Tho Way the Romans Enjoyed Life.

The Way the Romans Enjoyed Life.
The lavish expenditure Of the Romans on
the coma, the great meal Of the day, was
often fabuloua Vitellius Is actually reported
to have squandered 400 sestertia, about e., =
22S, on his daily supper, though surely this
must be a monstrous exAggeration. The Gel
ebrated feast to which he invited his brother
Aucius cost 5000 sestertia, or a40, $50 Sue
tonius relates that it consisted Of z, 900 differ
ent dishes Of flsh and 1000 Of fowls, and this
did not exhaust the bill of fare. His daily
food was luxurious and varied beyond prece-
dent. The deserts Of Lydia, the shores OF
Spain and the waters Of the Carpathian seas
were diligently searched to furnish his table
with dainties, while the savage wilds Of Brit
ain had to bear their part in replenishing his
larder. Had he reigned long Josephus sayz
that he would have exhausted the wealth Of
the Roman empire itself. lElius Verus, an
other Of these worthless. was equally profuse
in the extravagancs Of his suppera
It h said that q single entertainment, to
which only dozen guests were invited, cost
o,OOO, 900 sesterces-6,O0 sestertia, that is-or
nearly a4S,5OQ History relates that his
whole life was passed eating and drinking in

indeed, was the extravaganza of those times
that to entertain an emperor was to face al
most certain ruin; one dish alone at the table
of Haliogabalus is said to have cost about
"a, 600 Of our money. No wonder these i'm
perial feosts were heightened out for hours
and that every artifice, often revolving in the
extreme, was used to prolong the pleasure Of
eating, or that Philoxenus should have wished
that he had the throat of crane with deli
cato palate all the way down. One does mo-
like to associate the name Of Julius Cgsal
with habits of low gluttony that would dis
grace a prize fighter. and yet, if our memor,
does not play US false, even he did not disdai,
to take emctics to return to bis banquets witt

II Is Queer.

Caldwell Tribune;
The new editor OF the Boise Cit,
Statesman is urging that immediate
steps be taken to secure a good sup.
ply of pure drinking water for that
city's needs. Now, this may be all
right enough and "move in the
right direction" ETC., but what strikes
us queer is the fact that in all the 20
years of editorial management of the
former editor of the Statesman, We
never heard one word against Boise
City's water.

Turn Your Clothing.

will tell you q secret by which you
can buy first class clothes and make
them last so long that they will bs
cheaper in the end than clothes at hall
price. / learned it froDs o gentleman
WHO Is always well dressed, and who
thought must pay large amount OF
money for his clothes. The plan is this
When you go to tailor, or buy a suit OF
clothes ready made, take cafe that both
sides OF the goods are serviceable. Most
Of the cloth made can DO turned and
present entirely different patterns. AT
ter you have worn the clothes until they
appear old. take them 70 your tailor, OF
any other, have him rip them up, turn
them and sew them together. This can
be done ut cost for suit OF clothes OF
less than S., and you will be astonished
at the handsome appearance Of the
clothes. To prove this, look at the in
side Of the cloth in the coat or pants you
wear. i do not care how soiled the out
side may be, the inside will seem new.
1t is on the same principle chat ladies
have last seasons dresses made over.
More gentlemen than you may imagine
have their clothes turned. The great
difficulty is with the pockets in pants.
The clothes should in the first place have
the pockets on the sides and only one
back pocket.-Intervew 10 st. Louis

A Modern Recipe for q Dinner.

The modern recipes for making din
ners are framed upon the supposition
that you are TO obtain the materials OF
manufacture for nothing. They should
be written in this form: Go to the mar
ket and beg beef bone from the butch
er; steal couple Of parsnips and half q
dozen Of potatoes from the peddler's
cart; get your grocer to trust you for
half pound of rice; borrow from your
neighbor a cupful Of -four; from another
neighbor hod Of coal; put your bone
into quart OF water and let it stew
slowly; slice your potatoes and parsnipsi
get an onion somewhere and slice it also;
put them in with the bone; stew two
hours and add your flour. Simmer
twenty minutes and serve. This dinner
will supply father and mother and six
teen children, according to the modern
cook book. Cost, one match to light the

FINANCE AND COMMERCE
New York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, December 3.-The bears were
successful III forcing monumental liquida-
ton in the trusts, because few. Of the
wiser ones detected the weak spots in them.
These mere first and foremost the public
antipathy TO the trust principle, 10 which
oyer.capitalzation, heavy losses and undue
imitation in prices were added. Railroad
stocks stood up well; earnings and general
business were good. The phen pmenal earn
ings Of the coal roads last year permitted
the undue advance in the stocks first Of this
year. To-day the coalers broke sharply and
brought the rally which was in full force
last night 10 an end. Money was easier,
although the rate in the morning was gen
orally stfl0. Ii is useless TO disguise the
fact that the bull sentiment, which was so
pronounced two months ago, has been
greatly curtailed, and we are liable TO have
violent fluctuations in stocks, which dur
ing the prevalence Of that sentiment
could not have been affected at all.

Twas staying witlfa Kentucky farmer
one night, and soon after supper he said
TO his three sons:
"Well. boys, It Is the right sort Of Q
night. and / reckon you'd better put the
wool on and lie low"
When asked for an explanation Of his
strange words he invited me to go out tc
the barn, where tho boys had preceded
us, and where found each one covered
with disguise made Of sheepskin. Each
one had short heavy club, with por-
ton Of 1t ornamented with sharp spikes,
and when ready they went over to the
pasture, where about 100 sheep were
lying. When down on their hands and
knees and q little way of they closely
resembIed overgrown sheep. They took
different stations, and the farmer and ]
sat down in fence corner to wait.
1t was perhaps an hour before an
alarm came. Then dog stole into the
field from the rear side and the sheep
came running toward us. Presently there
was a yelp and all grew quiet. Ten min
utes later a second dog came In, and he
was soon followed by third. Then. as
half an hour passed without another
alarm, the three boys came over to us,
each dragging dead dog by the tail.
"Git the spade and let's bury EN-
said the old man. "How many does this
make this summer. Reuber'
"Twenty-six. reckon"
"Nicest thing in the world!" continued
the father, as he rubbed his hands to-
gether. Dog takes one Of the boys for
an old wether, makes dash at him, and
the next thing he knows his head is bust
ed. No shooting, no row to attract the
neighbors, and the man who misses his
dog can have no hard feelings. Tumble
EN- in, boys, and then we'll tap that bar
