SHE GETS THE PENSION AT LAST.
The Chronology of Forks. TFrop, tba Jswelars, Weaklv1

In only one early mediaval record Is there any mention of the use of Q fork after the fashion of modern times. The heroine of this record is 8 Byzantine woman, who mar ried Doge of Venice many centuries ago. In Venice this Byzantine young woman con- tinued to eat as she ate at home. She out her meat in very small bits on her plate and carried each bit to her mouth with a two tined fork. The people of Venice regarded this unusual manner of eating as symptom of morbid luxury.
 In all probability, as this incident indi- cates, the modern use of the fork originated at the cultivated Byzantine court and spread gradually to the West. The western people ment of new tangled eastern table manner. Many centuries were required for its general introduction and adoption. The famous Byzantine who ate with her fork in Venice lived in the eleventh century. Not till the seventeenth century did the great folk of Europe begin to follow her example.
 In 1853 the use of forks, according to modern ideas, was generally known but not generally adopted. Heylin, an English wri> ter, mentioned 1t then as tho custom among dandies. In French book printed as late as 1873 are these words: "When person helps himself from the platter he should most distinguished persons have taken theirs. person should take all he wants at one time and not keep sticking his fingers into the dish to pull out piece after piece" Ear Her in the century Princess of Condo was still eating with her fingers. Louis XIII. ate with fork, but his wife, Anna of Aus tria. who was educated at the Spanish court, ate with her fingers, although she was very proud of her beautiful hands.

 Some men can be awfully mean If they are boarded south-bound Indiana avenue car at Madison street. The conductor went for- ward to collect the fares. The gentleman felt in his pockets and then looked blank. He had changed his vest at the office and had not cent. Glancing around the car he saw friend in the opposite seat, and, touch, ing him on the shoulder, he said: "Ed, old man, Pve changed my vest and haven't a cent--youll have to pay my fare this trip" The friend said he guessed he could trust him for nickel, and the unfortunate gen tleman appeared greatly relieved. When the conductor came along for his fare he said |: "That gentleman over there will pay for me-" indicating the friend to whom he had appealed. "Do you pay this gentleman's farei" asked the conductor. "What gentle- mans fsre9" asked the other man, looking tleman's," said the conductor, indicating the first party, and that party nodded his head. 'I never saw him before in my life," said the second man. ooh, come on, Ed; pay my fare," demonstrated the first party. His friend shook his head and pro. tested that he did not know him. "Why, the man must be crazy," he said. "Youll have to pay your fare or get of, ," said the conductor, who was growing impatient. "Oh, Ed; like joke, but this is going too far. Pay up now," said the first man. head and resumed the perusal of his evening paper. Then the first man got mad. "All right" he said, "Ill get off" and he started to do so, but when he reached the platform his friend called the conductor and paid him. It was . mean trick though.

A LIFE SAVED.

Captain Fanchor's Bravo Act-The
 Fire Yesterday-The KelRum Com-
 pany Damaged About $2,SOO-The
 other Losses.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon fire was discovered in the second story of the three story brick building, corner of Court and Artizan streets. The occupants of the building are: Chadesyne & Son, plumbers; E. A. Burgess, maohinist; H. s. Chandler, painter; the Acme Cash Railway company, and the Kelgum Rubber company, and Q colored family by the name of Fisher.
 Mrs. Fisher is cook and works out. She has . little three year old son, whom she usually leaves in the care of a neighbor when she goes of to work. Yesterday morning, however, the neighbor could not care for the child, and 70 he was left .n the rooms alone. He was in ped when the fire hroxe out. The hremen of No. 2's company heard that the child wis in the building, and Csptain Fanchsr of the truck company had a ladder up to one of the windows and was up the ladder and into the building in very short time. The rooms were filled with smoke, and the brave fireman, as he was un. able to see, was guided to the place where the cnllo was py nib crloo. ho Whs uoWu the ladder with the child in . moment, and when he reached the ground with the child in his arms, he was greeted with hearty cheer from the crowd of spectators. Faneh- her k an employe of the L. Candse rubber mandatory.
 The fire was at first attributed to the sup- posed boiling over of kettle of composition in the rooms of the Rubber company, which set fire to some woodwork close by. The loss is about @, 800; insured for $2,000 with 0. w. Wilson & Go. Joseph T. Whittlesey is the owner of the building, which was dam- aged about $500. He carried an insurance of $2, ,000 on the premises, $1 ,000 in the Pacific of New York and $1, 900. in the Citizens of Pittsburg. E. A. Burgess premises were die reotly under tho Kelgum Co.'s shop, and his patterns were damaged about $200, by water chiefly. The Acme Cash Railway O., and Chandler, the painter. suffered but small loss. Mr. Henry Kellogg, the inventor, in- vsstigated the cause of the fire and pro- nounced 1t due to wood partition back of the stove catching fire. He says the Kel- gum did not explode and that the fire should not be attributed to 1t. The fire was quickly extinguished by the prompt work of the fremen.

Spiritual Training, Like Charity, Should Begin at she Hearthstone Parental Inhuenee-DutIes of Parents to Their Children.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Very little escaped the attention of St. Paul. The Jews lived in and for their chil- dren. In this way the cultivated hope and imagination, so prominent in childhood. No class of people were more domestic. The children born to the Jews were frequently re- minded of the childhood of Joseph, Samuel and David. Such characters as these were brought to the front and impressed on the mind by precept and promise.
 "When your children shall ask thee, shall you teach them, saith the Lord"
 We think 1t must be admitted that In the Jewish mind, discipline has the predomi- nsnt idea. The rod was not to be spared as we learn in Proverbs. It certainly imparts @ was this that led St. Paul to say "Fathsrs provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The meaning and significance of the text was exemplifed by Christ wheu he took children in his arms and. blessed them. St. Paul would supplant severity by kindness. Judaism was good, but Christian ity Is better.
 In this age of intense competition and busi- ness strife, home life is too little regarded. It is, however, in the home that the child's character Is moulded and the habits formed. It is the duty of the parents to teach the chil- dren religion and not to depend on the schools for both religion and education. Our Sunday schools and Christian Endeavor societies are only helps and secondary in importance to home influence. A mothers love and fathers counsel generally surpass in their power and influence all succeeding education and train- ing. Nothing Is gained by taking children into a range of thought they cannot compre- hend. or requiring children to profess what they do not feel. A true mother never does this. The spirit of the home life will usually determine and control the future of the child. It requires character to make character.
 My mothers voice, I hear it yet
 In tones my heart does thrill;
 Though she is with the silent dead,
 Methinks hear her still"

An apple tree on the premises owned by John Bransfeld has attracted considerable attention during the past few days. The fact that it has come in for more than it's ordinary share of attention is from the fact there is single blossom on the tree. On one side is the blossom as fresh as the first breath of spring, and on the other ripe fruit A further peouliarity of this tree is the fact that since 1t was large enough to bear fruit it has blossomed regularly three times year. -Middletown Penny Press.
