Wright In bis "Domestic Manners of tbe Middle Ages" says: "One of tbe great objects of ostentation In a rich man's bouse was his plate, wblcb at dinner time be brought forth and spread on tbe table In sight of bis guests. Afterward to exhibit tbe plate to more advantage tbe table was made with shelves or steps, on which the dif ferent articles could be arranged In rows, one above another. It was called in French, or Anglo-Norman, a dres eolr, because on It the different articles were dressed or arranged.

The Way Two Englishmen Captured Four Hundred Prisoners. Toward tbe close of tbe peninsular war 400 prisoners were captured by John Colborne, afterward Field Mar shal Lord Seaton. Colborne, who was wounded at Talavera, bad been dis abled for some time, but in 1813 be was In active service again, and when Wellington's army crossed the frontier Into France be performed what was in deed the most amazing feat of bis ca reer. When riding, with no comrade but tbe famous Sir Ilenry Smith, separated from his column, he saw 400 French soldiers passing along a ravine below blm. "The only way was to put a good face on the mntter," be wrote. "So I went up to them, desiring them to sur render. Tbe officer, thinking, of course, tbe column was behind me, surrender ed bis sword, saying theatrically, 'Je vous rends cette epee. qui a blen fait son devoir.' (I surrender this sword, which has done Its duty well.) Tbe 400 followed his example." Sir Ilenry Smith used to declare that be bad never seen such cool presence of mind as Colborne displayed on this occasion. London Spectator.
