How Roman. Took rheir Food.

The Romans reclined at their ban
qucts on couches, all supporting them
selves on one elbow and eating with
their fingers from dishes placed In the
center of the table. Each was supplied
with u napkin, and knives were used,
though 1t does not appear that every
one was supplied with one. Nething,
1t would seem. could be more fatisuiDtt,
than TO partake Of Il repast in such an
awkward posture or less conducive to
neatncss. 1t being almost impossible to
keep the hands clean even with water
supplied by the slaves or to prevent the
food and wine from falling on the
clothing and the draperies of the couch.
This manner OF eating Disappeared
during the dark ages so far as the
couch was concerned, but the peculiar
ity OF taking the food with fingers from
q common dish continued afterward
for more than 1000 years.

Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending Aug. 8.
Des Moines, Iowa
The daily mean temperature
of the past week was 2 to a de-
grees below normal. The nights
were cool, and some of the nor
thern stations reported the
minimum below 40 degrees on
the nightof the 7th. The amount
of rainfall was very small, ex-
cept in a limited portion Of the
north central district.
The dry weather, with gen
orally clear warm days, made
favorable conditions for finish
ing the harvest of oats, spring
wheat and timothy (for seed),
and for stacking and threshing
operations. Reports from the
threshers in northern and CEN
trail districts indicate a fairly
good yield and quality of oats
and barley, with some local ex-
cepticns. Spring wheat is quite
disappointing in sections where
the acreage is largest, the rapid
decline in condition being caused
by rust and blight. Reports as
to the corn crop are generally
more cheerful in tone than
were received in previous weeks
Though late and somewhat be-
low normal in stand, the crop
as a whole has made fair pro-
gress, and with favorable con-
ditions in the future the output
is likely to be up to the average
of the past years. Dry wealth
er has checked potato rot. The
pastures need more rain. The
apple crop is doing we'll.
