Perhaps the l-Impcror himself \\'C'»'.h:"i for peace, but it seemed that not exert the throne could stand against t-ze pressure and strain on every s'de.

Holstein should co- operate. Prussia deciared that this broke the.treaty, and they moved into 'Holstein. Bismarck issued a circular 'letter. The press cried for War and “predicted a victory to strengthen the national confidence. The war is always the desire or “the other side.” It is always the other one who chooses to overcome Justice with might, “Germtn unmet German makes an unholy wet”; quite fisht to step heyond Prussia. and Ana- trie and appeal to Germany. But why not in every war reach to the hither plane. and recognize it u a m of humanity against humanity? 3nd to gal-d every battle a: an unholy c“ Heat? The fight‘over the United States Government ship purchase bill is over, the bill “passing by a large majority. On June 11 Austria proposed that the Alliance should take a hand against Prussia for helping hersel.‘ to Holstein. On June 14 the vote stood 'nine to sixâ€"accepted. Oh, those three terrible votes! All was over. Am- bassadors are dismissed. The Alliance requests Austria and Bavaria to go ”to the rescue of Hanover and Saxony, who have already attacked the Prus- slans. On the 18th, Prussia's war manifesto appeared. On the same date Austria's troops marched out, and on the 22nd Prussia issued her first army orders. King William said: To the last I have worked for peace with Austria, but it was refused. Kaiser Francis Joseph announced: Prussia shows her desire to set might in the place of right. therefore this unholy war of German against German cannot be avoided.

Whevn we turn to Rome we findi the same pxogress from simplicit} to gluttony. _ no. 1‘ At the famous banquet of Tri- malchio, which, it should be reâ€" membered, was not merely aban- quet, but a burlesque, and was given by a multi-millionaire. as we should call him to-day the gustus would have served the most of men for a dinner. A donkey of Corinthian bronze held two baskets of olives, white on one side, black on the other. Then there were dormice covered with honey and poppy seed, hot saus- ages on 'a, silver grill, and be- neath them damsons and pome- granite seeds. But a Roman dined with Trimalchio as rarely as with Lucullus, and the freedman’s fan- cy was separate and his own. The ancient Roman, like the Scot grew strong upon porridge. Puls was the staple of. the diet. But foreign victories broug,~.t fur-- eign manners and luxury made an easy conquest of Rome. which presently adopted the three meals of the Greeks, to divide the da.:- In the early morning the Roman was satisfied with bread, dried fruits and cheese, Then at noon came the prandium, which consist-v ed, in simplehouseholds. of the broken meats from yesterdays dinner table, with a pleasant ad dition of eggs, vegetables and Wine priceless delicacies to the ends of the earth. Satire had no mnre efâ€" fect than sumptuary 1mm. and the banquets of rich patriians and wealthy. (reedmen are l..-gcnda;:;. First came .the fish, for poor as for rich a necessity of the din- ner. Seabarbel and the tumot nf Ravcnna were the fawn-Ems ani the haddock was not disdained. Oysters were as highly prized at Rome as in modern London and were brought by the wealthy frum Britain to be fattened in the Lu- crine Lake. Of the birds. the chi"? in esteem were fowls and pea- cocks, and field-fares were :m ;eagerly sought for in Rome as in the Athens of Aristophanes. 1 So valiant a beast. freed be- .‘cause the.guests of yesterdav had “sent him away unta-sted.. deserved ‘the ministration of no mean carv- ger.

It was a fantastic spentaclo and suggests [not the banquet of an ODiI'ut‘e. ‘mxi 'lwhat the newspapers of toâ€"dav : call a freak dinner. But no banquet at Rome was complete without a Wild boar. Whose entrance upon the table. roasted whole, marked the high- est moment of the ceremonial feast. Petronius has descrwed the- nomp of its coming win a vast deal of circumstance: “A tray was brought in with a wild noar of the largest size upon it. wearing a cap in freedom. with two little baskets wove of palm twigs hanging from his tusks. one full of .dry dates and the other of fish. Round it lay suckling pigs made. of Simnel cake with their mouths to the teats, thereby showing that we had a sow before us." And the Romans, no less than the Greeks proved their love of the pig by the preference thev showed for sausage and black puddings. For the rest they 05-- teemed'a hare. a goat. or .1 dormouse that had been fed on chestnuts as rare 'dai‘nivs. and they finished their feasts with a. fine array of pastry and fruit Some there were who praised be simple life, but We may assume that Horace, when he declared his hatred of parsici apparatus. was expressing no more than the rc- morse of a faded palate. Yet if we compare the luxury at modern times with the luxury 0! Rome, We shall observe but few differences We do not. like the Romans, recline at our meals. Wt,- do not observe he ceremonies u; the triclinium: We are more sensi~ tive in keeping clean our hands and prefer forks to fingers. but the taste of man has not greatly changed in 2,000 years, and if it could be our good fortune to dine with Lucullis, his table would cause us no confusion and but. small surprise.
