Early Table Manners.

From the London Chronicle.
Strict etiquette was observed at the
table long before forks made an appear
ance. The fork came into common use in
the seventeenth century. but gold and
silver ones existed in the thirteenth CEN
fury. Edward |. for instance, could boast
of six silver forks and a gold one, and
Piers Galveston possessed three for use In
eating pears. These. however. were eN-
ceptions. The ordinary individual. dining
out. found only a trencher. napkin and
spoons laid before him. His knife he
brought with him in a case. A new
course meant no clean spoon. There was
bread to hand. and the guest was ex-
pected to use his ingenuity and clean his
spoon as best he might Those were the
DAYS of the expert carver in attendance.

the regions of Walissia and Debre Zir.

should their wishes be disregarded they
will obtain their arms by force.
