ANCIENT
The Extravaganza of the Roman Emperors
and Their Nobility.

-
The Extravaganza of tho Roman Emperors,
and Their Nobility.
The history ofthe Caesars, with some
exceptions, is the narrative of a continJ
ual orgie. Take the notorious group at
misunderstanding, Caligula Nbe-
RUS, Verus, Vitelus, Nero, Heliogaba-
lus, Domitian. These men spent their,
lives in a round IF monstrous debauch-
cries. The day and night, we ore as,
sured, were not long enough for their
revels. 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 a night at the festive board. Thew
had huge appetites-not only the gigan-
tic Macmillan, who deyoured forty
pounds of flesh meat and drank five
gallons of wine at a meal, but finicaI
dandies like Commodus, who ats
even in the bath; Vitellius,
who ceased eating only when ho
slept: Domitian, who .'ato out of, his
hand" to stay his stomach in the inter-
walls OF regular repasts. H%eliogabalus
was perhaps the most elaborate, Vitel-
nus the most extravaganza, in his daily
1are. The latter squandered in seven
months $4,000, 900, chiefly on his tablet
The total staggers belief, but let us. OK
anime the figures on the other side.'
The Roman empire is reported to have
PAID Too or so for a mullet; a brace of
pigeons cost FL Us. 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 vivant, SUP
ing on the brains of peacooks and
pneasants, the tongues of nightingalcs
and the roes of the most delicate fishes.
swallowed thousands of pounds at a
meal; n we need only multiply the
individual expense by the number
OF the guests to form a
notion OF the cost of a 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 tho prof.
hgacles OF the table. Seneca and Taci-
tus are among the authorities who tell
us that Heliogabalus spent EGO, 600 ON
n supper; that Nero, master of 'the
House Of Cold" ate a dish which, cost
over ESQ, 900, and drank a Jumper still
o precious. 1t is asserted further
that the Emperor Verus treated twelve
friends to q feast which cost E46, 00O,:
and Seneca is responsible for the state
ment that Caligula spent 100000 on a
supper. The magnificence of the EN-
perors was initiated, if not cqualed, by
citizens like the Apicii; like Esop, the
actor, and his son Clonius; like Yedius
Polio, who fattened his lampreys on
the flesh of murdered slavcs.-NMe-

MONTANA MOSQUITOES.
How the Playful Little Insects Carried
OFF n Heavy Boiler.

i OFF n Heavy Boiler.
Mosquitoes are mighty bad in Mon
tana," chimed in a Wisconsin man.
'.They are a positive drawback to the
Territory. Of course the Montana
people don't say much about it, for
that's one marked popularity of these
Territorial people that they never adj
NIT to an outsider any of the bad fea-
lures of their particular locality. Now
California people " say boob about
earthquakes, although the shoe ks of
such disturbances are often felt there.
So it is with the Montana people. They
never let en- there is such a thing as a
mosquito, but the mosquito is there
just the same.
II was at Fort Keogh one summer
not long ago when an explosion oc-
Cured in the boiler. which blew it some
distance from the fort int q swamp.
The men started after il. When they
got there the mosquitoes were so thick
that it was found impossible to work.
The men got inside the boiler and the
mosquitoes punched their stingers
right through the plated iron. The
men clinched the bills on the in
side and kept on clinching them until
hundreds and hundreds of mosquitoes
were fastened to the boiler. The men
built a fire inside of the boiler to scare
off the other mosquitoes, and the latter
started to fly away. :
''Of course those that were fastened
tried to fly with the rest, and actually
carried the heavy boiler and the men
out of the swamp and on to the dry
land. After that it was no trick to
haul the boiler into the fort. How did
they get rid OF the mosquitoes billsP
Why, they just filed them off close and
left them there.-St. Paul Globe.

H LETTER "R."

1t Divides the United States in Three Dis.

I The use or misuse of the letter ..h'' ir
England determines q mans social no..
sition. He may drive in a carriage.
with outriders in livery, and his wife
rustic in satin and glitter with Jewels,
yet if they say ''orse" for horse and
''heye' for eye, their communication
from so-called polite society may be
taken for granted. OF course no one
will deny that many excellent English
men and women have led useful lives,
died and have gone to Heaven, who
never once put the ''h''w where 1t prop
erly belonged, and were in every wav
superior to those who could pronounce
it as Hamlet enjoins, "trippingly on the
tongue"
In the United States it is ..r'' that I'M
mistakably proves a mans origin, if
not his social standing and his moral
character. In New England and the
Middle States tho natives have a pc
culiar way of %dislocating the potent
liquid. They detach it from words
like near and dear" making them
inca" and "dea," and tack Il on to
others like Judea and Isaiah and En-
ma, making them, respectively, "Jn-
dear" ':Isaiaher'' and "Emmer."
This, it has been argued, is q fault
peculiar only to the uneducated classes.
But unprejudiced and truthful OBJ
servers declare that they have heard it
from persons of unquestionable culture,
from lecturers, authors and %clergymen,
even'in the inmost s%anctuaries OF Bos-
ton itself. In the West tho Eastern
tourist is impressed by the manner in
which the ,'r" is rolled. It seems tho
most prominent letter in the Western
alphabet; while in the South it is heard
very rarely. The people, however, do
not initiate their Eastern fellow-coun-
trymen by adjusting the balance, and
making the letter suffix where it is
wholly supertluous. And their soft,
musical tones make the fault rather
pleasing to ears accustomed to catarrhal
gutterals and high nasal tones sharpen
ed by east winds. The side-show man,
the vender of patent medicines who
varies the monotony of selling his nos
trums by strummidg upon a battered
guitar, or saving an asthmatic fiddle;
the leading man of the travelling theat-
rical company, the ringmaster of the
perennial circus, the negro minstrel-all
these drop the final '.r'' as an affiecta-
ton of extreme gentility.a We can
never hope to be q really, united people
until representatives from all sections
of the country meet in convention and
agree upon a National pronunciation
of the letter ''r."-InterI0r. ::

A TRIFLE IMPATIENT.

A dispatch from Washington quotes
the Press Courier presumably wash
ington ncwspaper) rs saying that "the
United States Supreme Court is still
driving away ut the Mormons; mean
while, we do not hear that the new DEM
ocratic Governor OF Utah is doing any
thing ALL" That's strange. The new
Democratic Governor OF Utah has
occupied the gubernatorial chair for
whole week. and yet the Press
Courier has not heard OF his
"doing anything at ALL" 1t occurs to us
that the Press Courier is q triflc impatient
to hear of the new Governor "doing
something" 1t may not be out OF place,
however, to suggest to tho Press Courie,
that it would perhaps be proper to wait
until something comes before him
requiring his official attention, before eX-
pectipg that he will do anything
at all' in an official way. Then
will it be time for him to act, and no mat
ter how complicated the question or how
trying the occasion may be, the DEMO
Graf is confident that Governor West
will be found equal to the emergency,
and that his official acts will be such as
to commend themselves to the hearty
approval of all good and intelligent citi.
zens everywhere, be they Democrats OF

A SERIOUS QUESTION

The riotous demonstrations in Chicago
and elsewhere will suggest to Congress
the eXpediency and perhaps the necessity
OF some legislation to restrict or in some
way to regulate immigration. Every cit
izen OF any foreign country who comes
here in good faith to make homo

citizen, and to conduct himself in
conformity to the laws and GUS
toms of this country, ought to be al
lowed 10 come. His coming will benefit
the country, and there is room and need
for him here. But it will not do to make
this country the dumping ground for the
ignorant, turbulent, troublesome, lawless,
vicious elements OF the European popu-
lations, saturated with the incendiary
spirit OF Socialism, Communism and
other pernicious doctrines that have
taken so deep root in some parts of
Europe.
The time may have been when this
country could absorb and assimiate the
criminal elias ses OF Europe and the dregs
OF European civilization, but that time is
past. This dangerous class now concen-
trates itself in the large cities, and in the
vice and crime and ignorance and poverty
always to be found there the pernicious
doctrines that its leaders promulgate take
root and grow. There are conditions in
the social and political state of affairs that
tend to create spirit OF antagonism be-
tween capital and labor, between those
who own property and those who do not
There is a restless discomfort among the
working classes and the poorer people,
and the presence OF the socialistic dis,
turbers and turbulent class OF people
having no regard for law and order and
bent upon license and destruction be,
comes doubly dangerous.
1t is serious consideration how iar the
spirit OF Communism has permeated the
lower strata oi the population in the large
cities, 1t is Il more serious question
whether ii has not TO some extent brought
the working classes within its balefu
