\ writer in the Troy Times says
Spoons are made from various materials.
In India there have been found spoons
made of leather, in China of porcelain, in
modern Egypt of tortoise shell, in Persia
of hoswood. il Turkey nf agate and am
h2f. In the Koran, to prevent excessive
iuxury, it was forbidden to pat spoons of
gold and silver into the mouth, but this
is evaded iiy using these metals for the
handles only. In the South Sea Islands
thcy make spoons out of the dark cocoa
nut she'll, which is capable Of receiving 4
polish like ebony, and it Is curious how
the natives, without steel Instruments,
could carve them 50 beautifully. 1t has
been supposed that the seashcll mrlssel,
clam, cookie, scaliop, etc. were used its
spoons in early times. Next might be
the horn of animals, usually hollow at
one end. by degrees The h.:ralc became
elongated, and in many old spoons it WAS
made 1T right angles to the bowl. An
Italian table-service (knives, forks, and
spoons, made in the sixteenth century,
is now in the British museum. all having
handles of agate, the bowls of the spoons
being made of the same stone. Refine
Margat, the beautiful and dainty wife of
Henry Y. of France had to eat soup
feet bong, on account of the height of
her ruff In the middlc.ages brass, iron,
lcsd, pewter, pearl, and ebony were used
for making spoons. The apostle spoons
were introduced in England in the
early part of the si1thteetl century, and
derive their name from the fact that the
handle Of each WAS moulded into or
surm0unted by figure of one Of the
apostles The custom at that time was,
upon st. Paufs day January 25) which
is the first festival of an apostle in the
year, to make presents of such spoons,
the handles Of which aFc snrmounted
with miniature full-lengti figures Of the
apostles, each with ga glory" on his
head, chased or carved on the metal.
They were the usual gifts from sponsors
at baptisms. Shakespeare aIludcs to this
in his play of king Henry VII"
When Crammer, asked to staiid sponsor
to Anne Boleyn's newly born daughter,
afterwards Queen Elizabeth, appears to
hesitate on the ground that it was an
honor for a monarch, and too much for a
poor and humble subject, bluff King Hal
says, Come, come, my lord, you'd spare
the spoons" In Ben ,Johnson's Bar
tholomew Fair character says: "And
all this for the hope OLA couple of apostle
spoons and cup to eat caudle i'll"
Among the regalia or crown jewels of
England to be seen in the tower of Lon
don one of the oldest and most beautiful
is the coronation spoon. 1t is of pure
gold, encircled with gems, and at the
coronation of a British sovereign is used
to receive the consecrated oil out of the
anpulla, OF eagle-shaped receptacle which
holds it in bulk. This amounting spoon

came to Il small creek, beside which a
native was washing his shirt. The man
was sousing the garment up and down

ctDIItJ UT IdTlOr OrgduS.
These have become the most popular
of large musical Instruments. There are
now about two hundred and fifty makers
of them in the United States, who pro-
duce more than forty thousand organs
rer annum. Most of these are very poor
instruments. This is naturally so, be-
cause there are few articles in tie manu-
facttire of which so much saving can be
made by the use Of Inferior, improperly
prepared material, and inferior work
manship, and yet which, when finished,
show so little difference to the average
purchaser. The important parts of an
organ, made as well as they can be, cost
two or three times as much as if made as
low as possible. Yet, wheh The organ is
doiie, 1t IS not easy from casual hearings
to tell the difference between the best
and very poor one. Especially when
shown by one who knows how to cover
up defects, to one who has not special
skill in such matters, it is not difficult
to make poor organ appear good one
The temptation to makers, then, to
produce, at Il fraction of The cost, an or
gan which will sell almost lis we'll a5 a
good one is almost irresistible. Hence
the fact that so few good organs are made
and so many poor ones, and that the
country is flooded with pedders and
dealers selling these poor organs, which
pay such large profits. The buyer Of She
poor organ does not fail to find out his
mistake after a while The thin reedy
tone of his cheap organ soon becomes
offensive; it works noisily and roughly,
is constantly cut Of order, and becomes
useless by the time a really good instfu<
ment would have been. getting into its
prime. A good organ otigl,t TO last
generation, at least Il poor one may last
five years, with considerable tinkering, or
may break down mitch sooner.
There is one safe way. Get genuine
production of one of the very best makers
and you cannot go astray. Among these
undoubtedly stands pre-eminent the Ma
son u Hamlin Organ Co., whose organs
are so well known that other makers are
generally content to claim that they can
make DIS good an organ as the Mason &
Hamlin. They invented and introduced
the Cabinet or Parlor Organ in its i'm
proved form, started with and have al
ways closely adhered to the policy of
making only the best work, have shown
such skill as has given their organs the
highest reputation, not only in this coun-
try but also in Europe. At the great
exposition at Vienna, III competition with
eighty of the best makers in the world,
they obtained the highest medals. To
enumerate the competitions at which
they have received similar honors would
be to give list of the fairs at which they
have exhibited; and to mention the
prominent musicians who recommend
their organs as uhequaled would really
be to give a very good list of the most
illustrious musical names in the country,
with good representation in Europe.
One who obtains Mason & Hamlin
Cabinet Organ need have no doubt that
he has the best instrument of its class
which can be made.-New York Idepen-
