Monster Banuuets,

At the wedding feast of Richard,
brother Of Henry Ill, there were no
fewer tIsan 10000 dishes, and scarcely
less imposing must have been the ban
quet given on the occasion of the en-
thronement Of Archbishop Neville in
the fifteenth century, for mention is
made, among other comestibles, Of
5000 dishes of jelly, 1000 hot GUS
tards, 400 swans, 9 wild bulls and 100
pigs. At the noted feasts of the gay
and hospitable Prince Hal favorite
dish was what the "epicurean cooks"
called ''pondorrage." IL was savory

Raw Musk.

Musk In the raw looks a good deal
like axle grease and smells worse. The
popular notion that the musk of COM
merce is obtained from the muskrat
is a mistake. There is obtained a
somewhat similar perfume from the
muskrat, but most of the supply
comes from the musk deer, a crea-
ture that is carefully reared in India
for the sake of the secretion. The
secretion is shipped in the crude state
and is used not only in the manufac-
ture of the liquid perfume sold .as
musk, but also in very small quanti-
ties to give strength and staying pow
er to many perfumes made from the
essential oils of flowers. Curiously
enough, the blossoms of two native
plants have noticeably musky odor.
One Is the small yellow blossom of
creeping vine known as the musk
plant. Its odor is marked and is coun-
terfeited in the commercial perfume
called musk. The other is the blood
root The pure white blossom of that
early spring plant has a distinct
though delicate musky odor A bean
known as the musk bean is a cheap
substitute for animal musk.

Sometimes the law seems unjust
tor the reason that it isn't compre-
hended," said judge. Take the case
of the woman prisoner before Sir Ed
ward Coke. This woman appeared in
court with her hat on. The judge said
sternly:
"A woman may be covered in
church, but not when arraigned in a
court of Justice
ITO this the woman replied:
"'It seems singular that l may wear
my hat in the presence of God. but
not in the presence of man
"And she would appear in her legal
ignorance, to have got the better of
the argument until Sir Edward Coke
retorted:
"'It isn't singular ut all. Man, with
his weak intellect, cannot discover Sc
crets known to God. and therefore in
investigating truth the court must see
all obstacles put aside Accordingly
it is fitting that the prisoners hat be
removed and with it the shadow that
it casts on her face"
