*** Grains of Paradise.’””—Small pungent seeds brought from tbe East Indies. 
+“Turnsole.”—A species of Heliotrope, of which ‘‘ Gerard’s Herbal,” p. 334 (edit. 1636), gives 
this quaint account:—‘‘ With the smaller Tornesale they in France doe die linnen rags and clouts 
into a perfect purple colour, wherewith cooks and confectioners do colour jellies, wine, meats, and 
sundry confections: which clouts in shops be called Tornesales after the nature of the herbes. The 
name,”’ says Gerard. ‘‘ was given by reason of its flowering in the summer solstice, at which time 
_ the Sun being farthest gone from the Equinoctial Circle, returned to the same.” 
_* ‘* Hippocras,”—This was not a pure wine, but a compound of red or white wine with spices, as 
cinnamon and sugar, strained through a woollen bag. The name is either derived from the com- 
pound being called (as it was) ‘* Vintm Hippocratis,’’ the wine of that ancient physician; or from 
the woollen strainer, called by apothecaries Hippocrates’s sleeve. Should any reader wish to know 
of a receipt for making this, there is one in ‘‘ Nares’s Glossary,’? It must have been a somewhat 
muddy beverage. _John Aubrey, in his Life of Dr. Kettle, an eccentric President of Trinity College, 
Oxford, says ‘* Mistress Howe of Grendon once sent the Doctor a present of Hippocras and some 
fine cheese-cakes, by a plain country fellow, her servant. The Doctor takes the wine, ‘ What!’? 
Says he, ‘* didst thou take this drink out of a ditch?”? 
$ “Quarters,” “ quarries,” or ‘* quarrions,’’ were square lumps of wax with a wick in the centre. 
‘ ||This word is sometimes written ‘‘ praise,” ‘‘ peris,” or ‘ parische.” ‘‘ Candells wax” and 
candells peris,’’ frequently occur in household accounts of much earlier date. : 
b I “ Accats : *? meaning provisions, delicacies, purchased. From the the French aeheter, to buy. 
The ‘Clerk of the Acatery ” was an officer in the King’s Household. The words are now altered 
to a “‘Caterer,” and “ Cates,”
