ROMAN WEALTH AND WASTE
Pearls DtaMlveg la Wlae *■< a Ma
lay at Dlaaara For Mark Aatoay.
E. EL House, writing on "Bright
Sides of History" in St. Nicholas, tells
thia story of ancient extravagance:
"The pear) which Cleopatra drank
to Antony's health was valued at nearly
|400,000, so at one mouthful she dis
posed of m much as the cost of Cali
gtfJa’s rapper. I suppose that was the
most valuable pearl we have any knowl
edge of. Though Julius Caasar owned
one worth 6250,000, which he gave to
the mother of BrtrtUs—thusame Brutus
who afterward helped to kill Cesar.
Pearls seem to have held out parttaa
lar temptrftlntfs- people whb took
pleasure in wasteful follies; perhaps be
08D* *y ber Fwoi could be so easily
"Cleopatra’s prank was not the first
of its kind. The same absurdity had
been committed by it silly fellow in
Rome named JSsop— not your favorite
fable teller, for lived centuries
earlier, and was a very wise man. Th*
Roman JEsop was the son of a rich act
or, and, just to make himself talked
about, he took a pearl from the eardrop
,3f Cmcilia, the wife of the tyrant Syila,
and, according to writers of ttratage,
drank it in vinegav; I IteHevij that the
possibility of distorting this kind of
gem is disputed by many modehj au
thorities, but the ancients appear to
have had no doubt on the subject, for
the instances recorded by them were
numerous and were Attested by men of
scientific standfag A JapSoeSe-natural
ist, who ha* sthdted pearls minutely,
states that he has found them of such
various quality and structure that the
existence of specimens which might be
melted does not seem to him inoonoeiv
able. Bui Whether JCsop liquefied his
pearl or not the performance certainly
cost him a sum equivalent to <40,000
quite enough, though nothing in com
parison with what Cleopatra SCfuahder
ed. Hers was the Wildest pioc® of ex
travkguhee that 1 can recall.
“It was the fashion to be extravagant
then. Mary Antony was not ftt behind
the Egpytian queen in that respect,
though his fancy was not for beverages
flavored by trinkets. Substantial food
was more in his line. A visitor who
once went into the kitchen of his palace
in Alexandria aaw eight wild boars
roasting at the same time and thought
there must be an immense number of
guests expected, but the cook told him
only 12 persons would dine that day,
and the reason of the extensive prepara
tions was that no one could aay exactly
when Antony would go to the table.
But whenever he gave the signal the
meat must be just in proper condition
at that moment So it was the rale to
get ready a series of dinners, overlap
ping one another, you might say, at in
tervals of 15 or 20 minute* Only one
could be eaten, and the rest were wasted,
butlhe waste did not matter. Antony
was ..ever kept Waiting, and that, in
his opinion, was the thing to be consid
ered. ”

Probably no pleasure of life has had
its praises so much rang as smoking.
Here is the other side. Doctors say
tobacco used in excess produces:
Palpitation of the heart, muscular
tremblings, weakness and paralysis of
the legs, dizziness of the head, noises
in the eats, cold perspiration all over
the body, colicky pains in the stomach,
inability to exert the mind, congested
and sore throat, burning of the tongue,
dry and parched mouth, tartar and
blackness of the teeth, confusion of
sight, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh
of the throat and nose, sallow complex
ion, very bad dyspepsia, lopsided
mouth, nervous anxiety, cancer of the
lips, diminished appetite, pale and
anaemic gums, loss of memory, omis
sion of every fifth pulse bant, rain of
the Wrtll power, irritability of temper,
extreme and incurable melancholy, rest
lessness and sleeplessness, blindness and
deafness, apoplexy and paralysis, con
vulsions and death.
In the case Os children it stunts their
growth, when a person is consumptive
it hastens his death, when the heart Is
weak it almost completely stops the
beating, when you have a cough tobac
co keeps it going for weeks, and it in
terferes with singing and swallowing..

Worthy of Whistler.
As an artist Jack Gamble is consider
ed as independent as he is successful.
He possesses an unlimited quantity of
candor, upon the expression of which
he places no restraint. He is much
liked notwithstanding, and was not
long ago offered a commission to paint
the portrait of a certain wealthy man,
whose features are more remarkable for
their bloom than for their refinement.
Jack critically scanned the broad fea
tures of his proposed subject
"Upon one condition will I paint
you,’’ he declared dramatically.
“What!" gasped the amazed Croesus,
speechless at the effrontery of this pov
erty stricken artist.
“Yes,” pursued Gamble, with easy
grace. “Upon condition that I shall be
allowed to put Id a little intelligence.**
And the funny part of it was that
Jack got the commission.—San Fran

OLD BAILEY DOOMED.
The Fasaeue Criminal LaagWUtate «f
LaaAaa !• to Be Remove*.
_-Aimart every one has hoard of the jail
of Newgate and the Old Bailey soMlons
house In London. Novslista have told of
them an! travelers have made a point of
seeing thorn, and now the historic old
buildings are to be pulled down to admit
of the bull&ng of a grand new eeestaM
bourn oi» the ground they now occupy.
Newgate marks the site of an entrance
Into a Roman city. The gate was made
in the ww aldo of the later city waU. Da
William toe Conqueror’s time a gate
known as "chamberlain,” or the “cham
berlain's gate,”steed acMNB theetree* be
tween Warwick lane and the present pris
on. That gate, rebuilt in the reign of
Henry II or his suooeeeor, was in the reign
of Henry 111 in common use as a prison.
In the year 1400 Henry IV committed It
by charter to the care of -the corporation.
Sir Richard Whittington, moved by the
ruinous state of the fabric and the terrible
state of the jail, instructed his executors
to rebuild the gate, which was done upon
the customary plan.
After undergoing an addition, repairs
and refronting at various periods the old
bniiding gave way to new ones designed
by George Danoe, R. A., the first stone of
which was laid by Lord Mayor Beckford
on May 81, 1770. Before they were finished
they were pillaged and burned on June 6
and 7, 1780, by the "no popery” rioters.
Afterward a sum of £BO,OOO was devoted
to repairing and so forth. On the open
ing of Whitecroes street prison, in 1815,
Newgate ceased to be used for debtors, and
since 1882 it has been used only for prison
ers awaiting trial during sessions and for
those condemned to death.
The present sessions house, next to the
jail, consists of two courts, the old and
the new. The first mentioned is for the
more serious oases. It is lighted from the
north and has a gloomy and sinister as
pect. The first sessions house was that of
Stowe’s time, and, singular to say, the
trial court was open to the street, the back
looking northward. It was succeeded by a
courthouse erected in 1773 and destroyed
in the “no popery” riots above alluded to,
but rebuilt and enlarged in 1809 by the
addition of the site of old Surgeons’ hall,
where the bodies of malefactors were tak
en for dissection immediately after execu
tion.
The new sessions house will be rebuilt
from plans prepared by Mr. Andrew Mur
ray, the city surveyor, and will be carried
out at an estimated cost of £120,000. —
London Chronicle.
Silk From Sheila.
That silk may be produced from certain
mussels or shells is a fact long known,
but only recently renewed attention was
called to the matter by the receipt at the
Berlin Royal museum of a pair of golden
brown silk gloves made of bysaus silk.
This silk is obtained from the small silky
tufts protruding from the byssus shell,
which they use for holding fast to the
ground or rock under water. This fiber
is silky, and changes in color from green
ish yellow to dark brown. The single
threads are from two to three inches long,
and after being cleaned and dried they are
spun into yarn.
Byssus silk woven into material is still
• great curiosity, for the supply of ma
terial Is so scarce that Industrial develop
ment of the manufacture is out of the
question. Only in certain small settle
ments on the coast of Sicily there is some
effort to work with this material, the
shell used being the so called Pinna.
Fishermen tear the shells with nets from
the rocks, and, after cutting the tufts, re
turn them to basins of shallow water.
The tuft will grow again within a year.
It takes between 8,000 and 4,000 shells to
obtain a pound of the fiber.—Pittsburg
Dispatch. ,I''
The Holy See Out of Debt.
The holy see is entirely out of debt, the
indebtedness that existed at the death of
Pius IX having been paid by the present
pope. The Vatican budget shows every
year a slight surplus. It is not certain
how much has been received by Leo XIII
for his private benefit, but the value of the
presents made to him during his reign is
believed to be quite £2,000,000. Pius IX
may have received more, but this is diffi
cult to judge, as he gave away his presents
as freely as he received them.
Leo XIII, on the contrary, has kept
them all, and they are so many that they
Will perhaps be collected and placed in a
museum. He has received, for instance,
28 tiarhs adorned with precious stones, 819
crosses of gold set with diamonds and oth
er gems, 1,200 chalices in gold and silver,
81 rings, of which one given by the sultan
Is worth £20,000; 16 pastoral staves of
gold, set with precious stones; 884 osten
soria in gold and silver, seven statues in
gold and silver, nearly 1,000 objets d'art
and a very large diamond presented by
President Kruger worth £BOO,OOO. —New
York Tribune.
Life la Csrvite.
General Merritt’s private secretary
Writes to a friend in Washington:
"Cavite is a strange looking place. The
streets are narrow, houses only one story l
high, and the horses are but mere ponies.
They are driven to funny little two wheel
contrivances. Another man and myself
drove around in one of these carts yester
day afternoon, and all it cost us for the
two hours we had it was 80 cents, Mead
can ; 15 cents, American. Notwithstand
ing this low charge, clothes and the like
have gone up in price, although I ordered
a linen suit, and the price is to be 67,
Mexican; 83.50, American.
“The rainy season is now on, and when
U rains it rains hard-, coming down in
regular torrents. The mornings are usual
ly clear, and, much to my surprise, I have
not as yet found any extremely hot
weather. I think the climate is not half
as bad as it has been pictured. Certainly
it is not overhot."
Belierea In Vaccination.
The Duke ot Argyll has given the anti
vaccinationists the following “testimo
nial:” “I look upon theeffectaof vaccina
tion as one of the great triumphs of
science, and I deplore the mania which
has set in, as the result of a long immu
nity from the disease, which has led to a dis
creditable and stupid forgetfulness Os its
cause. The highlands ot Scotland ia the
last century used to be swept by the pesti
lence to a fearful extent ‘Decimation’ is
now inadequate to convey an idea of the
effect on the population. Whole parishes
were depopulated. All this stopped when
inoculation came and vaccination subee

Mow Tklevee Ars Detects* By the
Use of CsseoßJ*}- Chorase.
The most curious and complicated
charms are those used In the recovery
of stolen property and the detection of
thieves. Strange to say, the Egyptian
practice of seeing figures shifting over
the ink poured into a boy’s hand !■>
with certain minor differences, known
in Sindh. The Vinyaue Ware, or finder
of lost goods, rubs some dark substance
over the thumbnails of a youth not ar
rived at ths atre of puberty, or directs
him to look at a black spot painted on
the bottom of a bright brass pot
The soothsayer during this period re
cites the asimah (charm) three differ
ent times, after which the seeing com
mences. The boy first sees a bhaugi, or
sweeper, appear in the ink and clean
the floor, after v; hich farash (tent pitch
ers) approach and prepare a pavilion.
They are followed by a train of serv
ants, who spread carpets end erect a
kind of throne for the king of the Jinn,
who presently appears iu state, accom
panied by his suit.
Before hi pi tbo loser of the article ap
pears, to advance aa a oomplainant and
the monarch sends his Ahobdais (mace
bearer) for the thief. The latter being
violently dragged into the presence, Is
bastinadoed till he shows the spot
where the goods are concealed, and is
then dismissed. When the charm is
concluded, the boy accurately describes
the person of the guilty man and the
place where he deposited his plunder.
The natives of Sindh aver that this
incantation ia not* diabolical one, aa it
ia only to be mastered by the 40 days’
fast and the other ceremonies usually
gone through during the study of the
tea khir (or acquisition of power over
angels and demons). Consequently few
practice it, and the knowledge is con
fined to certain families. I never saw
the operation, but have heard of it suffi
ciently often to be assured tbat my in
formants were not deceiving me. More
over, traces of it are to be found in
southern Persia and other parts of the
eastern world. It probably originated
in India, that poisonous source of three
parts of the superstitions which have
inundated Europe and Asia and traveled
westward to Egypt and the Maghrib.
As a support to my conjecture, it may
be mentioned that in Sindh it is prac
ticed by some Hindoos as well as Mos
lems. -—Sir Richard Burton in Humani
tarian.
HOW POMP WAS CONVERTED
Rainy Sunday at Church, Where He
Was the Only Sinner.
Dr. Payson, the famous and beloved
preacher of Portland, Me., used to tell
the following pointed story:
One very stormy Sunday he went to
church, more from habit than because
he expected to find anybody there. Just
after he had stepped inside the door an
old negro came in and asked if Dr.
Payson was to preach there that day,
explaining that he was a stranger in
town and had been advised to go to his
church.
“Upon that,’’said Dr. Payson, "I
made up my mind to preach my sermon
if nobody else came. ”
Nobody else did come, so the doctor
preached to the choir and the old negro.
Some months afterward he happened
to meet the negro, and stopping him
asked how he enjoyed the sermon that
stormy Sunday.
“Enjoy dat sermon?” replied the old
man. "I ’clar, doctor, I nebber heerd a
better one. You see, I had a seat pretty
well up front, an whenebber you’d say
somethin I’d jess look all roun, ter see
nobody on’y jess me. An I says to
m’self, ‘He must mean you, Pomp;
you’s sech a dretful sinner. ’ Well, doc
tor, dat are sermon set me a-thinkin
what a big sinner I war, an I went an
j’ined the church down home. I’ze a

One Wny of Postlow * Letter.
The island of St. Hilda is often visit
ed by tourist steamers in the summer,
but its regular mail communication
with the mainland, some 150 miles dis
tant, is confined to the annual visits of
the steamer which brings the factor and
his stores, says Household Words. But
if at other times the inhabitants desire
, to communicate with Great Britain they
employ the following curious device: A
man cuts the rough model of a boat
from a billet of wood, hollows it partly
jout, places in the hollow a tin or small
bottle containing a letter, nails on a
deck, and when the wind is blowing to
ward the mainland launches the tiny
qraft, having first connected it with a
; bladder, which drives along before the
wind and acts affCtug to the little mail
boat. But the set of the gulf stream fre
quently drives this curious craft out of
its course, and as often as not it reaches
the Shetland islands or the coast of Nor
way, where, however, the letter is pret
ty sure to be found and posted to its
destination.
A Dael of Blankets.
A returned missionary from south
eastern Alaska tells In The Midland
Christian Advocate of a strange custuin
among the Indians of that region:
When a difference arises between
two of them, and a friendly settlement
seems impossible, one of them threatens
the other with dishonor. He will cover
the face of his foe with shame. He ex
ecutes his threat by tearing up a certain
number of his own blankets. The only
way Lis antagonist can get even with
him is by tearing up a greater number
of his own.
If the contest is prolonged, it results
in the destraction of all the blankets
they have, each Indian destroying his
own. The one who destroy* the greater
number is regarded ae having won the
fight
