ORIGIN OF TABLE UTENSILS.
Even During the Middle Ages People
Ate with Their Fingers.


The use of the fork dates back only
to the seventeenth century, The old
Greeks, although their civilization was
very much advanced. ate with their fin
gers, as gracefully as possible, Plu-
tarch mentions the rules to be followed
when eating with the fingers, and this
Is one OF the most interesting passages
IN his description OF antique customs
In the middle ages people still ate with
their fingers. II Is true enough that
ablutlons took place before and after a
meal, but still that custom was any
thing but clean. Each OF the guest at
a dinner was first offered basin and
n pitcher OF water, and It was bad form
10 help ones self to any of the viands
before having carefully washed hands
and face,
Goldsmlths finally invented forks, but
at first they were objects OF luxury and
were used only at times when they
might just as we'll have been done
without. The first mention OF forks Is
made in document dated 1900, which
says that Pierre Galveston, the favorite
OF Edward H., possessed three FUR
chestes" (forkO for eating pears,
cheese and sandwiches. 1t was more
than three hundred years later before
forks were used for fish and meat,
About the second decade of the sew
enteenth century picture of the Royal
Prince OF France shows that he carried
case containing q knife, spoon and
what looked very nlIch like fork.
Glasses and drinking cups were first
made OF wood or tin. In the fifteenth
century Venice manufactured the Won
derful glassware, which replaced or
the table OF the "seEneurs" the heavy
caken or metal cups formerly used.
Egg cups were not known previous
to the fifleenth century, and even in
the sixteenth century they were rather
scarce and had no distinct name. They
were described as an article in which
to place and hold an egg" or "a silver
thing to place an egg in"
Salt cellars also date from the If
tenth century. Goldsmiths eIcelled in
making artistic salt cellars and the one
modelled for King Francis /. OF France
by Benyenuto Celllni was a wonderful
work OF art. People in general did not
know the use OF salt cellars, and even
among wealthy families II was the Gus
tom to break a piece of bread and to
place the salt for each individual upon
the bread.

No trouble Is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia,
People having II think that their nerves
are to blame, and are surprised that

Nervous dVspeptics often DO not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any OF the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as In nearly every other organ; In slime
cases the heart palpltates and is irregu-

in others the bowels IRE const.pated
with headaches; stu others are troub-

accumulation OF gas, sour risings and

Insects in Stored Grain.

Many different substances have
been recommended at various times
for the destruction of insects injuri-
GUS to stored grain. Some of these
are of value in a greater or less de-
gree. Others are quite worthless. Ger
tain preventive measures that are in
practice in the south seem to be OF
some value. Most farmers in Florida
do not husk their corn when harvest.
ed aus the hlsks offer considerable
protection against lepidOpterous in
sects, and weevils. 1t is also a com
mon practice to gather the corn and
leave it i'm heaps in the field for a few
days to allow the ANTS to destroy the
larvae that infest it. Others leave an
open space in the roof of the crib sc
that rain may enter and thoroughly
wet the corn, bringing about peri
Cd of heat that is said ito destroy the
infesting weevils and larvae, doing nc
harm ITO the corn. 1t is a rather prev.
alent idea THAT certain varieties Oh
grain are weevil proof, and inquiry is
sxll!lt:mes made for definite informal
ton on this subject. 1T should be
known that there is no variety Oh
grain that is weevil proof. However
the condition i'm which the grain is
kept is of some Importance. In gen
eral, unhusked grain is much free1
from ATTACK than grain that has been
husked. Corn is much more subject
to attack when shelled than when
left on the cob. Those varieties OF
corn that have hard, finty kernels
and close fitting husks are not SO sub
ject to attack as other varieties. But
it is hardly profitable to discuss these
various preventive measures as we
have in carbon bi-sulphide, a remedy
THAT is effective, cheap, and simple in
it's application. Carbon bi-sulphide
was first recommended for use
against insects, ON a large scale, by
DR.. Riley in 1879. Its use is yearly be-
coming much more general Carbon
bi-sulphide is a chemical compound
of the formula So; aus the name and
symbol indicate, 1T lis bi-sulphide OF
carbon. lit is a colorless liquid, hav-
ing a very strong, disagreeable odor
and lis quite VOLATILE, vaporizing ait an
ordinary temperature. It lis also high
ly infamIable, and hence in it's use
care should always be taken that no
fire of any kind be brought near it. A
lighted match, lighted pipe Or lighted
cigar should not, under any circum-
stances, be brought near a building
that is being fumigated. The fumes
of this compound are very poisonous
Therein lies it's value ais a destructive
agent against insects. The deadly
fumes of this compound enter their
breathing tubes with the air which
they breathe and quickly bring
about their death. The fumes are also
poisonous to other animals, but there

Directions for Use.
The application of carbon bi-sul-
phide is but "a process of Immigration,
and in order that the fumes may be
kept Within the lbin Or crib they
should be as tight as possible. If they
are NOT tight much more of the COM
pound will be required. Bins may be
made much tighter by covering them
as much as possible with cloths and
blankets. Oil cloth and heavy can
vas are excellent. Inn moderately
'tigIht bin ONE pound of the sulphide
should effectually fumigate ONE hun
dred bushels of grain. Several meth
ODDS are in use for the application of
tine sulphide. A ball of cotton tiled to
"a stick MAY be saturated with the
compound and pushed down ITO near
the center of the grain By doing
this, it is believed that the air be-
comes more evenly saturated with the
sulphide. Another method consists
in pushing long pipe, in which is
Tight fitting rod, down into the
grain. The rod is Withdrawn and the
carbon bi-sulphide poured into the
tube, and after which, it may be with
drawn. BUT the most effective way
of applying the compound, when the
bins are moderately tight, is to pour
the reagent in shallow dishes or pans
which may be placed here and there
ON the top of the grain. The conn
pound being VOLATILE rapidly vapOr-
ICES, and being heavier than air, sinks
and becomes thoroughly diffused
throughout the bin. Balls OF cotton
or waste may be saturated with the
sulphide and distributed over the sur
face of the grain. In case all THE in
sects are not destroyed by one appli-
cation, another should be made.
Grain treated with the sulplide is mot
injured for food purposes, or for seed.
To secure the very best results from
the use of carbon bi-sulphide a tligiht
q quarantine bin should be made, some
what separated from the other BUILD
ings, where the grain may be SUBJ
ieoted to thorough Immigration be
fore being stored. Here the insects
that have gotten into the grain while
in the field will all be destroyed, thus
removing a serious source of infec-
tion to the stored grain. Before a
crib lis to receive the harvested and
fumi gated grain, it should be thor
oughly fumigAted and cleaned. All
cracks, loose fittings, and holes
should be stopped up as we'll as possi-
bile.
Grain having been fumigated and
placed in a Tight crib or bin THAT has
been cleaned will suffer but very hit
tie from the ravages of insects dur
ing THE year. Should they become
troublesome at amy time another lp-
plicartion of the sulphide should be
made.
Peas, rice, shelled-corn and other
seeds are frequently stored in barrels
or boxes. These may be easily fumi-
gated by saturating a piece of COTTON
