Antiquity Of the Spoon.

The use of the spoon is widespread,
and dates from remote antiquity. The
form which we tise at the present day
small oval bowl, provided With shank
and llattened handles not that which
has been universally adopted. IL we
look into the manners and customs of
some of the people less civilized than
we-the Kabyles, for eXample-we shall
find thatthey use n round wooden spoon.
Romans also used round spoon, which
was made of copper. We might Doe led
from the latter fact, to infer that the
primitive form OF this titensil was found.
ahd that the oval shape is q toihpara-
lively modern invention. But stich is
not the case, for NJ Chantree, in making
some excavations on the borders If Lake
Paladan, the waters of which had been
partially drawn of, found. i'm good
state Of preservation, wooden spoons
which in share were nearly like those
in use at the present day, the only
difference being i'm the form Of the
handle, which was no wider than the
shank. The Heolithic people used oval
spoons made OF baked clay. -London
