ROMANS HAD MANY SLAVES
Hundreds Of Servants Whose Du- ~
ties Were Manifold.

The Roman deprived himself of
many private comforts that he might
make a rich display before his guests.
The wealthy mans dwelling was very
large; the so-called House of the Faun
at Pompeii occupies an entire square,.
that of the Roman noble usually cov-
cred far greater area.
The care of lordly residence re-
quired the service of multitude of
slaves; we hear of man who in the
country and city together employed
more than four thousand. They were
organized somewhat like an army, in
divisions and companies under their
several overseers. Each servant had
as his special duty some minute part
Of the household work. Many were
needed for the ceremonies attending
the admission of guests, many for the
care of the baths, bedrooms, kitchen
and dining rooms, as well as for the
war3robes, toilet and personal serv

QUEUE COSTLY TO CHINESE
Figures Show How Much Money

The present movement in China for
aging the statisticians to show the
Chinese what saving 1t will be to
them 1t seems the combing and
braiding of the queue takes every day
fifteen minutes of the best hours of
every man in China, and perhaps
twice that much of the BARRIERS time.
Although time is cheap in China, it is
worth on the average at least pence
a day and so every mans queue costs
him about a half penny day. Multi
ply this by the number OF males above
Is in the country-say 100,000,000-
and by the number of days in the
year, and you get about G73,000,000,
Besides this cash value of time saved
the actual cost of the material used
must also be taken into account. A
moderte estimate of the sum spent
every year by each individual on
queue cords, etc.. is e4,000,000 per
annum for the whole country. 1t is
also reckoned that the queue short.
ems the life of mans coat or gown
by about one-tenth, and another ga,
100000 would be saved on this head
There would be other economies, too;
but these alone would mean saving
Of GS1,000000 a year. 1t seems the
wearing Of the queue is quite mod
ern thing. 1t was insisted on in 1914
by the Manchu conquerors, and was
resisted to the death by many Chinese
patriots. Just as many now, probably,
would resist its abolition.

JOS. TRESTIK. A CENTENARIAN.

JOS Trestik, Sr. celebrated his GEN.
tenary at his home in this city last
week. He was born in Bohemia and
has authentic documentary proof that
he was born in March, 1872. Most
claims OF very advanced age cannot be
substantiated but that Mr.. Trestik has
completed the century is shown be-
yond doubt. He came to Manitowoc in
1857 and was for many years a promi-
nent building contractor. To live 30
years after retiring from business on
account of advancing age is his UNI
usual experience. The old gentleman
is in good health and apparently has
many years before him.
