An Antiquarian Banquet.

This unique and select feast was
given more than twenty years ago ut
Brussels by resident Of that city,
himself an antiquarian, says Harper's
Bazaar. Only six guests were invited,
one of them an American, from whom.
as then published, Is derived this brief
account. So dainty bill of fare can
never be repeated. There were apples
grown more than 1,SOO years ago. and
for this modern entertainment taken
from an earthen jar rescued from the
ruins of Pompeii. Bread was offered
made from wheat found In chamber
of one Of the pyramids, and raised be-
fore the children Of Israel passed
through the Red Sea; butter, churned
when Queen Bess occupied England's
throne-chair, was taken from an earth
en- crock found on a stone shelf, where
for centuries 1t had been preserved in
icy water in one Of the wonderful deep
wells Of Scotland; and wine, "long mel
lowing through the lapse of years" in
a secret vault In the city of Corinth, as
far back, so 1t is affirmed, as the If
teenth century. At this unparalleled
array of dainties each guest had bit
of bread, sip II wine, Of butter as
much as desired, and the Jar Of canned
apple was freely circulated

the southern part Of this State who main
tains his former master and mistress In
their old mansion just as they lived, al
though perhaps not 80 luxuriously, when
he was their slave. while. he resides In. q
more modest structure on another part OF
the place. They are childless and feeble
minded. and one'of their decisions. which
he permits them to enjoy and impose
upon their friends. Is that they still own
the old plantation, and that he IL their
overseer or agent in charge.
Farms are not rented by acres and very
rarely for cash, and there Is seldom any
lease or contract or memorandum. Be-
tween white and black men such papers
are unknown. The unwrittcn laws of
leasehold are the same all over this Sec
ton, and have been unchanged since the
war. Business follows u universal GUS
tom and Is conducted entirely upon faith
and the knowledge of the habits of men.
There are one-mule farms and two-mule
farms and four-mule farms. Area Is not
measured by acres nor by the labor of
men, but by the number of mules employ
cd.
A negro rents from his old master or
his landlord as much land as he can culti-
vate with one mule, and the annual rental
is one bale of cotton. If he has two mules
he takes as much land as he can cultivate
with them, and the rental is two bales of
cotton, and so on. A one-mule farm is
usually about forty acres. and two
mule farm from eighty to hundred acres.

Century Breathing.

One hundred deep breaths before
breakfast every morning Is the very
latest order Of physical culture teachers
to pupils who are fiat-chested and
scrawney -necked. Anybody can try it.
and 1t does work wonders If religious
ly adhered to day in day out. For girls
whose dresses require padding across
the bust it is especially advised because
a high chest produces much OF the
effect of very full development. AS
soon as you jump out of bed throw
back the shoulders, stand in n correct
position, hold the head straight, draw
a deep, long breath and hold 1t just as
long as you can. 1t will first raise and
initiate the chest, draw the portion OF
the body below the belt line, and dis
tend the lower part Of the throat, while
the mere holding Of the breath will ex-
ercise the unused muscles of the throat
and increase the throat measure just as
singing does. Take these deep breaths
at first slowly in groups Of five. The
morning toilet can be performed with
out interrupting the century breathing
exercise, so that no time Is wasted.
About the fiftieth deep breath try five
rapid and deep mutations. BY this
means, even IL you are not blessed with
the desired flesh, you need not mourn
for scrawny threats or fiat chests. Also
1t will give you the prettiest nape Of the
neck. which is always a desirable pos
session.

from the war that Greenhut was Mt the
front, fighting like tiger. Those who
thought they knew him never dreamed
Of his being stirred by patriotic i'm
pulses. Greenhut disappointed them.
He was one of the bravest soldiers of
the war.
After the war Mr.. Greenhut returned
to Chicago and got in the distilling
business. The fortunes that others had
made in the whisky business while he
was fighting seemed to attract his at
tention. He operated a plant in Chi

went to Pekin, continuing in the same
business. Then he moved on to Peoria.

solute dictator of its policy and it's
methods. The strength of the man was
never better illustrated than on those
occasions when directors of the trust
met in Peoria with their minds made
up to check Greenhut's autocratic
ways and assert themselves. He dealt
with the board firmly. One of the d.
rectors recently said Mr.. Greenhut
seemed to hypnotize them. He got
everything he wanted, and always
ended by having things his own way.
Mr.. Greenhut's home Is one of the
most hospitable and artistic in Peoria.
His domestic life is exemplary. 1t is
said that he puts no limit whatever on
the charitable work Of Mrs. Greenhut.
She gives away thousands Of 1is mon

tentatious way that few know who
the objects of her charity are Touch

a door out from one house into another,
and then to cover over with very dark
paper the door on both sides so that
the pattern exactly fitted. l did not
ask questions-I had no grounds for
doing so-but am pretty certain that

Jay Gould In the holiness and daring
Of stock operations. A word or a nod
from him made or lost fortunes for
traders in whisky securities. Always
active, the stock was obedient to his
dictates. When he talked Of prosper
ity the quotations scared. When he
told Of lean earnings they tumbled.
IntoxicatiOn with his power in the
market finally made him dizzy, and at
the critical moment traders with whose
capital he had juggled for years COM
bined and overthrow him. He is now
about to be retired from the property

ly so recklessly.
Mr.. Greenhut is a Bohemian Jew.
When mere lad he came to America.
His parents settled in Chicago. Few
persons who knew him as boy, when
he attended small Jewish school,
would have ventured to predict a sue
cessful career for the lad. He was re-
garded as the blockhead Of the school.
He took one position in his classes and
held 1t throughout his entire course. 1t
was at the bottom. Nobody took
enough interest In the stupid young
fellow to inquire what became of him
after he dropped from school. That
was back In the fifties. Astonishment

a week, but the 25-cent seats are good
enough for me. Saturday cook a quart
of beans and buy loaf Of brown
bread and one-half pound Of salmon,
and that does until Tuesday. Tuesday
a pint Of oysters is sufficient for din
ner. Wednesday buy chicken or a
small piece of lamb, which does until
Saturday with little fish. We use
small quantity of pastry and bread
and cake and vegetables. We run two
fires, burn gas; we use matches and
pepper. My father only spends 10 cents
a week for pleasure. When my COM

he was shouting out q protest against

and picturing with lusty roars the con-

He used his text-which seemed to
have nothing in common with his re-
marks-to ill up the waste places, ring
ing it in whenever he ended one thought
and before he started on the devious
paths of another. He seemed to use
it on the same principle that a stutter-

himself successfully upon sentence.

A practical innovation has been in
troduced In Berlin restaurant, where
the clothes hooks are arranged In such
way that, after hanging a coat on
them, they can be locked by means
of snap lock in the upper hook or hat
rack. Regular guests receive a key,
while transient guests have to ask the
waiter to return to them their over
coats. Since the introduction Of this
patent hook not an overcoat has been
stolen in the place, while previous to
that time considerable trouble arose
both to the proprietor and guests be-
cause of sneak thieves. The new hook
is very simple; the lowest part of it
Is on hinge. and the lock Is attached
