Lawton of Saginaw, Mich. "At least they

that during the debate on the agriculture

eminent should furnish free to every work

not have the pail filled. We are already

The laugh was on the democrat, and the re-

all over the country.
THE lumbermen of the state have had a
very fair season, and when that is the case
our people may be said to be having good

1.-THE wearing Of boots has about disap-

Gardner, representing the boot and shoe
interests of Massachusetts,. THE swell of
the present day would look askance at the
footgear of his predecessor of a quarter of
century ago. The dandy of that day re-
garded his boots the most stunning part
of his attire and 1t was a source of much
concern that they should be turned out by
the then fashionable bootmaker. I expect
the broad heel tapering to the toe, similar
to ladies' slippers of today, which were so
stylish years ago, would cause a shudder of
horror to the wearers of the patent leather
creations of the present.

ROMAN RECIPES.
Dishes That Would Seem Strange to
the Modern Palate.

From Chambers Journal.
To the Romans belong the honor of hav-
ing produced the first European cookery
book, and, though the authorship is uncer-
tain it is generally attributed to Cactus
Apic,us, who lived under Trajan Ola ADD.
Here are two recipes from this ancient col
lection: First for a sauce to be eaten
with boiled fowl. put the following ingre
dents into a mortar: Aniseed. dried mint
and lazer root, cover them with vinegar,
add dates and pour in liquamen "a distilled
liquor made from large fish which were
sailed and allowed to turn putrid in the
SUM, oil and small quantity of mustard
seeds Reduce all to proper thickness
with sweet wine warmed, and then pour
this same over your chicken. which should
previously be boiled in aniseed water" The
second recipe shows the same queer mix
ture of Ingredients: Take wheelbarrow
Of rose leaves and pound in a mortar, add
to it bra: of two pigs and two thrushes
boiled an. II. Xed with the chopped-up yolk
of egg. oil, vinegar, pepper and wine. Mix
and pour these together and stew them
steadily and slowly till the perfume is de-
vcloped.''
The Romans were very fond of surprise
dishes, such pigs stuffed with live
thrushes; and. to anticipate a little, this
taste descended so near our own times as
the reign of Charles II. as witness q recipe
of that date for making two pies which
were to be served together-one containing
live birds and the other live frogs When
the latter was opened out skip the frogs
which make the ladies to shrek and skip
while the birds when released were to add
to the general confusion by flying at the
candles and putting out the lights. A dish
OF peacock was a favorite plat at Rome
and was served al the beginning of dinner
The bird, having first been done to death by
Sitting, was then skinned. the inside was
filled with the flesh of other birds and the
whole SeWel together again nd

IN HOTEL CORRIDORS.

THE people of Alabama, and, indeed, of
the entire south, are deeply interested In
the operations of Senator Jones' cotton bal
Ing machine" said Mr. T. A. Sanford of
that state at the Shoreham.
"rhere are millions of dollars now invest
ed In the ordinary cotton gin, with hy-
drauIc press attachments, and If these ma
chimes are to be superseded by the cylin-
drical baler it will mean the practical loss
of the entire amount Of the present invest
ment and the turning over to a vast corpo-
ration the enormous business OF bal1ng the
cotton crop of the south
This work is now being done by thou
sands of small plants, but If understand
the cylindrical baler it will do many times
| as much work as the old-style machine,
and this means the closing down of GER

laborer, which is another hardship with us,

and foot were larger than that of her
grandmother, later we noticed that she was
taller than her mother, and now we are
told that her very type has changed.
Dark or fair. tall or short, the American
girl has achieved one more triumph this
year, says the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can. She has taken Paris the civ In
which previously her dollars We're more
appreciated than her charms. After this
she may well sigh for a few more social
worlds to conquer All Paris has talked Of
her charm, her grace, her spirituality.
And how shall We account for the fact
that her face Is more oval than round and
her eyes darker? This is the mystery Her
complexion is darker, because she braves
bareheaded the rays of the most relentless
sum-. She is taller because she devotes
much of her time to athletics, but as to the
other Qualities one can give suitable
answer. The triumphant American eirI
