ROME HOME OF CAUTIONS
Table of Ancient Emperor ViteIIius
Said to Have Cost Him
$500 Every Day.

Very little is known of the food of
the ancient Egyptians, authorities say,
after explaining that the dWellers in
the Nile valley were so fond Of their
cabbage that they deifed it.
The Romans raised a great hurroo
about the art of the Athenian cooks
they captured, history records. But
the delicate aroma Of the Grecian poi
was never meant to satisfy the thick
Roman palate. Rome, in its pursuit
Of physical pleasure, discarded its
cabbage and sought for rare and deli
cate YlandS. Polio, it is said. fed the
flesh Of human slaves to his fowls to
invest their meat with a new flavor.
Emperor Eitellius' daily market ex-
pense was $4,000. At one banquet he
dispensed 1000 kinds of rare fish and
1000 bird species. His table cost
him S20,000,O0O for one four-month
period. To arouse their jaded appe
utes, it is written, the Romans ate
brains Of humming birds. tongues Of
nightingales and roes of the rarest
fish.
Testamentary to the skill of the
Grecian cook is the story of the fish
which was SO much of a sport and
artist that he smiled in admiration

JAPANESE AVERSE TO CHANGE
Idea That They Would Take KIND y
to Americana Built Houses Proved
to Be Wrong.

With the double hope of business
success and social service a certain
firm in Japan some years ago began
the Importation of American-made
movable houses on large scale. The
houses, the firm believed. would offer
very comfortable and coy little homes
at reasonable prices to the salary-earn-
ing classes of Nippon and would bring
about a great Improvement in the do
nestle life Of the Japanese.
The enterprise, well-meaning as it
undoubtedly was, turned out to be q
failure. It was like an overzealouS
but enlightened missionary trying to
impose the dogmas of Christianity on
heathens. regardless of the latters
ideas, temperament and history. The
japanese have their own customs,
modes of living and traditions. which.
irrespective of whether they be good
or bad, are dear to their hearts and
hard to give up in a fortnight. Homes
are the most basic of institutions,
and house construction is the result
Of centuries of home life to nation
To try to induce the japanese to give
up their houses Immediately and dwell
In the American-made houses is like
trying to urge them to give up all
Japanese ways Of feeling, believing
and thinking, and to adopt occidental
ways of behavior. It is preposter-

BRIDE SCOURGEs HER MATE
Girls of Native Tribe of Portuguese
West Africa Enjoy Their last

The marriage market is recog-

Oyambo tribe, inhabiting a little
known district Of South Angola, Por-

The marriage festivities, called

stages, the first taking place in SOW

autumn harvest season. The marriage
able girls dance before the whole tribe
and the men select their mates, but
wait until the third stage before nam

which the dancing by the girls has
continued for two days and nights,
the prospective bride has a dried palm
leaf tied around her wrist by her pro-
spectiye husband. He then HOSTS her
on his shoulder, and carries her away

HOW BLAINE SAVED GARFIELD
Small Circumstance That for the
Time Preserved the President
From Assassin's Blow.

Due to the seemingly small detail
that he was admitted promptly to the
home of Secretary Blaine when call
ing the evening preceding the Presi-
dents assassination, James A. Gar
field probably owes his lease Of life
for L hours longer.
On the evening CT July 2, 1881, the
President, as he approached the
Blaine home, was espied by the secre-
tary, who was seated at q window.
Blaine hurried to the door and had
it opened when Garfield arrived at
the threshold. In the light of evil
dence brought out at the trial, Gui-
teau was logging the Presidents foot
steps that evening and intended to
IRE when he waited for the Blaine
door to be opened.
Blaine walked home with the Pres
ident, and the assassin, again living in
wait, could not bring himself to fire in
the dual presence. Before the two
parted it was arranged that Blaine
should accompany the President next
morning to the railway station. The
President intended to leave for VIII
Hams college to attend an anniversary
celebration.
Soon after the arrival of the presi-
dental party at the waiting room Of
the old Sixth street station Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, Sixth and B
streets, Guiteau fired the shot that
caused Garhelds death.

FEMINISTS ARISE IN PERSIA

That feminine fashions will not be

the government acquiesced. That
women may appear on the streets of
Persia without the veil imposed by
the state religion is regarded over
there as a great triumph in the eman-

Professor Fazel, who holds the chair
OF philosophy in the only university
for women in Persia, spoke in musical
Persian, his sentences being inter-
preted as he went along by Mira All
mad Sohrab, former secretary of the
Persian legation at Washington, and
likewise a believer in the emancipa-

are followers of the Bahia philosophy,

Strive to Excel.

You are not true to yourself when
you are satisfied with doing what 9TH
ers have done. You may by nature
be fitted for very much greater work
than your neighbors. You may also
be short on some points wherein they
are strong. In either case it would
not be fair to measure yourself by
them. There are certain things you
can surpass in. In these you should
greatly excel If you attain your pos
sibilities. So measure yourself In the
light Of your ability and the oppor-
tunities offered by the problem. Then
put yourself to the task Of hitting off
100 per cent efficiency in every at
tempt. OF course you will find it hard.

munity would be doing what you are
trying to do. So look for results and
see that you get them.-Exchange.

MATERNITY HOSPITALS

For the suffering womanhood of the
world the Salvation Army has estab.
lished chain Of Maternity Hospitals,
where the girls, betrayed, deserted,
without money, home and friends, may
find refuge and medical attention.
While here, every effort is put forth
toward their egeneration-the first
step in which is the future care of
their babies. When physically fit to
go out, they are sent out to situations
with their babies, which they are
urged to keep and support, or they are
sent back to their parents and friends
During the past year 1903 were re-
ceived into these homes of whom 640S,
or 80 per cent, returned to self sus.
tanning lives Of responsibility.
Another feature of the Maternity
Hospital is that section set apart for
the respectable woman of moderate cir.
cumstances who may here obtain a
room and the attention and nursing
during her confinement at a low
charge, that she could not possibly af.
ford in the regular hospitals.
The Salvation Army has also created
a little club in each Rescue Home and
Maternity Hospital by means of which
it is able to keep in touch with the
girls who have found haven in these
hospitals in their time of great trouble.
This is called the 'Out-of-Love-C Circle
and its members are the girls whose
little nameless babies first saw light of
day in a Salvation Army Maternity
Hospital.
They meet once a month in each of
