Early Table Manners.

Strict etiquette was observed at
the table long before forks made an
appearance. The fork came into
common use in the seventeenth cen
fury, but gold and silver ones exist
ed in the thirteenth century. Ed
ward l., for instance, could boast OF
six silver forks and a gold one, and
Piers Gaveston possessed three for
use in eating pears. These, how
ever, were exceptions. The ordinary
individual dining out found only a
trencher, napkin and spoons laid
before him. His knife he brought
with him in case. A new course
meant no clean spoon. There was
bread to hand, and the guest was
expected to use his ingenuity and
clean his spoon as best he might.
Those were the days of the expert
carver in attendance. - London

connects the approaching return to

critical situation in Mexico. and there re
hints Of the possibility OF a special scs-
sion OF congress TO relieve the president

time is ripe for intervention.
Officially the idea is secuted and the
determination Of the govenment TO ad-
here TO It's present policy in regard to
Mexico is reafirmed- Secretary Stmson

from New York, it Is understood, In ad-
vance OF original plans.
While no Instructions bearing on the
point have been given to Captain Hughes

have tacttly approved the measures he
has talscn for the safety of foreigners. az
well as tho injunction laid by him upon
the federal commander OF the Mexican

precedent for this last action OH the part
of CaDLain Hughes
