Roman Eensts.

The lavish expenditure of the Ro-
mans on the cgna, the great meal OF
the day, was often fabulous. Vitellius
is actually reported to have squandered
400 seStertiS, about 3,22S. on his daily
supper, though surely this must be a
monster aggregation. The celebrated
feast to which he invited his brother
Lucius cost 5000 Sestertia, or E40,S50
Suetonius relates that il consisted of
1000 different dishes OF fish aud 1000
of fowls, and this did not exhaust the
bin of faVe His daily food was lux
urous and varied beyond precedent
The deserts of Lydia, the shores OF
Spain, and the waters of the Carpa-
THAN seas were diligently searched to
furnish his table with dainties, while
the savage wilds of Britain had to bear
their part in repleuiShing his larder.
Had he reigned long Josephus says
that he would have exhausted the
wealth of the Roman empire itself.
Eliys Verus, another of these worthies
was equally protuse Ia the eXtrava-
gance of his suppcrs. IL is said that a
single entertainment to which only o
dOzen guests were invited, cost 6.000.-
600 sosterces-6,O0 900 sestertia, that is
or nearly Gas, 500. History relates
that his whole life was passed eating

treats of Daphne or at the luxurious
banquets uf Antioch. So paofuse, in
deed, was the extravaganza Of those
times that TO entertain an emperor was
to face almost certain ruin; one dish
alone at the table of Heliogabalus j.
said TO have cost about $4,000 of our
money. No wonder these imperial
feasts were heightened out for hours,
and that every artiiice, often, revolt
ing ia the extreme, was used to pro-
long the pleasure of eating. or that

Wanted 20 See "oId Hutch"

New and attractive features are de-
veloping IN Chicago every day.
Strangers who have visited the city
during the past few years have asked
TO be shown the stock yards the parks,
Tie tunnel and the house that was not
burned in the great fire. To these at
fractions can be added now the Audi
forum and the sky-scraping buildings
that have recently been erected, but it
has only very lately been discovered
that at least one Of the citizens has de-
velOped into an attraction for sight
seers. This fact has, however, become
patent through the medium of an old
chap who came TO town some days ago
with n cargo Of cattle from Montana.
1t is TO DO supposed that he landed his
stock all right and sold it and then
was ready 10 see the sights He was
found asleep in the spectators gallery
Of the board Of trade, where he had
planted himself, with his big cowhide
boots placed upon the rail and in full
view Of tho people below. His repose
was not Of long duration, for an at
tendant soon awoko him, when the old

and he told the attendant that the old
fellow had been standing there for

conscious Of the admiration he was

hilarious one, was rubbing his head

had directed him TO the spot and said:

"She had heart disease And they
talked their fill and never discovered

The short hair curled softly about
the face of the dead girl as she lay in
her coffin, and Sainton paid heavily for
masses for her sweet soul. When they
laid her in the church-yard he came
home and took the key, and went into
the little parlor all alone. She had
never seen it. She had never even
heard of it. 1t is sad to bury baby
that is dead; it is sadder, if we but
knew it, To bury in darkness and
silence a child that has never lived. A
JOY that has gone from us forever is a
jewel that trembes like tear on
sorrows breast, but the brightest stars
in her diadem are the memories of
hopes that have passed away unrealized
aud untold. All, well, perhaps the gay
trappings of the little room, by their
daily influence on his life, drew him
nearer to heaven. He gave the key
to his sister afterward, and they used
the room as their own; but that day he
locked himself in alone, aud hiding
his face in the cushions of her dainty
chair he wept as only strong man
can weep. Earnest DaaS ia HUper's

1t next occurred To me To find out
what the poets say about tears. They
travel from earth to heaven very rapid
", in a daring. desultury way, and al
ways through msts aud clouds, seeing
things and parts of things very indis-
tinctly, and rarely telling the truth

value, which other people do not know.

began to rummagc among my books
The first lines that met my eye were
these:--
''Tears feelings bright. embodied form, are
not
More pure than dowdrops Natures tears"
Here is a definition of tears that we
can accept without aversion, tears
are the bright, bodily form of feeling.
The poet does not tell US that when we
weep we are doing nothing more than
secreting mucus iluid by means Of
the lachlymal gland. He feels bound.
however, to state the fact that tears
are not more pure than dewdrops The
whole truth would have been that they
are not as pure by a good deal. Per
haps Mr.. Bailey did not know that
they contain mucns, albumeu, and
salt. We wish we did not possess the
uncomfortable information. We shall

COUNTY ROADS.
Suggestions About Their Improvement That
May be Found Useful.

suggestions About Their Improvement That
May Be Found Useful.
To carry out q good system Of roads In
the county the improvement should be.
gin at central point usually the county
seat), affirms The World, which furnishes
the following suggestions: From that
point one or more Of the most important
roads should be selected for permanent
amendment. These should be kept up
year after year until the present unsat-
isfactory condition has been thoroughly
changed, not only to the advantage Of
farmers In conveying their products to
market, but In giving an increased value
to their lands.
Not every road can at once be recon.
structed or greatly improved, nor is 1t
necessary. Quite often farmers living
on byroads will leave home with a fair
load and get along much better than
they will after striking the main and
more travelled road that leads to town.
Such main roads should, therefore, be
the first to have attention. Whatever is
done should be with view to perma-
nence and availability for future i'm.
provement if not thoroughly completed
at the time. The roadbed should not be
too wide and the road should be suffi-
GENTLY raised and rounded 60 as to cause
the water that falls on it to run off
quickly.
Where the material is near at hand or
the necessary means can be had the most
used portions should be macadamized
and finished at once. In communities
not wealthy or thickly settled, the dirt
road must of necessity remain the most
common form for long time, and where
properly graded, constructed and kept
in repair, will serve the ordinary travel
of average farming communities quite
well. Screened gravel and furnace Gin
ders furnish a good covering for roads
and should be used wherever available.
However much may be done the two
prime requisites for good road should
always be observed. These are an easy
grade and the quickest possible radiance
Of the water that falls on the road.
