Cameo Cutting.

Before the discovery of onyx as the
material specially adapted for cameo
cutting the ancients cut them on sort
stones, eggshells and other materials.
The Greco Roman, and especially the
Augustan, period was rich in canoes,
and almost every great Roman wished
to have his portrait cut in onyx. One OF
these, an exquisite portrait of Emperor
Augustus Caesar himself, is perhaps
the finest existing cameo. Such por-
trait canoes, were practically indestruc-
tlble, except by accident. Some large
cameos-the Triumph Of Bacchus' at
the Vatican, the Agate de There" at
Paris and the 'Gemma Augesten" at
vienna-are splendid works Of art.
There was a change from the classi-
cal and NEUROLOGICAL designs Of Greco
Roman times to Christian themes In
the fourth century, when Constantine
the Great became a Christian
at the renaissance classical art re-
covered its lost position. Renaissance
cameo cutters were very skilled work
men, but in spite Of their general high
level they did not succeed in making
any very important cameo, although
the "Hymeneal Procession Of Eros and
Psyche" realized q high price.

A Legal PuzzIer.

Curious comments by a judge, even
in the presence Of the prisoner, though
extremely rare, are not unprecedented.
Mr.. Justice Maule once addressed a
phenomenon Of innocence in smock
frock in the following words: Prisoner
at the bar, your counsel thinks you in
nocent; the counsel for the prosecution
thinks you innocent; I think you inno-
cent. Sat jury Of your own country
men, in the exercise Of such common
sense as they possess, which does not
seem to be much, have found you
guilty, and it remains that I shall pass
upon you the sentence Of the law.
That sentence is that you be kept IN
Imprisonment for one day, and as that
day was yesterday you may now go
about your business.
The unfortunate rustic, rather scared,
went about his business, but thought
law was an uncommonly puzzling busi-
ness.-London Tit-Bits.

WHAT MEXlCANS EAT.
Grease Plays an Important Part In
Their Rich Dishes.

Their Rich Dishes.
The farther south one goes the
more important part meat seems to
play in the diet. In old Mexico the
people Of the upper class have highly
seasoned roasts and steaks and game
three times every day. The roasts
are stuffed with raiSinS, AMI rich
brown gravy is poured over them.
Grease seems more indispensable to
them than to the fur enveloped Es-
kimos. There are no broiled steaks,
but in their place one is served with
a half raw piece of tenderloin reek-
ing with grease and peculiarly favored
herbs. In that balmy cline, where
the system would be SO much better
off without any meats, thousands or
steaks are sold daily at IS and so cents
a pound. The poorer classes are forced
to abstain from such and live on the
coarse frijole beans and cold clammy
tortillas, which are thin white corn
cakes made from rye hominy crushed
to a pulp. This forms their UNMARRIED
diet. On the aristocrats' tables are the
most delicious fruits, chiramoyas,
zipotes, mangoes and others which
Americans have never tasted. The
popular aguacate is cross between
a fruit and a nut. 1t is dark green
and the flesh is about the consistency
Of ointment. 1t grows on tree Of
unparalleled dark green foliage and IS
used often in the place Of butter or
is made into 4 toothsome salad.
Rich soups, with bananas chopped in
them, are served every day, and vege-
tables dressed with goats cream are
on their tables. At every meal during
the year they eat the frijole beans,
which have been dipped into a brown
pottery bowl of boiling lard before
they are brought to the table, The
Mexicans eat enough lard to under
mine the digestion Of the stoutest be-
ing. Sirup is great delicacy and
very expensive. 1t is served as sort
Of dessert in little china saucers and
is eaten from spoons. Little bits Of
native candies are also served in sepa-
rate plates.-Far,n and Ranch.

KANGAROO HUNTING.

4 Daneerou. Sport In Which Thick
Brenstplates Are Worn.
Tiger skins, elephant tusks, antlerS
and a dozen other trophies decorated
the smoking room Of the huntsman.
You can't guess what this is,'' he
said, and he took down from the wall
a piece of curiously woven mating. It
was about two feet square, green in
color and five inches thick.
This" he explained, 'is the breast
plate that is worn in kangaroo hunting.
Without it the kangaroo with a fore
leg blow would smash in your chest as
though it were a pasteboard box. This
breastplate is souvenir Of an exciting

sYet this is an exciting and danger
GUS sport. The kangaroo when be IS
brought to bay will fight. He jumps
straight at you, like great cat, and
with his small fore legs he aims at your
chest two tremendous blows-drst the
right and then the left-and these
blows. with a speed and an accuracy
that no prizefghter could equal, would
kill you if they landed on an unpro-
tected surface. So you wear, for a

Eight huntsmen compose a set, and
each set employs half dozen native
runners to stalk the kangaroo.
'The kangaroo, on being stalked,
comes tearing over the plain straight

an express train, and he makes great
bounding leaps. One minute be is
crouched on the grass, the next he is
ten feet up in the air, and all the while,
remember, he is going forty miles an
