HISTORY OF THE FORK.
How 1t Was Originally Used-The Noble
Byzantine's Wife.


1t seems clear enough, in the light OF
negative evidence, that the few forks in
cluded in the silverware of the Middle
Ages were not used as forks are used to-
day. Since kitchen forks served as splits
and for holding roasts, it is probable that
the high-born lords and ladies of those
times, who appear to have possessed these
instruments, used their silver forks for
toasting their bread at the breakfast room
fire. There is some direct evidence that
they were employed to hold substances
particularly disagreeable or inconvenient
to handle, as toasted cheese, which would
leave an unpleasant smell, or sticky su-
CARED dainties or soft fruits, the juice of
which would stain the fingers. Only one
incident is related to the use of the fork in
the nineteenth century fashion. This is
by noble lady of Byzantium who had
married Doge of Venice, and continued
in that city to eat after her own custom,
cutting her meat very finely up and con-
veying it to her mouth with two-pronged
fork. The act was regarded in Venice,
according to Petrius Damianus, as a sign
Of excessive luxury and extreme effemi-
macy. 1t suggests probability that the
fashion of eating with forks originated at
the imperial court of Byzantium and
thence extended to the West Some hun
dreds of years had still to pass before it
could be domiciliated in Europe, for this
Doge's Byzantine wife lived in the eleventh
century, while the fashion of eating with
forks did not become general till the sew
enteenth century.

Accidents or Birth

The fact has lately been mentioned that but for an accident in each ease, the poets Leigh Hunt and Campbell would have been Americans and sung the glory of the new Republic instead of that of England. It may not be known that John Milton when the Restoration of King Charles imperrilled his liberty and life, made ar engagements for emigrating to this coun- try, in which caso Paradise Lost would have been the first fruits of Yankee muse, and been issued probably from Boston presses, says the Youths Com panion. Milton was deterred from his contemplated removal by the earnest pro teStation of his friends
 Mme. Campan, in one of her private letters to her son, says that the Empress Josephine, after her divorce, greatly de- sired to take up her residence in tho United States, and requested Napoleon to permit her to go. He refused, saying that he would not allow her to undergo ] the dangers of the voyage. Mme. Cam
 pan reports Josephine as replying, pas sionatcly:
 "Ah, there is ono obstacle, then, which you respect-the sea? Would that it could shut you out from the accomplish
 ment of your wishes now, that in your disappointment you might become the great man which God meant you to be ? The French writer assures us that there Is little doubt that if Josephine had come
 to the United States, the Emperor, on the
 day of his humiliation and defeat, would have followed her across the Atlantic, in- stead of appealing to the protection of
 the English crown.
 What effect such leavcn as that of two
 mon like Milton and Bonaparte would
 have had upon the destinies of the imma-
 ture nation and state, we leave for the
 readers of history to imagine for them selves.
 So great is the warning chaos of races, crcedS and characters in this country,
 that the influence of a single man how
 ever great or ambitious can have but d
 limited scope and is soon lost, like a wave in the cOunter-currents of the sea.
