a SinuuIar Meal.

One of the most singular meals ever
eaten was that given to a select few
by All antiquary named Goebel in
Brussels some years ago. The bread
was made from wheat grown before
the children of Israel passed out Of
Egypt, and it was spread with butter
made when Elizabeth ruled England,
For fruit there were apples which
ripened before the Christian era. and
the wine was older than the white
mans knowledge of the new world.
The bread was made from wheat taken
from a chamber in one of the pyra-
mids. the butter (of which there were
several pounds) had been found in an
earthen crock on a stone shelf under
the icy waters of a well in Scotland.
A pantry in the ruins of Pompeii had
furnished the jar of apples (Which
were as sweet and finely favored as If
only n few months old, and the flagon
of wine had been recovered from an
old vault in Corinth. Six guests en-
ioyed this amazing meal.-Chicago
