HISTORY OF SPOONS.
The Most Remarkable One Preserved

The Most Remarkable One Preserved In
the Tower of London.
II you desire to know about the scare
ity of really reliable data on the his
tory of spoons take down your hand
books and encyclopedias and see II it
doesn't take you long while to learn
anything concerning their origin, ma
tivity," etc., says the Boston Trans
script. In fact, the antiquarians do
not pretend to give US anything Of val
ue in that line. 1t Is admitted that
they are very ancient" but just ex-
actly how old they are and by whom
they were first used are points upon
which we are left completely in the
dark, Creighton says: spoons must
have been a very ancient invention,
for Saxon spoon of perforated silver
gilt, ornamented with gems, was
found in grave at Sarre, Tanet."
When forks were unknown spoons
played a very important part at the
table. Spoons of the thirteenth CEN
fury, and even later, had handles ter
minating In knob, knot, acorn or
other odd and cumbersome device.
About the period Of the restoration, Of
which so much is said in English his
tory, a great change was made In the,
forms of spoons In some Of the unique
patterns the spoon" part was divided
into two, three and even four parts, and
the handle always split or twisted and
turned up, instead of down and back.
Spoons of that period were all blunt,
instead of being pointed, as in The
forms generally seen at present. They
continued short and blunt down to the
time of George l.. when they were first
made pointed and had the handles
turned down instead of up. About the
year 1900 what were known as "apos-
tie" spoons were introduced. They
were SO called because they had the fig
ures of the twelve apostles carved upon
their handles. They were generally
given by sponsors to children at their
time of baptism. The wealthy pre-
scented the entire twelve, those who
could not afford to indulge in such ex-
travagance giving one or more, accord
ing as they felt able. The most curious
and remarkable spoon in the world,
perhaps, is coronation spoon" pre-
served among the other royal relics in
the tower of London. The bowl is gold
and the handle silver. The handle is
split down the middle and set with all
kinds of precious stones. The relic is
valued at about f20, 900, or upward of

Interesting Discoveries At Aths

The excavations carried out by the
Cook Archaeological Society on the
northwest slope of the Acropolis have
led to some interesting discoveries, ac-
cOrding to correspondent Of the Lon
don Times. Near the Klepsydra or
we'll mentioned by Pausanias and at
some little height above it, are two
cayerns which have been generally
identified by psychologists as the grotto
of Apollo and the grotto of Pan. In
the former are many traces of inches
made for the reception of votive offer
ings. 1t was customary for the archons
At the expiration of their year of Office
to inscribe their names here, either on
the rock or on marble tablets. No
similar traces, however, are found in
the other cavern. The excavations now
conducted under the superintendent
of M. Kavvadias have revealed two
other larger and deeper caverns in the
adjacent rock which are connected by
an aperture. This was undoubtedly
the shrine of Pan in which Myrr6Ina
(Aristophanes, Lysistrata, 911) pro-
posed to Kinesias that their marriage
rites should be celebrated. The whole
precinct was in all probability original
ly sacred to Apollo, but when the wor-
ship of the Arcadian shepherd-god was
introduced at Athens soon after the
battle of Marathon the deep recess in
the rock, which resembles his shrines
elsewhere, was chosen as a suitable
sanctuary. A little to the northeast of
the grotto has been discovered flight
of steps cut in the rock and apparently
leading to the summit of the precipics.
The steps can be traced to the base of
a buttress of medieval masonry which
supports the wall of Cimon. The upper
portion of the staircase, which lies
within the wall, was discovered by M.
Kavvadias in 1886. 1t now appears GER
tain that these are the steps by which
the Persians scaled the Acropolis, and
it also seems probable that this was
the passage by which the Arrhephoroe,
or sacred virgins, made their annual
descent to the precincts of Aphrodite,
bearing on their heads the sacred YES
sells of Athens.
