marriage is curious one. The lady
who is his wife was nearly twelve years
at the chatesu OF which she is now the
chatelaine. STAYING on visit. Herfam-
ily name was De Braga. She was of
French origin, but En- glish nationality.
her father having filled post under the
British Government in the Mauritius.
Nike: de Braga was the perfection of
the French Creole type and very ro-
mantle. She had been in the habit of
listening to accounts of the diplomatic
and material difficulties which Nj. de Les
seps overcame in Egypt. Paris and Lon
don, and of the courage and humanity he
displayed in assisting plague-stricken
Frenchmen when he was Consul at
Alexandria. The relations she heard
impressed her as the narrative of Othel-
los adventures impressed Desdemona.
Mile. de Braga saw in NJ. de Lesseps a
hero of modern times. His courtliness.

Ancient Rome.

THE Romans were keen, business.
like men, who never pretended to be
above trade. even though they were OF
superior rank or wealth. 1t did not
cost much to keep man in the early
centuries, the yearly allowance for a
slave being thirty-seven dollars and a
half, while free laborer lived for FORTY
four dollars year. Corn was the main
stay, fifteen million bushels being con-
sumed annually. and oil and honey
were used in large quantities. Among
the rich, epicures were more common
and more extravagant than in the modem
world. Fortunes were spent on single
banquets. Men were absurdly lavish.
And yet everything was very cheap
even in this extraVagant city. The
market reports show that lamb and fish
were only six cents per pound, beef four
cents, flsh two cents, pair of quail
thirty cents, eggs six cents per dozen,
wheat sixteen cents per peck, four
pounds OF large grapes two cents:
chickens. per pair, thirty cents; i've to
ten heads of lettuce two cents. The
Romans were not very fond of any meat
save pork, and this they consumed
sparingly: Beef was not popular, being
used mostly for sacrifices. Game and fish
were favorite articles, and many choice
imported fish brought large prices. The
common people could not afford many
luxuries, as wages were low. The
yearly pay of a journeyman mechanic
was from ninety-ive dollars to one hum
dred and twenty-five dollars and board.
Food cost forty dollars and clothing
fifteen dollars per year. From the ac-
count of Forbiger it seemf that goods
were very low. A pair U. shoes cost
thirty cents; one pair of woman's gait
ers. thirty cents; one felt hat, one dol
lar; one tunic, sixteen dollars to thirty
Six dollars; one toga, twenty dollars to
twenty-eight dollars. A .;an could get
a shave for two cents. The Romans
spent large amounts on other luxuries
beside those of the table. The imports
OF flowers. perfumes, ointments and
dresses from India in one year amount
ed to two million two hundred thou
sand dollars. In furniture thew had
their decorative art crazes, the citrus
wood tables being favorite articles for
squandering money upon. In Cicero's
Time it was not unusual to spend fifty
thousand dollars for one of these tables,
and Seneca, the stole, who prated of
The virtues of abstinence and the vice of
luxury. owned five hundred of them.

The Worship OF Animals.

In the infancy of mankind almost
every system of mythology included the
worship or veneration of animals. In
one land the deity was a bull, in another
it was serpent. in vet another it was a
bird; and in lands like India and Egypt
almost every known animal was either
an incarnated deity or demon. The
same reasons that caused the animal to
be deitied and worshiped would, in a
short time, surround its worship with
numberless myths and legends, that
would be remembered long after the
occasion that called them into exist
ence had been forgotten. AS an in
stance of this, we need only cite the
return of the Israelites in the desert of
Sinai to the worship of the golden calf
the image of the Apis god of the
Egyptians - they probably being no
more aware that under this eidolon was
represented the sun-god in the zodiacal
sign Taurus than were the mass of the
themselves. Still another
reason why these myths and legends
would remain long after their real
meaning had been forgotten is due to
the metaphoric nature of all early Ian
guages; and this cause would act still
more strongly if the various shades of
meaning of each metaphorical term
were not limited by accurate writing.
Brinton says the Algonquins, who
translated Michabo'' into .sThe Great
dare." lost by false etymology a
great part Of their religion, the true
of the term undoubtedly
being The Spirit of the Light" OF
The Dawn. ."-Dr. W. II. Gardner. an

The English Gamekeeper.

TEE tall and stout yet slightly stoop-
ing form; the velveteen coat, glazed at
the shoulder and sleeve where the gun
rubs; the dog-whistle at his button
hole; his pocket knife, which is q
basket OF tools in itself; his gun, which
ne loves as an old companion. and the
balance and ''hang' of which he is so
accustomed to that he never thinks of
aiming" he simply looks at the OBJ
lect, still or moving, throws the gun up
from the hollow of his arm, and instant
iy pulls the trigger, staying not second
to glance along the barrel" He is per-
fectiy civil to every one; and with a
willing manner toward his master and
his masters guests, he yet has a won
derful knack of getting his own way.
Great on dogs, his opinion is listened to
and taken by everybody, and by this
knowledge many "tips'' are gained.
At the farmhouse he is invited to sit
down and take glass, for his gossip is
welcome. and his favor is always worth
cultivating. he is proud of his occupa.
ton, and delights in the woods and the
fresh air. He thinks the smell of the
earth fine thing. and the hedges and
grass ''as sweet as sugar. after q
shower. If man asks him to take glass |

gentlemen give him ''tips," he is s.much
Obliged" and takes them home to his
''missus." He is not afraid of wet
weather, for he does not regard it; and
great-coat he scouts as thing of
naught. He has likewise his faults.
Toward his undermen, and the laborers
and woodmen who transgress his rules,
he shows hasty temper, and is apt to
use his ground-ash stick rather freely,
without thought of consequences.
When he takes dislike to a man, moth
ing will remove it; his hatred is cordial.
and he is full of preiudices. Conserva-
tive in his way of thinking, the i'm s
pressions of his youth are strong within I
him, and he looks with contempt on 9

he never gets sour of life. The s.tips'' d

CELIA BROWN.

Nelson insisted upon considering this

The tonic effect of Kidney-Wort is pro-

on the blood. Where there is q gravelly
