ANCIENT ROME.
It Could Not Compare In Splendor
With Some Modern 0«pital6.
Rome, even In the times of its great¬
est splendor, was poor hi comparison
with the modern world. Even In the
second century after Christ, when It
stood as metropolis at the head of an
Immense empire, Rome was smaller,
less wealthy, less imposing than a
great metropolis of Europe or of Amer¬
ica. Some sumptuous public edifices,
beautiful private houses—that is all
the splendor of the metropolis of the
empire.
Moreover, the palaces of the Caesars
on the Palatine are a grandiose ruin
that stirs the artist and makes the
philosopher think, but If one sets him¬
self to measure them, to conjecture
from the remains the proportions of
the entire edifices, he does not conjure
up buildings that rival large modern
construction. The palace of Tiberius,
fur example, rose above a street only
two meters wide, less than seven #?et,
an alley like those where today in

Italian cities live only the most miser¬
able inhabitants. We have pictured
to ourselves the Imperial banquets of
ancient Rome as functions of unheard
of splendor; if Nero or Etagabalus
could came to life and see the dining
room of a great hotel in Paris or New
York, resplendent with light, with
crystal, with sliver, he would admire
it ns far more beautiful than the halls
In which he gave his imperial feasts.
Think how poor were the ancients in
artificial light! They had few wines;
they knew neither tea nor coffee nor
cocoa, neither tobacco nor the in¬
numerable liqueurs of which we make
use. In face of our habits they were
always Spartan, even when they wast¬
ed. because they lacked the means to
squander.—Guglielmo Ferrero in Put¬
nam’s.
His Genius.
“Why do people think he’s a genius
Nobody can understand what he's talk

that he does.”—Exchange.

SAFE EOTH WAYS.
The Way Rajah Birbar Saved His
Head by Ready V/it.
Rajah Birbar, a boon companion of
the Emperor Akbar. the great con¬
temporary of Queen Elizabeth, was a
notable wit. The story goes that the
emperor once sent Birbar with a mes¬
sage to the king of Persia.
The latter, for some reason or other,
bore a grudge toward the rajah and iu
order to see him lose the emperor’s
favor thought of a device.
He asked Birbar: “Which of us two
Is greater in power and majesty—I or
Akbar? But, mind you, if your an¬
swer is in any way unfavorable to me
I will order your head to be struck
off.”
“Your majesty,” replied Birbar with
out loss of time, “is like the full moon,
while the emperor, my master, resem¬
bles the crescent.”
The king was highly pleased with
his reply and let him go.
This news was, however, carried to
Akbar, who was wild with rage when
he heard It. When Birbar returned to
his master’s court lie was asked to ex¬
plain himself on pain of death.
"My comparison." said Birbar,
“meant only this much and nothing
more—that the decline of the Persian
king's power had commenced, just as
the full moon, after it is full, goes on
waning, while your majesty is destined
to rise on and one till, like the crescent
j becoming the full moon In time, it will
shiue forth with magnificent splendor
! of j[lory.”
