Poisoning as q Diversion.

Poisoning is never likely again to be-
come fashionable diversion, as 1t was
from time to time In ancient Rome. In
B. G. 331, for instance, there was q
mysterious pestilence, which seemed
to be particularly fatal to leading men.
At last slave girl gave information
to the authorities, and a consequent
police raid resulted in the discovery
Of about twenty matrons, some Of
them of high patrician families, busily
preparing drugs over fire. They in
sisted that the drugs were not poison
Gus, but being compelled to drink
them publicly In the forum as a guar
antee of good faith, persisted miser-
ably. Further informations followed
and ITO matrons in all were condemn
ed. But this record was soundly beaten
in B. G. 1S4. when a four months in
quiry by the praetor is said to have led
to the condemnation of 1000 PERSONS

number Of business men arranged a
banquet for the team and few of the

and the vegetables arranged in the
shape Of diamond. The base lines
were made of creamed potatoes, and
at every base there was some vegeta-

"This dish was a hit with the boys,
and we all commented on 1t. I turned
to Jordan. who wasn't saying much,

The most interesting sight in the
Rotterdam zoo was the stork. whose
nest is set high on a pinnacle Of the
buffalo house. He was building in

A Dream and Its Result.

In 1920 terrible epidemic decimated
Marseilles and Provence, and Sardinia
owed its escape to a dream. At this
period the viceroy Of Sardinia dreamed
that the disease had invaded Sardinia
and that the ravages were frightful
When the viceroy awoke he was deeply
impressed by his dream, and a little
later a merchantmen put in its ap-
peararce at Cagliari and demanded a
place to berth. The Sardinia refused.
and when it was limited that the mer-
chairman wanted to land some sick
the viceroy threatened to train the
guns Of the forts upon the vessel If
the captain did not depart instantly.
The people Of Cagliari thought that the
viceroy was mad. but great was their
joy later when they learned that this
very ship, which went on to Marseilles.
was responsible for introducing the
plague into the famous port.

Roads of the OIden Time

A curious illustration Of the lack Of
any systematic authority over the
roads In England, even as late as the
fifteenth century, is preserved in the
records Of the manor Of Aylesbury.
A local miller, named Richard Boose,
needed some ramming clay for the re-
pair Of his mill. Accordingly-we learn
from "Old Country lnns"-his servants
dug a great pit in the middle Of the
road, ten feet wide and eight feet deep.
and SO left 1t to become filed with
water from the winter rains. A GLOW
er from Leighton Buzzard, on his way
home from market. fell in and was
drowned. Charged with manslaugh-
ter, the miller pleaded that he had no
place wherein to get the kind Of clay
be required except on the highroad.
He was acquitted
