TUB BARjrWBLL PBOPLB-SBNTOTBL. BAKNWHX. SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11 1933 EXETER CATHEDRAL ^ IS 800 YEARS OLD Site Wat Once Occupied hj Saxon Churches. Washington.—Exeter, ancient capi tal of England’s southwest, and county town of Devon, Is celebrating the eight hundredth anniversary of the conse cration of her famous cathedral. “Even older than the cathedral Is the Bishopric of Devon and Cornwall, which was transferred to Exeter by Edward I In 1050." says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. “The building of the cathedral was be gun sixty years later under William the Conqueror. The site chosen had already been twice occupied by Saxon churches, the first built by Athelstan, the second by Canute. “All that remains today of the orig inal Norman structure are two low massive towers at either end of the transept. The rest of the cathedral was completely rebuilt during the Fourteenth century In the rich style of Decorated Gothic. “Walter de Stapeldon, bishop of Ex eter, and one of the foremost patrons of English art and letters during the early Fourteenth century, had a large share in this transformation. It was Stapeldon also who In ^.114 founded Exeter college, Oxford; and In 1332, Exeter grammar school. Impressive Edifice. •■(jpon entering the cathedral one receives an Impression of great length and remarkable symmetry of design. Each part Is balanced; and the long, low effect Increased by an unbroken roofline extending through nave and choir. On the wall of the north tran sept Is a great clock which has ticked since the days of Edward II In the Fourteenth century. It has two dials, one showing the hours and the moon’s phases, the other recording the min utes. In the library Is the ancient Codex Exonlensus, a Ninth century collection of Anglo-Saxon poetry, which has been In the possession of the cathedral since the Eleventh cen tury. “All the history and loyal. Independ ent spirit of the west country la con centrated In Exeter, Queen Elizabeth's ‘ever faithful city.’ As a Koman town, Isca Damnonlorutn, It Is a little young er than Paris and ns old as Ixindon. When the Uomnns left It In the Fifth century it became the Cner I sc of the Britons and the Exancestre of the Saxons. “During succeeding centuries It en- dureo countless sieges; Saxons, Brit ons. Danes, and Nonuaus fought to enter the walls. loiter the loyal towns men staunchly upheld their king In many a revolt. Exeter still remem bers the time that Edward the Con fessor‘spent Christmas there; and the day when William of Orange entered the gates in state. “Modern Exeter occupies a broad ridge of land on the left hank of the River Exe. At the head of this ridge, hidden by Ivy, and set in a wide shad ed park, are the ruins of Rougeinont castle, built by William the Conqueror. “Narrow, stone-paved streets wind between ancient timbered houses, crumbling chapels, and tine old churehes. Exeter is a veritable elty of churches. In the time of William the Conqueror she possessed no less than twenty-nine! Across the square from the cathedral stands Mol’s coffee house, favorite meeting place of those gay adventurers of Devon—Drake, Hawkins, Gilbert, and Raleigh. ‘The Guildhall with its overhang ing facade. Is said to In* the oldest mu nicipal building in Great Rritain. Here the wealthy merchants of the city transacted their business in the time of Queen Elizabeth, when Exeter was noted for the manufacture of woolepp. It was also during •Elizabeth’s reign that the Exeter shift canal was built— the first canal in England to permit sea going vessels to reach an Inland port. “Exeter today has a population of over 50,000, and Is an Important cen ter of agricultural trade. Its various Industries include brewing, paper mak ing, and iron founding. Tourist traffic during the summer season Is very heavy, especially since It Is well locat ed as a base for tours of the west country. Dally motor busses leave the huge city terminal for all parts of Devon and Cornwall." Rare Mice Discovered by California Expert Sequoia National Park, Calif.—A. rare species of mice, equipped with pockets in which they carry food, was discovered here by Prof. Joseph Dixon, University of California mammalogist. Professor Dixon found the little ani mals on Yucca Point at an altitude considerably above that normally sought by mice. He described them as part of one ol the most Interesting “triangles” in nature. Seeds of the yucca plant are scattered by white Yucca moths, -picked up by the pocket mice and car ried to their burrows, where, forgotten, £hey take root and grow. Woman Digs Up Ancient ^ Spanish Coin in Garden Grants Pass, Ore,—Mrs. F. L. Ru bins takes a keen delight In puttering about in her garden here since she dog up an old Spanish coin with the date 1808 on it The piece was as shiny as a new coin, as It had been minted during the times when ao alloy mas used In the making of money, and It contained e rather excellent Itkeneee mt King Carloe IV on its surface. T HIS happened in pre-prohibi tion days. “How can you take such an interest in your breakfast?" asked a battered old rounder of a rosy cheeked friend who was ordering his breakfast in a restaurant with great care. “It’s the best meal of the day for me.” replied the latter. “How can you take any Interest In your breakfast at all?” “I can’t!” groaned the latter, and turned away. In case you would like to know what the man who enjoyed his breakfast ordered, here Is his menu. It will laste even better, If served in your own home. In your own home use canned figs, and leave them In the las box over night. After this breakfast you’ll start off to business whist ling, or whatever It is that you do when you feel just right. Figa with Cream Cereal Deviled Cream Toast Strawberry Preserves Coffee And here’s how to make tV.e. Deviled Cream Toast: Make a cream sauce of three tablespcT* butter, three tablespoons flour ap ! two cups milk (or diluted evlp- orated milk.) Add the contents of a 2%-ounce can of deviled hat: and stir smooth. Season to tasto with salt and pepper and serve on toast. Serves six.* O NE way to make vegetables more delicious and to vary their taste is to mix several kinds together. One way to make these dishes more economical and, at the same time, to have a wider variety of vegetables available is to mix canned vegetables with the fresh. Here are some of the com binations we would suggest: Creamed Mired Vegetables: Peel one large or two small cu cumbers. and slice thin. Slice one cup of radishes thin without peel ing. Boil separately until tender, drain and combine with the hot drained contents of a No. 1 can of peas. Add one cup of white sauce, and season to taste. Serves six or eight. Southern Peas and Onions: Glean one bunch young onions and cut off tops. Then split them The Fraternal Tomato T HE tomato is a gregariour chap. He’ll go along with almost any other food in bro therly fashion and he doesn’t care whether the food la a meat or a vegetable as long as it and he are well cooked. He is quite content and toqthsome, for instance, In _such a combination as: Kidney Beans with Fresh To matoes: Put alternate layers of kidney beans from a lOVfe-ounce can and four sliced ripe tomatoes ' i Q a battered baking dish, season ing each layer of tomatoea with ■alt and pepper. Cover top with battered cram be, and lay three long slices bacoa. cut la halvea. on top. Baka in medium oven till to matoes are done, and the crumbs brown and bacon crisp. Serves six. Chummy with Meat Swiss Steak with Tomatoes: Have one and three-quarters pounds yound steak cut about three-fourths inch thick. Dredge both sides with flour and pound with the edge of a heavy plate until the fibres are well broken. Brown both sides in plenty of drippings In a large skillet. Add one large thinly sliced onion, one bay leaf, one No. 2 can tomatoes, aalt and pepper to taste; cover and simmer until very tender, about one and one-half hours. Serves six.* Mix Your Vegetables lengthwise, and add with one slice bacon to half the contents of a No. 2 can peas. Add three-fourths cup boiling water, and boll until onions arc tender. Add more wa ter if necessary. Remove bacon, season to taste with salt and pep per, and serve. The liquid should he cooked almost away. Serves four. In Salads, Too Pea and Potato Salad: Drain one 8-ouuce can peas, add one and one-half cups diced boiled pota- toos, one tablespoon chopped \ onion and one Jablespocn chopped pimiento, and marinate in four tablespoons French dressing. Add two tablespoons chopped walnuts and one-third cup mayonnaise, and season to taste with salt, pep per and celery salt. Serve on let tuce leaves. Serves four.* jviucn uncertainly wer Correct Plural of “Bus” Tbs Listener” discussing in the Boston Transcript the plural of “bus,” ■ays: The approved plural of “omni bus, of which word “bus” is a contrac tion, Is “omnibuses,” and by some It is assumed that the same rule applies to “has,” but It should be evident. In the Listener's opinion, that another rule should apply in the case of the con traction. The doubling of letters for plurals or for the Indication of other parts of speech Is Influenced by pro nunciation as well as by etymology and In the case of the word “omni bus’’ the accent being on the first syl lable, there Is no occasion for doubling the final “s” In the plural to prevent a mispronunciation. But in the con traction “bus” there Is distinctly occa sion for the doubling, for “buses,” with the single “s’ would naturally be pro nounced to rhyme with “abuses,” or “sluices.” As*Qt is to be pronounced “busses,” it shouTtJsjje so spelled. The fact that “buss” Inf\e singular may mean a kiss, as well ak^-a vehicle for the transportation of passengers, need not influence the case at all since in the English language there are many words which have different meanings. Siddons, Famed British Actress, Born in Wales Sarah Siddons, famed as the great est of British tragic actresses, was born In W’ales. Her father was Roger Kemble, manager of a theatrical com pany, and from her childhood Sarah worked on the stage. She was married to William Sid dons, a member of the company, when she was seventeen, and soon after wards she was recommended to Gar rick, resulting In her playing Portia In the “Merchant of Venice,” at Drury Lane, her salary being £5 a week. She did not win unqualified success, and was not engaged for the next season. For the next six years she worked in the provinces. Invited to return to Drury Lane be cause of the reputation she had now achieved, she played Isabella in “The Fatal Marriage,” and won an immedi ate and permanent success in I/*n- don, her histrionic ability being con sidered perfect. She left the stage in 1S12, i.nd lived In retirement for twenty years. A statue of her, by Chantry, Is In West minster abbey. Hxwk Moth Unique The hawk moth is one !iis<*et nature was at pains to provide with an ade quate means of feeding itself. These moths, which feed on flowers, have a long tul>e for extracting the honey which often attains a length t« ice that of the long, spindie-sh»|ted body of the moth Itself. This tnhe. during flight, is curled up spring fashion and tucked away under the lo’ad of the moth, where It di»es not Interfere with the flight. In its feeding habit, the hawk moth, or sphinx, hovers over plants much after the fashion of the hum ming bird. The tomato worm and the tobacco worm are both larvae of the hawk moth. California Lika* Pepper* Peppers have t>eeu a favored vege table in California since the found- , Ing of the missions. They had a place and first place, too, in the mission gardens. Later, during the “splendid Idle *408.” pcppePK were highly prized In the gardens of the ranchos and few dishes came oftt of the kitchen with out some use of the tmngent chill. Long strings of red pods were much in evidence about the ohLsuneh homes and. to this day, those who wi>sh to create atmosphere around their mod ern “early California” style homes, se cure strings of rhili as one of the decorative features. — Los Angeles Times.
