A number of years ago Rev. DIR.
Frank Lenig, now of Clifton Heights,
was sent to a country charge to at
tempt to adjust difficulty that had
arisen over the settlement of the
pastors salary. He found affairs in
deplorable condition. The pastor,
who had attended to his duties faith
fully, was sorely in need of money
long past due, having family to
support, but the officials determined
that they could not, on rather would
not, meet the just obligation. DR..
Lenig labored with them for some
time, completely ethausting all his
powers of persuasion
Finally a close fisted old fellow
who had hitherto kept silent turned
to the pastor and said, Look here,

A Dinner in 100.

During the latter part of the Eight
eenth century the dinner table pre-
sented a far less splendid appearance
than it does now 1t was appropri-
ated to solid food rather than to
flowers, fruits and decorations. Nor
was there much glitter of plate upon
it, for the early dinner hour rem
dered candlesticks unnecessary, and
silver forks had not come into gen
eral use, while the broad, rounded
end of the knives indicated the sub
stitute generally used instead of
them.
The dinners, too, were more home
ly, though not less plentiful and sa-
worry, and the bill of fare in one
house would not be so like that in
another as it is now, for family re-
cipes were held in high estimation
A grandmother of culinary talent
could bequeath to her defendant
fame for some particular dish, and
might influence the family dinner
for generations.
One house would pride itself on its
ham, another on its game pie, and a
third on its superior fr1mity or tan
sy pudding. Beer and homemade
wines, especially mead, were more
largely consumed. Vegetables were
less plentiful and less various. Po-
tatoes We're used, but not so abun-
dainty as now, and there was an idea
that they were to be eaten only with
roast meat. Memoirs of Jane Aus

north pier extends l 300 feet be-
yond the shore line; the south pier
1900 feet. An appropriation of $40, 900
already made by congress Will carry
these piers $50 feet further out, to the
brink OF the permanent deep water
basin of the lake. These piers. in total
length, are ever one mile, made of
MASSIVE revetment construction, rising
to q height Of twelve feet above the
water. They are 400 feet apart aud
between them there is constant depth
of twenty-one feet Of water. Upon
them are the necessary fog and storm

ing station. Near by, situated upon
the eminence OF lofty sand bluff, is
