A Study In Still Life.

A pair of large, travel-worn &. bro.
gans, with feet inside, reposed on a
chair which stood in the open en-.
trance to one of the senate galleries
during the drowsy afternoon hours of
Senator Smoot's three-day speech on
the metal tariff fortnight or so ago
1t was perfect study in still life and
visible from. certain precincts of the
senate floor. One of the punctilious
senators on the Republican side view
ed the spectacle for a time and then
summoned one Of the young men OF
the corps of floor officials.
Those feet probably belong to one
of the doorkeepers," he said. "Better
tell him to remove them from the
chair. Nut do it as politely as you
can, as he may be one of our old sol
dier employees. There is no need to
hurt the feelings of the old chap"
Here is the note which page
handed to the offending doorkeeper a
few moments later-after first waking
him up:
"Doorkeeper of the Blank Gallery !:
Dear Sir-lf you are sleepy we will
send up bed; if you are sick we will
send you home. Please shift your
feet so the senator's can get air.

ANCIENT ROME'S WINES
NEARLY FIFTY KINDS KNOWN TO
ITS INHABITANTS.
Several Varieties, Made With Salt Wa
ter, Were Considered Medicinal,
and Not NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Given Those to Be Tortured.

Nearly so kinds of wine were known
to the ancient Romans, including sew.
eral varieties used for medicinal pur.
poses. Falernian was a home wine
resembling the modern MADEIRA, and
was not commonly used until it was
ten years old After it was twenty
years old it affected the drinker un.
favorably. causing headache.
Other wines were foreign. China
also also called Ariusian, of which
there were three varieties-austere
sweet and intermediate-and the Les.
bian, considered to be the diuretic
were of this kind. Some wines were
named after their color, as white
dark, and red The white were thought
to be the thinnest and least heating
the dark colored and sweet the most
nourishing; the red the most heat
ing.
Certain wines named Myndian, Hall
carnassian, Rhodian and Coan, were
made with salt water. They were con.
sidered not to be Intoxicating, but
to promote digestion. Two wines
Cnidian and Adrian, were also medi.
cinaL Mustum was a term applied
to wine newly made, or the fresh juice
OF the grape. Protopum was the juice
which runs from the gri. .?es, without
pressing. Mulsum was mixture OF
wine and honey. Sapa was mustum
boiled down to third. Defrutum was
mustum reduced to half and Carenum
was the same reduced to a third
Passum was sweet wine, prepared
from grapes that had been dried in
the sun. Passum creticum, also a
sweet wine, is believed to have been
the same as the wine which our fore
fathers called Malmsey, the wine in
which the duke of Clarence, brother OF
Edward w, elected to be drowned.
A wine called Murrhina has curl
Gus history. The Greeks. had a wine
of this kind which consisted of pure
wine perfumed with odorous sub
stances. The Romans had wine
similarly named, which is supposed to
have been wine mingled with myrrh
1t was administered to those who
were about to suffer torture in order
to intoxicate them, and to remove the
sense of suffering
These ancient wines retained their
place probably to the end of the Mid
die Ages, but there is no reliable evi
dence bearing upon this point. Very
slowly the names, rather than the
wines, changed generally. The an
cient wines, even those in use in
Shakespeare's time, seem to have been
less charged with alcohol than the
wines of the present day. Even Malm
sey, the strongest of them, contained
only about 12 per cent. of spirit, and
Sack little more than half that
amount.-The Ideal Grocer.

MANDARIN AND HIS BUTTON
He Must Be studlous and Able to
Earn Insignia of the Higher
Grades.

II will be interesting to note what
effect the Chinese revolutionary move
ment will have upon the status of the
mandarian, who with his gorgeous
dress, the glittering button sighifying
his rank and his combined powers of
authority has always been an extra
ordinary figure to. the western eye.
Heretofore, however, the 'mandarins'
life has not been all ease and glitter,
nor has their power been unlimited.
1t has always been the custom to
promote them from the ranks of the
people after the passing of severe ex-
aminations. A man may win the rank
OF mandarin of the ninth, or lowest
rank, continuing the while at his
trade, say of mason or carpenter.
Above that rank he may become an
official, but is allowed only the salary
that he may earn at his trade.
AS a matter of fact the mandarins
generally enrich themselves from the
fees which they exact from suitors,
but In accordance with the doctrine of
the Emperor Kang-hi, the mandarins
are supposed to make the bringing of
lawsuits as uninviting as possible.
Kang-hi said:
1T is well that all men should have
d wholesome fear of the tribunals. |

obstinate suitors be crushed by the

savings out of which he paid his

homestead. The shack was sold to
good advantage. Then Mr.. Patterson
tells the story after he had removed
his family to the homestead:
For the first month life was SO
strange and new that l hadn't time to
think of anything, only fixing up our
new home. l was SO green to farm
life that l didn't know the difference
between wheat and oats q do now!

place. and with my gun, we managed
to live comfortably for the three
years, which time was required to put
