OLD ROMAN PERQulsITEs.
Immense Amounts G0bbled by OMcehold
ers In the Days of Cicero.

Immense Amounts Gobbled by OMcehold-
ers In the Days of Cicero.
When L. Capernius Piso was ap-
pointed governor of Macedonia for one
year he drew for his outfit from the
public treasury $4,000, 900 sesterces, or
e15O, 900. He did not want the money
for that purpose. Everything re-
quired by a proconsul was supplied to
him by the province. Piso simply took
the money for himself and lent it out
in Rome at high interest. c. Verres
was charged by Cicero with having
robbed Sicily of 1850, 900 in three years,
besides many valuable works of art.
He practically admitted his guilt by
retiring from Rome without attempt
ing any defense. Cicero, when COVER
nor of the poor province of Cilicia,
found himself the richer in one year by
e2O, 900, and he was perhaps the only
proconsul VINO ever nanded over his
surplus to the state.
There can be no doubt that Cicero
and the younger Pliny received large
sums from their clients while these
clients were still living. Balbus is not
likely to have secured the argument
''Pro Balbo" for mere trife, and the
gratitude of Sicily for the prosecution
of Verres undoubtedly took very sub
stantial form. Apart from all such
honoraria, it is recorded that Cicero
and the younger Pliny received legacies
from clients to the amount Of e17O,OOO.
Gibbon tells us, on the authority Of
Olympiodorus, that several Of the rich
est senators had an income Of e16O, 600
q year-without computing the stated
provision of corn and wine.

Antelope Preserve In Africa.


An effort is being made in England
to form a society with the object of
preserving me - of the species of
south African antelopes, which are in
danger of soon becoming extinct.
The scheme, VIII ich is being promoted
and supported by q number of we'll
known sportsmen and scientists, is to
inclose suitable tract Of country in
the district near Fort Salisbury with q
wire fencing of, say, forty-fve miles in
circumference, and drive into this in
closure small herds of the still exist
ing species of antelopes which it is de-
sired to preserve. At certain seasons
of the year, to prevent overcrowding,
. number of specimens would be let
loose or exported for the use of zoolog-
ical societies. To carry out the plan
comparatively moderate capital would
be required; and it Is said that the
British South African company will re-
ceive 6. petition before long asking their
consent to the fencing in OF the pro-
posed preserve.

FOUND IN THE PEAT BEDS.

Remains OF Prehistoric Animals Discovered
In England.
From time to time the peat beds at
Newbury have yielded abundant re-
mains of prehistoric animals which in
primeval ages roamed along the Ken
net valley, when the physical condi-
tions obtaining in western Europe were
altogether different from those which
now prevail-before, in fact, the present
insular position was brought about. In
these peat beds, according to a London
dispatch, have been found the remains
of the colossal mammoth, including Che
portion of tusk which, when entire,
must have been ten to twelve feet in
length, together with the bones, teeth
or horns of other animals which have
utterly disappeared from the face of
the earth. The drainage works which
are now being carried on in the town
of Newbury have brought to light,
mostly in a high state of preservation,
numerous bones, skulls, and other fos-
sill portions of animals which lived on
subsequently to the disappearance Of
the post-glacial mammals, such as the
wolf, bear, wild boar, red deer, roe,
goat, dog, fox, horse. Various objects
of. flint, characterizing the age of
stone, have also been found in the
lower layers of the peat, from which it
is evident that the prehistoric inhabit-
ants of the river valley possessed great
dexterity in the fabrication of these
primitive weapons and tools, some of
the ''knives" being beautifully Clipped
and presenting an edge almost as fine
as razor: Several articles of later
epoch have been also met with, form
ing curious melange, such as bronze
buckles Of many kinds, implements Of
bone, Roman pottery, q few coins, q
variety of keys. In the upper or made
earth of the cuttings in that part Of the
town fought over by cavalier and
roundhead many relics of the period
have been found, including portions of
swords, stirrup irons, spurs. bridlebits.
horseshoes and many other things Of
this date.

COLUMBIAN DOCUMENTS.
The Duke of veragua's Valuable Gift t,
the Lenox Library.

The Duke of veragua's Valuable Gift to
the Lenox Library.
The duke of Veragua made a gift to
the Lenox library of forty-six original
documents of the Columbus family,
which were exhibited at the Chicago
worlds fair.
He has made made this gift, says
the New York Times, by the inter-
mediary of Mrs. Louis Winnmuller, in
a letter charmingly expressive of his
pleasure at the Columbian exhibition
of books, pamphlets and manuscripts
organized at the Lenox library, on the
occasion of his visit to New York.
The documents are royal letters pat
ent, orders, letters and warrants, from
1883 to 1897, addressed to Christopher
Columbus and his son by the sover-
eigns of Portugal and of Spain.
Among them are a letter of the king
of Portugal to Chritopher Columbus,
written in 1883, conveying to the lat
ter the assurance of the formers con-
sideration; bull of Alexander conse-
Grating the discoverer's sovereignty of
the Indies in 1893; and several char
ters of the king and queen of Spain.
One of these, dated 1892, confers on
Christopher Columbus the title of ad-
miral and perpetual governor Of the
Indies; another, dated 1896, comedies
to him the privilege to wear arms; an
other, dated 1887, appoints Luis Colon
admiral of the Indies.
There are royal letters of congratu-
lation to Columbus, on the result of his
second voyage, on his diplomatic
achievements, and on his requirements
of honors; collection of the CORE
spondence between Christopher Colum-
bus and his son in 1904 and 1905; copies
of testaments; titles to pensions; books
of parchments relative to q great vari-
ETY. of details.
One of the letters patent. dated 1897,
was issued that Christopher Columbus
might return to the Isla Espanola and
islands of the New World; another of
the same year dated from Burgos, is
relative to three hundred persons who
conveyed" Columbus to America;
most of them are titles Of authority.
The entire collection is at present in
Chicago, where it adorned the convent
Of La Rabida, and is described here
from the titles Of the various docu-
ments. They will be an interesting &C
cession to the valuable treasures of

EAsY-oo,Mo KING HuMsERI

H,s One Conspacu0ue weakness . Foad-
ness foe lGilitaxy Display.
King Humbert has the reputation OF
being the most constitutional OF all the
constitutional monarchs Of Europa
So we'll has he fulfilled this rule that,
according to the Baltimore Sun, he
may be said to have, save in one point
only, completely extinguished his per
sonality. That point is his determine
ton, at all costs, to keep up the army
and navy to their present state of efa-
cheney and numbers. The various min
istries that have succeeded each other in
Italy with such rapidity have real
ly governed the state. This one
condition they had to accept-the
maintenance Of the army as desired
by the king. His usual costume on
gala days and and when he shows
himself to his subjects is the military
costume. He is the first soldier in Italy.
That he possesses great courage has
been made fully evident by his devotion
when, the cholera having broken out
with virulence in Naples, he visited the
sick and dying day after day in their
low and unhealthy dwellings. What
he may be as legislator, thinker,
or wit, the public is not informed.
No Legislative measures of paramount
benefit or Importance are attributed to
his initiative; no striking thought that
might enter the heart Of the nation has
been pronounced by him or has
reached the people: even the faculty of
making witty phrase, which, though
little in itself, being uttered by one in
high place acquires value and a cur
rency which carries it far and
renders popular its originator, is
not quality which he pos
sesses. A generous, good-na-
tured, easy-going gentleman, who.
desires to live and let live-in fact, q
person of rather neutral characteris-
tics-is the picture that people make
to themselves of King Humbert. He
is to the fore. when a review is held.
He looks well when, arrayed in grand
military costume and riding noble
steed and surrounded by the excep-
tionally brilliant staff of the Italian
army, he reviews the troops in their
march past him. Again, when seated
in one of the gala carriages, accom-
panied by the tall, steel-clad royal
guards, he goes to open new session
of parliament he is q figure well
worth noticing. So deeply has the
military spirit entered into the nation
that the king is never publicly seen
on state occasions in any other than
a military costume r

ABSENT-MlNDED SENATORS.
John Sherman Often Unable to Call the
Names of His Erionds. =

John Sherman Often Unable to Call the
Names of His Friends.
There is many a man who has felt
himself aggrieved that Senator John
Sherman was unable to remember him
or to call him by name. 1t is faculty,
says the Washington Times, the lack Of
which seriously handicaps q man in
public life. Perhaps the great Ohioan
might have been president but for the
lackrof it. But the fact Of his for
getting mans name is no evidence in
John Sherman's case of his wanting in
esteem for the forgotten one.
In recent speech he paused con-
fusedly when he wanted to refer to
something that had been said by ssMr.
neighbor on my left-the
senator from Massachusetts," Senator
Aldrich, sitting just behind him, sug-
gested Hoar. Sherman and Hoar have
been associated in public life for an in
definite number of years. They are
friends and what may be termed inti-
mate acquaintances. The Sherman
and the Hoar families are related. Yet
the senator from Ohio was made to
come out Of the absorption in his sub
ject in which he was invested to call.
the name Of Senator Hocr.
It is. related as fact Of wealthy
old resident Of q western town that he
wandered all over the town in At Of
profound abstraction one morning.
Some one stopped him to say: ''Good
morning, Mr.. Hayden"
The old fellow looked up excitedly
and exclaimed: That's it! That's it!
I've been trying to think Of that name
all morning, and couldn't sign check
at the bank"
Forgetfulnees of names il not an un-
usual peculsarity among men, but It Is
. fatal lack In man who seeks popu-
larity with the masses of the people.

Egyptian Tree Planting.


Systematic efforts have been made
in different parts of the world to in
troduce q growth of trees where they
had never been known, from which inn
portant results have followed in many
instances. Egypt, which had formerly
only about six rainy days during the
year, has, since having planted trees on
an extensive scale, already attained
about five times that number. Sixteen
square miles Of the swampy, unhealthy
county along the Bay of Biscay was
planted with thousands Of trees, espe-
cially the cork oak and swamp pine.
The trees have drained the land, SO rs
to destroy the swamp fcvers, and change
it into a healthy country with fine for
ests. Biscay law requires that for every
tree cut down two shall be planted.
