ali are In place the servants come
round with i vessel. from which they
pour water over the hands Of the
guests There are brought IN small
tables, light and ornamental. one OF
which Is set down before each couch
for two persons, and on these are
placed the several dishes as they come
n order. The tables are lower than
the touches, so that the right hand
can reach down easily to them. Knives
and forks there are none. The food Is
taken mp with the fingers. II Is true
that in dealing with very soft foods
or gravies or In extracting things
from shells spoons were not unknown.
but usually the fingers were assisted
by pieces Of bread followed out for
the purpose. It Is clear that there was
plenty Of room for neatness and dainti-
ness in handling food, and It was no
small advantage to have fingers not
TOO sensitive.
There were no napkins. Portions
OF soft bread, often especially prepared
for the purpose, were used for wiping
the fingers and were afterward thrown
to the dogs which might be present to
catch them; but, apart from the dogs,
It may be something Of a shock to
learn that the floor, which was, OF
course, without carpet, was the re.
ceptacle for shells, bones, peelIngs and
other fragments, which were. however,
swept out at given stage OF the
proceedings. Conversation meanwhile
must be general. The first half Of din

larly fish and birds, cells &c they could
be gotl, comparatively little meat such
as beef, lamb and pork and vegetables
dressed to degree OF which we should
hardly approve with oil, vinegar, honey
and sauces.
During this part of the meal wine
is not drunk. The Athenians kept their
drinking as separate as possible from
their eating. Water is then brought
round again, hands are washed. the
tables are carried out, the floor IS
swept, a chant is sung to the accom-
paniment of the flutes, llbation of
wine is poured out TO the words TO The
good genius or to good health and
the second part Of the banquet begins.
The tables are brought in again, and
what we call dessert was for this rea-
son called by the Athenians the sec
ond table. On these are placed fruits,
fresh and dried: sailed almonds, sweet.
meats. cheese and salt"

HAS CARRIED U. S. MAIL FAR.
Vermont Carrier Has Ridden 125,Oot
Miles in Sixteen Years.

, Bennington, Vt.-Thomas Halloran,
of this town, has just completed his
sixteenth year as carrier of the gov.
ernment mails, after making 5,006
grips, each 25 miles long. This makes
his total mileage little over 125,O00.
; Halloran was appointed to the serv-
ice in December. 1882 Since January,
1890, he has covered his route in all
weathers every day but Sunday, and
The trip is no joke when the thermom-
eter is 80 or 40 degrees below zero
Halloran drives two horses on alter
nate days, and as he keeps Sunday
after the old-fashioned New England
idea, the man and beasts have always
been in the pink of condition. Only
twice has the carrier been i'll enough
to trust his mail pouch to a substitute,
and each of these sicknesses lasted
only one day. Thus out of 5,O0S trips
he has lost but two. Halloran attrib-
utes his good health to his outside
work, and says he doesn't know what
it is to be bothered with a cold or
any of the petty ills that attack indoor
folk.
If Halloran had kept on in a straight
line instead of making the small circle
about the town he would have en-
compassed the earth five times.

Proper Method Of waIkinu,

To derive any real benefit from
walking, the step must be light and
elastic; swing the body so easily from
one leg to the other that it's weight
is not felt. The harmonious play of
the muscles imparts supple grace
and litheness that is felt mentally as
well as physically. and produces a
healthy glow showing that the slug
gish blood is stirred to action in the
most remote veins. This manner of
walking, as may be imagined,
strengthens the whole body, giving
tone to the nerves and producing just
the sort of healthful fatigue which
encourages sound rest and beautiful
