How Romans Took Their Food.

The Romans reclined at their ban
ouets on couches, all supporting them
selves on one elbow and eating with
their fingers from dishes placed In the
center Of the table. Each was supplied
witk>a napkin, and knives were used.
though it does not appear that everX'
one was supplied with one. Nothing,
It would seem, could be more fatguing
than to partake Of repast in such an
awkward posture or less conducive to
neatness, 1t being almost impossible to
keep the hands clean even with water
supplied by the slaves or to prevent the
food and wine from falling on the
clothing and the draperies of the couch.
This manner of eating disappeared
during the dark ages so far as the
couch was concerned, but the peculiar.
ity Of taking food with the fingers from
a common dish continued afterward
for more than 1000 years.

Cams Dry Humor.

When the gallant Welsh captain, Da.
vid Gam, was sent forward by Henry
V. to reconnoiter the French army be-
fore the battle of Agincourt he found
thatNhe enemy outnumbered the Eng
lish by about five to one. His report
to the king Is historic:
There are enough to be killed,
enough to be taken prisoners and
enough TO run away"
This quaint forecast Of the result OF
the battle at once spread through the
camp, and doubtless every yeoman
archer of the valiant company felt an
inch taller. We know that 1t was al
most literally justified by the event.
Poor Cams dry humor was equaled
by his courage. He was killed while
in the act of saving the life OF his
prince.-London Standard.

ORIGIN OF THE PERISCOPE.

Siege of Sebastopol.

Speaking of the origin Of the peri

writings OF the well known inventor OF

the clerical profession. Pepper wrote
soon after the Crimean war:
During the siege of Sebastopol mum
bers Of our best artillerymen were con
tinually picked off by the enemy's rifles
as well as by cannon shot. and In order
to put q stop to the foolhardiness and
incautiousness OF the men, very in
genious contrivance was invented by
the Rev. William Taylor. the coadju
tor Of Mr.. Denison I'm constructing the
first Big Ben bell. 1t was called the
rejecting spyglass. and by its simple
construction rendered the exposure OF
the sailors and soldiers who would look
over the parapet or other parts OF the
works to observe the effect Of their
shots perfectly unnecessary, while an
other form was constructed for the
purpose of allowing the gunner to lay
or aim his gun In safety.
THE instruments were shown TO
Lord Panmure. who was so convinced
OF the importance Of the invention that
he Immediately commissioned the Rev.
William Taylor TO have a number OF
these telescopes constructed, and II

MONSTER WATER BUGS.
One of Them Can Grip and Easily Pua
to Death a FROG.


The frogs worst enemy is monster
water bug which inhabits the tropical
waters Of both North and South Amer
lea. This water bug is one of the
largest aquatic insects. 1t Is called a
giant by comparison with other bugs,
but 1t is much smaller than any Of the
frogs on which it preys. Yet so pow
erful are its legs that 1t is sure death
for the frog that gets within their
grasp.
The two principal joints OF the fore
legs fold down on one another, and the
stouter of these two has groove
along its front TO receive the sharp
inner edge of the next joint, much as
the blade of a pocketknife folds down.
In the pools and the estuaries of
tidal waters these giant bugs hide
among stones and rubbish, from which
they dart rapidly TO attack passing
frogs and occasionally fishes. The vic
tim is clasped by the bugs forelegs,
and the deadly beak between its two
compound eyes Is plunged deep into
the flesh.
This is not case Of taking toll
merely of the victims blood, as in the
case of many other sucking insects; II
is speedily followed by the death of
the bugs victim. This appears to be
due to a copious supply of liquid from
around the base of the beak, which
finds its way into the puncture.
Professor Locy has traced this TO a
pair of glands in the head of the giant
water bug. Their secretion produces
death very quickly.-New York Amer
