when well made, it will keep time after

The earliest grandfather's clocks were
very narrow 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

The plain white faces did not come in
until we'll 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
zenith century. The clocks made after
the arrival of William and Mary were
lavishly adorned with marquetry by
the many Dutch artihcers attracted to
England by the presence of a Holland
err on the throne. In time lacquer
ndornments were added. These old
clocks had a single finger of elaborate
design. A very early example of the
Dutch-English design has floral mar

DELICIOUS
VEGETABLE
ENTREES

E N 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
a separate vegetable entree or else
what the French term a farinage at
dinner is one which every housewife
with an eye to economy win approve.
The following recipes make delicious
vegetable entrees:
Butter beans are delicious when
served a Ia creme ana cannot be called
expensive since one pound of them may
be bought at a price which varies from
to 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 sailed 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; d.
rectly it melts add to it a teaspocnful
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 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
nice vegetable entree or an exceedingly
dainty salad. At the Restaurant Duvai
in Paris lentil salad is a well known
and very delicious dish indeed.
A salad of green peas may be made
az follows: Boil the dried peas till tez-
der. as directed. then drain carefuIT5.
Leave till cold. Dress with mint sauce
and use a very little oil. Garnish with
grated yolk of hard boiled egg and

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-

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

To trace the clocks of the present day
back to their origin is a 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

length and position. The Endicott sun
