The earliest spoons were made of
horn. Specimens of ivory and bone
have been found in the abodes of the
cave dwellers and lake dwellers all over
Europe. Spoons of gold and silver are
mentioned as having been used at
Nero's table. In Saxon times every
guest brought his own knife and spoon,
the host providing a towel or cloth for
wiping each at the close of the repast

Ganinr an Irish salmon.

Mickle, gaff in hand, was hopping
around behind me, more like wild In
dian with tomahawk than an expert
enced Irish water bailiff about to I'M
pale salmon. Sport, too, joined III the
infectious excitement and jumped at
my feet and barked at every splash that
the big fish made. Down along the riv-
er bank the cute old bailiff glided and
crept out behind projecting rock.
Once l almost coaxed him within strlk-
ing distance of the one eyed gaffer, but
Mickle prided himself Oh his skill and
feared to run the risk of missing his
stroke. Off again dashed the fish across
the pool, as if warned by instinct OF the
unseen danger, and it was fully ten
minutes ere had him played back to
the proper point. -.
Then, like lightning flash, the cold
steel impaled him, and the great, qulv-
ering body was triumphantly lifted Oh
the gaff by the exultant bailiff, show
ing q fish as beautiful as was ever land
ed. The sheen of his scales and the
small sea lice still olinging to him
showed that he had only just come VI
from the salt water. 1t had taken me
exactly as minutes from the moment
he was hooked till he lay Oh the bank
and he weighed % pounds by my peck

Gepphis Khan's Dominions.

Mrs Mary Shears Roberts, in her Sc
ries of Historic Dwarfs" in st. Mich
olas, writes of Casan, who was III the
service Of Genghis Khan. Mrs. Roberts
says:
After the great Mongolian had con-
ouered China, Persia and all central
Asia his empire became one OF the most
formidable ever established. 1t extend
ed from the Pacific ocean on the east to
the river Dnieper in European Russia
and was wider realm than Egyptian,
Greek or Roman conqueror ever knew.
The kings of Armenia and Georgia, the
emirs of Persia, the grand dukes OF Rus
STA and numerous other potentates were
compelled to pay tribute to Genghls
Khan, and they were all obliged TO
make the long journey to Karakorum in
person or by their representatives.
This town, the capital OF the largest
empire that ever existed, was little
more than city of tents. 1t afterward
hecame the residence of the famous
Kublai Khan, as Marco Polo tells u.s.
Init every vestige of it has disappeared.
Genghis Khan at last retired from
active service to lead quiet life in the
endowment of the wealth he had &C,
ouired at the expense of SO much tot.
and blood. The numerous khans ane
generals were commanded to return
and they came back incumbered witt
the spoiis of war. They all assembled
on a vast plain some 30 miles in extent
and, according to one historian ever
this great field could scarcely contain
ali the tents of the countless hosts I'm
emperor's quarters alone were six mile
around. An enormous white tent capa
bile of containing 1000 people wa
spread over his throne, on which wa
carefully placed the bit OF black oarpe
used at his coronation.

Famous Rattle Steeds.

The most celebrated battle steeds OF the
civil war were Cincinnati, Traveller ana
Winchester, the favorite chargers OF Grant,
Lee and Sheridan. When the hero OF Vlcks-
burg visited Cincinnati few months after
the close of that brilliant campaign, ne
was requested to visit dying man, who
was exceedingly DESTROYS of seeing him.
When they met, the invalid said: ten
eral Grant, wish to give you q noble
horse, who has no superior on the conti-
nent, as a testimony of my admiration for
YOUR character and past services TO our
country. There is a condition attached TO
the gift-that you will always treat him
kindly" Grant accepted the magnificent
bay. of course, faithfully keeping his prom
ise. and named him Cincinnati. He was a
son of Lexington, with single exception
the fastest four mile thoroughbred that
ever ran on an American course. The gen
eral was offered $4,000 for the horse, as
he had record of speed almost equal TO
that of his famous half brother Kentucky.
Cincinnati was n superb and spirited steed
of great endurance, Grant riding him al
most constantly during the wilderness
campaign, and passing from end to emo 0.

THE WIFE OF NANGEN.
Romantic Manner In Which the Arctic
Explorer First Met Her.

OF DR.. Nansen's wife not much infor-
nation has found its way into print. Sho
seems to have very imrerfectly developed
taste for publicity, but what is known OF
her is interesting and indicates that she Is
an uncommon woman both in talent ana
character. 1t is recorded by DR. Nansen S
biographers Broggcr and Rolfsen, that
his first meeting with his future wife was
in the woods about Frogncr Seator where
one day, observing the solcs of two feet
sticking up out of the snow, he approached
them, with natural curiosity, in timc 10
see the head of Eva Sars emerge from I,
snow bank. DR.. Nansen was married in
1889 after his return from his successful
expedition across Greenland. When nc
started i'm the Fran in 1893 his wife, left

King Oscar of Sweden Is one of her ad
! mirers, and especially likes her singing
| which he has often heard, and since sh'
has been in England the compliment has
been paid her of asking her to sing before

adventurous husband, whose departure Oh
his perilous GRAND cost her anXieties ant
misgivings about which she said little a
the time. Since her husbands return sh
has sometimes spoken in conversation
her fears, and has said that careful com
parison of DIR. Nansen's diary with he
record or remembrance of her own sensa
tons bears her out in the belief that th
times when she was the most concerne
about him were the seasons of his great

munication born of intense sympathy an

HARD ON OUR DOGS.
Very Few of Them WIN BE Allowed to
Land In England.

The White Star line steamer Majestic,
from Liverpool, brings to New York
copies of an order issued by the British
board of agriculture in consequence OF
the hydrophobia scare, arising i'll part
from the practice of bringing dogs to
Great Britain from American ports.
The order will be posted throughout the
United States It's enforcement is likely
to cause trouble, as it is the most strin-
gent precautionary measure OF the kind
ever adopted here.
It provides that no dog shall be al
lowed to enter Great Britain after Sep
tember without special license issued
by the board of agriculture, which can
be obtained only after going through
many formalities. Details for the iden-
LITIGATION of the dog must be given, as
we'll as the address of the owner, where
the animal is going to land, the route
by which it is to travel, etc. In case OF
violation of any of the provisions OF the
order the dog will be liable to SIX
months quarantine at the expense OF Its
| owner.

New bleaching Process.

A new process of bleaching has been
brought forward by means OF which
there is produced clear white in cotton
without any deterioration in fiber. In q
starching machine the material to be
bleached is treated with I've to which
bisulphide of soda and an alkaline chic
ride have been added and the goods sub
jected to heavy pressure. They are then
transferred to steaming apparatus, IN
which they remain 30 to 60 minutes.
The other operations Of bleaching are OF
the ordinary kind. The addition OF al
kaline chloride to the I've dissolves the
gummy matter and capsules in the fiber.
