powerful upon the young. We have four

them transformed into four stone statues

Marketing in Old Rome.

The sir or madam who in these burn
ing summer days entertains a party of
friends at lunch or dinner, and the ex-
qulsiteness OF the feast vies with the
cost OF the service, naturally supposes
that from this modern vantage ground
they can give points to Heliogabalus or
Apicius. But these older gourmets
made light of sums at which our mod
erns would turn pale. Professor Her.
hermann, in late number of the "Half-
Hour Series," gives a most entertaining
and instructive account of Business
Life in Ancient Rome"
Not only Nero, Verus and Heliogaba-
lus lavished from $24O, 900 to S40O, COO
upon single banquet, but the actor
Esopus paid more than $4,000 for a
single dainty dish to set before a king,
OF singing birds; and Apicius, the prince
OF good livers, after spending $4,000, 900
upon the pleasures OF the table. took
poison because he saw nothing but a
beggarly 100000 left. Citruswood
tables cost $4,000 to $4,000 apiece; /;
and the elder Pliny says that the philo-
sophical stole Seneca had five hundred
OF them at, various prices. A statue by
PraXlteles was worth 800, 900 or $50, 600.
The little book is full of curious in
formation. Who knew that pork and
not beef was the favorite meat of the
Romans, while lamb, mutton and veal
were not in favor? Game, poultry
and fish were very acceptable, but the
old Romans, like the modern Italians,
ate meat sparingly. The professor gives
us price list: Beef, per pound, four
cents; lamb and fresh pork, six cents /;
ham, ten cents; river fish, two cents !;
sea fish, six cents; a pair of quails,
thirty cents; eggs. six cents dozen !;
milk, four cents a quart; salt, sixteen
cents peck; ten to forty apples or
pears, two cents; four pounds large
grapes, two cents; green beans and
shelled peas, two cents a pint; oil, six
to twenty cents, and honey, four TO
twenty cents pint.

SunstrOke.

The cause of sunstroke is, saws the
Practical american, an overheating of
the blood, which usually is the result,
not so much of exposure to the sun as
an insufficient perspiration; many cases
of sunstroke happen among laborers NOT
exposed to the sun. If man, whether
inithe sun or in the shade, is exposed to
temperature of say ninety degrees. and
does not prespire freely, his blood be-
comes overheated, and he is in great
danger OF being attacked by that kind of
prostration which is called sunstroke /;
because perspiration is, as it were, a
safety valve, which carries off super
fiuous heat: in fact, the amount of heat
which, as it were, disappears in the act
OF perspiration, is something startling
when calculated in figures. according to
the theory of latent heat of vapors.
When a man who feels oppressed by
heat does not drink moderately cold
water, but takes recourse to beer or
something worse, he does not promote
perspiration, but checks it; water is
always the very best drink for men
working in hot surroundings; a little
oatmeal mixed in it has become very
popular, and we advise to acidulate Il
slightly, not with the sulphuric or other
mineral acids, as we have seen recon-
mended-such acids check Precipitation,
while vegetable acids promote it. Best
of all is lemon juice. citric or tartaric
acids, and, if these are not obtainable,
vinegar, for want OF better.

A Daring Mexican.

A Mexican, accompanied by his dog,
was on his, way to Tempe to do some
trading, when the dog treed a large Cali
tornia lion. The man was unarmed,
save large butcher knife, but nothing
daunted, and knowing where he could
sell the skin for dollar, he whipped
out his knife and started up the tree
after the specimen of the king of beasts.
Slipping up within reaching distance,
he. coolly plunged the knife into the
animal Just behind the shoulder, which
so startled him that he leaped to the
ground and was instantly bounced by
the dog, when the man hastened from
the tree, sprang upon the beast and
planted home thrust through his heart,
without further damage to himself than
having his hat torn in pieces. The lion
measured about eight feet from the tip
OF the nose to the tip of his tail, and
had ne got one good blow at the man he
would have mashed him into a jelly.
This same Mexican killed one of these
beasts about three months ago that
measured over nine feet from tip to tip,
using no other weapon than a small
pistol and knife, and he came near los.
ing his life in that encounter. Phoenix
