these were suspended the great kettles
and little kettles and the griddles and pots
and boilers for the cooking processes.
The roasting was done in a big "tin
Kitchen" which stood before the fire, in
which meats or poultry were held by
large iron spit which pierced them and
which could be revolved to present one
side after the other to the blaze; some
times there was little clock work which
turned the spit automatically, but usually
it was turned from time TO time by the
cook. AS you know, they used to have in
England little dogs called turnspits, train
ed to turn wheel for this purpose. A
little door in the rear of this tin kitchen
gave access for basting the meat In
large trough at the bottom the gravy was
caught.
No boy of that day will think there is
any flavor like that of roast turkey and
chicken or of the doughnuts and pancakes
which were cooked by these open fires,
BY the side of the fireplace, with a flue
entering the chimney, was a great brick
oven, big enough to bake all the bread
needed by a large family for a week or
ten days. The oven was heated by brisk
fire made of birch or maple or some very
rapidly burning wood. When the Goals
were taken out the bread was put in and
the oven was shut with two iron doors.
The baking day was generally Saturday.
When the bread was taken out Saturday
afternoon 1t was usual to put in a large
pot of beans for the Sunday dinner They
were left there all night and the oven was
opened In the morning and enough came
out for breakfast, when there was put into
the bean pot pot of Indian pudding
which was left with the rest of the beans
for the Sunday dinner.
The parlor fire was very beautiful
sight, with the big logs and the sparkling
walnut or oak wood blazing up Some
of the housekeepers of that time had
good deal of skill in arranging the wood
In a fireplace so as to make OF it beau
tiful piece of architecture.
In the coolest weather the heat did rot

Sunday was kept with Jewish strictness.

Or. Steele said, he had the satisfaction of
knowing that he had cost Uncle Sam
great deal in ammunition.
DR. Steele told a number of other inter-
esting stories, among them one of the
little school teacher who stood
off a Yankee colonel and 500 cavalrymen
and refused 10 allow her school house to
be searched for big poltroon whom the
colonel wanted to consCrlpt. The school
teacher had no use for the poltroon but
she was not going to let the Yankee col
onel have him. The colonel was gallant
man and did not attempt to enter when
the little school mistre told him he
would have to do so over her dead body
Br. Steele excited tremendous applause
by his eloquent tribute to Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, who, he said, would rally 100000 men
TO his standard from the South should he
be called upon to lead the forces of the
United States against a foreign foe.
The threatening weather did not pre-
vent DR.. Steele from having a good audi
ence, but if he should lecture here again
it is safe to say that his audience will be
much larger.

Curious watches.
From the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
OF watches quaint and curious, George
III had one of the most remarkable pre-
scented to him on his birthday in 1864. 1t
was a repeating watch with a diameter
less than that OF a silver twopence, and
although 1t contained a hundred and
twenty distinct parts, weighed no more
than five penny-weights seven grains and
hree-fourths-rather over a quarter of
an ounce Troy.
Small as this watch was, it has been
eclipsed at this end of the century, if not
by watch in the possession of an emil
nent subject of the Gar, at all events by
one In the shape of a stud. The former
watch was first contained in an exquisite
gold case covered with minute but perfect
Watteau scenes in enamel, but the works
were afterwards removed from this en-
easement and placed inside a diamond
scarcely two-fifths of an inch in diameter;
while the latter, reputed TO be the work
of an English artisan, has a dial one
eighth of an inch in diameter and is set
In shirt stud. This stud is worn with
two others; by turning the upper one the
watch is wound, while the lower one has
to be turned to adjust the hands,
1t was recently announced that the lat
est novelty in watches was one which
'does not require winding. The winding
trivance by which small weight is rails
ed and lowered from the jar of walking
The motion Of the weight works a small
ratchet arrangement which winds the
spring to it's full tension, and then is au-
tomatically held until more winding is
needed" The description of this very in
genious watch, eminently suitable for
postmen, reads very much like that of a
watch which the great Napoleon possess
ed The latter watch wound itself by
means Of a weighted lever, which, at ev-
cry step his majesty took, rose and fell
and, having a gathering click to it, wound
upa ratchet attached to the barrel"
And vet we hesitate to say that there
is nothing new under the sun, and we
shall continue to do so until German and
Russian explorers in China inform us that
the invention of the talking watch was
discovered in the era of Confucius, and is
therefore, not the very latest novelty. The
talking watch Is, of course, a combination
of watch and photograph; the remarks
IL makes, we learn, can be carried on in
the voice of personal friends. How de-
lighted the prospect conjured up appears
At s O'Clock we hear the dulcet tones of
our dearest friend, the early-risng fiend
saying: Now, then, get up, lazy bones"
and instead of obeying the behest we turn
over on the other side, conscious that no
bed-clothes win be torn from us, that a
cold sponge is not our PORTION, and that
il we wait long enough the same voice
will tell us to go to Sleep" By having
the talking part of the watch made to
order its possibilities as a conscience
soother are immense. on cold winter
mornings a watch that exhorted one to
stay in bed another five minutes would be
worth veritable claim at Klondike.

and on the fourth a pulpit with a great
sounding board over it, into which the
minister got by quite a high fight or
stairs. Just below the pulpit was the
deacons seat, where the four deaeonS
sat in row The pews were old-fash-
Toned square, high pews, reaching up al
most to the top of the head of boy NJ
years old when he was standing up
The seats were without cushions and
with hinges. When the people stood up
for prayer the seats were turned up for
greater convenience of standing, ana
when the prayer ended they came down
all over the church with a slam like a
small cannonade
One Sunday, in the middle of the SER
mon, the old minister, DR.. Ripley, stood
up in the pulpit and said in a loud voice:
Simeon, come here. Take your hat and
come here" Simeon was a small boy
who lived in the doctors, family, and sat
in the gallery. We boys all supposed that
Simeon had been playing in church or had
committed some terrible offense for which
he was to be punished in sight of the
whole congregation.
Simeon came down trembling and abash~
ed and the doctor told him to go home as
fast as he could and get the Thanksgiving
proclamation. The doctor filed up the time
as well as he could with an enormously
long prayer until the boy got back. Sine
en- confessed to some of the boys that he
had been engaged in some mischief just
before he was called, and he was terribly
afraid the doctor had caught him.
This old church, with its tower, yellow
spire, old clock and wesshercock, seems
to me as 1 look back on 1t to have been
very attractive piece of architecture IL
was that church which suggested to Emer-
son the leading thought in one of his moss
famous poems, THE Problem"
In those days, when people were to be
married, the law required notice to be Civ

aloud in the church three Sundays in sue-
cession. So just before the service began
the old town clerk would get up and pro-
claim: There is marriage intended be-
tween Mr.. John Brown. of this town, and
Miss Sarah Smith, of Sudbury" and there
was great curiosity in the congregation 20
hear the announcement. The town clerk
in my boyhood had been a wealthy old
bachelor for whom the young ladies had
set their caps in vain for two generations.
One day he astonished the congregation
by proclaiming: There is a marriage IN

which was his own name-"and Miss Lucy
=. Fay both of Concord" That was before

my age.
