ANCIENT ATHENS.
esnqueting In the Greeian City In the
Time Of Plato.

In Professor 7. G.. fuckers Life In
Ancient Athens" the author gives this
as a picture of typical banquet in
that city in the time of Plato: when
oil are in place the servants come
round with vessel. from which they
pour water over the hands of the
guests. There are bought 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
in order The tables are lower than
the couches, so that the right hand
can reach down easily to them. Knives
and forks there are none. The food is
taken up with the fingers. 1t is true
that In dealing with very soft foods
or GRAVES or in extracting things
from shells spoons were not unknown.
but usually the fingers We're assisted
by pieces of bread followed out for
the purpose. 1t 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 arterward thrown
to the dogs which might be present to
catch them; but apart from the dogs,
1t may be something of 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

possible to attain, these new breeds are
usually valuable additions to the poul-
try world. The latest claimants for
popular favor are the Light Plymouth
Rocks. These birds are genuine Plym-
outh Rocks, with the shape and char
acteristics of that valuable breed. but
with the coloring of the Light Brah-
ma. Naturally the blood of the latter
has been used in producing this vari-
ETY.. which is good thing, for of the
many varieties of fowls now extant
there is none which when properly
treated will give better returns than
the Light Brahma. Indeed, the only
objection to the Light Brahma is that
it is handicapped by feathers on the
shanks. These Of course do not APP

Where Do the Cents Cor

Nobody knows what becomes of the
millions on millions of cents that are
minted annually. the production vary
ing from 25.C0O,000 TO 90,000OOO per
annum. They simply vanish from
sight and are gone forever. The phe-
nomenon seems strange and is not cas-
lily accounted for. People say. What
becomes of all the pins?' That is
easily answered. Pins soon corrode.
and thus are transformed into nothing
that is recognizable. A copper cent. on
the other hand. is indestructibe, COM
laratively speaking. But the solution
Of the problem seems TO be that cents
are subject to more accidents than any
other coins, They change hands ten
times as often rs dimes. for example.
and. being of small value. they are not
cared for-Los Angeles Times

An Eaq Food Formula.

The following formula Is one that Is
highly recommended as an egg food or
condition powder: Ground mustard
seed, five ounces; fine cornmeal, five
ounces; ground fenugreek, four ounces;
sulphate of sodium, an ounce; red pep
per, half an ounce; ginger, half an
ounce; fine ground bone, half an ounce:
common salt half an ounce; iron car
Donate, half an ounce; black antimony,
half an ounce. All Of the above should
be reduced to fine powder and thor
oughly mixed. The dose is one table
spoonful to each quart of mash food
and should be given three times =
