Use for Elastic Conscience.

Riggs and Briggs are two Montreal
citizens, more or less interested in
municipal affairs. They differ on sew
eral burning questions, but unite in
strong dislike for O'Flaherty (which
is not the gentleman's name). The
same O'Flaherty has a positive gift
for manipulating votes, and is capable
of looking after a larger band of the
faithful" than any other Montreal
politician.
IT'S men like O'Flaherty who give
this city bad name" said Riggs
warmly. Hes got no principles at
all. In fact. he doesn't think of any

Roman Cooks and Clocks.

1t is pretty we'll established that
the citizens of the Eternal City went
on for more than six centuries with
out any accurate means Of knowing
the time either by night or day. The
Consul P. Scipio Nasica, in 159 B. c.,
set up in Rome a public clepsydra, or
water clock, the first timekeeper in
the history of the city, waving the
ordinary sun dial. The prices paid,
even in the most luxurious days OF
Rome, for exquisite cooks were not up
to those of to-day, the highest salary
being 100000 sesterces ($5.000), while
some noted chefs of to-day receive
$4,000.
