I never saw him. he died before 1 was born- What 1 know I learned ' from older people. It always interested me very much to hear older people tell of by gone days. My grandfather was married the 7th of May 1786 to Elizabeth Jordan, of this marriage there were chiihen 5 boys and 4 girls. Tfte wi!* died the 28th of ' September, 1802. The 13th of September, 1S0S, he was married the second time to Elizabeth M. Earls, of'this marriage there were S children. 6 girls and 2 boys. My father, John M. Daniel was the youngest son of the last lot of children. He was born April 27tfirS$23. He#vas next to the youngest child, who was Koxannu P. Daniel, mother of Mr. C. P Harris of this county and grand mother of Mrs. J. M. Coleman,-of 'Macon, N. C. Notwithstanding the unusual number of his own children, grandfather, adopted an orphan, a nephew of his last wife, making IS children reared in one home. Not a single one died in infancy or youth, all lived to be grown men and women befor they left the parental roof. . It is saidjgv grandfather was an upright. Godly man. He and his household were Baptist, they held their membership at old Brown's meeting house, somewhere in the direction of ? Warrenton. I was never there but suppose it has been much changed and rercoie'ed sines those days. I have his bible and will give the names of its printers and publishers. Edenburg Printed by Mark and Charles Kerr, His .Majesty's Printers MDCCXCI In this bible is his family record, his marriages, and the births of his children, done in his own hand writing, the penmanship is Splendid. Mrs. Mary Quincy, mother Of Mr*. Julia Quincy Cole, of Wise, attended the marriage of one of the first daughters when she?Mrs. Quincy?was a small girl. Mrs. Quincy and her sister Delia acted as Candle bearers at the marriage?the flower-giris of today It was the custom?I won't say style, for I hop2 they didn't use that word in *ho3e days?then to niarry at home, prepare, a big wedding suDDer. and -have invited guest. The bride and groom and attendants usually assembled in an upper chamber, and came down steps to be married in a lower room. The candle bearers descended, before with a lighted candle set in a candle stick carrying it in the right hand, such was part of the littli Misses Mary and Oelilan Fleming al this marriage Those two little girls died a few vears ago at the tipe old ag< of 87 and 93 years. Four of my aunts of the last mar riage, married men from Franklin coun ty, near Louisburg, one married a mat from South Carolina and another, Aun Charlotte W. Daniel, married Mr. Johi R. Shearin, near Macon. My father fell heir to the home, lives and died there, his brother. Jame Madison Daniel owned a home adjoin tng the place. I have been told the history of th first children, but can't remember wel enough to relate. To say the least of all, there muBt b many connections somewhere. Mrs. Z. T. Terser, Middleburg, N.

A QUITO TAVERF The Ofd Cheshire Cheese, In the Heart of London. SERVES A FAMOUS PUDDING. S ! A Noble Pastry It Is, and It Was Sampled by Such Men as Gladstone, Dickens, Thackeray, Tonnyson, Trol* ' lop? and Whistler. Nearly all Americans whcu they go J ! to London make it u point to visit that j [qtialut old tavern in the heart of thej newspaper and printing business, the Old Cheshire Cheese, to partake of j | its famous pudding. ,, It is the Londoner's delight when he ! J gets back *.o fleet street to make a j rush for the pudding, and it is almost i the last thing he eats before leaving j! it. Travelers in the Sahara have seen j , tuirages of that pudding; and duriug ! ' j the Doer war the men shut up in i Liidysmith and MafeUing dreamed of j i it at regular intervals, i. Precisely at 1 o'clock p. 111. Torn cou- f il veys the pudding from the tirst to the tj inahi floor. It is .a big pudding, aud the price of it is .hist 2 shillings?that j Is to say. a feed of it is 2 shillings, as i much as you please, as uuiuy shares as you ask for. cut ami come again, all 1 [ for 4S cents of Auiericau coin. Cheap, j aye., and, oh. how good it is! It Is ' j worth crossing the ACiautlc to get a j snlflT of It, and the arouia lingers in ' > I the memory for many a d:%\ IBig? The dimensions are Falstaffian. It is a round earthen vessel something more than rwo dozen inches deep, with a diameter of about eighteen inches. I A noble pastry, my masters! j When it is placed upon the service i table an elliptical white crust meets the hungry gaze. Tom and his myr : tmaoiiA tase their places lu frout rnc; itig the-host. who. knife and spoou in <. , hand, poses w1rh pontic dignity and | , I benignant mien. It is n moment of j i solemn thought when every man hopes . that his portiou will be larger than his | friend's and that he will te blessed ! ] J with an abtiudunce of gravy. But j j J they ought from years of acquaintance i with the host to nnderstaud that Ills j | | hand Is as steady as his Judgment is ' j Impartial. I . , Xo more and nothing better.for one ) i than for another, ne waves his weap- . j ous. and the first onslaught is made, i , j The room is fuil of a delicious steam I ; bearing with it the concentrated es- j \ j sen es of ambrosial substuuces. The ? | I guests sniff it np and murmur choice 1 I blessings on the cook, the original In- ! ventor. the bouse and the host. It Is ) a time when men feel good, one to-1 | ward the other. ! , One smell of that podding makes i j j the whole world kin. This famous ^ pudding, which has tickled the palates 1 of thoujc'ds, is thos compounded: . A crust oi dour, water and suet. Beefsteak. I ; Sheep's kidneys. Larks. . i Mushrooms tfreshly gathered). < Oysters. Stock. 1 Pepper and sr.lt. j Bnt it is the boiling that does it. For at least twelve hours this heaven ! sent pudding Is k?*pt slowly simmering ' j in an immense mpper sj>ectally eonI structed for the purpose. It must not j boil quickly, but the same tempera- , tare l.e kept np the whole period. The ; steak assume* a Juicy tenderness: the larks?not sparrows, as some malignant spirit has suggested, although sparrow pudding is not to be despised ?are seethed to the bone, and you can chew up each little songster without no effort; the kidneys are soft and mushy and offer no resistance to the digestive organs, and the oysters, det spite their lengthened cooking, are not i leathery. The amalgamation and ns 5 simimnoo or me variety or consuiu- i ents are perfect; the result is Mis*. There is a story told of one eminent litterateur who had seven helpings of the pudding and still yearned for more. I and there is another remarkable nar- ] rative of four men who ordered a pud1 .ding of the regulation size and finished it among them. 3 J. Plerpont Morgan praised the puds ding, and Theodore Roosevelt was deh lighted with it. Lord Beaconsfieid bestowed his approbation thereon, and e Gladstone thought It far superior to his U famous "three courses." Dickens. Thackeray. Meredith. Swinburne. Tennyson. Trollope. Whistler. Leigh ton. e Sala. Phil May?all sorts of the best of men of their day have fed upon the pudding, and it no' doubt helped to Inspire tbelr work. Apparently any cook can fashion it, mix it, fix it. boil It. Let any cook try h- It. Lots of cooks have tried it. but the :? results hare not been satisfactory. '* There was a man who once ran the ^ Old Cheshire Cheese, and in his day >r the pnddlng first achieved Its grpat fame. When he sold the old hostelry and took a house in the financial dls-? trict he announced that the same pudding?the same In every respect?would be served every Saturday. I Many of the Cheese** old patrons j came around to celebrate. There was T* the size, but the r.nmw was wanting; ? there were tln? Identical material*, but ' the flavor was not In them. .It was not the same, not a hit of It. "There was something missing. It may have been the shades of the departed great ones of a bygone time.

Ill describing Persian industries Mrs. Hume lirilHth. in "Behind the Veil lu Persia uuil Turkish Arabia," tells how the beautiful carpels of that couutry ;re made, of course v without machinery of any kind The warp is stretched on a loom, which is merely a frame. The woof consists of short threat!* woven and knotted by baud without the aid of a shuttle. When a row is finished It is pressed tightly to the rest of the web I y meaus of a . omb "inserted Into i!te oar;>. "*?lie weavqr does not see the patlorn as lie works, for he sits with the reverse side of the web toward him. The looms are generally kept in an un. let ground vaulted room, often with water running through the renter. At inch loom three or {*>>: w? rkers sit. iccordinv: to the si;:o f *?h carpet. Soijsi'tlntes the workers consist of one man and two children, and occasionally the owner uses boys and girls only for tho weaving. "1 sat on the high stool by the side >f a rlny girl, whose lingers were working mwoy so last 1 couRl hardly follow her movenieuts. The overseer was walking up and down the room 'ailing out instruction* to the workers. To me it sounded a horrible, incoherent Juntbie. but the children seemed to understand it perfectly. "The overseer held in his Hand a i>aper. from which he was apparently reading our instructions. It was some:hiug like thifc: " 'To No. 1, three blue threads, one white, two green: No, 2. four yellow, ^pc white.* aud so on. each child repeating ufter the 'master' the instructions given. As it was all said in a liigh pitched monotone the result was ;on fusing and deafening. But there the iittte* weavers "sit. day in. day ont. week after week, in this dark, gloomy rellar. kept hard aW4t by the overseer." By JAMES A.

Shakespeare's last illness was a fever brought on by a "merry meeting" witb Drayton and Ben Jonson. Another authority.
