Roma. PIebe,an Provender.

The Romans were great sticklers for
formal dinners. Their appetite -produc-
ers consisted mainly of egg salad,
spiced fruits, oysters, asparagus, and
snails in vinegar. Then, having stirred
up the juices of the stomach to the
point of keen expectation, they pro-
ceeded to realization by way of fish
principally mullet, which was regard
ed as the ''top-notcher" of fishes, serv-
ed with a paste prepared of the flesh
of the sea hedgehog reduced to pulp,
with oil, pepper, onions, dates and mus
tard; while, when the emperor was
served with the priceless liver, the dish
was but family seasoned with salt,
pepper and oil, and served with chick
en- livers garnee. After fish and game,
pork was the most esteemed meat
dish, and it was served in the form OF
a roast stuffed with sausages. The
dessert was formed Of fruits in season,
the luscious grape being close COM
petitor with the apple.

RESERVES IN JAPAN.

The Calling Out of These Troops En-
tails Suffering On Families.
Writing from personal knowledge Of
war, John L. Dearing says in the
World To-Day:
AS soon as the troops from the diff
ferent barracks had been sent for
ward there came the call for the re-
serves to gather and begin to train
The reserves, it will be understood,
are those who have at some previous
time spent several years in military
training and are now called from
their private occupations at their
country's need. These men drop their
work or occupation and at moments
notice go to the barracks. In the fam
lilies of these is the first suffering felt
In many cases the chief support Of a
family is taken away and no one is
left to support the wife and children
and supply the money for food and
clothing. In these places where the
sole support Of the family is suddenly
removed without warning there is a
condition of need Immediately felt.
The soldier receives no pay while in
service, and he has, therefore, nothing
to send home to his needy family. He
leaves them for his country's sake and
he hopes that in some way they will
be cared for.
The first work of relief is the car
ing for these families. The govern
ment is greatly assisted in this work
by foreigners as we'll as by generous
native subscriptions Various organ
izations have been set on foot for rails
ing money to supply this need. The
fifdeth anniversary of the signing Of
the treaty by Admiral Perry and the
Japanese was commemorated by an
enthusiastic meeting in Tokyo, in
which the American minister, Mr..

HOW LANDSEER WORKED.

The man who can accomplish work
at a dash is probably the one who
has spent patient years in preparad ton
Tor it. An enthusiastic English sports
man, Mr.. Wells, Of Redleaf, Penshurst,
had engaged Landseer to paint the
portrait of his favorite dog. But the
artist was one of those who put off
their duties as long as possible, and
one day Wells, who had been growing
more and more impatient, showed his
feeling by some sharp expression.
Il know 1 have behaved shameful
ly," said Landseer, ''but l will come
down next Thursday and stay till Mon
day, and the picture shall be done be-
fore 1 leave"
On Thursday he arrived, just in time
to dress for dinner, and his first re-
mark was: "Oh, your man tells me
that you are going to drag the great
pond tomorrow. Hurrah! 1 am just
in time. That is a subject 1 have
often meant to paint, and I shall get
any number of sketches DONE"
This was an unpleasing announce
ment; but the host bore it. Landseer
did a capital days work for himself,
and the next morning, when he came
down to breakfast, he said:
"Mr. Wells, l hear you are going to
shoot to-day. I've been looking for
ward to that for year or two" So it
went on until Sunday morning. and
then Wells, who was very particular
about seeing his guests at the early
service. said to Landseer:
Il suppose you are going to church p
II don't feel like going" said Land
seer. Il think you must excuse me" !"
"Oh," said Wells, in blaze, ''do just
as you think best! You know well
enough that this is liberty hall-for
you, at all events"
THANK you," said Landseer. "And
I am going to ask you to let me keep
Charles Mathews with me, to amuse
me-"
Wells vouchsafed no answer, and
away the people went, leaving these
two to their own devices. The min
ute the house was clear they hurried
to another room, which Landseer had
specially arranged for the purpose.
The head gamekeeper was there, hold
ing the dog, and Mathews assisted,
when there was need, at the same time
amusing Landseer. When the party
returned from church the picture was
painted, finished and framed on the
wall. Written on the trunk of tree
in the background were the words: p

pure consideration for art, 1 painted a

But Robson nearly destroyed the fine
fabric of consistency, to the construc-
ton of which 1 had sacrificed the
cleanliness of my attire, by walking
on absent-mindedly in the second act
with a smoking cigar protruding from
his mouth. Just previous to his en-
trance in the first act he declaimed his
speech in the wings, and from this l
took the key. which had to hold con-
