A QUEER DINNER.
A Most Remarkable Meal Served by An
Old AnttquaTy.

/ Old Anttquary.
The most re -narkable dinner ever
served is the one recently given by an
OLD antiquary named GOebel, in the city
of Brussels. A description of the meal
is furnished to the Boston Cooking
School Magazine by ono OF the guests,
maziah Dukes, of New York. Says the
New Y Yorker:
"At that dinner | ate apples that rip
ened more than 1900 years ago; bread
made from wheat grown before the chill
dren of Israel passed through the Red
sea, and spread with butter that was
made when Elizabeth was queen of Eng
land; and l washed down the repast with
wine that was old when Columbus was
playing barefoot with the boys of Genoa.
The apples were from an earhen jar
taken from the ruins of Pompeii.

where for several centuries it had lain in

1t has been calculated that should the
earth collide with any body large enough
to stop its motion an amount of heat
would be generated by the shock sufi-
cient not only to fuse the entire earth, but
also to reduce large portion of it to

An English Dinner in 1910.

OF society In 1910, Let me speak
only of the wealthiest city class
the people who lived In big houses In
Bloomsbury or In the suburbs. They
had evenings" with a little music:
they were very decorous; the young
men stood round the wall or In the
doorways; the little music included
songs of the affection; there was a lit
tie refreshment handed about or set
out In the dining room. 1t consisted of
sandwiches, cake and negus. Some
times there was a dinner party.
The company were invited for half
past 6; the dinner, always the same,
outlets, haunch of mutton, bodied fowl,
and tongue, birds of some kind, and
pudding of one or two kinds. The
dishes were put ON the table; every
body helped each other; nobody drank
anything until the host had first taken
drink at dinner except sherry. After
dinner the port went around once; the
ladies retired; this was about half past
7 or a quarter to 8; the men then
closed up: fresh decanters were placed
ON the table and they drank port
steadily TILL 10:30-i e., for three long
hours. Then they went upstairs to the
drawing room; and, as II the port was
not enough, they then had brandy and
water, hot.-Sir Walter Besant I'm Self

The recent death Of Alexander Thay-
er, for many years United States Con,
sui at Trieste, has been scarcely no.
ticed in dispatches from abroad or in
papers of this country, and yet Mr.
Thayer was the one American who has
given to the world one of the most
mastery and complete biographical
works ever printed. The deceased was
born at Natick, Mass, in 1917, and was
graduated from Harvard in 1S43. Hav-
Ing special literary attainments he
spent some time In the college library
after his graduation. In 1S49 he went
to Europe, and for two years was In
Bonn, Berlin, Prague, and Vienna per-
fecting himself in the German language
and gathering material for biography
of Beethoven, which he made the work
Of his life. In 1852 he was connected
with the New York Tribune, but his
health did not allow of newspaper
work. Two years later he returned to
Germany, still intent upon his great
task, and worked for year in the Ber-
lin library. Ill health and lack Of
means forced him home again. but
with the assistance of friends he was
able to return to Europe In 1859. From
that year until 1890 his life was de-
voted to the biography He visited dur
ing these thirty years Berlin, London,
Paris, Vienna, Gratz, Linz, Salisbury,
Frankfurt, Bonn, and Weimar, worked
In all the museums and libraries, and
had intimate intercourse with Wege-
Ter, SCHNEIDER, Huttenbrenner, Chorley,
Neate, Potter, Hogarth, and other
friends of Beethoven. In 1862 he was
connected with the United States Le-
cation at Vienna, which post he ex-
changed for Consulship at Trieste, a
position he held for many years. Dur
ing these thirty years he labored con-
tinuously upon the biography, and the
result was a masterpiece worthy to
stand by the side of Spittas Bach"
for accuracy, completeness, and schol-
arly research. 1t presents a vast mass
Of new material, corrects innumera BILE
mistakes which had been made Ly pre-
vious biographers. 1t is a veritable
mine Of information and has become
the standard reference the world over
for students of Beethoven's life and
music. 1t Is an instance of his scholar
ship that he wrote the biography in
German. 1t Is to be regretted than q
cheap and easily accessible English
edition of this great work is not in the
market. No musical book is more need
ed 1t reflects the highest credit upon
American scholarship.

Some decisive action should be taken
to prevent the indiscriminate freezing
OF Chicago bar-keepers by cold-b blooded
thugs. 1t seems to have become fad
among these rapacious robbers to lay
away the dispenser of liquids in the ice
box before relieving the establishment
OF Its visible assets. At this time of
year particularly it must be extremely
disagreeable to be subjected to this
protracted chill and to be forced to
listen to the ribald glee of the gang as
1t empties the till. Moreover, it is left
too much for chance to determine
whether the iced ''barkeep" will be dis
covered in time to take any subsequent
JOY in life. If this practice spreads to
any greater extent it will be necessary
to heat the Ice box by steam or some
other agency in order to make these
holdup and cold-storage experiences
even tolerable.
