EATING in Old Times.

The Romans took their meals while
lying upon very low couches, and not
until the time of Charlemagne was a
stand used around which guests were
seated on cushions, while the table
only made its appearance in the mid
die ages, bringing with it benches and
backs. The Greeks and Romans ate
from a kind of porringer. During a
portion of the middle ages, however,
slices of bread cut round took the
place of plates. The spoon is of great
antiquity, and many specimens are in
existence that were used by the
Egyptians as early as the seventeenth
century B. G. The knife, though very
old, did not come into common use as
a table utensil until after the tenth
century. The fork was absolutely I'M
known to both Greeks and Romans.

The End of the World!

A somewhat learned professor Of a
French university met his class the
other day with the serious announce
ment that, since the end of the world
was evidently coming, he would not
lecture any more, but would devote
his time to preparing for death. DIR.
Ressinger, who is in charge of a
French asylum, states that a dozen
new cases have been brought in, raw
the earth, and hence reducing the
world to ashes. The Republican Ar
dennais, a provincial paper, reports
that in the Ardennes mountains two
entire villages are abandoned the in
habitants having retired to wild
gorges in order to fast and pray and
prepare for their coming doom.

To shield from every storm.

A man upright. Godfearing.

Who may no goal be nearing,
But does the best he can.

Kind words and fond caresses
Come from his heart of gold.

John o. Atkinson,

When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost
universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people Peruna is
their safeguard Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally:
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them This is exactly what
Peruna is.
