The Horse Market.

Chicago. Jan. 23.-With the exception
of choice qualities of heavy drafters
and drivers, all offerings of equine
stock show sharp declines from Mon-
days average prices. The unusually
heavy receipts are taken advantage of
by buyers. who insist on making their
purchase OF medium qualified stock at
reductions of s5@10. The fancy kinds
are about steady, and with a heavy cur
tailment of the run an active and
stronger market would be assured for
next week. Official receipts Wednes-
day were $40, and for the week thus
far 2,447.. Thursdays auction offerings
included some very good stock in the
heavyweight class that sold at about
steady prices. The best drivers were
also fair sellers at steady prices, but
all the cheaper offerings had to go at
c~uhStantfal reductions.

Trimming. For Evening Govn..

Paste is assertive. It figures on even ing dresses in long, firm lines, heading dounces or formed into scrollwork, and always effulgent, which is more becon- ing than the glitter of pai1lettes. Where dresses are painted, as they often are, on mousseline de soie and satin this paste ornamentation throws the artis-3 tic work into still greater relief, and the frou frou effect at the foot is great ly enhanced by touches of this brilliant addition. Empire wreaths diamante play an important part cn the skirt or namentation and embroidery, and now that pretty women are composing the difficulty of throwing soft gossamer scarf about the neck, a good deal of at tention is being bestowed on the ends of these scarfs, which are embroidered with diamonds pearls, gold and silver, all play their part in the most ornate evening dresses of today Even the cen ters of artificial flowers are jewe1ed and black dresses glitter with diamond effects, the fashionable classic sleeve being held in place with these stones.

pendicular position, take off the hands and face" What earthly good is a clock with its hands and face off?
 The most wonderful clock in the world is exhibited in St. Petersburg. It's n1agnidcence may be imagined from the fact of it's having no less than nine- ty-f1ve faces. It tells simultaneously the time of the day at thirty different spots on the earth's surface, besides the movements of the earth round the sun, the phases of the moon and the signs of the zodiac, the passage over the meridian of more than fifty stars of the northern hemisphere and the date according to the Gregorian, Greek, Mussuln1an and Hebrew calendars. The works alone took several years to put together after the clock had been sent to Russia from Switzerland.
 In our own country we have some in- teresting clocks. The best known is the old fashioned tinnepiece' that stands in the senate corridor of the capitol. This massive clock has been in use since the present building was erected. It was one of the few objects which escaped when the British sacked Washington in 1914. Uncle Sam has another wonder full clock at Washington, the only one of it's kind in the world. It resembles the large timepieces seen in railroad offices and has dials not only for the hours. minutes and seconds. but for the

XW ITHOUT the slightest inten- AA/ ton of being facetious, the wv clock may be considered a
 timely subject to discuss at
 the beginning of the new year. The last hours of old 1902 have recently been ticked out by honored 1 timepieces the world over. We have wound up our clocks and our resolu- tions afresh for another year. but both, alas. will run down many times before the twelve months roll round again.
 There is no article of furniture about which cluster so many affectionate memories as the long case clock, fla miliar to all of us as the "grandfa- adorned kitchen and hall, parlor and bedchamber. Strong and durable when we'll made, it will keep time after 200 years. It has been present at birth and death, has watched the family for tunes through successive stages from one generation to another. It has helped the poet turn many a pretty sentence. and even if we did not know we should feel perfectly certain that Longfellow's 'Old Clock on the Stairs was of the grandfather variety. This poem touches the heart and stirs the memory of every man and woman who reads it simply for the true humanity expressed in the lines. The most pro- saic of us can imagine such clock ticking out the forever, never, never, Rorever.A'- of the poet.
 The earliest grandfather's clocks were very marrow and less lofty than they afterward became. The head was square as distinguished from the dome shape which eventually came to be made. The faces were often of brass or steel. These faces were handsomely engraved, with chased brass corner pieces representing cherubs, heads, crowns or something more fanciful. The plain white faces did not come in until well on in the eighteenth century. Long clocks are the direct descendants of the beautiful brass chamber ones which are so greatly sought after by collectors. Many of the early clocks were made of oak, but for those of a superior quality walnut was largely used Oak with mahogany inlay was often employed right through the eight eenth century. The clocks made after the arrival of William and Mary were the many Dutch artifcers attracted to England by the presence of a Holland CT on the throne. In time lacquer adornments were added. These old clocks had single finger of elaborate design. A very early example of the Dutch English design has floral mar quetry on the case carried up round the head. making a highly effective border to the face. The twisted pillars of the head are very characteristic of the long

phases of the moon. It has 8 labyrinth of cogWheels, which fit into each other with admirable nicety, and when the handle on the left of the case is turned which winds the clock it turns the mechanism into an automatic astrolo- ger which predicts events years ahead.
 At the White House in the blue parlor is a clock which was once the property of Napoleon Bonaparte, who presented it to General Washington. The latter afterward gave it to General Lafa- yette. The frame is made of alabaster and French gilt bronze. What is known as the Lincoln clock, purchased when that president was in the White House, is an object of interest in the red room.
 To trace the clocks of the present day back to their origin is difficult task, but we know that the most ancient of all instruments for ascertaining the time of day was probably the sundial. It is commonly believed that the first form of the sundial was simply a col umn which cast shadow of varying length and position. The Endicott sun dial in the Essex institute, Boston, Is the oldest in America. We all remem- Der studying in our early history les sons about the candle clock of Alfred the Great and its conversion into a lan- tern by means of translucent horn cover. With this candle he divided the day into three equal portions, one of which he devoted to religion, one to public affairs and the third to rest and recreation. Until the fourteenth cen tury the word clock was applied to the bell upon which the hour determined by the horologe was rung. Even at the present day the clock at Wells ca thedral, England, is called the horo- loge. The Catholic clergy are credited with the introduction of clocks into England, and, of course, our British cousins sent them over to us. The wrongdoing of one man has been the means of keeping generations of other men right up to time. refer to the first Big Ben," the Westminster clock, said to have been erected from the pro- ceeds of fine imposed upon justice of the kings bench.
 The first clock on record which ap- breaches in accuracy of movement the clocks of today was constructed for Charles V. of France. To be sure, the essential principle has remained unal- tered. Our ancestors for several cen- turies have been familiar with the same face of clock that we have known from infancy, with it's figures encircling 1t and its hands slowly travelling and pointing out respectively the minute most touching and domestic of all household furnishings.

or black velvet ribbon. Frillings of white mousseline decorate the decol- letage and form the twisted bows which do duty for sleeves. Medallions of white panne and applications of gray chenille are arranged upon both skirt and waist. A bunch of yellow roses at one side of the corsage is an extremely harmonious addition. Chenille fringes hang pendent from the panne orna- ments. This is gown which might be seriously considered by the stunning matron.
 By the way, flowers are effectively represented by quillings and gatherings of chiffon in varied shades of rose, red, blue and green. Punches of violets made of baby ribbon twisted into that dainty flower are very realistic, and a posy of ribbons will outlast the truly beauties by many months. n.

 wonder if kid will ever come into vogue again? One of the smartest tai Tor built gowns I ever saw had a pin tucked skirt with three bands of black kid above the founce at the feet. The kid coat came two inches below the waist, fastening with two enormous silver buttons and being 'frished with large revers of white moire lined with cream satin. With this ware worn a little white muslin front with jabot and a three cornered black beaver hat. I shall never forget that costume. To fit kid is not an easy undertaking, and the tailor who built that coat should be a proud man.
 How smart and inexpensive are some of the cloth wraps! Nothing could be nicer than guards coat lined with scarlet. I have also seen some very chic models in dark blue lined with green flannel. Pawn lined with green is more uncommon, though little try ing to the wearer.

 Kid hats are more novel than pretty, though they may be deemed useful when devoted to motoring. One of these in gray bound with black braid, with bows and ends of braid at the back. has been especially designed for this exercise.

DELICIOUS
 VEGETABLE FEN ' REES

IN winter, when vegetables are scarce and dear, it is really surprising
 what a number of dainty dishes may be evolved with the aid of some of the delicious dried vegetables now sold on every hand. The practice of serving separate vegetable entree or else what the French term a farinage at dinner is one which every housewife with an eye to economy will approve. The following recipes make delicious vegeta ble entrees:
 Butter beans are delicious when served a la creme and cannot be called expensive since one pound of them may be bought at a price which varies from 5 to 8 cents, according to locality. When bought. one-half pound of beans should be soaked in cold water for twenty-four hours. Then take out, drain and cook slowly in salted water in the usual manner. The time for this varies somewhat, so it is not possible to state it exactly When very tender. take out and drain carefully. Place a piece of butter about the size of very large walnut in a clean stewpan; di- rectly it melts add to it teaspoonful of finely minced shallot and teaspoon full of minced parsley. Cook for cou- pie of minutes and then add the beans, together with a little cream; pepper and salt to taste. Toss till very hot. Then dish up on a hot dish, garnish with fried croutons and serve at once.
 How few people understand how to cook lentils properly-not the yellow, but the green, the larger variety! Yet. treated properly, these make either a nice vegetable entree or an exceedingly dainty salad. At the Restaurant Duval in Paris Ientil salad is a we'll known and very delicious dish indeed.
 A salad of green peas may be made as follows: Boil the dried peas till ten- der, as directed, then drain carefully. Leave till cold. Dress with mint sauce and use very little oil Garnish with grated yolk of hard boiled egg and serve.
 When fresh mint is unobtainable. mint sauce may be made with the dried variety very successfully thus:
 Place a dessertspoonful or more of the powdered mint in a sauce tureen. Pour over it half a gill of cold boiled water. Soak for an hour. Then add sugar to taste and tablespoonful and . half of vinegar. Mix and serve.

 If little vinegar is burned or sprin- kled about sickroom, it will be found both refreshing and agreeable. How often it IS difficult to be wisely charitable-to do good without multi plying the sources of evil! To give aims is nothing unless you give thought also. It is written not blessed is he that feedeth the poor.'' but blessed is he that considereth the poor" A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than great deal of money.

 Everything is possible to the woman of fashion these days. The athletic woman may be just as daintily rough in her attire as she pleases, if one can understand the contradiction of terms. The corset and satin knickers smart woman wears under her shooting or golfng costume are quite pretty as well as warm and comfortable. It is possi- bIe for her to wear combinations or vests of silk and wool for warmths S sake and to add a pretty piece of lace or insertion. Over that may be worn the dainty linen chenise. The silk pet ticoat is lined with flannel or, better still, for athletic purposes and wash knickers lined with cashmere or han- nel take the place of the petticoat. One of the new heavily kilted skirts is ideal for the golfer, who would be wise to
