EARLY COOKERY.
A Subject Which Has Always Engaged
the Attention of Mankind.

A Subject Which Has Always Engaged
the Attention of Mankind.
OF old the palate ran riot writes DR..
j. Miner Fothergill in his excellent
work on Dietetics. The Romans were
both epicures and gluttons. The oys-
tiers of Britain were conveyed by re-
lays of runners to the Roman villas.
One epicure cast slave into his fish
pond to improve the flavor Of his lam
preys. The most absurd dishes were
contriyed, up to a pie of nightingales'
tongues Their tastes were not ours.
Fowls were boiled in aniseed water
and served with sauce containing
aniseed, mint, mustard seeds and
asafetida.
Nor were the Middle Ages far differ
emit Charles V. of Germany was a
notorious gourmand. Besides ordinary
meats, he had roasted horse, cats in
jolly, lizard soup, fried frogs, ETC., till
his Chef, when asked for new dish,
could only suggest compete of
watches--in allusion to that monarch s
passion for such time-keepers. Ami
mails were chased because it was found
that the flesh of hunted beasts was
more tender and palatablc than that OF
those killed without such preliminary
preparation. Fowls were thrashed to
death to fit them for the table; while
one writer gave directions show to
roast and eat goose alive" No
cruelty to an animal was too great to
crafty the palate. The amount eaten,
too, was enormous. The Roman had
five meals day; and at great feasts
the stomach, when full to repletion,
was emptied in order that the process
Of filling might berecommenced.
Charles V. was quite as big glutton
as he was an epicure. Alta dinner of
the Knights of the Golden Fleece. AS
cham saw him make his way through
sod beef. roast mutton and baked hare,
after which he fed full well ON capon,
Nor did he forget to drink with it all.
He had his head in the glass five times
las long as any of them and drank no
less at once than quart of Rhine
wine."
Then views as to foods varied in the
widest manner. The English athlete

trained on sweetmeats. The English
farmer feeds his servants on meat in
order that they may be equal to do
hard work.
Cookery books we're written by men
OF learning. Even DIR. johnson, of
dictionary fame. did not think the sub.
iect beneath him. 81 could write
better book Of cookery than has ever
yet been written he boosted. AT
should be book on philosophical
principles" So important did he deem
the subject that be said contempt
ously. "a woman may spin. but she
can not make good book of cookery"
Dr. Kitchener. the author OF .efhe
Cooks Oracle had library Of works
devoted to food and cookery. consist
ing Of no less than two hundred and
1fty volumes. Il can not be said that
the subject has not received consider,
able attention in Hllages, Coed Hogss.

WILD WEST LAW.


We sometimes growl about the way
the modern lawyer attacks and insults
witness on the stand, but there has
really been a great Improvement in the
last twenty years, especially in the
West. In 1855 the writer was Juror
in the case of Adams VS.. Paige. tried in
Kansas. Adams was Boston specu-
lator;SYho was trying to GUST Paige
from eertain lands. The lands clearly
belonged TO Adams. and Paige was
clearly squatter, but the latter re
sisted and the former appealed to
the law. The Judge was a squatter.
and therefore sympathizer, while
Paige was likewise u cousin of his.
When Adams came to take the stand
Paige's lawyer, whose name was Britt,
began:
"Now, Mr.. Adams, you say you
bought this land from a party in Bos-
tonP'
"Yes, sir.n
"And you paid him $780,"

.Have you ever robbed widow
asked the lawyer.
Your Honor, what has all this to do
with the case on trial!" asked Adams
lawyer.
Heaps, your Honor, " replied Britt,
"If we can show that this man is
thief, murderer and land pirate it's our
business to do so. If a wolf in sleeps

court. "The witness must answer the

A gentleman who arrived on the r. & A..
train Tuesday night informed us of an at
tempted suicide near Balcony Falls. The
facts that we gathered are about as fellows:
Mr.. James Wilson, who rents farm
from Mrs. Johns, near Balcony Falls, left
his house last Tuesday, telling his wife that
he was going to feed his sheep. He re-
turned about twelve o'clock with his throat
cut and bleeding in a fearful manner. His
near neighbors were called in and ply
stefan summoned. Mr.. Wilson told them
that while he was at his barn man came
up and attempted to murder him for his
money. His friends went out to the barn,
but failed to find any tracks 9th er than
those of Mr.. Wilson. They saw that he
entered the barn and climbed up in the roof
and cut his throat while in that posi- ton, as
much blood was found there. He til an left
the barn and went to creek. WI en- he
reached the bank he found it frozen s,ver,-
1t seems that he laid down in the sn ow for
while and then made his way home where
he arrived in an almost exhausted copt lition.
His physicians report his condition very
unfavorable. His friends failed to e. nd a
knife or razor on his person or about the
barn. Mr.. Wilson is said to have bes n in
melancholy state of mind for some Ii me.
He was formerly from the northern par { OF
Rockbridge county, and had been MARI led

THE GOLDEN ARGosY, published by FRANK
A. MUNsEY, at 81 Warren Street, New York,
hss just been enlarged to sixteen page jour
maj. 1t claims and we think justly, to be the
most fully and most beautifully illustrated
paper of its class in the world. Eight pages
are largely devoted to illustrations. and these
pictures cover a variety and range of subjects
that appeal to all tastes. The ARGosY is finely
printed on handsome cream tinted paper.
and its contributors include the best known
names of literature for boys and girls.
The tone ofits contents is healthy and pure
and it aims to set high ideal before the youth
OF the country.
THE GOLDEN ARGosY enters its fifth year
with circulation of one hundred thousand
copies weekly, and 1t therefore takes its place
In point of circulation among the half dozen
leading publications of this country, while in
the matter of merit it excels them all. We
ave seen no other journal that gives SO much
ls.r TIE money. THE GOLDEN ARGosY is for
ale by all newsdealers.
