THRAsH!NG SERVANTS.

Domestic Life ir England IN the Time
Of Henry VIII.
In that remarkably minute chronicle
Of domestic life in England in the
time Of Henry Viii, Tusser's Give
Hundred Points Of Good Husbandry," !"
the learned and pious author seems
to take it for granted that the only
way Of dealing with maidservants is
to thrash them numerically.
He tells US in his ininitable doggerel
that "a maid must be forced to be
cleanly" or she is to be made to cry
creak." Mistresses are advised "to go
about with a holly wand in their hand.
although they may not always have
occasion 70 use it. and to pay home
when they fght"-that is to say,
thrash-"but not to be always child
ing" AS regards the laundry, the
domestic serfs are warned to take
heed when they wash or run in the
lash and to wash well, wiring well and
beat well, so that if any lack beat
ing it will be themselves"
AS for the unhappy Cicely, the dairy
maid, she is to cry eak'-that is to
say, to be thrashed-if her cheese IS
shoyen'' OF pufed up, and it the
cheese be tough Cicely is to have "a
crash" If the cheese be spotted
Cicely is to be amended by the bayes,
end if it be too full Of whey the
wretched dairymaid is to have "a
dressing" Finally, if any maggots are
found in. the cheese, mistress is to be
Cicely by and by"

THE SOUP PLATE.

A Seventeenth Century Cookbook
Tells Why 1t Was Invented.
A valet Of Louis XIV. published a
cookbook in 1865 in which he gives as
follows the reason for the invention Of
the hollow sous plate:
The plates of the guests will be hol-
low in order that they may help them
selves to as much soup as they may
want without being obliged to take it
spoonful by spoonful because Of the
disgust they may have for one another
on seeing the spoon go from the mouth
to the tureen.
Guests, it will be seen, used their
own spoons 70 fill their plates, the
large spoon to be used for serving the
soup not being invented till some tine
later.
Yet even a hundred years after the
invention Of the soup plate 1749) a
work on civility advised that all the
dishes should be so placed on the table
that every one could reach them with
his spoon and that if the soup was
served in q dish tureen) every one
should help himself with his own
spoon without seeming to be in hurry.
A work on manners that appeared
just before the French revolution
deemed it best to advise its readers
that it was impolite to pass the spoon
back and forth between the mouth and
the tureen-
