But best of all the Homeric heroes liked beef, cut into pieces and grilled upon spits. And it was only on oceasions-ef sacrifice that their desires were wholly satisfied. Though the gods, to be mire, claim- ed the daintiest morsels, there was enough left to appeasethe stoutest hunger. Nor did they demand any adornment to. such fea-sts as these save fruit. As the years ea -eased the Greeks grew daintier and more critical of their food. The three meals which broke their day were not unlike those which still obtain. their first breakfast was simple enough, consisting of bread dipped in neat wine. Their luncheon was taken about noon, and their dinner was- as late as ours. Spoons and forks they knew not, nor tablecloths nor napkins; but, if their service was had, in the fifth century luxury had. already invaded Athens. There is no better proof of the delicecy of the Greek palate than the honor in which cooks were held. They plied their trade -with the greatest freedom, and, not being at- tached to this master or that, they were palled in by. the rich on °eke- sions of brilliant festivity -- What wonder then the -cook's was a respectable profession, beooraing a free mini When we torn to Rome we find the same progress from simplicity to gluttony.

Some there were who praised the simple life, but eve -may assurnethat Hor- ace, when he declared his hatred of parsiei apparatus, was expressing no more than the remorse of a jaded Palate. Yet if we compare the luxury of modern times with the luxury of Rome, we shall observe but few dif- ferences. We do not, like the Ro- mans, 'recline at our meals; we do not 'observe the ceremonies of the triclinium; we ere more sensitive in keeping clean eur bands, and pre- fer forks to fingers, but the taste of man ha- not greatly elmaged in 2,000 years, and if it could be our good fortune to dine with Lueullus, his table -would cause us no confu- sion and but small surprise. AFRI CAN MARKS MEN. Where Cross -Bows Shoot as Sure . as Guns. The proficiency of the African cross -bow men amazed the Duke of Mecklenburg, who wondered how the weapon of Williara Tell found its way into the Baagandu country - But there it was, handed down from a dim antiquity which the natives were unable to reveal. Several of the hunting tribes use the weapon, and some of the marksmen are so skilled that they can bring down a high soaring bird aith the same sure action of the man with the gun. "Nothing is done to the arrows used for killing birds," Writes- the duke in his, recently published work, "From the Congt to the Niger and the Nile," "but foe shootieg mon- keys they are \invariably dipped in strciphanthus juice, a poison which king, them almost immediately."The duke was )at the head of the German Central African expedition of 1910 and -1911, undertaken to sup- plement the work of the expedition of 1907 a.nel leee..

There are different causes for wrinkles, which are not entirely due to old age. Habits of thought re. fleet themselves in the faee, and it persisted in create wrinkles through the repeated exercise of certain muscles in fixing the expression of the features. A -constantly fretful or worrisome contraction of the skin of the forehead will cause wrinkles there independent of the age of the -person.
