gnomon-the triangular piece whose
shadow points out the time on the

The sundial became a popular garden
ornament in the sunny parts Of Europe
in the fifteenth century. There were
older time recorders. There were the

time of their burning. lamps that indi-

rich men who could we'll afford clock,
the cost of which was less than the cost
of an ornamental sundiaL The peasant
who could not afford a clock did not
need sundial. because the position Of
the sun, or his own shadow. gave him
all the information he needed or wanted
about the time of day.
The south European fashion Of the
sundial spread to England with the
fashion of the formal or Italian gar
Scotch gentry fed to Virginia and
Maryland. or merely emigrated to those
colonies. they took with them the idea
that garden was not garden without
sundial any more than it could be a
garden without box hedge, a border

gravel walk and a rustic bench or q
rustic summer house.
In some cases it has been said they
brought their sundials with them from
their home in the old world and trans
planted 1t, or trans-set it. in their new
world garden. All through the older
settled portions of Virginia and Mary
land, and including the District of
Columbia, the landscape is sparsely
dotted with old sundials or their
stumps. On every place where there
was sundial clock run by wheels
and weights licked in the manor house
or the mansion house, and every owner
of sundial in these parts of the coun-
try carried gold watch, or at least a
si1ver-case watch. in a fob pocket of
his small clothes. But there is some-

is interesting to great many per-

Old "TippIes" Made by
the Early Housekeepers

VIZ HETHER there will be a revival
during the next few years of the
domestic art of making wine is a mat
ter or pure conjecture, but il is inter-
esting to recall that formerly many
common things that grow around us
were utilized by thrifty housewives in
the preparation of "tipples" that were
more or less mild or more or less DO
tent Generally the wine-makine DO
tentialities of these things are little
thought of now. and in most homes.
even in country homes. wine-making
processes have been forgotten.
Reference has recently been made to
the making of dandelion wine. a sweet
and potent wine prepared with the aid
of the golden flowers of the dandelion
Elderberry wine and elderfiower wine
were made in most of the rural homes
In the Potomac country a generation or
so ago. Blackberries were gathered in
dustriously by the children for con-
version into jam and wine or cordial.
and raSpberries were especially sought
after that wine could be made from
them. 1t Is probable that In the minds
of elderly persons today there is pre-
served better memory of raspberry
vinegar than of raspberry wine, for II
was popularly believed that raspberry
vinegar was superior to that made from
apples.
In cherry time the fruit was treas
ured because IL could be preserved or
converted into familiar tipple called
cherry bounce drink which at GER
tain stages of its aging" or de-
velopment was very exhilarating and
intoxicating.
The flavor of gooseberry wine was
known and esteemed by most of the
grandmothers and grandfathers OF
present washingtonians.
On all the old farms there was a little
distillery. though on some farms 1t was
not so little. just as there was an ice
house and a smokehouse. where the
peaches and apples and grapes could be
distilled into fruit brandy.
Cider making was ceremony, and in
the late fall when frost had pinched
and somewhat shriveled the persim-
mons strange potation called persim-
mon beer was made.
Parsnip wine was made by British
housewives before emigration to Ameri-
ca set in, and the art of making this
wine was brought over by the early
immigrants. There was also in colonial
times in America a drink which was
called peppermint wine, or peppermint
liqueur.

its mistakes. Like the case of the

The speaker was Gen. Charles B.
Hall of Portland. He continued
An old lady once died at Spa. Her
nephew and heir ordered the body sent
home. But when the young man
opened the coffin to have one last look
at the remains. he beheld, instead of
his beloved Aunt Jemima, the corpse
of a general, in full uniform. the
breast covered with military medals.
