1t is the opinion of the true gourmet

to compare with the Smelt (OSmerus
mordax). This primary rank is its own
by reason of its delicacy and delicious

very fine breadcrumbs and served with
melted butter there is none that dis
puteS its pre-eminence. Its delightful
flavor, however. as we'll Us its peculiar
odor is ewaneScent. Like the mackerel,
it cannot be TOD fresh. 1t is from lis
odor that'the smelt derives not only its
familiar but Latin name. an odor SO ag-
gresSive OF sliced cucumberS that if its
presence be manifested only 70 the
sense of smell people are often deluded
into such supposition. This Odor is not

Such were the licensing laws in
BabyIonian cities some 1000 years
ago, and it must be said that many OF
the difficulties of the trade were even
then known and legislated for. The
clause relating TO the price of wheat
was in order to stop the custom of
cheating the customers who did not
know the regular tariff of corn fixed
by the law of the king AS to the
law relative to riOtOus or noisy char
acters ii was drastic in compelling the

of women connected with the temples

ed females.
