FA10US FISH EATERS
The Love of Sea Food Was a Mania
In the Timo of Lucullus
Many famous persons both in mod
ern and ancient times linve been
known as demoted fisb euters Gatls
queen of Syria was so fond of flsb
that she ordered all eaugut witbln tbe
limit of her kingdom to be brought
to her in order that she might be con
tinually supplied with the choicest

salt oil or herbs There was a law tn
the city that forbade a fishmonger to
sit down until be had disposed of all
bis stock on tbe ground that a stand

and inclined to sell at a reasonable
price
The Romans inherited from the
Greeks their love for tish Romes sol
diers were fed on Ush her geuerals ate
Qsh her senators were epicures in Ush
more desirable than tish
Lucullus caused a canal to be cut
through a mountain near Naples to
bring up the sea and its fishes to the
center of the gardens of his sumptuous
villa The love of Ush in those days was
a mania The red mullet was prized be
yond all food A sauce called garum
made from the entrails and blood of
mackerel and other fishes brought
inquired which of us had given a twen
ty mark piece to be changed at the
station in Germany I replied that I

Come with me monsieur be said
So I alighted and followed him Into tbe

There I found that my change had
been telegraphed on and he had the
sum due me already counted out

In more modern times kings have
been known for their likiug of fish
In the reign of Edward II iu Eugland
sturgeon could be served only on the
kings table In France fishmongers
were licensed by the king Louis XII
was so fond of fish he appointed six
fishmongers to supply his table Fran
cis 1 had twenty two and Henry the
Great twenty four
Under the reign of Louis XIV fisb
eating became as popular at tbe French
court as it had ever been iu Rome A
story is told that when fisb failed to
arrive from the seat oast in time for
a grand dinner being given by tbe
Prince of Coude to the king tbe
princes chef an illustrious purveyor
of fish was so chagrined he ran to

POISING OF THE TROUT
Its Resemblance to the Hovering of the
Kestrel In the Air
As the kestrel is to tbe clouds so is
the trout to tbe crystal waters Both
kestrels and trout display that magical
poising as if suspended by invisible
threads only now and then when
cross currents are encountered is a
sign given to show that life itself is
not in suspense
A brief agitation of the kestrels
wings a swishing of the trouts tail
the cross current is weathered and
bird or fisb poises motionless again
And as when walking along we are
pulled up in ever fresh wonder by the
sight of tbe hovering kestrel so we
must needs pause on a bridge when
Forgetful there is a trout in the stream below
Absentminded Annette belongs to a ne looks his best noising with head

Or as we come to the bridge on a

RETURNED THE CHANGE
An Experlenco on a Train Between
Metz and Paris
For scrupulous care and trouble
taken to return change I have never
heard of anything that equaled an ex
perience of mine on the railroad be
tween Metz and Paris said a national
guardsman tbe other day I had been
studying the battlefields about Metz
and when I decided to get back to
T iris I converted most of the money I
tl left Into francs
It was a hot day in August siril i
uid class compartments itc so
wded that I decided as- we stjirel
at a town near tbe Freurh imrd r to
change to a first class coach There
was a supplement to pay aud tbe only
German money I had was In twenty
mark pieces The otlicial who made
the transfer did not have the proper
change and while I was waiting for
him to come back with the 12 marks
and some pfennigs that belonged to me
the train moved off and I gave my
money up for gone
About 11 oclock that night the
train stopped at a town about halfway
to Paris There was only one other oc
cupant of my compartment a man who
had got on nt some station in France
Soon after we stopped the door of the

A PATHETIC PARTING
Last Meeting of William Winter and
Richard Mansfield
The last days of Mansfield were In
expressibly afllicting and sorrowful
His condition underwent very many
changes his suffering at times was
great but slowly be gained a little
strength He bad for some time been
determined on- a journey to England
His passage was engaged for May 4
hut be was uot able to sail I saw him
on tbe morniug of Mn 11 1907 I
told them I would Me Willy he
safd even If 1 w re riy We sat
together tor siimi jin f lie did- not
speak much nui milu 1 -peak much
to bun It seemed best that we should
both pretend to believe that be would
soon be well but I knew that I should
never see him again When he did
speak it was little more than a mur
mured word or two His mind was
busy with the past Several times be
mentioned Jefferson and his paintings
Studies in green they are be said
Once be spoke aloud to himself I
have not lived a bad life Presently
I rose to go and clasped his hand and
said good by At the door I turned to
look at him once more He was sitting
huddled In bis chair His figure was
much emaciated his clothes hung
loosely about him his face was pale
and very wretched in expression and
I saw iu his eyes as he looked at me
that he knew our parting was forever
I went back aud kissed bis forehead
and pressed bis band and so came
away We never met again Since
then I have stood beside bis grave
Life seems to be chiefly made up of
farewells like that and memories like

BLOTTING PAPER
Its Discovery Was the Result of a
Workmans Carelessness
Blotting paper was discovered pure
ly by accident Some ordinary paper
was being made one day at a mill in
Berkshire when a careless workman
forgot to put in the sizing material
It may be imagined what angry scenes
would take place in that mill as the
whole of the paper made was regarded
as being quite useless The proprie
tor of the mill desired to write a
note shortly afterward and he took a
piece of waste paper thinking it was
good enough for the purpose To his
intense annoyance the ink spread all
over the paper All of a sudden there
flashed over his mind the thought that
this paper would do instead of sand
for drying ink and be at once adver
tised bis waste paper as blotting
The reason the paper is of use in
drying ink is that really it is a mass
of hairlike tubes which suck up liquid
by capillary attraction If a very fine
glass tube is put into water the liquid
will rise in It owing to capillary at
traction Tbe art of manufacturing
blotting paper has been carried to such
a degree that the product has wonder
ful absorbent qualities
Tbe original blotting paper was of a
pink color due to tbe fact that red
rags were used rags which could not
be used for making the ordinary pi
per as the color could not be remov
Id Flere was a method for using the
apparently useless matter and so for
a long time pink was the predominant
color London M A P
The Arch
The consensus of opinion among the
learned is to the effect that the arch
was Invented by tbe Romans Some
claim that Archimedes of Sicily was
the inventor while there are others
who would make it to be of Etrurian
origin but there can be ho doubt about
tbe fact that the Romans were the
first to apply the principle to archi
tecture The earliest instance of its
use is in the case of the Cloaca Max
ima or Great sewer of Rome built
about 5SS B C by tbe first of tbe Tar
quin line of kings a work which is re
garded by the historians as being one
of tbe most stupendous monuments of
antiquity Built entirely without ce
ment It is still doing duty after a
service of almost twenty five centuries
New York American
The Word Slave
An interesting instance in history of
the twisted application of the names
of a people is afforded by the case of
the word slave Now the Slavi
tribes dwelling on the banks of the
Dneiper derived their appellation from
Slav meaning noble or illustrious
In the days of the later Roman em
pire vast numbers of these Slavs were
taken over by the Romans In the con
dition of captive servants and in this
way the name of the tribes came In
time to carry with it the idea of a low
state of servitude the exact antithe
sis of its original meaning and one
that has survived to this time
