ORIGIN AND OBJECT OF TRE
BANQUET
The banquet had its origin, in the early but not the earliest stager of human life, the period in which one of our popular novelists finds his heroes and heroines. So:long as man lived ba casual meals snatched from bushes and trees,; {5 there was no reason for communal eating. And when he robbed a bird's nest or caught & fish in his hands, his altruistle impulses were not aroused. He hid in the bushes to eat, or at the beat shared his prize with his mate and offspring. But when he bad, risen to tha triumph of catching a deer in 'n grapevine);" eninoglemant, he could, for the first time in the history of the world, afford to be generous.
tie had no cold storage warehouse and preser Valine had not been invented. The only way to save the meat was to eat it, and, as he could li not do that alone, he called in the neighbouring Troglodytes to share it with him..
The eating bes thus originated prevails to this day, retaining, vestiges of its primitive... signification. The barbecued pig or ox being more than one family could dispose of became an excuse for getting together a crowd. Any family can finish a chicken, but the sacrifice of so large a bird as a goose or a turkey involves such a train of left-overs that the host la willing to extend his hospitality, four dinner invitations retained their original meaning wa upon them" We are would have engraved upo going to have more than we can eat at out house on such a day, and you: can bara soma if you come."

·
The dinner invitation is, of course, a polite», fiction. The meal is merely an excuse, su perduous buc indispensable. Certain people want to get together, or the host wants to get them together and the only practical way is to give them a dinner. We have been nade wary of each other by the exigencias, of our civilization that to got ac quainted with a man you have to stalk.bim as you would a deer. You crnnal ápproach a stranger and say to him, " You seem to be my icind of a man; I think it would be to our mutual advantage to become acquainted.” That: would be altogether too blunt and prestimp-- tuous. The more modest and diplomatic way. is to assume that you have no more in com- man' than a dependence upon. food, and say to him: "I bave to eat and you have to eat. Let, us eat together. Fossibly between mouthfalt.. we may indulge in a little casual but profitable.... conversation. By this subterfuge bis natural suspicion is disarmed and you sidle up to each ther while ostensibly looking in another direc tion.

WINNER OF NOBEL POET'S PRIZE.
The Nobal poet's price has been won this time by Glosue Carducci. The whole of the civilized world will certainly greet most com dially the aged port the pride of Italiau poetry, who celebrated this year in the summer kia. seventieth birthday. To-day. he is already quite a historical personage. The time is now far distant when, as an ardent champion of the Tature independence of Italy, be sang in basour; jjaf Mazigi as the-most steadfast of patriots whe new no truth savo hiš ideal, when with bitter- ess he described how Italy, by means of furcigo help, crept shyly nudf secretly into, Rome, conjuring the geese of the capital të re- main silent. To-day he is nagibered among- those who, in modern Italy, see their wishes" and hopes is the main fulfilled. In the realen of poetry also Carducci may take to himself the assurance that he has succeeded in his mission. When be first made his, appearance as post: he was the principal antagonist of the Italian Romanticism which had bécoms old and enigs feebled. A Tuscan through and through, filled with the spirit of Italian bumanism, which he- had studied most deeply, he celebrated the sun and disregarded the pale, exhausted moon; he extolled and represented the elissical rigor and^ clearness of form as against the arbitrary loose. · ness of rhythm and the free meters which had bren long, played out. He introduced into Italian poetry, as is well known, in "Odi Bar- bale," for the first time the meter of classic Antiquity, after the example of the German poet, August von Plathen. Kothusiast and realist, satirist and writer of hymus all in one,.. ho is like a crystal which reflects many coloured rays.
