Cecil Rhodes' Hohhy.

Mr. Cecil Rhodes, who has just entered on his forty-ninth year, has one little known weakness—collecting old cookery books. Of these he has a very remarkable and valuable collection, acquired in the course of some five or six years. There are books, however, which even a millionaire cannot buy. and when in London just before the outbreak of the war in South Africa he kept, a secretary busy for several months at the British Museum copying and translating some of the very wonderful old Latin cookery books which have their place in the national collection.
