The FORK ~ 300 Years OId.

BY the way, it is just 900 years ago
since the fork made its appearance in
Europe. In 93j A. d. a son of Dodge,
Pietro Orsolo, had welded in Venice the
Byzantine Princess Anglia, who produced
a. the wedding breakfast a silver fork
and gold spoon. Then the high vene-
tian families followed suit, and these
martyrs to fashion pricked their lips with
the new instrument. The fork prospered
however, and spread over Italy. In 1879
it had Travelled a. far as France, and in
1908 a traveller brought it direct to Eng
land. london Figaro.

Life should Ise Longer.

1t was the naturalist Button who as
serted that human beings should live to
l40 years, instead OF merely ~. Button
argued that all creatures of the animal
kind live six or seven times as long as it
requires them to obtain full development.
Thus, the horse is full grown at 3 years,
and lives to Is and %. The OK is fully
developed at 4 years, and the dog at 2.
The former lives to "a and %, and the
latter to II aud IA. There is no doubt
that in these respects Button Was right,
and, il his theory was borne out in the
case of human kind. the period OF life
should be at least 40 TO 40. instead
OF 70.

IF YOU ARE,
DO NOT FORGET
THREE IMPORTANT POINTS

FIRST-Go via St. Paul be-
cause the lines to that point will
afford you the very best service.
SECOND-See that the cou-
pom beyond St. Paul reads via
the Wisconsin Central because
that line makes close connections
with all the trans-continental
lines entering the Union Depot
there and its service is frst-class
in every particular.
THIRD-For information call
on your neighbor and friend

ask for ticket reading via the

A General Expression Of sympathy Called
Out by His Death.
Seldom has there been such general e1-
preston Of sympathy over the loss OF one
whose life has been devoted to business
pursuits, as has been called forth by the
recent death at Cottage City, Mass, Of that
venerable landmark Of the business world,
the late John P. Lowell, founder and Presi-
dent Of the John P. Lowell Arms Company
OF Boston. Almost numberless messages
and letters, Of coincidence, on the death OF
his honored father, have been received by
Colonel Benjamin 8. Lowell, Treasurer of
the Lowell Arms Company. The wide scope
covered by these communications is In it.
self evidence. of the great regard in which
he was held by the leaders In business and
public life. These expressions Of sympathy
have not been confined to New England,
but they have come from every prominent
business centre Of the North, East, West
AMI South-in fact, from every portion OF
tho Union; because the name Of John P.
Lowell, and the corporation created by him,
have been for more than half century the
synonym of honest dealing and business
integrity Even from England, from firms
with whom Mr.. Lowell had enjoyed the
pleasantest br siness relations for morei
than fifty years, Colonel Lowell has received
messages Of sympathy.
