The Literature of GnstrOnOmy.
From Dinners and Diners.
The menu of banquet given in the year
y B. c.. at an ordination of priests, is an
example of the queer combinations TO
which they were accustomed. The first
course consisted Of snails, oysters, two
varieties of mussels, a thrust served on
asparagus, chicken, a ragout of oysters
and mussels, and black and white chest
nuts; then, varieties of shell fish and sea-
food with wood cock; a fllet of venison,
and wild boar After this followed the
main part of the dinner; udder Of wild
boar, boar's head, a frcassee of fish, two
kinds of duckiing boiled, hare, roast fowl
and bread. The desserts comprise all Of
the sweets found on the tables of the rich
at that time
Their motto was: "The more and the
dearer, the better" The cost of a banquet
was in many cases augmented by a desire
on the part Of the host to serve dish out
oil season. or rare. Vitellius once sent the
roman fleet as far as Spain to procure
certain ingredients necessary to a dish he
desired
The passion was not confined to the re-
mote ages. Verdelet, a Well-known gour-
mand OF the eighteenth century, served
pate composed of the tongues of over two
thousand carps, and which invariably cost
him $500
Until the fifteenth century the beauty of
Il meal lay in its cost and in the quantity
OF the food served. The only exceptions to
this were the Moors in Spain, who in thiS
regard were true to their instincts of re-
tn,ment and culture.
The art OF cooking owes much to Tail
lcvent, the chef of Charles VII of France.

However, at the conference of the day
previous, Gen. Miles had reminded him
that he had been rendered the most liberal
terms ever offered to an enemy that his
fleet was destroyed and that they Were
1000 miles from hime. Gen. ToraFs offer
could be accounted for in one of two ways
either that the troops were wanted at
home to meet a threatened revolution. or
that they wanted 20 get home and regard
ed this as the only means of doing so at
the expense of the United States. Wheth-
er Blanco and the rest Of the Spanish fore

TRAINING OF FIREMEN.
All Are Athletes and No towards Get
Into the dc apartment.


Firemen are athletes as matter Of
course. They have to be, OF they could
not hold their places for a week, even If
they could get into them at all. The
mere handling of the scaling-ladders,
which, light though they seem, weigh
from 1G to 40 pounds, requires unusual
strength. No particular skill is needed.
A man need only have steady nerve,
and the strength TO raise the long pole
by its narrow end, and jam the iron
hook through window which he can
not see, but knows is there. Once
through, the teeth in the hook and the
mans weight upon the ladder hold 1t
safe, and there is 10 real danger unless
he loses his head. Against that posi-
bility the severe drill in the school of
instruction is the barrier. Anyone to
whom climbing at dizzy heights, OF do
ing the hundred and one things Of peril
to ordinary men which firemen are
constantly called upon to do, causes the
least discomfort, is rejected as unfit.
About five per cent. of all appointees
are eliminated by the ladder test, and
never get beyond their probation serv-
ice. A certain smaller percentage takes
itself out through loss of nerve" gen.
orally. The first experience of n room
full of smothering smoke, with the fire
roaring overhead, is generally sufficient
to convince the timid that the service is
not for him. No towards are dismissed
from the department, for the reason
that none get into it.
The notion that there is life saving
corps apart from the general body of
flremen rests upon mistake. They are
one. Every fireman nowadays must pass
muster at life-saving drill, must climb
to the top of any building on his seal
ing-ladder, slide down with rescued
comrade, or jump without hesitation
from the third story into the life-net
spread below. Ry such training the
men are fitted for their work, and the
occasion comes soon that puts them to
the test. 1t came to Daniel J. Meagher,
foreman of Hook and Ladder company
No. 3, when, in the midnight hour, u
woman hung from the fifth-story win
dow of burning building, and the
longest ladder at hand fell short ten
or n dozen feet of reaching her. The
boldcst man in the crew had vainly at
tempted to reach her, and in the effort
had sprained his foot. There were no
scaling-ladders then. Meagher ordered
the rest to plant the ladder on the stoop
and hold 1t out from the building SO
that he might reach the very topmost
step. Balanced thus where the slight
est tremor might have caused ladder
and all to crash to the ground, he babe
the woman drop, and receiving her in
his arms carried her down safe
