Ancient Cooking School.

We of the twentieth century are y
clined to think of cooking schools a: n
longing exclusively to our day and gen
Grafton. Therefore it may be news to
many people that as long ago as the
reign of good Queen Anne a Mr.. Kid
dee had a school of cookery in Queen
street, Cheapside, and another in Hol-
born. Here is his advertisement-the
original is ON good paper, with a neatly
engraved border:
To All Young Ladies:
At Edward Kiddees pastry school, at
Little Lincolns Inn Fields. are taught
all kinds of pastry and cookery, Dutch
hollow works and butter works on Thurs
days, Fridays and Saturdays. in the att

morning at his school in Norris street, ST.
James, Haymarket, and at his school at
st. Martins lie Grand on Mondays, Tues
days and Wednesdays, in the afternoons.
What Dutch hollow works may be

When Doctors Were Slaves.

Romans of means had physicians i'll
their own houses. These men were
slaves. for, odd as it seems, many Ro-
man slaves were accomplished in liter
ature art and science. At one time the
selling price of a slave doctor was
about the equivalent of $500 in our
money.
After the time of Julius Caesar, who
encouraged physicians, the art began
to Gift it's head" in Rome, and later
men of character and position, though
generally foreigners, entered the pro-
fession. Some of them accumulated
large fortunes, and one made the equiv
alent of at least 100000 in a few
years

The Fierce Caterpillar.

A more harmless. inoffensive creature
does not crawl than the common gar
den caterpillar, yet this small worm
will put up an appearance so fierce
upon occasion as to brighten its enc
mics away. Soft and PUPPY, with no
defensive or offensive weapons, this
destroyer of cabbages and lettuces will
bluff itself into a veritable armored
cruiser and brighten many more for
midable insects into ungovernable
fight. It's method of procedure is like
this: Immediately anything approaches.
the slow moving, fat caterpillar raises
its hairy body, wags formidable look

strength and defiance, so much so that
it requires bird of a particularly val
liant disposition to attack it.-Chicago
