ANCESTRAL APPETITES
Table Feats of 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

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

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

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

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

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

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 heard pa tell ma youd make

took was the final means of bringing it
to a climax If I swept the floor or

to go and lie down but tho dull heavy
aching would commence again as soon
as I got up and stirred around My
