served in the Tower, much interesting
matter connected with different
branches of the Lee family is found.
For example, one entry is relative to
William de la LIE and Alicia, his wife.
They gave half mark for a writ from
the Kings Bench for a hundred of
land"
Cotton Mall, Shropshire, was the an
cient family seat of the Lees, descend
ing from father to son from the reign
of Edward 1. to the eighteenth cen
fury. when the estate passed out of
the family.
Among the early immigrants to the
colonies were several families of the
name of Lee Lea and Leigh-the same
name but spelled in different ways.
In 1884 John Lee came from England
and settled in Cambridge. In the same
year. came John Leigh, a person of
good abilities, in the bloom of life"
His two sons, John and Joseph, by
agreement, began in 1877 to spell their
name Lee.
Thomas Lee and Richard Lee were
other pioneers of the family in Amer
lea. They came over in 1641, and set
tied in Virginia.
Richard Lee was one of the Privy
Council of Charles l. According to
family traditions he was a man of
good stature, comedy V1Sage, enter
prising genius, a sound head, vigor-
Gus spirit, and generous nature" He
was a large landowner, 1000 acres on
the Potomac being one of his requests
to his children; to this estate was CIV

"Papermakers' Neck and War Cap

of other pieces of property. One plan

Paradise"
In gratitude for the loyalty of this
Richard Lee. Charles II ordered the
arms OF Virginia to be added to those
OF England France, Scotland and Ire
land, with the motto, EN- Dat Virginia
Quintam" An old coin, now in possess
sion of the Massachusetts Historical
Society, shows on one side a shield, sur
mounted by a crown, upon which these
arms are quartered.
We thus learn the origin of the term
"Old Dominion, which has since been
applied to the state of Virginia.

IN THE MERRY
GREEN CORN TIME.
Useful Recipes for Cooking the
Most American Of Vegetables.

In selecting corn, that with short.
thick ears, green, tender husks and
dark silk will be found the best.
To test the condition of the ears
bend back the husks and press a kerr
mel with something sharp-the farmer
uses his thumb nail. If the milk flows
freely the corn is in good condition.
Corn, like peas, loses it's sweetness
after being broken from the stalk.
and should not be picked any longer
than possible before eating.
Boiled Corn-Remove the outer
husks, bend back the fine inner ones,
strip off every bit of the silk. and
bring the inner husk back over the
ear.
Bind with a husk, put in a kettle,
spread the outer husks over the top.
pour cold water to the cover and bring
to a boil as quickly as possible. Cook
only five or six minutes after coming
to the boiling point, as overlooking
toughens. Strip off the husks, wrap
In serviette and serve piping hot.
If the family is large cook the corn in
relays.
Steamed Corn-Many good cooks
contend that corn is better steamed
than boiled. In this case prepare the
corn as If for boiling. After it is in
the kettle pour a little hot water over
it, cover the kettle tightly and stand
where 1t will steam, not boil, for thirty
minutes.
1t is a common error to cook corn

The Dynamo.
From the EleetrIeal Review.


Few of Us can watch a dynamo in
operation without a feeling akin to
awe. though the inspiration may arise
from very different sources. To the
layman it is little less than miracle
that the simple spinning of mass of
iron and copper should suffice to light
his house, carry him from place to
place and do all the countless things
for which to-day electricity is opera
tive agents. To the engineer this feel
ing comes from a different source. He
knows and understands the accepted
theory of the operation of the dynamo
and is familiar with its construction
Hence it is the simplicity of the thing
and the beauty Of its operation that
impress him. OF the action he knows
just as little as the laymen, for our
theories merely give US something
plausible 20 think about and Of them
selves prove nothing.

I Constantia"-"By fidelity and constan-
cy."
The arms of one branch of the Lee
family, with the banners of two MEM
bers who had been Knights of the
Garter, may be seen in St. George
chapel Windsor Castle. They consist
of a shield. battled and embattled.
Crest, a closed visor, surmounted by a
squirrel holding a nut, with the motto,
Now incautus futuri."
In this connection it is interesting to
note that a Richard Lee was heraldic
officer to the crown in Queen Eliza
beth's reign. An onerous duty, upon
one OCCASION was to give detailed rea-
sons why he presumed to use a hearse
at the funeral of a knight bachelor"
Another Lee-Sir Henry-made a
vow of chivalry as Queen Elizabeth's
champion; hence arose the yearly
tournaments which graced her reign.
His arms may be seen in st. Georges
Chapel.
In modern times, the Lees have
been distinguished in various ways
Lord Palmerston the famous states
man, was the great-grandson of a Lee.
Ann Lee founded the Society of Shak-
ers, and the Rev. William Lee was the
inventor of the stocking frame.
In America this family gave us
Maj. Gen. Charles Lee, of the
Revolution. and Samuel Lee, who en-
listed in the War of independence
when only thirteen years of age. At
ter peace was ratified, the young SOL
der took his discharge, being then
only 16 years old, with the
praise of a faithful patriot and SOL
der" On the organization of the
militia, after the war, he was elected
an officer and rose to the rank of
brigadier- general.
Richard Henry Lee, statesman and
orator, originated the plan of a Con-
tinental Congress in 1878, which was
carried into effect the following year.
