Must Haua Tired His Jaws.

1t might be well for those who adopt
the one meal a day system to become
chewers at the same time. A chewer,
according to dietetic experts. is one
who chews all things SO long as they
have any taste left in them. Clad
stone, it is recorded, used to take
thirty-two bites to every mouthful OF
food. This would be considered dan
gerously rapid eating by the modern
school of chewers. Il have tried
chewing conscientiously,' writes Eus-
tace Miles. "a banana has cost 800
bites, a small mouthful Of bread and
cheese 240 bites, a greedy mouthful OF
biscuit while l was walking on
Yorkshire moor more than thousand
bites. 1t still seemed to taste about
as much as at first, but l knew that
taste by then. so swallowed."-Lo

Immense Cost of Roman Feasts.

Immense Cost OF Roman TSaShs.
The amount of money often expend-
ed by the wealthy Romans on their
sumptuous meals appears fabulous.
Vitellius is said to have spent as much
as 404 sestertia about f4,22S of Eng
Iish money on his daily supper. and
the celebrated feast to which he In
vited his brother cost no less than
$50. 1t consisted Of 1000 different
dishes Of fish and 1000 of fowls, with
other equally numerous meats. His
daily food was of the most rare and
exquisite nature. The deserts of Lydia
the shores of Spain, the waters of the
Carpathian sea and even the coasts
and forests of Britain were diligently
searched for dainties to supply his
table, and had he reigned long be
would, observes Josephus, have ex
hausted the great opulence of the Ro-

in fact this was not only the largest
but decidedly the best meeting of the
Lodge for year or perhaps more.
Quite number of those present had

there should not be continuance of in

'Possums in Plenty.

(Ruthviile Cor. Martin Mail,)
Dave Sadler, living near the river on
.McGavock Avenue while squirrel hunt
ing, came to large oak tree in the
woods lot of the Reed brothers. He
thought he saw squirrel run into the
hollow of the tree near the ground.
On examination he found an opossum,
which he captured, and on further ex-
animation he found another opossum,
and still another, and another, and an
other. He continued to rake out opos-
sums until the number reached twenty
six. The following evening,
when Mrs. Saddler had the supper
table spread, having arranged q fat
'possum at every point of the compass
on the same, and called the family to
supper, Mr.. Saddler being pious man,
offered the following thanks:
.ssOh Lord, we thank thee for
'Possums boiled and 'possums toast,
'Possums baked and 'possums roast
'Possums tender and 'possums tough;
God be praised we have possums enough.

The Iron Crown of Italy.

The historic iron crown of Italy has played romantic role in the his tory of the peninsula. It was made in the year 594 by the command, it is said, of Theodolinda, the widow of a Lombard king, On the occasion of her marriage to a duke of Turin.
 The crown is of iron overlaid with gilt. It's significance was supposed to lay in the fact that the weight of royalty could never be frightened by its splendid exterior The iron of the inner portion was traditionally held 10 be one of the long nails used at the crucifixion.
 For a long time the crown was in the keeping of the famous monastery at MonZa. In 774 it was brought forth to be placed upon the head of Charlemagne as King of the Lom- bards,' and on later occasions it fig ured in the triumphs of Frederic " and Charles V. Finally in the pres ence of all the representatives of state. the foreign envoys and princes and officers, Napoleon Bonaparte sol emnly united 1t to the crown of France.
 The crown belongs to the state, and the custodian of it is the legitimate representative of the basilica of Mon. ga. The title of grand custodian" however, pertains to the head of the order of Cavaliers.-Harper's Weekly.

HE PLANNED HIS OWN DEATH
Ago EVaded Law Against Com hitting Suicide.

Suicides often adopt ingenious methods, but the art of the felo de Sc teens not to have advanced material ly during the centuries. The modern case of q heavily insured broker who on a feigned hunting trip stood bare legged in Quagmire for hours and wilfully contracted fatal pneumonia is matched in cleverness by one 800 years old.
 The following facts are well vouched for, and indeed were never Ques- toned, says the Green Bag. Sir Will liam Hankford. a judge of the kings bench in the reigns of Edward III, Henry ", Henry V and Henry VI. and at the time of his death chief justice of England, was a man of melancholy temperament.
 He seems 10 have contemplated suicide the greater part of his long life and during his later years the idea became fixed purpose The act was of peculiarly serious conse- quences in those days for the reason that the law treated it as q capital crime. The offender was buried at the cross roads, with stake driven through his body, and all his goods and property were forfeited to the crown, to the utter ruin of his family
 Hankford made good use of his wits and succeeded in accomplishing his purpose without incurring either unpleasant penalty. He gave open instructions to his gamekeeper, who mad been troubled with poachers in he deer spreserve, to challenge all respassers in the future and to shoot o kill if they would not stand and give an account
 One dark night he purposely crossed the keepers path. and upon challenge made motions of resistance md escape The faithful servant, ailing 10 recognize his master, fol owed instruction to the letter. as Fas expected of him. and Sir William ell dead in his tracks. The whole ruth of the affair was common knowledge, but 1t was impossible 10 establish a case of suicide by legal 2roOf The servant was protected by lis instructions. Hankford had hon. )rable burial and his estate passed o those whose interests as heirs he lad so wisely considered
