Looked Pretty. but 1t Cannot Have
Tasted Any Too Well.
1t was the custom at one time in Ven
ice, according to the Boston Globe, to
gild the rolls of bread and the oysters
ON the supper table. The candles were
also coated with gold. We read of din
ners of state which lasted four hours.
In 1852 the Patriarch of Aquileia
feted Ranuccio Farnesc. the pope's
nephew, in his palace on the Giudecca.
The rooms were decked with extraor-
binary sumptuousness; cloth of gold,
paintings and Examinations adding to
the effect produced by the patriarch's
cooks.
Among the guests were twelve gem
tlemen in fancy marine costume of
green satin with red lining. wearing
caps Of the same colors. and each ac-
companied by ladies dressed in white
This repast also lasted four hours,
varied by music and the professional
entertainers of the day. 1t ended with
the cutting up Of certain large pies,
from which live birds flew out into the
room. The guests strove with each
ether to catch those birds.
But. perhaps, the most expensive
banquet ever given in Venice was that
to henry ILL.,, of France. lie was feast
ed in the great hall of the Doge's palace,
and there were silver plates for three
thousand guests.
At another time the same monarch
was entertained at sugar banquet; the
napkins, plates. knives, forks and even
the bread (so-called) were all of sugar.
The Venetians were nightly pleased
when Henry took his napkin in his
hands, and, to his surprise, found that
it broke to pieces.
At least one thousand two hundred
and sixty different dishes were served.
and three hundred sugar efiigies were
distributed among the ladies.

caused great deal of trouble. Immi-
grafton OF a good class from northern
Europe would do Mexico good, because
the immigrants would set an example
of industry and thrift to the natives.
But there is not much inducement for
immigrants of the laboring. mechanic
or agricultural classes to settle in Mex
leo. The demand for labor does not
equal the supply, and the farmers would
find but poor markets for their prod
ucts. Mexico is good country for men
with money to invest in mining and
other industries requiring large capital,
but to immigrants without means the
field is not inviting.

by an old gentleman who was at least

simple one, but the right royal welcome
that he gave us was as cheering as "a
rock in q weary land" and as free from
deception as dross is foreign to tenn

We denounce the Reilly funding bill as unwise

DEATH NOT A GRIM MONSTER.
Two Accepted Ideas which EX aeri.
emce show 10 be False.



Familiarity with death is apt to
alter ones earlier conceptions OF it.
Two ideas are very generally accepted
which experience shows to be false.
One is that the dying usually fear
death, and the other, that the act Of
dying is usually accompanied by pain.
1t is we'll known to all physicians that
when death is near its terrors do not
seem to be felt by the patient. Unless
the Imagination is stimulated by the
frightful portrayal of the supposed
"pangs of DEATH" or of the sufferings
which some believe the soul must en-
dure after dissolution, it is rare. in
deed, that the last days or hours Of
life are passed in dread. Oliver
Wendall Holmes has recorded his pro-
test against the custom OF telling a
person who does not actually ask to
know that he cannot recover. As
that loving observer of mankind as
serts, so must everyone, who knows
whereof he speaks, assert that people
almost always come to understand
that recovery lie impossible; it is rare
ly needful to tell any one that this ia
the case. When nature gives the
warning death appears to be as little
feared as sleep. Most sick persons
are very, very tired; sleep-long,
quiet sleeps what they want. l
have seen many people die. /
have never seen one who seemed to
fear death. except when it was, or
seemed to be, rather far away. Even
those who are constantly haunted,
while strong and we'll, with dread OF
the end Of life, forget their fear when
that end is at hand.
As for the act of dying-the final
passage from life to death-it is abso-
lutely without evidence that the Oft
repeated assertions of its painfulness
are made. Most people are uncon-
scious for some hours before they die |;
and in the rare cases where I'M
consciousness is retained unimpaired
until a few minutes before the end the
l. asst sensation must be of perfect calm
and rest. It is worse than cruel to add
to the natural dread of death which
Expresses the majority of us while in
good health the dread of dying.

1t was q fortunate accident that led
to the discovery Of the method of trans
ferring handwriting to iron. A Pitts
burgh iron founder, while experiment.
ing with molten iron in different con-
ditions, accidentally dropped . ticket
into mold. He presently found that
the type of the ticket was transferred
to the iron in distinct characters. Fol-
lowing up the idea which this fact suQ-
gested, he procured a heat-proof ink,
with which he wrote invertedly on or
binary white paper. This paper was in
PRODUCED into the mold before the mol
ten iron was poured in. When the mold
cooled the paper had been consumed bv
the heat, bnt the ink. which remained
intact. had left . clear impression on
the iron.

Robert Buchanan in the Idler speaks
thus bitterly of literature: IT entire
ly agree with Mr.. Grant Allen in his
recent avowal that literature is the
poorest and the least satisfactory Of
all professions; will go ever farther
and affirm that it is one of the least

knowledge Of the writer's of my own
period, 1 can honestly say have not
met one individual who has not dete-
riorated morally by the pursuit of liter.

New Review says that great bonanzes
are now awaiting the successful writer
in America. There will, of course, be
more failures, he says, but also proper.
tionate successes.
