Although competent and active, Judge Ernest Gary is to have oppo, sition in 'he election of his successox tt the approaching session of the leg slature. It will be remembered that Judge Gary refused to oppose his predeces sor, Judge Joseph B .Kershaw, in ca-e he desired re-election and it was oni;r after that able and faithful judge had decided that he did not wish to be re-elected that Judge Gary con sented for his name to be mentioned in connection with the 'udgeship. It 1 would be a pleasure to lonow that Judge Gary would be treated with the same distinguished consideration. 1 After the election, Judge Gary commenced his judicial <.areer at 1 Camden, the home of Judge Kershaw, who intrcoduced him to the bar in open court as his friend, and paid a high tr'bute to the~ q.ualifeations fr that exalted office. In after years no doubt Judge Gary would be proud to show the same consideration to his successor. Judge Gary had op position when he was first elected, but he received one hundred votes more than his opponent. Fearless in the administration of 1 justice, courteous to the members of 1 Ithe bar, presiding with dignity, and ever regardful of the convenience and I comfort of jurors and witnesses it would be a matter of regret if the state should be deprived of his servi ces. The promptness wvith which he dispatches the business of the' court saves many dollars to the taxpayers, and his ability is attested by the num erous cases in which his decisionsj have been affirmed by the supreme court. There are many qualin,:ations nec mesr for an eminent and successful' udge, and it is impossible to foretell vith accuracy whether they will man fest themselves, in a judge, until he las stood the test. We know that udge Gary possesses such qualifica ions. He is in the prime of life, of obust constitution, and many friends lope that he may continue to adorn he bench for a long time yet to :ome. OID TIME COOKERY. Ourious Receipts That Were in Use In the Fifteenth Century. An old volume, the "Noble Boolk f Cookery. for a Prynce Houssolde )r eny other Estately Houssolde.' vritten abcut the year 1467, contains nany rare and curious receipts in ise in those days not only for ordi iary dishes, but those to be eaten on 'ast and fish days. It is curious in -eading this cookery book to find hat there are birds, beasts and fishes, he same courses and sometimes the ame names to dishes as in a modern )ne, but, although the names are of en the same, the ingredients and the >reparation are very different. Foi nsta,-ce., their "'blanche mange" was -omposed of lamprey or other fish, tnd their custards contamed fresh .ork minced small. Here is one recipe from t'-e book: 'To make mon amy taVe and boil :ows' cream and when it is boiled set t aside and let it ;oci. Then take :ow curds and press out the whey; hen biuise them in a rortar and cast hem in the pot to the cream and boil ogether. Put thereto ug-ar, honey Lnd may butter, color it up with saff -on and in the setting do.wn put in folks of eggs well beaten and de Lway the strain and let the potage >e standing; thtn arrange it in dishez md. plant therein flowers of violet! Lnd. serve it." Somc of the recipes in this quaint >d book were intended specially for L "lorde's" table. For instance, a )ike was to be served whole to "a orde," but cut in pieces for the "com nonalte" Cabbages were to be hickened with grated bread for ordi iary people, but served with yolks ot ggs for a "lorde." The dishes at his 'time used at table were eithez old or silver for great occasionb nd wooden trenchers and platten or ordinary use. It was not till the me of Queen Elizabeth that plates >f metal and earthernware began to >e generally used instead of wood. A woman considers she would be great success i, business when she inds a dollar left in an old suit of :lothes by her husband. A fat woman makes more fuss bout losing twenty ounces than a :in one does about gaining twenty >ounds. The engines of the first steamer :hat ever crossed the Atlantic have yeen recovered off the coast of Cork Lfter more than 50 years' immersion. There are 190,227 professional beg gars in Spain, of whom 51, 948 are ,vomen. In some of the cities beg gars are licensed to carry on their rade. Seeking alms is recognized ts a legitimate business, and the mui iicipality demands a percentage upotn :he collections. Seville is the only :ity in the kingdom which forbids )egging in the streets.
