will stop the ploughs and hoes.

SOME CELEBRATED FEAsrs.

Meals That Cost Well Up Among the
Hundreds of Thousands.
In 1470 George Nevil was installed
Archbishop Of York, England, and gave
a feast Of extravagant cost. Here are
some Of the supplies for the mighty
spread: Eight fatted oxen, 300 hogs,
10000 sheep, 1000 chickens, 1000
ducks, 1000 bucks, does and roebucks,
300 tuns Of ale, 104 tuns Of wine and
other things in proportion. The total
cost Of Nevil's banquet was upwards
Of $15O,O00. But the very costliest meal
ever served, as far as history shows.

one OF the most lavish of the later-day
Roman arfstocrats. The supper was
only intended for dozen persons, vet
its cost was 6,OOO sestertia, which
would amount to f4S,5 (f1S,5O0 more
