the peerage at his knife's end.
"A pike, for instance, must be dished
up whole for lord and IN slices for
commoner folk. The rank Of his din
ers, too, determined whether a pig
was to be served up whole, sliced,
plain or with gold leaf or whether
new bread or bread three days OLD
should be eaten.

A Queen elizabeth Joke.

Queen Elizabeth liked her jokes, and.
although her pleasantries were Of a
less sanguinary turn than her fathers,
she must have been even more for
midable than usual when disposed to
be frolicsome. A tale may be found
in one of Lord Essex's letters with
regard to new dress belonging to one
of her maids Of honor. over the pos
session of which the owner had been
rash enough to exhibit some elation.
The young lady, it seems. was several
inches taller than her majesty, hardly
perhaps quite a nice or loyal thing to
be. Having desired that the dress
should be made over to her custody,
the queen, first carefully selecting an
extremely wet day. was pleased to put
It on and trail it for yards behind her
in the mud. the owner Of the hui
inflated garment having to appear as
delighted with the royal fun and con-
descension as the rest OF the lockers.

An American Joke From England.
The typical American, says con-
tributor to the English Illustrated
Magazine. although partial to making
jokes, is often quick tempered and un-
able to recognize joke made by an
other, with results that are sometimes
unpleasant.
Thus, senator was once at fash
ionable dinner party at Washington
when he was asked what fish he would
take.
"Waal." he said. 81 reckon I'll take
plaice."
A wit who CHANGED to be present re-
marked, with a twinkle in his eye,
"Ah, senator, still place seeker?"
"Yaas." answered the senator, at the
same time whipping out revolver
and shooting the wit dead, but what's
that to you. you dern'd stranger?'
Afterward. when the joke was ex-
planned to him, the senator confessed
that he had acted rather hastily, and
to show that he bore no grudge he
went to the funeral of the inopportune
wit.
