Wealth of the Ancient Romans.

Some of the Romans seem to have
been very solid" while others were
fast to a degree not known nowadays.
When Caesar was killed on the ides
of March, Antony owed $1,000000,
which he paid before the kalends of
April out of the public money and
squandered, according to Adams, $685.
100000 Caesar himself before he set
out for Spain was In debt to the ex-
tent of $10.000,000. Lentulus possessed
Sc, 145, $50. Claudius, freedman, saved
$40, 5000 Augustus obtained from
the testamentary disposition of his
friends-some people will leave their
fortunes to their sovereigns-no less
than $161, 45S, $50. Tiberius left at hts
death the enormous sum of $10S 1884,
$50, which Caligula is said to have
squandered in a single year. Vespasin
estimated at his ascension that the
money which the maintenance Of the
commonwealth required was $1764,-

"Most gals lets the cream sour too

Randy smiled at this frank praise
and, to show him that it had not fallen
on unappreciative ears, brought forth

with little curved decorations marked
on it with the butter paddle. "How

Initiative Man.

Man is such an initiative creature
very observable even in the genus
simia Left in the deserts and night
coming on, the poor creature gazes
nigh desperately to see if there be no
human vestige. The print of human
feet is in every sense as a guidance to
him, as hope to his heart and light to
his eyes. His initiative viftue-talze
that away from a man you have taken
all from him. You have stripped him
not of his clothes and shirt only, but
almost of his very skin. He has no
tradition or continuance Of past into
future. The career Of human develop
ment, the history of civilization, ex-
tends to a maximum of threescore and
ten years. The man cannot speak. 1t
is thousands of ages and their dumb
struggle to express themselves that
have taught men to speak. If, as Rich
ter says, one new metaphor between
the two Leipsic Bookfairs be a fair
average, what length of time must the
building of a Greek language have
costl Stripped of imitation the poor
man canrot opuel, ha cannot even
think except extempore. What his
wild eyes can discern as they flash out
from him in wonder, In want, in thou
sandfold eagerness-that is his thought;
not a stock of thought at all, but
scantling of insight from hand to
mouth When I think what man de-
rives from imitation, his whole life
furniture, what he believes, knows,
possesses, his dwelling houses. his book
printings, his very tastes, wishes and
religions, can / wonder that the past
seems worshipful, seems divine?-

Stale Food.

Balaklava, in the Crimea, scene of
"The Charge of the Light Brigade" has
in recent years been discovered to be
the site of an ancient Greek city.
Much of this buried town, which is
believed to be the Chersonesus Tauri-
ca, the scene of Euripides' 'Iphigenia
in Tauris," has been exeavated with
most interesting results.
Besides the ruins Of temples and Of
homes, says Miss Annette M. B. Mea-
kin in a volume on Russia, there have
been found many things which indi-
cate that the city was abandoned bur-
riedly. Money was left scattered on
the floors, and bits of bread and other
food are found in disordered array.
Near a stone canal was found an
ancient hens nest, in which were six
eggs which probably dated back to a
period before the birth of Christ.
Three had been broken by falling
earth and two smashed to atoms, but
one was quite whole, with dried up
yolk inside it. Some careless house
wife had failed to keep track Of pull

Thousands of Russian tourists visit
the museum at Balalzlava, and as
these eggs attracted more attention
than all the marbles and other fine
specimens the archaeologist has fitted
up what he calls an archaeological
buffet" In a glass case are the re-
mains of the eggs, the bits. of bread,
grain and many other reminders of
Greek cookery, and about this the
tourists may be found grouped at all
times of the day, more impressed than
by anything else in the place.

cooky.
Jim Ben munched the coolzy and
Toasted his eyes on the neat graceful
form Of the red headed girl. He was
not given to day dreams. Still as he
sat there, he copjured up a homely
vision of dom este bliss in the log house
on the lower eighty. Mr.. Weaver had
talked Of renting out the lower eighty
next year. If
"Now, Jim Ben, you toddle along
out O here How you s'pose I'm ever
goin' to get my work done up an you
all the time foolin' roun' in the way?"
Not being able to answer this very
pointed question, he slouched out and
went to mend the fence around the hog
pasture. He was in such high humor
that he never swore once, not even
when strand Of the barb wire broke,
much to the Generalization of his over
alls.
When milking time came Jim Ben
sucked the calves, as he was accus-
toned to do, and then-which he was
not accustomed to do-gallantly
offered to milk the Holstein COW,
VIGOROUSLY hard mixer. He sat on
stool under the Holstein and MIXED
with both hands while Randy was
milking the Jersey. They kept up
running fire of repartee-"s ayin' smart
things" in the vernacular. They were
having quite an enjoyable time until
Jim Ben, somewhat deficient in fnesse,
made the pretended error Of mistaklng
her auburn tresses for the setting sun.
A stream of milk shot across the IN
tervening space. 1t took it fairly In
the face, and he fed in sheer terror,
fearing the bucket of milk would fol-
low. For two days he was in dis
grace, and then came the singing
school,
When the supper was done and the
dishes washed that evening, Jim Ben
made his appearance in the kitchen,
clean shaved and clad in Sunday raj
ment. AS Randy looked at him she
could not help thinking he was
really manly looking fellow, though
his mouth was too large to permit OF
his being called handsome. She did
not tell him so. She only remarked:
Land alivel What's the little boy
goin' to do nowY
"Nothin' much. Nothin' but take
the hired gal to the singin' school!
Run along, sissy, an git on yer things,
an don't keep me waitin'."
Strange to say, the hired girl obeyed.
Singing school was over, and they
had reached the front gate on their
way home. The stars were abashed
and pale In the presence Of the re-
splendent full moon. The couple stood
by the gate In silence for moment,
paying involuntary tribute to the glory
of the night They sat down on the
horse block by the gate. Randy took
off her broad hat and her glossy hair
reflected the moonlight in shadowy
way, until something very like poetry
awoke in the heart Of Jim Ben, and
he thought of the halo about the head
of the Madonna that hung on the wall
of the best ROOM He pondered for a
moment and then said:
Randy, I'll take back what l said
t other nightabout your hair, you
know. It's mighty purity hair If 1t is

She gave him a grateful little glance.
