A rather sad affair took place on one

emerged from q dry-goods store, when
one of them fell on the sidewalk with

The Fork.

In rne ancient world the fork for eat,
ing was unknown. and the well-bred
sought to display as much delicacy as
possible in the operation of conveying
food to the mouth with the fingers. 1t
was a thousand years ago when the first
mention of the Jorehrtta was made in
Italian literature, and it was then spoken
OF as introduced into Venice by a Byzan-
tine princess. 1t was at first not favora-
bly, received, and Tor Two centuries came
little mo use, either in Italy or the rest
of Europe. No mention OF a fork was
made in the catalogue of the table fur
nishings at the wedding of Maria Sforza-
Visconti as late as 1898. Still, the 18th
century saw its use spreading in France.
and the 10th in Germany. 1t was not
until the 18th that it was introduced in
England.

its ready absorption of water when
heated. which for time makes it al
most fre-proof. The quiekness with
which fires are extinguished in San

the celebrity with which blazing build
