Pleasures Of the Table.


Heliogabalus surpassed Vitellius as
far as Vitellius surpassed Lucullus In
the art of expending vast sums upon
the pleasures Of the table. According
to Lampridius, he cost the government
for each Of his dinners more than
$1SO,OOO in our money! This statement
almost transcends belief. At one of
his banQuets was served an entree con-
sisting of the brains Of 100000 os-
triches, quickly followed by another of
broiled heels of an incalculable number
of tender young camels! In the days
OF Shakespeare good digestion probably
waited on appetite. Dining was a mat
ter of fact business, and dinners were
so lacking in the variety Of dishes that
an appetite was necessity. In these
days. as in the days of Vitellius, an ap-
petite is a superfiuity. Among the
high livers it is satiated, dull, dead,
wornout. Special dishes are invented
to tickle and awaken it, Lucullus, vi
tellius and Heliogabalus are among the
great departed, but their memory lives,
and even in this day and generation
they have their imitators.

sop~e Of the CT RS PeculiarI-

Despite the IL rs sums Tamagno
received the gre zee. had reputa-
taon for extreme parsimony. When
staying in Moscow he noticed that the
walters in the hotel furnished him
daily with fresh candles, although the
old ones had been bare.y used. This
vexed him, and, seeing that remon-
srances were Of no avail-the candles,
he learned, formed a walters perQui-
site-he began to collect the candles
himself. On leaving the hotel he gath
cred up the whole collection and dis
tributed them among the walters when
they lined up to receive their tips.
Tamagno's one interest on the stage
was his only daughter and her chill
dren. 1t was for her that he boarded
his wealth, which he appears to have
feared might slip away. With his
daughter near him. however, he kept
open house at his villa In varese. near
Milan. Once, In st. Petersburg. he dis
puted fee of francs for the for
warding Of telegram, but on hearing
that his daughter was i'll he left St.
Petersburg and 10000 rubles ($20, 400
to hurry to Milan.
In a Berlin hotel, after appearing in
'"The Prophet" for which he received
$1,25O, he ordered for his supper two
poached eggs and a. bottle Of mineral
water. Eventually he drew from one
Of his pockets bottle Of wine, some Of
which he poured into the mineral wa
ter. It was a bottle which he had con-
trived to secrete at banquet given in
his honor two days before in Prague.

Why We Have Eggs Within Eggs

Instances of eggs within eggs are re
ported annually in the live stock peri
odicals, both with poultry and pigeons
Such cases are examples of retarded
laying. The oviary channel is, through
some unusual exciting state, deficient
in lubricating fluid. The one egg, TEN.
porarily stopped, is incased in the sec
ond, which is thus formed around it.
This accounts for the abnormal size
Of the completed egg, which is eventu-
-jly evicted, at times with much pain
and difficulty, and occasions death not
infrequently through egg binding, as it
is termed. The condition may be
brought about by too much fat forming
element in the fowls dietary-Indian
corn. for example, as a sole food-or

''You have perhaps wondered how
the expression so long came to be SC
generally used by the American peo-
ple," said Columbia college lecturer
the other day. ''It is usually used in
closing conversation and is simply a
form Of 'goodby.' The NOrwegians
brought it to this country. In that
Land Of the Midnight Sun 'saa laenge'
is a common form of farewell. 1t
means the same as the 'auf wieder-
sehen' of the German or the 'au revoir'
Of the French. Among the early set
tiers in America were many Norwe-
gians, and the phrase was picked up
from them. They pronounce it with
the softened and accompany it by a
wave Of the hand"

The Sibylline Books.

It is recorded of Tarquin the Proud,
seventh emperor of Rome, that an old
woman came to him with nine books,
which contained, she said, sacred ora
cles. She asked an enormous price for
them, and when the emperor refused
she flew into a rage, threw three Of the
books into the fire and still asked the
same price for the remainder The en-
peror again refused, and she thereupon
threw three more into the fire and still
asked the same price for the three re-
naming. This so astonished the en-
peror that he bought the three at the
price for which in the first instance he
might have had the nine. These were
the Sibylline books, and their contents
were long looked upon by the Romans
as divine oracles.

The sago palm tree bears but one
crop Of fruit. Its load of nuts is it's
first and final effort in the way Of fruit
bearing. The nuts become ripe and
are strewn in thousands around the
tree until the great stem stands up by
itself, empty and bare. The branches
turn brown and drop one by one to the
ground. Inside the trunk the work of
decay is going on until what at one
time was a mass of white sago and
pith becomes nothing but collection
Of rotten brown fibers. One day the
trade wind blows more strongly than
usual, and the leafless column Of the
trunk falls with crash, destroying in
it's fall many Of the young palms that
are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before.

Ants are terrible fighters They have
very powerful jaws, considering the
size of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold on with wonderful
grip of the jaws, even after all of their
legs have been bitten off by other ants.
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
clnging with a death hold to one an
other, making a peculiar spectacle,
some with a leg gone and some with
half the body gone. One singular fact
Is that the grip of an ants jaw is re-
tanned even after the body has been
bitten off and nothing but the head re-
mains.

They Worship Smallpox.

II don't mean to say that they love
smallpox and desire it. On the con.

She has a cruel face, two mouths, four

SUPERSTITION AND GEMS.
Some Points About the Topaz, tn,
Ruby and the Opal.

Ruby and the Opal.
A Maiden lane jeweler speaking of
the trade in jewels said the other day
that superstition with reference to them
had serious effect upon the trade.
Some people will not buy or wear topaz
unless they were born in November,
and others cannot be induced to buy
rubies unless they were born in July.
1t doesn't concern many people about
rubies, because their price is too high
for most persons to wear them. There
are not two hundred good rubies Of any
size worth speaking of in New York,
but the topaz is abundant and Is not
dear
Then there is the superstitious objec-
ton to opals, which are regarded as
unlucky all the year around and have
no saving natal month to lift their op-
probrium. They do not need the su-
perstition to make them Objectionable,
however, because while they are very
beautiful they are also very fragile and
should be very cheap. Out in Austria
liza you can go out with a pick and dig
a wheelbarrow load in an hour The
cutting and polishing give them some
value, but it is something like that be-
slowed upon cut glass. Still they rank
as jewels, and when they are sold it is
for price. If, however, you want to
find their value offer one to your jew
eler either for a cash sum or in ex-
change. You will then learn what they
are intrinsically worth-or something
near it-New York Press.

Should Try some other Way.

Should Try some Other Way.
There have been few instances where
tariff legislation even of the benign
kind has not disturbed business, and
at times that kind Of legislation has
precipitated very serious financial and
business crises. There may be some
Inequalities In the Dingley law. 1t
would be strange If there were not.
Under it, however, business is brisk
and the country is prosperous. Its
general features have undoubtedly pro-
moted the public welfare to an extraOr-
dinary extent, and congress cannot do
better than let well enough alone and
make provision for the deficit in some
other way.-Baltimore American.
