Lncul.us Not a Glutton.

z. Il. House is writing series Of
papers for st. Nicholas on bright
Sides Of History" The anthor says:
One OF the Greek hiSto' ians says
that the regular price of a meal at a
Roman hotel was about. ore quarter
of a cent. That was little before the
time Of tie emperors; but We know
that in Ira ans reign, two cents a day
were considered ample torthe support
and education Of boy. On this basis,
at q rough calculation, the money paid
for Calignla's supper might have snp-
,liel dinner TO" one hundred and
fifty millions OF people, il so many
could have been brought together.
~ call it wickedness, said Amy,
"downright wickedaess."
THAT was the o. inion Of quite a
number, even then, my dear. Lucul-
lus was often taken to task for his
;asiiga..;ty =, and several years later
g great writer named Juveuai spoke
his mind freely enough On the sub
iect. He gave dinners, too; bnt from
one of his bills Of fare, drawn un with
his own hand we can Gud what he
considered ample fer himself and
friend. His principal dish was young
kid, after which lie offered chickens,
new-laid eggs and vegetables; and for
desert, grapes, rears and apples"
Gle was no glutton," said Percy
approvingIy.
"No; nor was LaculIus,i in the lowest
sense, though he seemed determined
to make himself ont worse than he
really was. Ee always pretended that
he gave his huge ban nets for q purely
selfish purpose. Ee invited a party
of Greek travellers so often, and nj such
reckless expense, tGat they finally
protested and declared themselves I'M
willing to accept any more; hut he told
them tEey should not set it all down
to their account, for, though part Of
tie display was for their sake, more Of
it was for his own.

with the vulgar gormand;7ers of his
age, like yitellius of Com uodus, or, I
may sly, the majority OF the e:nrcrors,
most of whom look more pleasure il
managing Kitchens than in rnling
kingdoms. !Comi ian, the last Of the
twelve CasarS, considered problems
of cookery so far above questions Of
stats that on one occasion he called
the Roman senate together to consult

terranear. It IS 3uvenal, again, who

gushing British oysters does not
count for much. A good many Amer
leans could do that quickly enon IN

laps, il the oysters had sngar on the n,
which was one Of the ways they were
eaten in ancient Rome.

Goldwirsed arrows pierced the gloom Of

Bright flecks OF crimson rode the clouds and

Gave back with cheer the apples hue, the
pumpkins, and the squash.
Till dear Aunt Polly would exclaim, "What
aperfect daJ to wash!'
What steam Of incense then would rise from
dear Aunt Polly's tub.
Fer sun aad sky her heart gave praise With
each all-cleansing rub;
No skylarks note. no poets song, moro

She humned the while her linen white upon

Her kind old. face has slept for years be-
