THE USE OF FORKS
WAS NOT COMMON Before 'sis

Queen Elizabeth Had But Three

II seems strange that the use OF
forks began only with our easily re-
membered fcrefathers. that the Greeks
and Romans did not know anything OF
them. and that in the far Eastern coun-
tries their use is still unknown. Up
20 the Fifteenth Century they were
known only In Italy Elizabeth had
three forks" "garnished with gold
slelghtly," and with "lyttle perles PEN
dant." but they were considered as GU
rlosities and never used Indeed, In
that era II was considered bad form
and ministers contended that TO use
them was TO insult God What were
our fingers for? In Thomas Coryates'
"Crudities," published originally In
1908, is this:
Il observed p custom In all those
Italian cities and towns through which
| passed that Is not used in any other
country that | saw In my travels;
neither do | think any other nation In
Chrlstendom doth use II, but only In
Italy. The Italians, and also most
strangers, do always at their meals use
little fork when they cut their meats
For while with their knife which they
do hold In one hand. they cut the
meat out OF the dish. they fasten the
fork. which they hold In the other
hand. upon the same dish: so whatsO-
ever he be that. sitting In the company
OF others at meals. should inadvisedly
touch the dish OF meats with his fin
gers, from which all the table do cut.
he will give occasion to offense TO all
the company, as having transgressed
the laws OF good manners. in so much
that for his error he shall be at the
least browbeaten. II not reprehended in
words This form OF breeding, | under
stand Is generally used in all places
OF Italy, their forks being for the most
part made OF iron. steele and some OF
silver; but these are used only by gen.
tlemen. The reason for this curiosity
Is because the Italian cannot by any
means endure to have his meat touch
I'd with fingers, seeing that ell mems
fingers are not alike clean"
Not until the middle OF the SeyenI
eentb Century did England's nobility
Begin the use Of forks, but they came
INTO use slowly. and even In the early
part of the Eighteenth Century gentle

Experiments Have Seemed to Prove
That He Can.
The Intelligence OF animals seems
as a rule to be moderated rather than
overratcd. A dog breeder described
the other day a wonderful collie that
had belonged TO Lord Ayebury, This
dog. he said. would, when II was
hungry. lay at its masters feet card
marked food When II was thirsty
II would fetch a card marked drink.
When Il wanted to take a walk II
would bring a card marked out Lotd
Avebury trained II to do this trick In
less than a month. He put the food
card over the dogs food and made II
bring the card TO him before he would
allow II to eat. and In the matter OF
drinking and going out he used like
method. The cards were similar In
shape and color; nothing but the writ.
ing on them differed. Since. therefore.
the dog distinguishes them by the
writing alone, II may truly be said
that the animal could read"
