Chippendale \Chip"pen*dale\, a.       Designating furniture designed, or like that designed, by       Thomas Chippendale, an English cabinetmaker of the 18th       century. Chippendale furniture was generally of simple but       graceful outline with delicately carved rococo ornamentation,       sculptured either in the solid wood or, in the cheaper       specimens, separately and glued on. In the more elaborate       pieces three types are recognized: {French Chippendale},       having much detail, like Louis Quatorze and Louis Quinze;       {Chinese Chippendale}, marked by latticework and pagodalike       pediments; and {Gothic Chippendale}, attempting to adapt       medieval details. The forms, as of the cabriole and       chairbacks, often resemble Queen Anne. In chairs, the seat is       widened at the front, and the back toward the top widened and       bent backward, except in Chinese Chippendale, in which the       backs are usually rectangular. -- {Chip"pen*dal*ism}, n.                   It must be clearly and unmistakably understood, then,                that, whenever painted (that is to say, decorated with                painted enrichment) or inlaid furniture is described as                Chippendale, no matter where or by whom, it is a                million chances to one that the description is                incorrect.                                             --R.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fornication       in every form of it was sternly condemned by the Mosaic law       (Lev. 21:9; 19:29; Deut. 22:20, 21, 23-29; 23:18; Ex. 22:16).       (See {ADULTERY}.)                But this word is more frequently used in a symbolical than in       its ordinary sense. It frequently means a forsaking of God or a       following after idols (Isa. 1:2; Jer. 2:20; Ezek. 16; Hos. 1:2;       2:1-5; Jer. 3:8,9).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Frankincense       (Heb. lebonah; Gr. libanos, i.e., "white"), an odorous resin       imported from Arabia (Isa. 60:6; Jer. 6:20), yet also growing in       Palestine (Cant. 4:14). It was one of the ingredients in the       perfume of the sanctuary (Ex. 30:34), and was used as an       accompaniment of the meat-offering (Lev. 2:1, 16; 6:15; 24:7).       When burnt it emitted a fragrant odour, and hence the incense       became a symbol of the Divine name (Mal. 1:11; Cant. 1:3) and an       emblem of prayer (Ps. 141:2; Luke 1:10; Rev. 5:8; 8:3).                This frankincense, or olibanum, used by the Jews in the temple       services is not to be confounded with the frankincense of modern       commerce, which is an exudation of the Norway spruce fir, the       Pinus abies. It was probably a resin from the Indian tree known       to botanists by the name of Boswellia serrata or thurifera,       which grows to the height of forty feet.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Frying-pan       (Heb. marhesheth, a "boiler"), a pot for boiling meat (Lev. 2:7;       7:9).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Furnace       (1.) Chald. attun, a large furnace with a wide open mouth, at       the top of which materials were cast in (Dan. 3:22, 23; comp.       Jer. 29:22). This furnace would be in constant requisition, for       the Babylonians disposed of their dead by cremation, as did also       the Accadians who invaded Mesopotamia.                (2.) Heb. kibshan, a smelting furnace (Gen. 19:28), also a       lime-kiln (Isa. 33:12; Amos 2:1).                (3.) Heb. kur, a refining furnace (Prov. 17:3; 27:21; Ezek.       22:18).                (4.) Heb. alil, a crucible; only used in Ps. 12:6.                (5.) Heb. tannur, oven for baking bread (Gen. 15:17; Isa.       31:9; Neh. 3:11). It was a large pot, narrowing towards the top.       When it was heated by a fire made within, the dough was spread       over the heated surface, and thus was baked. "A smoking furnace       and a burning lamp" (Gen. 15:17), the symbol of the presence of       the Almighty, passed between the divided pieces of Abraham's       sacrifice in ratification of the covenant God made with him.       (See {OVEN}.)                (6.) Gr. kamnos, a furnace, kiln, or oven (Matt. 13:42, 50;       Rev. 1:15; 9:2).

Large tracts of fertile land, the application of    modern technology, and subsidies have combined to make it the leading    agricultural producer in Western Europe. Largely self-sufficient in    agricultural products, France is a major exporter of wheat and dairy    products. The industrial sector generates about one-quarter of GDP,    and the growing services sector has become crucial to the economy.    Following stagnation and recession in 1991-93, French GDP in 1994    expanded 2.4%. Growth in 1995 is expected to be in the 3.0% to 3.5%    range. Persistently high unemployment will still pose a major problem    for the government. Paris remains committed to maintaining the    franc-deutsche mark parity, which has kept French interest rates high    despite France's low inflation. Although the pace of economic and    financial integration within the European Union has slowed down,    integration presumably will remain a major force shaping the fortunes    of the various economic sectors over the next few years.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $1.0801 trillion    (1994 est.)       National product real growth rate: 2.4% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $18,670 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 1.6% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 12.6% (yearend 1994)       Budget:    revenues: $220.5 billion    expenditures: $249.1 billion, including capital expenditures of $47    billion (1993 budget)       Exports: $249.2 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: machinery and transportation equipment, chemicals,    foodstuffs, agricultural products, iron and steel products, textiles    and clothing    partners: Germany 18.6%, Italy 11.0%, Spain 11.0%, Belgium-Luxembourg    9.1%, UK 8.8%, Netherlands 7.9%, US 6.4%, Japan 2.0%, FSU 0.7% (1991    est.)       Imports: $238.1 billion (c.i.f., 1994 est.)    commodities: crude oil, machinery and equipment, agricultural    products, chemicals, iron and steel products    partners: Germany 17.8%, Italy 10.9%, US 9.5%, Netherlands 8.9%, Spain    8.8%, Belgium-Luxembourg 8.5%, UK 7.5%, Japan 4.1%, FSU 1.3% (1991    est.)       External debt: $300 billion (1993 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 2.6% (1994 est.)       Electricity:    capacity: 105,250,000 kW    production: 447 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 6,149 kWh (1993)       Industries: steel, machinery, chemicals, automobiles, metallurgy,    aircraft, electronics, mining, textiles, food processing, tourism       Agriculture: accounts for 4% of GDP (including fishing and forestry);

Besides the French space center at Kourou,    fishing and forestry are the most important economic activities, with    exports of fish and fish products (mostly shrimp) accounting for more    than 60% of total revenue in 1992. The large reserves of tropical    hardwoods, not fully exploited, support an expanding sawmill industry    that provides sawn logs for export. Cultivation of crops - rice,    cassava, bananas, and sugarcane - is limited to the coastal area,    where the population is largely concentrated. French Guiana is heavily    dependent on imports of food and energy.
