Origin OF the Fork.

Forks made their appearance about
Tho tenth century. We find mention
shat a certain Father Galveston, favor
ted of Edward H., had sixty silver
spoons and three forks. But, 1t is
added, that these three forks were i'd
ended solely for tho eating Of pears.
Queen Clemence, of Hungary, in 1928,
was the posscssor OF thirteen spoons and
one fork, and Queen Anne, of Bourbon,
had ono of gold which was inherited by
Charles v, king of France. This king
himself owned seven or eight, according
TO an inventory made in 1880. The one
left him by will he subsequently had Or
namented with precious stones.
The silvcrwarc OF Chancellor Duprat,
which an expert declared to be worth
E33, SiS "A considerable amount in those
days Qj36)-included only one fork,
while it contained two dozen spoons.
The inventory of the possessions of the
Prince of Condo 1853 records but one
fork. 1t is described as silver.coated
with gold, and was reserved exclusively
for the use of the prince.
The first inventory in which number
Of forks are mentioned is that of Gabri-
,lle d 'Estrees $500. 1t includes TWEEN
~, of which eight were made of silver,
The others being of iron with coral
handles. But these forks were used only
FOR toasting bread, and Gabrielle, like
The Prince Of Condo, sovercigns and the
common people, all ate with their fingers.
1t isl strange fact that the introduce
zion of forks for table service, at first
provoked scandal A curious pamphlet
attacking the minions of Henry III.
pcaks Indignantly in the following
strain; ''ln the first place." says tho
anonymous letter, "they never touch
neat with their fingers, but use forks,
which they raise up to the mouth while
stretching out the neck. They eat their
,alad with forks, for it is forbidden to
ouch meat with the fingers, no matter
aow difficult it may be, and they prefer
ouching their lips with this little instru.
nent than with their fingers"
Before the introduction of the fork,
there existed sort OF code Of fine man
aers for the use of persons of culture.
Among other things it is ordained that
"when something is offered at table, it
Is proper to take it with three fingers,
and also it is considered breach OF fine
manners to touch ones nose with the
hand in which the meat is heidi
At the present time, in certain coun-
tries, the fingers constitute the only
forks in use The Turks and Arabs still
adhere to this primitive custom in China
two little sticks are employed, where.
with the favorite rise is eaten. But, in
general, the fork in one shape or another
Is now used and it is often not the lack
Of this instrument, but the tempting
riand to plunge it into, which is de.
,ideratIin

The Philadelphia board of health
have issued these hints in pamphlet
form for distribution:
Thorough ventilation of dwellings
is essential to the health of the occu-
pants. Observe strict cleanliness in
your person and clothing. Battle dai-
ly, if you have the convenience; if not,
wash freely with cold water every day.
Change your undcIgarments daily, or
as frequently as your circumstances
will admit. Be moral, regular in your
habits Of life, meals, exercise and sleep.
BE careful to dress comfortably for the
season, avoid the night air as much as
possible, and when thus exposed put
on an extra garment, and do not 90
into the night air when in state of
perspiration. BE careful to avoid the
use of alcoholic drinks. Do not sup
pose that their use will prevent the
recurrence of disease. On the other
hand, those who indulge in the custom
are always fair subjects for disease,
and when attacked the Incorporate
are particularly in condition to offer
feeble resistance.
Live temporarily, live regularly
avoid all excuses in eating crude, raw
and indigestible food, especially cab
bage, salad, cucumbers and unripe
fruit. A greater safety will be secur-
ed by boiling all water used for drink
ing purposes. Partake of well-cooked
beef and mutton, rice well boiled, and
avoid pastry and laxative fruit. Take
your meals at regular seasons, neither
abstaining too long at time nor in
dulging too frequently. An over
loaded stomach is as much to be dread
ed as an empty one. Avoid bodily ia
tigue and mental exhaustion. Lead q
calm and quiet life. Let all exciting
causes be avoided. If you impress or
impair the vital forces it is prejudicial
to health, By excitement or violent
exercise you increase the susceptibility
Of the system to disease.
During the prevalence of cholera
do not neglect even the slightest di-
arrhma, no matter how painless at
first"

Pig Pen or Pig Pasture.

An exchange says: There is too
much pig pen and not enough pig
pasture" This is true in the main.
The difference in the quality and ia
vor of pork, made in the average filthy
pig pen, from filthy food, and that
made from sweet grasses and clover,
out in the open and pure air, is so
great that it would seem as though
consumers would insist on using none
but the last kind. Good, clean and
sweet pork can be made in pens. how
ever, and cheaper than in pastures
even, and has been demonstrated on
the Missouri College Farm. The pigs
in travelling about the pasture after
their food will not get nearly us much
out of the grass as they will if it is cut
and fed to them in the pen. 1t may
be said that this would cost too much
abor. But if it shown that the ex-
ira labor is more than paid for by in
creased profit, that will be all that can
be asked.
As before remarked, the pigs mako
more gain out of the same quantity of
food fed in the pen than when gath
cred in the pasture. More food can
be grown on IA given area when cut off
and fed to the animals, than when
they are allowed to feed it of them
selves. The manure Of pen fol pigs
is where it can he saved. That of the
pasture pigs is largely lost. When it
is desirable, as it almost always is,
to feed grain or other food in addition
to the grass it can be better done in
the pen than in the pasture. While
we thus advocate feeding pigs in pens,
it is only with the idea that the pens
are to be roomy, clean and healthful.
TO put pigs into small and filthy pens
is cruel, and disgrace to humanity,
and makes quality of pork (which
has created a merited prejudice against
a healthful and palatable food

IL is the first duty of woman to be
lady. Good breeding is good sense.
Bad manners in woman is immortality.
Awkwardness may be ineradicable.
Bashfulness is constitutional. Igno-
rance of etiquette is the result of cir
cumstances. All can be condoned,
and do not Danish man or Wont an
from the amenities of their kind. But
self-possession, unshrinking and ag-
gressive coarseness of demeanor may
be reckoned as State prison offense.
and certainly merits that mild form of
restraint called imprisonment for life.
1t is shame for women to be lee
tured on their manners. 1t is a bitter
shame that they need it. Women are
the umpires of society. 1t is they to
whom all mooted points should be re-
ferred. To be lady is more than to
be prince. A lady is always in her
right inalienably worthy of respect.
To lady prince and peasant alike
bow. Do not be restrained. Do not
have impulses that need restraint. DO
not wish to dance with the prince I'M
sought; feel differently. BE such that
you confer your honor. Carry your
self 50 loftily that men shall look up to
you for reward, not at you in rebukc.
The natural sentiment of man toward
woman is reverence. He loses a large
means of grace, when he is obliged to
account her being to be trained into
propriety. A mans ideal is not
wounded when woman fails in
worldly wisdom; but if in grace, in
tact, in sentiment, in delicacy, in kind
ness she should be found wanting, he
receives an inward hurt. Gail Ham,

An Indiana farmer says
Having had fourteen years experience
in sowing rye the last of August and
through September at different times,
on rich land for soiling in April, |
think am able to state correctly the
value of such a crop. Rye, when sown
the last of August or any time in Sep
TENDER on rich land, will make more
pounds of green food per acre in April
than any of the grasses or clover will
make in June. We can easily see the
value of an acre of rye sown in Au-
gust or September to be cut green in
April and fed to stock. 1t is the least
injurious green food when fed to work
stock known. In fact, not one obiec-
ton can be made to it when fell to
work stock with plenty of grain. A
rye patch near the house is more val
liable for poultry than grain. We
carried $50 hens through last winter
on green rye alone and they came
through the winter all right and in
fine condition. AS a feed for milch
COWS it has no equal. Three full feeds
daily of green rye to your milk cows
in April will change the butter from
white to beautiful golden color.

The latest bit of news for those who
like to know al about insects concerns
the lantern fly. The reputation of this
fly has been simply dreadful. In the
first place its name is against it. Think
of thing called the "gitirana boia"
Then it was said to be able to kill any
living thing by means of long, poison
GUS beak, projecting from its large head.
Monkeys struck by the fly were seen to
fall stone dead to the ground. Cattle
were killed in Brazil by the pest, and a
child at Para, stung by the lantern fly,
died a few days afterward ''in great
agony" So much for the insects repu.
tation. In the american Naturalist,
John c. Branner proves two interesting
things, to wit, that it is not luminous
and that it is harmless. Not only is its
name a misnomer, but the stories con-
corning it are eXaggerations merely.
