ANCIENT GlUTTONS,
The Extravaganza OF the Roman Emperor
and Their Nobility.

The Extravaganza OF the Roman Emperors
and Their Nobility.
The history of the Caesars. with some
exceptions, is the narrative of a contin-
ual orgie. Take the notorious group at
random-Commodus, Calgula. Tibe-
rius, Verus, Vitelus, Nero, Heliogaba-
lus, Domitian. These men spent their
lives in a round Of monstrous debauch-
cries. The day and night, we are as
sured, were not long enough for their
reyels. Verus, the first to increase the
number of guests from nine to twelve,
prolonged his supper throughout the
night. Nero sat at table from midday
to midnight. Tiberius spent two days
and night at the festive board. They
had huge appetites- only the gigan-
tic Maximilian, who devoured forty
pounds of flesh meat and drank five
gallons of wine at meal, but finical
dandies like Commodus, who alto
even in the bath; Vitellius,
who ceased eating only when he
slept: Domitian, who late out of his
hand to stay his stomach in the inter-
walls of regular repasts. Heiogabalus
was perhaps the most elaborate, Vitel-
Illus the most extravagant, in his daily
fare. The latter squandered in seven
months $1,000, 900, chiefly on bis table.
The total staggers belief, but let us ex-
anime the figures on the other side.
The Roman empire is reported to have
paid f65 or so for a mullet; a brace of
pigeons cost Il 12s. At an entertain-
ment given to Vitellius by his brother
two thousand of the rarest fish and
seven thousand of the rarest birds were
served up. One individual spent the
sum of $4,000 on a single dish made Of
the tongues of the choicest singing
birds. The Roman bon Uiuant, sup
ing on the brains of peacocks and
pheasants, the tongues of nightingales
and the roes of the most delicate fishes,
swallowed thousands of pounds at
meal; and we need only multiply the
individual expense by the number
OF the guests to form a
notion of the cost of high.
class dinner in the days of the Caesars.
A supper in the Apollo meant one or
two thousand pounds thrown to the
purveyors. But the Emperors were
certainly the most reckless in the prof
ligacies of the table. Seneca and Taci-
tus are among the authorities who tell
us that Heliogabalus spent 100000 on
one supper; that Nero, master of 1.-The
House of Gold ate dish which cost
over ESQ, 900, and drank Jumper still
more precious. 1t is asserted further
that the Emperor Verus treated twelve
friends to feast which cost f46,000.
and Seneca is responsible for the state
ment that Caligula spent fS0,0O0 on
supper. The magnifcence of the EN-
perors was initiated. if not equaled, by
citizens like the Apicii; like Esop, the
actor. and his son Clonius; like Vedius
Polio, who fattsaed his lampreys on
the flesh Of muloered rlaves.-Nsy<,

A NOVEL CONTEST.
The Button-B Bursting Performance wit
aessed by Quaker City Knights.

Philadelphia kecord.l
Seven fat cherry pies, each nearly foot
In diameter, rested In as many plates in a
row on a high, narrow table in Quaker City
Hall, Broad and Columbia avenues, On
Thursday night. Nearly three hundred
members Of Apollo Senate, Knights of
Sparta, sat watching the pies curiously.
The Senate, which had just held its quar-
terly meeting. had gotten through with its
business and the Senators were awaiting
the announcement of the committee on
amusements, of which Mr.. W. j. McWaters
was chairman. The pies did not suggest
TO them what sort of an entertainment had
been prepared, but when seven hungry
looking newsboys filed into the room and
began also to eye the juicy pastry it was
evident hat was about to happen. IL was
tc be a pie-eatng match, and the boy vino,
without the aid of knife, fork or fingers
devoured his pie, was to receive one dollar
in cash in addition to the fifty cents he
had beel paid TO enter the contest.
The seven pies had been made to order,
and were fairly bursting with their rich
and ruby contents. Mr.. McWaters tied
each boys hands firmly behind his back,
and then stated the conditions Of the
match, which were to be eaten from the
plates, each boy 10 Ego as you please"
but without in any way assisting each
other. II the plate fell upon the floor, and
the pie did not tumble out Of il, the con-
testant could get down on all fours and
continue in the list. At signal seven
heads were ducked into the seven plates,
and such devouring of cherry pie COM
menced as was never witnessed before in
the neighborhood. When the line of faces
were turned up after the first attack to
masticate the enormous mouthfuls the
spectators exploded into roar of laugh
ter. Blood-red noses and chins, and
mouths with patches of pie-crust
sticking all over them, made
such a grotosqus sight that one Of the
members OF the Senate burst his buttons
Off One of tho contestants had pulled his
plate off on the floor and was on his knees,
biting away in most furious manner
The contest lasted five minutes, by which
time James Dougherty, lad of sixteen,
had eaten up every crumb, licked his plate
clean and looked like painted devil in
pantomime. Two Of the boys lost their
pastry on the floor, and the other four
finished in half minute after the cham
pion had called "time." He was presented
with silver dollar made how, said he
would match himself against the town as
a rapid consumer Of pie, and retired with
his defeated companions to a washtub.
The members of the Senate went home to
get the buttons sewed on their clothes.

BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
Not Made by Costly Furniture, But by
the Hearts of the Inmates.

A well kept house with beautiful
adornings, a well prepared table, is
pleasing to the fancy, but these outward
adornings are of little worth unless
there is the warm, inward cheer dwell
ing in the hearts of the inmates. Vain
indeed will be our efforts to make home
beautiful and attractive if we neglect
this most important element of ALTO
beautify ourselves body and soul. A
sweet, loving word and a warm clasp
of the hand are far more to the guest
than the most elaborately embroidered
lambrequins at your windows or the
most exquisite damask on your table
There are bare cabin homes that have
been remembered with pleasure because
of the beautiful, loving presence of the
inmates, while many stately palaces
have left but the impression of an
iceberg on the mind on account of
the cold, chilly atmosphere within.
1t is no use to plant beautiful flowers in
the yard or lawn, or to decorate the
walls of the homo with rich and rare
specimens of fine art, while on our faces
turks the dark, selfish frown. and we
are coarse and unfeeling in our acts
A truly beautiful behavior is a thou
sand times more artistic and refined and
pleasurc-giving than outward adorn-
ings made by painter or artist Many
of our homes, although not lacking in
outward adorning, are dark and cheer
less, because there is no sunshine in the
hearts of the inmates. Let us then
strive to render our homes more attract
i've by bringing into our lives more
sunshine to warm and cheer the sur.
findings, ever remembering that there
are many thirsty souls striving for kind
looks and gentle tones. Then il is
duty we owe to ourselves and to all
around us, to wear a cheerful face, and
let the sunshine of love beam on our
countenance. City and Country.
