HOW THE ANCIENTS DINED.
History Tells That They Were Grea
Eaters and Deep Drinkers.

Eaters and Deep Drinkers.
American Analyst.
There is an old Latin riddle of the eighth
century In which the table says: 81 feed
people with many kinds of food. First,
am a quadruped and adorned with hand
some clothing; then / am robbed Of my
apparel and lose my legs also" The food
Of the Anglo-SaXon was largely bread.
The bread was baked in round fiat cakes,
which the superstition OF the cook marked
with cross to preserve them from the
peTils of the fire. Milk, butter and cheese
were also eaten. The principal meat was
bacon, as the acorns of the oak forests, which
then covered large part of England, sup
ported numerous dr0yes of swine. Our
Anglo Saxon forefathers were not only
heavy eaters, but, unfortunately. deep
drinkers
The drinking horns were at first literally
horns, and so must be Immediately emptied
when filed; later, when the primitive horn
had been replaced by glass cup. it retained
a tradition OF its rude predecessor in It's
shape, so that Ii, too, had TO be empted at

self to each guest before dinner was served
and after 1t was ended. Roast meat was
served on the spit or rod on which it was
cooked, and the guest cut or tore of piece
to suit himself. Boiled meat was laid on
the cakes OF, bread, or, later, on thick slices
OF bread called "tTeDchers." from Norman
word meaning ito cut," as these were to
carve the meat on, thus preserving the table,
cloth from the knife.

British Officer Advocates Training
Them for the Service.
London News.
Major Allatt, who is himself practical
pigeon-fyer states that the Italians employ
pigeons very considerably in the Mediter-
ranean in connection with their ships of
war. The French also use them regularly
and systematically In the Mediterranean
during their naval maneuvers. This officer.
however, is OF the opinion that if we are
going to use birds to fly over water for
naval purposes, ducks would be better than
pigeons. because when a duck gets tired he
drops and sits on the water until he is
rested. and then gets up again. Ducks,
moreover. can fly by night, while pigeons
cannot. Major Allatt thinks that seagulls
might be trained also for message bearing
purposes
Major Allatt warns us against some
stories regarding long flights by trained
pigeons which have been put forth on high
authority. 1t WAS at his suggestion that an
apocryphal tale OF pigeons sent out to and
returning from the Arctic regions, which
he has even imposed upon Yarrell, was ex
plunged from the last edition of that
writer's British Birds" An equally false
account Of pigeon flying 1900 miles in
America is also extant
Major Allatt believes the greatest dis
tance pigeons have flown of which we have
any accurate record is In the races which
have taken place two or three times from
Rome to Belgium, a distance of between 800
and 800 miles. But in every one of these
cases very large proportion of the birds
have beenilOst.

SHE GAVE BEER.
The Strange Story of the Officer and the
Lander County Cow.

Austin Advocate.
Several months ago United States Marshal
Jim Moore arrived In Austin, and after re-
naming seve raj days went 10 Reese River.
His actions were very mysterious, and 1t
was reported that he was trying to unearth
a gang of moonshiners who were located
somewhere on the river and manufacturing
good quality Of liquor. His visit to the
river convinced him that he had not been
misinformed and that liquor was being
made, but he could not find evidence enough
70 arrest any one.
On the MsrshaPs return to Austin he in
formed an Advocate reporter that beer
was being made; that he watched the
farmer pick the hops and carry them to the
stable and dump them In the manger, but
got no other clew. He disguised himself
and obtained employment on the place dur
Ing the haying season. An opportunity
presented itself and he stole the farmer s
watch end chain and bid 1t In the hired
mans bed. The hired man was discharged,
and In his anger at being discharged and
accused OF theft, told the following:
Whenever the beer kog was running low
they would feed Brlndle, one of the milch
cows. on hops for several days, and the re-
suit was she would give the finest kind OF
beer for several days instead of milk.
The Marshal left Austin saying he had
enough of Lander County and its mystic
RES, but says he will report the matter ia
the proper authorities and do all in his
power to make the farmer pay revenue
license on the COW.

The First Bank.

Heron OF Syracuse, 49, BIC. issued a
piece Of money called drachm, with his pic
ture on one side and chariot driven by a
man with four horses attached to it on the
other, SAYS the Bankers Monthly. About
this date came Into existence the first bank
OF which we huve any record, that was a
bank established at Babylon, +. c., GIG,
which was in existence for over 100 years,
as shown by its records. and its name was
Egibps Bank. This bank probably used
coinage OF this period, which was in circu-
latioD, and we think that il had considera-
BILE Macedonian, Hebrew and coinage of its
own country, Babylon. in its vaults. Some
OF the bills receivable or notes due this bank
are now in the British Museum at London
The notes were written On little round clay
cylinders, which were put in stone lars
