There seems to be diversity of opin
ion about one of Cleopatra's breakfasts.
1t was the most costly breakfa that has
ever been served TO il single human
being. | will therefore tel what
know about il. After having partaken
of Cleopatra's necklace, Mark Anthony
determined to devise the costliest break
fast ever given. After several days of
astronomical mcditations, not having
found what he was looking for, he sum-
moned his cook TO his presence, and
told him that if he could get up a dainty
breakfast for lady, which should be
co posed of as few and as small dishes
as possible, and al the same time be most
costly, he would reward him accord
ingly.
Several weeks afterward, the cook en-
tered Mark Anthony's study, and told
him that he was ready TO serve the dain-
~ breakfast asked of him, and that il
was composed of one olive only. At The
appontei hour, the cook entered tie
dining room, followed by 100 men car
rying the olive lin its artificial envelope
on their shoulders They deposited ii
on table made for the occasion, and 81
carvers were set to work on it. After
several hours of hard work, the triumph
ant cook laced the olive before tho
Egyptian Queen, who looked at it with
amazement, still with perfect delight.
The olive had been prepared in the
followi.g way: After having beer
stoned, it was stuffed with u rich Gus
tard, then put inside of boned canary
which was used to stuff an ortolan. The
latter was placed ins de of boned oliolt

The CoclIroach liz bug at large.
He liz one ov the luXuries Ov civiliZa-
ton.
He is easy to domestikate, yielding
gracefully to ordinary kindness, and
never deserving t Oze who show him
proper acts of courtesy.
y, e are led to beleave, upon IL clus eX-
animation ov the outward crust Ov thes e
fashionable insekts, that they are high
ly successful intermarriage between the
brunette pissmire and the "artik as
6euO," or common American grasshop-
per.
at upon the slightest prOvocation, like
the giddy and vagrant fiea, or the fero-
ciOus bed-bugg. and until death Tor some
vile powder, the invenshun Ov man)
knocks at his front door, he and his
bret crs and sisters may be seen with
the naked eye, ever and anon calmly
elm ing the white sugar-bowi or rum
ming footraces between the butter plates.
The cockroach is born on the fust Ov
Ma and the fast ov November semi-an-
nually, and is ready for use in fifteen
days from date.
They are born from an egg, four from
each egg and consequently they are all
ov them twins. There is no such thing
III me annalS ON natuT as siIlEle COCK
roac.i.
The maternal bug don't sett upon the
egg as the COOS, doth, but leaves them
lie around loose, like a pint ov split mus
tard seed, and don t seem tew care darn
VIII thcr tkey &c ripe or not.
But | never knew Il cOckrOach egg fail
tew put in an appearance. They a.e as
sure tew hatch out and run: aa Kanada
thistles, or bad kold.
The cockroach is of two colors, sorrel
and black. They are always on the move
and kan trot, should say, on good
track, and good day, clus to three min
nitts.
T..eir food seems to consist, not so
much in what they travel and, often
finding them dead in my soup at the
boarding house, have cum to the con-
clusion that n cockroach kant swim, but
they kan float.
Naturalists have also declared that
the cockrOach has no double teeth. This
is an important fact, and ought to be liz
traduced into all the primary school
books of Ameri.'a.
But the most interesting feature Of
this remarkable bugg is the lOvelyness
of their natures. They kant bite nor
sting nor scratch, noI even jaw back.
They are so ami Tie that have even
known them to get stuck in the butter
and lay there all day, and not noller for
help, and aktually die at last with o
broken heart.
TO realize the meekness Of these I'M
complaining little fellers, let the philo
sophick mind just for moment COM
pare them to the pesky flea, who lites
upon man in his strength and woman in
her weakness like hot shot, or the
warbling musketo, wild from Nujersey
cat tail marsh, with his dagger In his
mouth, akeing for blood or horror Of
horrors the midnight ted bug, wi o
creeps out Of crack as still and as lean
a shadow, and bitches on to the bosom
of buty like starved lecch.
