Food of tlio Ancient.
English Magazine.
The young were admitted along with tho
old to the public tables, and, although it
was understood that the conversation
should be of a kind to elevate the youthful
mind, it was not meant that the talk to
which they might listen should be made
common gossip. "Nothing spoken here
must go out there," the old men would
say to their juniors, pointing to the door.
By all accounts,, tho early Greeks were
vegetarians, and were strfctly temperate.
They were satisfied with tho simplest
fruits and their drink was water. Lven
when agriculture had made some progress
among them, and uarley-brcul could be.
had," the richtrl)5bplc preferred 'UufoM
condition of living. The barley-bread
must have leen a great boon to the poor
among tho primitive Greeks, seeing that
they were driven at times to dine on grass
hoppers and leaves.
Much the same conditions prevailed
among tho Romans, who only on festive
occasions partook of animal food, their
o'diuary repast consisting wholly of milk,
herbs, and roots. There canic a time,
however, when the Romans went to the
opposite extreme, and when tho whole em
pue used to be searched, as it were, to
turnish delicacies or noveltits for the table.
The Yorkshire pie of the past was notable
for the variety of its contents, but it was
simplicity itself compared with the "Tro
jan hoibc" of a fubh'onabla Roman ban
quet. This dish was a whole boar, disem
boweled and filled with small animals and
birds. Occa-ionally the "removes" were
brought in like a pyr.tmid, the dishes be
ing built up from a ba-e-board as a table.
There was not only extrautgancc, but
great waste at these banquets. Some of
the accounts that have come down to us
lead as though the object of the host was
to prepare, not for epicures, but for glut
tons. In one instance twelve guests met
to feast on eight boars, and boars at that
time were costly. Tlio name of Lucullus
has liecomc a proverb in connection 'with
feasting; but, in justice to him, it must be
&iid that he was not without method in
the feasts he gave. He spent money freely
for good living, but he was sensible
enough to ha e a scale of probable costs to
go by, and eventually, to sae himself nnd
Lis servants trouble, he gave a distinct
name to each room in his house, nnd the
purveyors could nlwa s tell by the room
selected for a feast to what expense they
were to go. Some extraordinary mixture!
were prepared for epicures. Thus Vitel
lus, in a silver saUer, uk1 to blend the
livers of gilt heads, the brains of pheas
ants and peacocks, the tongues of puenic
opters. and the milts of lampreys.
The 31edla;val ITInrkct-FIacc.
Lcn.lon Globe.
The medixval market place, whether ol
England, or Prance, or Germany, or Bel
gium, or Holland, or Italy, or Spain, ap
pears to hao played very much the same
part in the daily life of the citizen that the
nowiiiniMif ixwtca w-lxra trtjlnif 1li iw,i
which htirretl muf! blood, which stung i
them to action, which delighted, or ap
palled, or intercstid, emanated from the
market-place. The special correspondent
was there in the hhapc of tho herald or
mcxnger, with news from home or
abroad; the "society man" wus there with
his last bit of back-stair news or ale-house
gossip, or the tale of the last great crime
or disaster.
If a man wanted a situation, or a serv
ant, or a house", he went to the market
place; if he wanted to show off a new suit
of clothes, he went there; if he wanted to
hear of the last musical piece or the last
theatrical news, he went there; if he wished
to advertise, he went there; printed books
wci c rare and costly, so I hat popular fiction
was to be heard at the stall of the public
story-teller; finally, the market-place was
the exchange, the countiug-housc, nnd the
shop comuincd. The popular hero re
tcitd his triumph there, the criminal re
ceived his deM.Tls there; in short, what
ever interested the public mind radiated
from the mnrket-placc; and when the
public voice was raised, it was from there.
The doges, the seciet tribunals, the des
pots, the inquisitors, feared plots that wire
hatchid on the public place far more tliau
those which were concerted privily in out-of-the-way
nooks and corners; and the
tyrant, who turned a deaf car to the ap
peal or remonstrance which came from a
single street, found it true policy to face
fcrbetiringly Ihc clamor of a market-place
crowd. A. sudden, well-directed swoop
niiillit crush the plot of the backroom, but
to defy the market-place meant to defy the
people.
Steaiulns and Kendlnz Wood.
Phrenological Journal.
In an nddress.reccntly delivered by Mr.
H. G. Shepard, of New Haven, Conn.,
relative to the use of wood in carriage
making, he said that after a piece of wood
is bent its characteristics undergo a con
siderable change The wood is heaitr,
and its fibers have become interlaced; it
will sustain more pressure nnd strain than
straight wood in the same directions,
cither across or with the grain. He said:
"A piece of timber that has been steamed,
whether it is licnt or not, has its stiffness
increased. It is more brittle than it wa;
before, and for i-omo uses it
will do as well, and yet there
is a quality th.it the steaming, pro
cess nnd the kiln-drying process produce
in mucn the same way they both cook
the gum in the timber, and make it brittle
and stnf. . There is a kind of hickory Hut
never becomes still by a natural process of
drying; and one of the desirable qualities
of a sjwjkc, rim or whitlletreo is- stiffness
as well as strength. i.ou Like the hick
ory and it is ttic very best we have and
steam it, and it is better fitted for these
purpo;e3 than it was before. It is difileult
to tear apart a piece of bent wood; the
fillers are mterwox en, one with the other.
Wo do notpcrceive the change on tho out
side, but when we come to split the stick
open, we find that its character is entirely
changed."

"Susan," said old bachelor Beans, as the
servant entered the room in response to his
bell, "where are thoe little black pills that
I had? There was almost a handful of
them. The box broke in my pocket, and
I put them here on the mantel-piece, this
very morning. "
"Was they inn saucer, sort" Susan
asked quickly. ,
"They were," raid Beans. "In a
saucer, on the mantel-piece by the clock. "
"Howly mother o' Moses!" she yelled,
"I'm a dead gurrcl, sure. I found some
crame an' sugar on the table, an' I ate out
o' the saucer wid a tay-spoon. I thought

Peck's Bad Boy. -
"Say, what's thr matter
yeur bousrl" akd the Grocery wan of
the bad boy, ne came in with a big
banket and orf.jred a quantity of g;ro
c ries, "voa pa's grocery bill is fire
times at big ai it use 1 to be. I
thought first it was on. account of
Thankigivinc, but it keej.s piling right
up, and. you wouldn't order tho cheap
-nstsruatirst mackeralaud two ihilljctiU
tea Tor Thanksgiving. "Vrhati up!"
"O, wo are keeping boarders," aaid
the bey as ha wiped the mould olTsome
prunes on hie coat tail. "You see,
after election pa and ma had a council
of war, and something had to be done,
'causn pa can't get any office out of
Cleveland befor next March, if he does
then. So they coneladed to go to
keeping boarders, ma to managn the
bonis and pe to huatls around outside
and pick up the boarders, and collect
the money, and sort of boat things.
I have to do about all the work,
though."
"Woll, that is enterprising, and I
am glad to sea you pa settling down
to a steady business. Bat how does
it werk so fail" and tho groceryman
handed the boy a bill for the week's
grocories, with a request that his pa
would pay ai once, as he had to pay
his rest.
''I don't think it is a success," said
tho boy, as ha backed up to tho stove
to got warm, "and I guess it will.cse
ma up entiroly. You see pa hain't
got no sense. It he finds a man that
is looking for board, he hustles him
right hsmo without making any in
quiries as to whether the man can pay
or not, and vthen thrV don't pay, pa
hasn't net sand enough to bounce 'ea,
and ma has to do it. It is one con
tinued round of pleavuie between pa
and ma, each finding fault with the
way the other runs things. Pa got a
f9'" t? boani wUhtu",
d after two
weoks ho didn't havo any money, and
he borrowad nine dollars of pa, and I
lent him my roller skates and he hasn't
showed up lately. Than pa struck a
music teacher, and gave her the privi
lege of giving lesions in the parlor,
and she mauled the piano all day and
had a feller come and sit np with her
every evening, and when she 'came to
pay hor bill thnro was something
coming to hor. Sho charged for giv
ing ma music lesson, 'cause I used to
go in the parlor and stand up by the
piano, to turn thu music, and pnt my
arm around her once in a while. Gosh,
I thought she liked it, 'cause sho used'
to look up at me and smile, and when
ma told her to pay up, we owed hor,
and sho said she would stay another
week and board out the balance if ma
would keep her naughty boy out of
the parlor. Ma hustled her, you bet!
II a finds tho most fault with pa about
carving. She has tried to teach him
to cut meat thin, so thin that you can
see through it, but he carves just as
though we had risitors instead of
boardors, and ma says that will break
up the bet boarding houso in the
world. I think pa showed tho least
sense when he took the living skeleton
from tho dime museum to board. A
living skeleton is all right enough in
his proper sphere, at a museum, and
nobody thinks anything of looking at
him, but to have one in the family is
another thin?. Pa told ma that we
could make more money on ene living
skele'on than we could on four ordi
nary boarden, and that encouraged
ma, and she let pa briue him home, et
once, but, lordly, the first round at the
table convinced ma. The skeleton
eat as muoh as any four boarders, and
after dinner three boarders left. Tbey
said if they associated with the tkel
eton they ould he elassed curiosities
too. The skeleton is a darned nuis
aneo, 'cause he don't know his place.
When the music teacher was playing
semo tune and the boarders wcro sitt
ing around the parlor listening, thi
darned old skeleton would play an
accompaniment with his shin bones,
like a minstrel show, and tiTn muiie
teacher feinted and pa had to hold
her, and ma didn't like that very well.
One night pa went down to the muse
um and waited to come heme with the
skeleton after the show. I don't
know whether pa had been drinking
; or not, but a little after midnight we
hear an awful racket down stairs, and
when we went down wo found that pa
had hung the living skeleton on the
hat rack, and p,ons to bed. The skele
ton was rattling his legs against the
umbrellas and canes, and yelling, and
when we unbooked his collar faux the
ovor fcJhat rack and rtpk hira down, he' said
he had never beet treatau so in any
place he ever boAW. When he goes
along tho street people point to hjnj
