Dinners Shortened by Law.

In the tenth year of Edward III. of
England, an act was passed to prohibit
anyone from being served at dinner or
supper with more than two courses,
except upon some great holiday therein
specified, in which three were allowed.
This act, if not repealed by Edwards
ronsal successor, Richard H., was little
attsnded to, at least on his part, as his
extraordinary and well-known luxury
an ply testifies. The Romans had sump-
tuary laws, by one Of which proposed
by the tribune Oppius) the ladies' of
Rome were prohibited from appearing
in robes of various colors, or from ex-
cesding in their ornaments half an
ounce of gold. They were also forbid
dea to use carriages within the city, ana
at sess than the distance of mile from
its walls. The matrons of Rome, after
the battle of Zama, effected repeal of
the Orphan law. This had been opposed
by Cato, and when he was raised to
the censorship he had his revenge, by

clothes, trinkets and equipages of the
