By Ralph and Terry Kovel THE BRONZE figure of a stag, doe and fawn with a tree stump was modeled by Antoine Barye. It is inches high. 4 Bronzes Once Ignored Highly Prized Pieces Nineteenth century French bronzes have become prized pieces in collectors' homes.

Ignored for many years, the work of "Les Animaliers," the French artists who made bronze figures of animals, are again in favor. The art world is fickle. When Antoine-Louis Barye made his bronze figures during the 1830s, they were refused at the famous art Salon because they were not considered sculpture. but a mere goldsmith's work. His bronze figures depicted animals and not humans.

The critics felt his work was not art. He decided to ignore the Salon and continue making his animal bronzes. He even equipped his own foundry to be sure that his animal figures were properly cast. It was not until 1850 that the art world changed its tastes and Barye bronzes were not only accepted, but acclaimed. Barye was born in 1796.

Ho had no formal schooling and started showing his art in 1819. He began to sculpt animals Contract Bridge ByB BECKER Test Your Dummy Play 1. You are declarer with the West hand at Six Spades and North leads the jack of hearts, covered by the Q-K-A. How would you play the hand? (Assume the trumps are divided 2-2 or 3-1.) 4AJ10863 A1074 4KQ9 VQ7 K93 AJ1097 2. You are declarer with the West hand at Six Diamonds and North leads the king of spades.

How would you play the hand? 4- VK84 AQ76542 4J106 4Q10632 VAQ9 103 1. The best plan is to establish dummy's clubs, at the same time utilizing a loser on loser play to divest yourself of your heart loser. Draw two rounds of trumps, play a club to the ace and return the jack. If South follows low, discard a heart. Ruff the heart return by North, cross to dummy with a trump, and play the ten of clubs.

If South has a club honor it is trapped, because you plan to discard if he plays low or ruff if he plays high. This line of play produces twelve tricks if South has one or both of the missing club honors, an extremely good chance. Of course, if South covers the jack of clubs you ruff it, return to dummy with a trump, and play the ten of clubs. 2. Ruff the spade and play a low club to the queen.

If the queen loses to the king, your only chance is to find South with the doubleton king of diamonds. Take a trump finesse as soon as possible and hope for the best. If the club finesse at trick two wins, play a low trump to the ace at trick three! If the jack or king appears, making six is automatic, since all you lose is a trump trick. If both opponents follow low on the trump lead to the ace, enter dummy with a heart and play the ten of diamonds. If South follows suit, you're home.

Note that after winning the club finesse at trick two, it is better to play a trump to the ace than risk an immediate trump finesse. The purpose is to guard against the possibility of North's holding the singleton king. With a slam at stake, the safety play of the ace is clearly best.

He even made arrangements to dissect dead animals at the zoo. When Barye died at 79, he had influenced many other bronze makers, including Rosa Bonheur. Pierre Jules Mene. J. Moigniez.

Emanuel Fremiet and others. Today with the renewed interest in bronzes, any signed bronze figure is value. Q. Can a coffee mill be very old 11 A. That depends on your interpretation of the word "old." The commercially made coffee mill or coffee grinder was popular in America just before the Civil War.

The demands of the war forced the companies into manufacturing military needs, but soon after the war. factories again began making coffee mills. Wooden and iron or iron and glass mills were popular. Most of the brass, copper or porcelain mills found today were made in Europe. When were salt shakers first used' 7 When were the silver tops or the glass tops used 9 A.

Although the patent records are not clear, it seems that the first salt shaker made with screw threads molded into the glass was made about 1863. Containers for salt were not called "shakers" until the 1880s. Earlier records refer to them as salt cups, sifters, boxes, etc. There may have been a few salt shakers with metal collars that were made before 1863 After the idea of the shake developed, salt producers had to make a fine salt that was "free flowing."
