Famous Spcndhrifts of Ancicat Time

Pasha Loring says in the Manhattan
Wagazine: Proligals have been con-
fined to no land or age AS long as
the wealth of the world continues to be
unequally distributed, so long, proba-
bly,, shall we have spendthrifts. Old
Adam Smith tells that the "necessaries
of life include only those commodities
that are Indispensable to our healthful
support, and those things the lack of
which, among creditable people of even
the lower class, is rendered indecent
by the custom of the community. All
other things he declares to be luyuries
If such Il definition as that were ac-
cepted most of us could easily be con-
victed of needless extravaganza. A
glance at the careers of a few of the
monumental prodigals of the world
will be found to be of interest.
A history of the spendthrifts of
ancient Rome would fill a volume of

lius and Caligula all squandered vast
sums on the most trilling objects.
Apicius spent 100000 on his palate,
cast up his accounts, and discovering
that he had only 100000 left, imme-
diately hanged himself to avoid the
privations of threatening poverty.
Elagabalus regaled the attendants of
his palace on the brains of pheasants,
the tongues of thrushe5, and the eggs
of partridges. AT his own meals the
peas were sprinkled with grains of gold,
pearls were scattered in dishes Of rice,
and the costliest amber was used to
render palatable n dish of beans.
Crassus made great banquet for the
populace during his candidacy for the
office of Consul, at which ten thousand
tables were heapel with luxuries.
Even this was surpassed by Caesar, who,
at the funeral feast on the occasion of
his daughters death, spread twenty
two thousand tables, accommodating
three guests at each. Tiherius, like
Cleopatra, gulped down precious stones

unoer her wonderful parasol; such q

II believe she is as old as tho hills"
reflected Herbert; "but she is marvell-
ously made up, and very funny. What
catastrophe if she should live at the
Clairville"
He arrived at the hotel-a fine
house, standing in pretty grounds, and
tenanted principally by people who
lived on pension; people who seemed
to have no homes of their own any
where; who were exceedingly sociable
and very merry. On the broad terrace
a number of people were talking and
laughing; the hour Of afternoon tea
had brought them to the house. In
the midst of a small crowd of gentle
men stood the little lady; evidently she
was favorite. Herbert quickly
passed the group, looking the other
way the while. lie entered the hall,
and, finding waiter, asked for the
Princess Droguca. lie was shown in.
to small drawing room.
Two minutes later the little lady
came in and looked at him with some
surprise. "You have asked for me?"
she said; "you know my name"
The awful truth flashed upon him.
For one wild moment he thought Of
sinking his identity-of escaping with
out telling her who he was. But he
had not time to think it out-.he was
confused, stammered something-and
then, in despair, handed her his
mothers note. She opened it deliber-
ately, read it at a glance, and threw it
carclessly on table. lie fancied his
doom was sealed; took up his hat and
prepared to 60 But he felt he owed
it to himself to apologize; he did 50,

She interrupted him with her slight
shrill voice, looking straight at him
with those plaintive blue eyes, which
were so full of candid hunger for ad-
miration.
"What are you apologizing ST. much
for?" she said. at is the first COM
pliment your family has ever paid me!
Come into the other room; ! must

She put her hand on his arm and lea
him away. For the first time in his
life Herbert was at a loss what to say
or what to do. But at last he succeed
ed in taking her cue; it seemed funny
to iiirt with ones aunt, but he did it.
And she paid his debts. Probably

The custom of carrying lunch reti-
cules, money purses, and travelling bags
of leather has made an increased de-
mand for the leather from rare animals,
or for leather Of attractive appearance.
AS the natural supply of alligator and
the great python or boa skins is not
sufficient to keep up with the demand,
these skins-or the feathers from them
are initiated very largely by using the
leather of commoner and cheaper skins.
Even seal leather, goat leather, and kid
leather, or morocco, are initiated. The
surface of alligator leather consists of
almost exact rectangles or squares
separated by deep furrows, the squares
gradually diminishing in size as they
recede from the center of the skin. The
boa leather is in diamond shaped patches
es forming fine network, and is very
elegant, the division lines being very
fine. Sealskin leather is diapered or
arabesque pattern of irregular divis-
ions raised and depressed. Goat
leather is crossed in regular lines at
acute angles, forming minute elongated
diamonds.
AS some of these feathers are too
costly to be furnished at low prices, the
million who desire the best, but cannot
always afford the cost, are supplied by
fair limitations, which are not as durable
as the genuine, serving in part the pur-
poses of the costly feathers. These
limitations are made by the aid of pho
Biography. A genuine seal, alligator, boa
or other costly skin is photographed
then printed on sensitive gelatine, the
parts not acted upon By light dissolved
out in water, and cast or an electro
type plate then made in copper or type
metal, as practiced in the reproduction
of engravings, and then the metal plate
and the smooth leather of some domes-
tic animal are passed between rollers
under pressure, and the figure on the
plate is permanently fixed on the
leather by great pressure. Any of
these feathers may be stained, co!ored
or dyed TO any tint desired; but plain
black or the color left by the tanning is
generally preferred.

A CITY of PIG, onS.

One of the curious features of rustic
scenery in most parts Of Egypt is the
multitude of pigeon houses attached
to almost every village and to the
suburbs of the towns, the agricultur-
lists being led to cherish the breeding
of these familiar birls, in great num-
ber, for the production of a most valu.
able manure, which is nlmost identical
with guano. Pyramids or cones of
dried mud, surmountel by Lomes
pierced with number of deep cavi-
ties like the cells of 4 beehive, are
built for their special accommodation;
and they are permitted freely to pick
up their food in the neighboring fields
Of grain. Just outside the walls of

George w. Cable, the New Orleans
novelist, can make a good Sunday
school address as well as write clever
stories and crack April,fool jokes, says
the Troy Times. Accompanied by Ros.
well Smith of the Century magazine,
he spent a Sunday with friends in Mon
son, attended the Congregational
church and was invited to talk to the
Sunday school in the afternoon. Mr..
Cables fondness for children is pro-
verbal, and he accepted. In the course
of his remarks he raised his hand, ey
panded the digits and said Il have 81
many children at home. How many
is that?' "Five," piped up a young
ster promptly. And half of them are
girls" continued the speaker, stagger-
ing his audience with his apparently
reckless disregard of truth. "How
much is half of five?" asked Mr.. Ca
bic. Two and half" reproachfully
replied little miss in the front pew.
"Yes,' said the enovclist with a benig
nant smile as he saw that his reputa-
tion for yeracity was fast slipping
away, "two and half of them are
girls and the other two and a half too
five girls" oh gasped the little
miss with look of relief, and then a
ripple of laughter bubbled up from the
corner where the "birds-nest" class sat
loated over the backs of the pews,
climbed into the gallery and died away
in the organ loft.

The anecdotes which have been
going the rounds of the press about
Greeley's wonderful powers Of diges-
tion, recall one of Parton's stories
Greeley was much interested in the log
cabin campaign, and during it could
think and talk of nothing else Ono
night he was invited out to tea. The
hour came. All were present, but
Greeley did not appear. After waiting
a reasonable time the rest of the party
sat down and ate their meal. A half
hour after they had finished in came
Mr. Greeley. He said nothing about
being late, and apparently had forgot
ten all about taking anything to eat
He sat down and at once began to talk
about the campaign. The lady of the
house attempted to ask him if he had
had his tea, but he brushed the
question aside and went on talking
She went out and brought in a large
cake basket, holding perhaps half
peck of doughnuts, rich and greasy,
but not bad to taste, these she handed
Mr.. Greeley, supposing he would take
one or two and pass them. He took
the dish mechanically and placed it in
his lap. He then took doughnut and
munched away uncOnsciously as he
talked. This eaten, he took another,
and so went on eating and talking to
the surprise of all until the half peck
was entirely eaten up. AS he iinished
the last one the lady took away the
dish, and l suppose on the principle
that cheese is good for digestion, she
put plate of this in its place, Mr..
Greeley talking all the time. a moment
later and his hand instinctively sought
the cheese. He took it up block after
block, and before he had finished talk.
ing the plate was empty. 1t was taken
away quietly, and the person who wit,
messed the scene says he does not be.
Greeley was either then or afterwards
aware that he had eaten anything.
