Customs of the AncIentS

The ancients, in order to enjoy the
scent Of roses at meals, had an abund-
ance Of the fragrant petals rained
down upon the guests; Heliogabalus.

that the cloud Of blossoms he ordered
shaken down over one Of his banquets
actually suffocated some Of his friends.
The Romans. during their meals, re-
clined on cushions stuffed with rose
leaves or made a couch of the leaves
themselves. The floor, too, was strewn
with the lovely blossoms. Cleopatra, at
an enormous expense. procured roses
for feast which she prepared for An
thony; they were laid two cubits thick
on the floor Of the banquet room, and
nets were then spread over the fra
grant bed to give an elastic footing.

Koch's study of Leprosy.

The results of Prof. Koch's study
Of leprosy In East Prussia last year
have just been published in Berlin. He
Is Of opinion that the cases he cav
there were not connected, like those
In Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc,
with the leprosy Of the Middle Ages,
but had probably been introduced since
1870, through the close intercourse be-
tween East Prussia and the Russian
Baltic provinces. Twenty-seven cases
revealed themselves before September
1856, and Of those seventeen ended IA
tally. OF the ten living patients six
are being treated at their own homes
and four in hospitals. The introduc-
ton and propagation OF leprosy took
place mainly between 1882 and 1890.
Infection, DR.. Koch says, seems to be
caused mostly by low living, or over
crowding In small houses, and to some
extent also by the wearing of infected
clothes. He found no evidence of he
reditary transmission. The duration
of the disease is generally from five to
ten years.

New Process of Packing Cotton.

New PROCESS OF fAckIng Sottops
The cotton industry Is to be benefited
in a new way by an improved process
Of packing. According to the Manufae-
turers' Record, the American cotton
bale has long been noted as "the
clumsiest, dirtiest, most expensive and
wasteful package in which cotton, or,
in fact, any other commodity of like
value is put up" The new bale is to
be rolled and cylindrical 1t will, It is
said, I'LL less than half the space Of
the old bale, weight for weight, cost
$4.25 less to market, and is incom-
bustible. The cotton as 1t comes from
the gin is rolled around a rod, or cylin-
der, and the new system is expected to
save millions to the south. The in
combustible character Of the bale Is
perhaps Its greatest value, IL 1t really
has that quality. Fire has been one
of the worst enemies of the planter and
the shipper. Baled cotton does not
ignite easily, but when once fired it
is a very diflcult substance to extin-
guish.

PEMBROKE CASTLE.
o.s OF the Strongest OF Anelsn. welsh
Fortresaea.

Ons OF the Strongest OF Ancient Welsh
Fortresses.
Pembroke castle was one Of the
strongest Of the ancient fortresse, in
Wales. The ruins Of the old strong
hold Occupy the summit Of a ridge
overlooking the town of Pembroke. and
are 10 massive as to form, with the sur
rounding country, one Of the most pic
turesque views in all Wales. Beneath
the ruins is an enormous natural cav
ern, which had communications both
with the castle and the harbor. Just
when this fortress In Little England
beyond Wales" was erected is not
known; an old chronicler places the
date in the reign Of Henry l., but there
are accounts of its having been unsuc-
cessfully beleaguered by the Welsh as
early as 1892. After this We read OF a
.awless chieftain who. having heard Of
the marvellous beauty Of Nesta, the
governors wife, attacked the castle,
and carried on, as a prize, the object
Of his admiration. But the fortress is
chiefly noticeable as the scene Of a
gallant defense against overwhelming
odds during the struggle between
Charles ]. and the parliament. At the
beginning Of the civil war Pembroke
castle was held for the parliament, but
the commandants. Laugharne, Powell
and. Poyer. for some reason went over
to the royal side. They rallied round
them a considerable number of adher-
ents. who made repeated attacks on the
forces and acquired
moro courage in every encounter. At
length Cromwell appeared with his
army, but before his arrival a battle
had ensued in which Laugharne was
wounded and three thousand of his men
