Some Famous Feeders of Bygone Days A generation holding critical views on a mans intelligent or unwise choice of parents is not likely to In dulge in ancestor worship But there are at least one or two things In which our ancestors were truly greater than we of the present day can ever aspire to be Take them for instance at ta ble If ancient books on table eti quette are to be taken seriously and there Is no reason why they should not be the uucestor was In the habit of gnawing bones a la chien and of disposing of them by the simple means of throwing them under the table or over his shoulder lie worked hard with his hands In the dishes when a succulent but slippery morsel refused to come to him bj means of knife and fork lie used his table napkin for unspeakable purposes and his fork in utter forgetfulness as comb or tooth brush In one sense therefore he did not know how to eat Meanwhile in another he was truly great for the quantities of food which he caused to disappear at a single meal were noth ing short of marvelous The records preserved of the ances tors feats of the fork and the iingeri are woefully thin but now and again one of these very human documents in the form of a menu is unearthed and tells its own story Such Is the following list of dishes served in 1IJ34 to a worthy citizen of Valencia on the occasion of his taking unto himself a wife Across the space of close upon the six centuries the cranes and lam preys the peacocks and boars head of the feast made line display This is the order in which the fourteenth cen tury wedding breakfast was served MENU Roast crane venison lamprey Peacock pheasant guinea fowl osprey snipe pike Baked pomegranates burnt almonds veg etables lish Eel pie and toast Galantine of sprats and cheese cakes Peacock crane pheasant Crayfish boars head and savouries Figs medlars and wafers Wines Saint Jangon Branne Burgundy and Hock The Italians also were famous feed ers and seem to have distinguished themselves in particular during the early days of the renaissance The Bourbons valiantly followed suit one of the most distinguished successes be ing scored by Louis XIV of whom an eyewitness vote I often saw him eat four plates of soup a whole pheas ant a guinea fowl a large dish of salad several slices of mutton with garlic sauce two large slices of ham a dish of cake and dessert The threats of his physicians linally reduced his majesty to such meager fare as two plates of pigeon broth and three roast fowls According to Arenberg the great king was later in life subject to attacks of indigestion The little suppers in the reton of the next Louis though on a slightly less gigantic scale are still sufficiently im pressive The Marquise dArtenay for instance put before her guests after they came from the theater and before they Avent on to a dance this collation Pigeon soup with lentils and carrots Chicken broth Patties of fowl veal capon pheasants guinea fowl Sweetbread and roast poulets Baked starlings wood pigeons wild duck and snipe Cakes Sweets Fruit It seems a pity no record is preserved of what happened at the dance follow ing this supper party A Big Fan A good deal of royal significance has been given to fans They were sym bols of authority in Mexico before the conquest Queen Mary of England re ceived on Xew Years day in looG 7 fannes to keep the hete of the fyre Queen Elizabeth favored the custom that a fan Avas the only present a sov ereign could receive from a subject Fans have not always been dainty tri fles Jean de Balzac a French writer of the seventeenth century wrote from Italy during the reign of Louis XIV of the enormous fans in use there sus pended from the ceiling and worked by four servants He says I have a fan that makes wind enough In my cham ber to wreck a ship The Stone Vas Not Thrown Genevieves father occupied the pul pit Let him who is without sin among you be first to cast a stone he chose for a text Genevieve listened earnestly to the ensuing discourse At the close of the service her mother tried in vain to dislodge her from the ministerial pew Genevieve stood her ground till the rest of the congregation had passed out then she looked up with a sigh of relief Well she said I guess theyve all sinned Anyhow nobody threw it Xew York Globe A Thorough Optimist Father said the small boy what Is an optimist An optimist my son is a

KUROKI The Japanese Commander Who Is Vis iting the United States Despite the San Francisco school In cident and the anti Japanese agitation on the Pacific coast many pleasant at tentions were shown General Baron Itel Kurokl when he landed at Seattle on his way to the Jamestown exposi tion and the first courtesies extended him and his suit have been succeeded by others which prove that Americans retain vivid recollections of the heroic part he took In vanquishing the armies of the czar At Seattle Japans repre sentative at the Jamestown tercenten nial was the guest of the city and was welcomed by the governor of the state There were fireworks when he landed Japanese girls sang the national an them of their country and American school children covered his carriage WILLIAM OF ORANGE The Statue of Him Presented to King Edward by Kaiser Wilhelm Much attention has been directed to the gift from the German emperor to the king of England of a statue of William of Orange It is a bronze fig ure nine feet high and the work of the German sculptor Ileinrich Baucke who was assisted in the modeling of the details of the costume so as to make them historically correct by the kaiser himself A duplicate is to be erected on the terrace of the royal pal- yc sl m i ir a S3K AS ii y THrtr STATUE OF WILIilAM OF OKAXGE ace in Berlin The site chosen for the statue presented to King Edward is in front of Kensington palace and one of the buildings of this palace is the historic structure known as the Orange ry Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman the British premier could not refrain from a little pun when in informing the house of commons of the German emperors gift he alluded to the fact jthat most appropriately the statue of Nvilllam of Orange would stand In the neighborhood of the Orangery ysSa8Cv - fiSis wife v GENEUAIi ItAItOX ITCI KUROKI with flowers During the war with Itussia no Japanese commander won more praises from Americans for cour age and good generalship than Kuroki One of the characteristics of the dis tinguished soldier which greatly im pressed foreign military attaches and others coming into intercourse with him in the field was his modesty He has been likened to Grant in respect to this trait and also because of his per fect self control during an engagement Frederick Palmer the noted war cor respondent who was with Kuroki dur ing some of the fierce fights with Ku ropatkins men lu3 said that it will be necessary to depart from tradition I when the sculptors perpetuate the fig ure of Kuroki in marble or bronze He wrote as follows on this subject When the Japanese raise a statue to him I hope that he will not be riding a prancing steed and swinging his sword for he never rode a prancing horse and never used his sword To my recollection I never saw him make any gesture ex cept to salute The sculptor had best make him squatting and looking at a map while he listens to his staff and al ways all of his staff except the younger men the gallopers were at his side He could call for information or suggestions as quickly as the head of a great busi ness house who has a row of push but tons on his desk General Kuroki is now sixty two years old and is a veteran of four wars CYPRESS KNEES How They Aro Formed Trees Curious Blunt Ryots The cypress knee is a familiar object In all the lowland forests of the south but there are thousands of northern people who have never seen them and there are many southern people too I who have not seen them till they stumbled over them some dark night The knee is of solid wood has no limbs or leaves is anywhere from six inches to six feet In height and its rounded top and flattened sides give It very much the shape of a human leg bent at the knee till thigh and calf are brought together hence the appropriate name of knee For a number of years I was curious as to what part the knees played In j the life of a cypress tree writes a cor respondent of Forest and Stream for they are part of its root system and do not grow independently They were not sprouts trjing to grow into trees for they never developed branches and the final conclusion was that their only use was for people to stumble over How and why such useless appendages to the tree were formed was a mys tery until one day when drifting down a deep channel which had been washed through a cypress swamp the secret was exposed The eirtli had been washed nway from the roots of some of the trees and roots in all stages of growth were in sight None of these ro its was less than two and one hall inches thick and of uniform size clear to their tips or rather clear to thou blunt ends for there was no tip Nature intended three roots tu grow in soft uiid an 1 they wore all rlyh for thit purpose but when the Limit end of a rojl encoiiuteivd something too hard to push through it bent or buckled in the line uf leist nvitanco and this was gneraily toward tin top of the ground and the continuing growth of the root pushing the bend further upward made tlje bend closer until finally the two arms of the bend were clo e together and they grew to gether with one sheet of bark inclos ing botii STUDY Y0UH HOUSE If the Animal Has Mental Troubles Try to Remedy Them To begin with does your horse suffer from nostalgia or homesickness Most horses do and many really pine away and die from no other caube We can at least by making the poor creature thoroughly comfortable do all in our power to give his pain surcease and to make him happy and contented for than homesickness of the acute and chronic form men knows few more wearing ailments Is your horses dis position sociable or misanthropic You dont know Well why not find out Does it irritate him to have his yoke mate or neighbors eating noisily and visibly while ho does Is privacy evi dently his preference Very well then by boards or zinc or tin or canvas shut off both sides of his stall at the head so that he may eat in peace and live the isolated life which he prefers If he lays back his cars or snaps at his neighbors or fidgets and kicks at the partitions etc he does not fany company at least at mealtimes and he Avill be better do better and here the pocket comes in keep more cheaply if you cater to his fancy If on the contrary a sby feeder let him see others eat oven let him by a simple arrangement feed from the same man ger as one of his neighbors which is to bo tied up short until Master Dainty has oaten all lie will when upon al lowing tlio neighbor to partake the fas tidious one will redouble his efforts to eat just to spite the late comer at the feast The writer lias used this plan with many poor feeders from race horses down and always with the best results F M Ware in Outing Maga zine He Hadnt Changed a Bit The Smiths had invited the minister to dinner As the last course was reached little Willie who had been closely watching the guest almost con tinually through the meal looked over at him once more and said You havent changed a bit since you started eating have you Mr Cur tis Why no laughed the minister Why do you ask that question Because blurted Willie confused by the pairs of eyes focused on him because I
