Apostles Spoons.
New York Evening Post.

A christening gift that is much liked is an
apostles spoon, which Is OF silver with the
handle adorned with he head OF one of the
apostles and the emblem peculiar to him. The
spoons from which the modem spoons were
copied were first known in England about the
year 1900 They were then The novelty of the
day aud hard to obtain, though afterward they
became much more common. 1t Is believed
that only three sets of the genuine apostles
spoons of that early date are now In existence.
One of them may be seen in the collection of
the G0ldsmiths Company OF London. II is to
this set that the famous and rare master
SPOON" representing the Savior bearing the
world and the cross, belongs. Ii Is somewhat
curious that our silversmths, who have so
many beautiful spoons, have not originated

with the head OF the Virgin and child, or some
other appropriate decoration OF biblical or
churchly character.

A Good Woman Gone Home.

On last Monday Mrs. G. s. Newsome,
after long illness. died at the resi-
dence of her s0n-in-law and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Foster. Mrs. New
some was woman OF deep Christian
piety, having long since given her
heart to God and began to labor in the
vineyard of the Most Holy One. Her
Christian life was of the kind which
bore suffering without murmuring,
met disappointment without complaint
and made sacrifices willingly; all being
for the Masters sake.
The suffering OF her illness was borne
without complaint and when the sum
mons finally came, without fear, but
with perfect confidence in the promise
of Jesus, she stepped out on the journey
through the valley Of the shadow.
To her children and good husband
our dear friends, The PROGRESS ex
tends its warmest sympathy. All who
have known the visits of the death
angels can truly measure the deep sor-
row of those who must give up their
loved ones, in answer thereto, and all
such, is the spirit in which we express
our feelings for those who have been
bereft.
The good husband, we feel, is himsel
happy on ;the way and looks forward
to the time when he will join his dear
wife in that land.
