 DINNER PARTIES OF OLD
Sitting Above the Salt Was . Dfstin.
 guishing Mark

Many of the favorite dishes of to- day have descended from the middle ages Macaroons have served as des- .sert since the days of Chaucer Grid dle cakes have come down to us from far-away Britons of Wales, while boys have iunohed on gingerbread and girls on pickles and jellies since the time of Edward II. more than 500 years ago.
 During the latter part of the middle ages the most conspicuous object on the table was the salt cells- This was generally of silver, in the form of q ship. It was placed in the cen ter of the table at which the house. hold gathered, my lord and my lady, their family and guests being at one end and their retainers and servants at the other. So one's portion in re- gard to the salt was test of rank, the gentle folks sitting above the sat" and the yeomanry below 1t.
 A thousand years ago, when dinner was ready to be served in the ban- quet hall of one of our Anglo-Saxon forefa CTS. the first thing brought in was the table. Movable trestles were brought, on which were placed boards and all were carried away again at the close of the meal. Upon this was laid the tablecloth.
 rhe food of the early Anglo-Saxons was mainly bread. baked in round, flat cakes Milk butter and cheese uer always eaten. The principal meat was bacon. as the acorn forests, which then covered a large part of England, supported numerous drovcn of swine.
 Each guest was furnished with q spoon. while his knife he always car- ried in his belt. As for forks, who dreamed of them, when nature had given man ten fingers. Roasted meat was served on the spit or rod on which 1t was cooked and the guest cut or tore of piece to suit himself Boiled meat was laid on the cakes If bread, or, later, on thick slices of bread. called "trenchers," from afNor- man word meaning to "cut," as these were to carve the meat on, thus pre- serving the tablecloth from the knife.

 The Danish government recently found it neceesary to grant heads of families thetprivilegess of changing their names if they feel so disposed without mourning any legal costs. This is a necessary piece rf Legislation, for the population of Den mark is, divided olthree great clans the sHansens the Petersens and the Soer- ensens. In one town of 25,0o0 inhabitants over four-ffths bore one or the other of these names Many of these have taken advantage of the new law and. assumed Imore distinctive names. 7, ..'ss s's s.s

Variety of Important Matters
Are Scheduled for This
Evening.
PALACE LIQUOR LICENSE
NATTER TO BE SETTLED
Gravel Pit Question Also May
Come UP for Final Con-
sideratiOn.

A variety OF important matters are
scheduled to come up for consideration
at tonights session OF the city council.
Upon the recommendation of the COM
mttce OF the whole, the council will prob
ably authorize the board of public works
to advertise for bids for the erection of
the proposed new city stables. This ques
ton may cause some discussion. as some
of the members Of the council are OF
the opinion that other improvements are
more necessary than the stables. II is
thought. however, that the majority Of
the councilmen will vote favorably upon
the matter.
The committee Of the whole also will
recommend TO the council tonight that
Immediate steps be taken toward the in
stallation of a police patrol box signal
system In the business district OF the
city and at The two depots. Practically
the entire council Is in sympathy with
this improvement. which will greatly add
to the efficiency OF the police department
The committee of the whole will report
unfavorably on the application OF Gus
Ling for 81 retail liquor license for the
old Salt Palace grounds, where il is pro-
posed to open Il summer resort to be
ganizations of the city are unqualiiedy
against the granting of the license. as
are also residents OF the vicinity of the
salt Palace grounds. The final action
Of the council in the matter Is somewhat
uncertain, however, as while the com
mittec decided TO report unravorably. sew
eral members gave notice that they might
change their vote il assurance was given
that certain Objectionable features were
TO be eliminated and that the resort
would be conducted in strict conformity
with the law.
The gravel pit question may come up
til that time at a special session Of the
council last Thursday night.

POSTMASTER GENERAL
HALTS THE SANTA FE
"MaiI War" with the Missouri Pacific
Railroad Brought to Sudden
Termination.

KANSAS CITY, April 9.-The Email
war; which was being fought by the
Atchison. Topeka Santa Pc railroad
and the Missouri Pacific road for the
contract 10 carry the westbound over
land mail into Kansas City has been
brought 10 an abrupt end by the order
OF the postoffce department. The order.
which requires that the Atchison. To-
peka & Santa Fe fast mail leave the
Union depot here, became effective to-
day.
Last week the Santa Fe train started
from the Grand avenue depot, causing
mail from the east, which was brought
I'm By the Missouri Pacific, to miss con-
nections. as the distance from the Union
depot Is nearly three miles, with but
fifteen minutes to make the transfer.
The order restores the connections here
and gives the west its mail from the
cast about ten hours earlier.
