: Pepys at a Banquet. ;
People probably. eat more judiciously
today than they did when Samuel Pe
pys wrote the following account of his
holiday menu:
~ “We had a fricasee of rabbits and
chickens, a leg of mutton, boiled; three
carps in a dish, a great dish of a side
| of lamb, a dish of roasted pigeous. a
dish of four lobsters, three taris. a
lamprey pie—a most rare pie—a dish of
anchovies, good wine of several’ sors
and all ‘things tnighty noble, to mniy
‘great centent.” .
The striking thing about this feast,
which was probably a typical one of
“its day (1663), is that it is composed al-
; | most egtirely of meat and fish, reliev-
h Dial, aged |
ed only by pastry and wine. If there
were any vegetables in it Pepys did
not consider it necessary to mention
them, and it is possible that there were
none. Pofatoes.were hardly known in
England at that time, and many other
vegetables now considered necessaries
were either not known or were rarely
used.—San Francisco Bulletin. .

Metchnikoff’s Dream.
Dr. Elie Metchnikoff, the great Rus-
sian medical scientist, who for many
years made his home in Paris, was the
son of an officer of the Russian guard.
He had the figure of a moujik, an
abundant, uncultivated beard, long hair
and - big, dreamy eyes. This savan{
had much of the simplicity of the
visionary. Possessed by the problems
of disease and SOIrow, he was con-
vinced that all would be for the best if
man could recover the primitive purity
of his organs. In this paradise which
he would restore and that science
might realize he held that man should
never suffer and that at the end of ap-
with the same ease that one falls
asleep ‘in the evening. In the world
that Dr. Metchnikoff has left he had
explained that the body was a very im-
perfect’ machine and that there were
105 organs or remains of organs that
were superfluous. useless and even
gangerons. —Cri de Paris.
Where Gannets Swarm.
One of the most remarkable sights in
the world is Bird island, in South Afri-

months of the year it is literally covered
with ganuets. Not a foot of ground is

ghsusands of gannets strut around, and
