DISHES.
Dishes for dinner, for breakfast, for tea,
Dishes that come far over the sea.
wr AN, having control of the world
V/1 Rn d th’ 11 ? 8 therein, naturally,
Jl. y- I when hungry, provides for his
K®) comfort not only in prepar
ing food tnat is palatable, but in design
ing attractive dishes from which to serve
the food he er joys. Much skill and taste
are displayed in the numerous dishes that
adorn our tables. The decorative ware of
the present day is very ornamental, rep
resenting in beautiful coloring, flowers
from field and garden, birds of gorgeous
plumage, and the inhabitants of the old
ocean and of limpid streams. As I enjoy
dinner more than the appetizing breakfast
or the less formal tea, it occurred to me to
write something about the dishes used at
this all important meal.
In the olden time it was a great compli
ment to be invited to dinner. We read
in the Bible that Joseph’s brethern were
invited to “dine with him at noon.”
When Queen Esther came forth with
royal rooes, to beg mercy for her country
men, she invited the king and Haman to
dinner. The celebrated Lady Suffolk
sacrificed her beautiful hair, her husband’s
finances being reduced, in order that she
might give a dinner to a great man.
Every one likes to eat from clean dishes,
but all are not so fastidious as a gentleman
whom I heard say that he had rather eat
a homely meal of bread, bacon and water,
served from dishes of china, handsome
silver and sparkling glass, than a sump
tuous feast served from homely dishes, or
from those that contained food unsuited to
them. An over-fastidious friend could
not eat strawberries because they were
served from a steak dish instead of a
berry bowl, though I know in her heart
she was longing for some of the scarlet
beauties.
Dining in the country on one occasion,
soup was served from a coarse earthern
ware cup and saucer, just as they would
serve coffee, minus the spoon; I’ll admit
I gave a little shudder before I “bolted”
it down.
Is hunger really the best sauce? Pepys
enjoyed eating from fine dishes and his
vanity was gratified in seeing his dinner
guests “all gaze to see themielves so nobly
in plate.”
The dish, generally called tureen, of
round or oval shape, holding within its
capacious depths soup made from okra,
corn and tomatoes, is so full of tempintg
odors when its well fitting lid is removed,
you feel as if it deserves to stand at the
head of the table and reign as queen.
The butter dish is found on every table,
whether it be the humble saucer that
rightly belongs to the coffee cup, or the
sparkling cut glass set in richly carved
silver. No dish can be too exquisitely
designed for golden butter; it brings to
our minds a rural picture of cows standing
knee deep in blue grass or bending lowly
heads over clover blossoms. Jael under
stood the art of pleasing the eye, as well
as the palate, when she brought Si sera
“butter in a lordly dish.”
The large dish usually placed before the
host, containing the meats, deserves to oc
cupy this conspicuous place and rank
as king. The gravy howl or boat is found
near by the meat dish; some of the meat
dishes in olden times were made with a
deep place in one corner for the gravy.
The side dishes, or entrees as the French
say, are cf various shapes and sizes, with
or without covers, and are very attractive
with their inviting contents. Some dishes
in the shape of small plates for cake or
fruit are so true to nature that you seem
to smell violets in the one, or feel tempted
to remove from the other, instead of the
fruit itself, the blushing peach beneath.
Some persons have real affection for
certain dishes, especially those aroutld
which childish memories linger. My recol
lection goes back to a white china plate,
in the shape of a star, upon which cheese
was always served; and the creamy sub
stance never tasted so well from any other
dish.
The vessels containing the difleren t bever
ages which man enjoys, and the cups from
which he drinks at ordinary dinners or at
celebrated feasts, are of various kinds—
some of them cf curious design and made
from elm, maple or holly. There are
broad-mouthed dishes, noggins, ale and
punch-bowls, wassail-bawls and tankards.
The shepherds and harvesters in olden
times had bottles made of leather. Some
times drinking vessels were made from
horns of animals, or from shells of fishes,
shining like pearls in the bright sun-light.
Some wine cups and bowls are white, some
are gilt all over, and made either with or
without covers. The “loving cup” used
so much in London at the big dinners had
a cover which was removed by the nearest
neighbor at find the cup passed on to
WOMAN’S WORK.
the next. The cup was filled with spiced
wine, and all drinking from the same cup
is a beautiful old custom implying that
sweet ‘-charity that thinketh no evil”—
the mutual service and brotherly love of
There is something weird and horrible
in using the human skull as a drinking
cup, yet the Scythian governors used them
at their feasts to commemorate their
victories. Who would like to eat at such
a dinner if compelled by etiquette to drink
from such a vessel! One had ratherdrink
where “rosy wine smiles in golden cups”
or from those made of precious stones.
There is a curious drinking vessel at the
Hermitage, a kind of double cup with only
one bottom; when one is turned up the
other is turned down. It is made of
hickory wood. A still more curious and
interesting article to be found there is a
pitcher made from the wood of the elm
tree and presented to Gen. Jackson by the
coopers of Philadelphia. “Although not
larger than a common cream jug, it con
tains seven hundred and fifty staves; the
hoops, lip and handle are of silver; the
bottom is a magnifying glass which en
ables you to see the joints, which are not
visible to the naked eye.” This elm tree
was the one under which William Penn
made the celebrated Indian Treaty.
As we began dinner with the tureen,
then followed with the various dishes for
vegetables, meats, gravies, pickles and
salads, next will come the dishes for
dessert, full of poetic beauty. So the din
ner ends and “Mocha’s berry, from Arabia,
pure, in small, fine, china cups came in
at last.” Many coffee cups are so elegant
in their workmanship that they charm the
eye of every woman. No wonder the
heads of the Paris women were turned
when this delightful beverage was for the
first time handed them by Turkish slaves
on bended knees, served from brilliant
porcelain cups, and with napkins fringed
with gold. This drink is liked by almost
every one, whether sipped by kings from
cups of silver or gold bedecked with
jewels, or poured from the tin coffee pot
that hugs the fire all day, into the coarse
clav cup of the laborer.
Os all the skilled hands to whose in
genuity and artistic skill we owe our
beautiful dishes, the one who most merits
our gratitude and praise is Palissey, whose
natural talent and untiring energy gave
fine porcelain to Europe, which was valued
for its fineness of material, elegance of
form, and beauty of decoration.

How A. W. James Made Money.
I saw that Dish Washers were advertis
ed by several firms. 1 sent and got one
and sold a good many to my neighbors
and made some money, but I saw that Bert
Dawson, Columbus, Onio, had just gotten
out a new Dish Washer called the Queen
which was the latest patented machine in
the market and had ail the improvements,
by which a person could wash dishes,
vegetables, silverware and clothing in one
minute. I got the agency and sold five
the first day and my prophets were sls,
and I shall easily make S9O before the
month is out as everybody wants the
newest and best Dish Washer there is
going, and it is easy to sell what people
want. These hard times anyone who
wants to make a little money honestly can
do as I have done. Mr. Dawson referred
me to the Cardington Bank, Mt. Gilead
Bank and Quaker City Bank, so I knew
he was periectly responsible. Anyone can
get circulars about the Queen by writing
to Mr. Dawson as above.
