a Famous Old Clock.

The grand lodge Of Masons in New
York possesses a very interesting relic in
the shape of a grandfather's clock that
struck the hours for Yorktown lodge in
the troubled days when George Wash
ington, Lafayette and other officers OF
the continental army used to visit il
and attend its sessions. The lodge ceased
to exist in 1912, and the old clock was
probably sold with the rest of the furni-
ture. It was unearthed in Baltimore
pawnshop by Dr.. A. B. Lyman of Ly-
man, Nd. The doctor had his attention
attracted by the figuring on the dial,
which showed it to be Masonic clock
He traced back its history and estab-
ished beoynd doubt that it was made
for the Y Yorktown lodge ii 1871 by John
Fisher, whose name and home town are
engraved on the dial.
The clock has been placed i'll the east
end of the library at the Masonic tenn
pie 1t is an eight day clock, in a ma
hogany case and stands about s feet
high. On the brass dial are engraved
the Masonic square and compass, the
columns and the mosaic pavement, with
the name, John Fisher, Yorktown. " It
shows the day of the month and the
phases of the moon correctly.-Jewel-

The lettuce was deemed

The lettuce was deemed by the an
clients the food of the dead, because
when Adonis, the beloved of Venus, was
mortally wounded by wild boar the
weeping goddess laid him upon bed OF
soft and tender lettuces, whose milky
juice possesses soothing and narcotic
qualities. Lettuces We're eaten by tha
ancients at the close of their repasts, al
from their cooling qualities they were
considered antidotes to the heating ef-
fects of wine.
The bitter herbs which the Jews ate
at the passover were wild lettuce, sue
cory, tansy, camomile and dent-de-
lion, and this same race are the invent
ors Of the salad compounded of oil,
vinegar, sugar, salt and mustard to rem
der the bitter herbs palatable. The Irish
two centuries ago made their salads Of
sorrel, wood sorrel and beet chopped
with vinegar, beer and little sugar,
but no oil, salt or mustard Readers of
classic history will remember how a let
tuce caused the cruel death Of Cambyses,
king of Persia and Media, and of his COLI
sort, who was also his sister.-Vegeta-

WHY DID WE MARRY?

Why did we marry-you and 1?
All, me! why did we? In our youth
vowed | loved, and your reply,
Heart sung, yet silent, seemed the truth.
Beside our loves now swelling tone
How faint was that first throb, dear
heart.
1t was q babe that since has grown
Big as the world of which we're part.
Aye, bigger yet, like paradise,
For when you fold me to your breast,
Or drink deep from your dear eyes,
The worlds forgot, with all the rest.
Give more, dear nobler half l thirst
For all the love you once kept hid.
What if we did not love at first?
Thank God, sweet wife, we thought we
did.

DICKS PRESENT HO IE.

The trial came, when the young men
failed to agree, and it wa resolved to
sever the family. Each o. them was
willing that the other should take every
thing else IN the fiat if they would give
Dick to him. But that was not to be
thought Of for a moment, ard the young
men kept together for amonth longer
than they intended in order not to be
separated from their pet.
Finally one of the young men DELHI
erately carried Dick away ar d kept him
in hiding for several months and guard
ed him as carefully as a m5ser watches
over his money. Then he 1ented the fiat
in Sixteenth street, and a few nights ago
invited his former companions to see
Dick. As he ushered his guests into the
hall they were greeted with a burst M
music. They recognized the voice y,
Dick. The moment they entered the
room where the little song;ter was he
few as near them as he coull and Cooed
softly and ruffled his feathers gently.
There may be persons in the world
who would scout the suggestion of a
bird remembering faces for so long a
time, but there is not the slightest doubt
that DICK remembered the young men
and that he was welcoming them with
all his heart. During all the time they
| were in the fat Dick sang all the old
tunes. He stopped only when n of
them spoke to him, and then he would
be silent and cock his little head on oDe
side and peep intelligently.
The young men readily accepted an
invitation to remain all night, and the
next morning before they were out of
bed they heard the magic music of the
httle songster. At breakfast he hoped
on the table and Topped in all their
glasses of Water in order to let them see
that all were dear to him. Before the
three visitors left the man who had stolen
Dick from them made each one promise
that he would not attempt to steal the
bird.-New York Sun.
