tive Character.

Table manners at the time of Chau.
Ger were described in a lecture by
Kenneth Hare, author and poet, on "a
Holiday in London in the Days of
Chaucer." Etiquette In those days (the
latter half Of the Fourteenth CEN
tury) demanded that meat should be
held between two fingers and thumb
Of the left hand, and no more, If one
was to be received in polite society.
After soup, pike roasted in claret and
favored with strange and varied spices
was eaten. Then followed partridge
roasted with saffron, cloves and GIN
ger. and jam tarts and jelly.
1t was the custom to change the
cloth with the courses, and one read
of one feast in which each new cloth
was scented with a perfume appropri-
ate to the dish. In Chaucer's day the
bath in construction was not unlike
miniature pulpit, and a bouquet of
sweet scented herbs was hung over it
for the stream to draw out their re-
freshing qualities.

The Passover

OIL. Williams in Triton Gazette
The Passover was the great Spring
festival OF the people of the jewish
religion. 1t began on the 18th OF
March and lasted until the 2lst. The
18th of March was the first day Of
the year with the Jews at that time.
1t was celebrated as directed in the
18th chapter of Exodus, where it is
fully explained.
With the birth of the Christian re-
ligion, it seems that similar occasion
was needed The Christian churches
agreed upon having such festival
and calling it Easter The Christians
were divided into two great bodies,
called the Eastern and Western church
es the Eastern being the one of the
Greeks and the Western being the one
now at Rome. These two braiches of
the church could not agree upon the
time Easter or the Spring festival
should be held. The Eastern church
thought that it should be held on the
same days of the Passover The Wes-
tern branch, working slightly in oppo-
sition to the Jews, celebrated on the
Sunday following the Passover, hold
ing that it should be the commemora-
ton of the resurrection of Jesus. In
the year 32S the council of Nicea met
and decided that the Easter festival
should be held on definite Sunday
every year. leaving it to both branches
of the churches TO decide upon which
Sunday. Up to this time, they have
never agreed; the Western church
continuing in opposition to the Jews,
wanted to be sure to- fix the time so
It would never come on the same day
as the Passover. However, the calen-
dar undergoing a continuous change
brought the two together in 1905. and
1925 and in 1903 and will do so again
rext year in 1923, which will be on the
first of April, but the two will not
meet again on the same day until
1881.
1t would be very difficult matter !
TO exnlain just how to tell when East |
er will come. 1t is generally under
stood that the time is fixed bv GER
tain full of the moon. The difficulty
comes from the fact that it is not the
real moon we see that fixes the time,
hui an imaginary moon that is about
three days different from the regular
moon

VALDOSTA-The matter of pro-
viding funds for the proper equipment
of the new high school building and
for paying addiiona teachers that will
be needed, is confronting the Board
of Education. A committee is secur-
ing signatures to petition asking the
council to call a special election to
vote On the matter of raising the need
ed funds by additional taxes. and it
is believed the necessary percentage
of tax payers will sign the petition,
The Valdosta schools are badly crowd
ed and although the new building,
which is nearly completed. will relieve
the congestion, several new teachers
will have to be employed The $l50,OO0
bonds recently voted can be used on
ly for building and maintenance funds
must be provided some other way.
