An Expensive Breakfast.

There seems 10 be a diversity OF opin-
ion about one OF Cleopatra's akfasts.
liz was the most costly breakfast that
has ever been served TO q single human

of Cleopatra's necklace. Mark Antony
determined TO devise the costliest break
fast ever giveE. After several days of
gastronomical meditations, not having
found what he was looking for, he sum-
moned the cook 20 his presence, and
told him that If he could get up dainty
breakfast for lady, which should be
composed of as few and as small dishes
as possible. and, at the same time, be
most costly. he would reward hIm ac-
cordingiy.
Several weeks afterward, the cook en-
tered Mark Antony's study, and told
him that he was ready TO serve the dAin-
ty breakfast asked of him. and that it
was composed of one olive only At the
appointed hour, the cook entered the
dining-room. followed by one hundred
men carrying the olive Tin its artificial
envelope) on their shoulders They de-
posted il on a table made for the occa-
sion, and fifty carvers set TO work on il.
After several hours of hard work, the
triumphant cook placed the olive before
the Egyptian Queen, who looked at it
with amazement still with perfect de-
light. -...
The olive had been prepared in the
following way: After having been
stoned il was stuffed with rich cus>
tard then put Inside of a boned canary,
which was used TO stuff an ortolan. The
latter was placed inside a boned oriole.
which was used 10 stuff thrush. which
thrush stuffed boned lark. A boned
snipe was stuffed with the lark and
placed inside of robin. which was used
to stuff a plover. and which latter bird
filed a quail, which was then placed
inside of a pigeon. The pigeon filled a
woodcock. the woodcock a partridge, the
latter a grouse, the grouse a pheasant,
the pheasant a chicken, the chicken n

sheep a calf, the calf an antelope. the
latter pig, the pig deer, the deer a
bear, the bear a heifer, the latter an elk

A radical change has been introduced in the
practice of medicine. Physicians have ceased
to torture and PROSTATE their patients. Instead
of pulling down, they build up; instead of as.

dogmatic members of the profession. The old
creed was that disease was something which
must be expelled by violent artificial means,
irrespective of the wear and tear of the vital
organization in the process. The new creed re.
cognizes the improvement Of the general health
as essential TO the cure of local all ailments:
