The Idea Of Culture.

The idea of culture has always in
cluded a quick and wide sympathy
with men; it should hereafter In
clude sympathy with nature, and par
ticularly with It's living forms-a sym
pathy based on some accurate obser-
yation of nature. The bookworm, the
monk, the isolated student, has never
been the type of the cultivated man.
Society has seemed the natural set
ting sfor the cultivated person, man
or woman; but the present concep-
tioa Of real culture contains not only
aElarge development Of this social ele'
meat, but also an animate creation
and to those immense forcess that
set the earthly, stage for man and
all related beings.-President c. W:
Eliot, in the Worlds Work.

United states Horses.

The United States is the greatest
producing country in the Worid.
Att this time; therefore. when other
agencies are coming into competition
with horses for many purposes, and
are being substituted for horses In
many, others, it Is proper for US o
consider what IT Is wise to do In order
that there shall not be too serious Joss
es in! an industry as great as 1t is
widespread and interesting. "A few
years ago the horses in the United
States were valued at eleven hundred
million dollars. Business depression
together with the competition and sub
stitutions referred to, deprecated this
stock more than nehalf, Bit there
has been an appreciation withia a, few
years, owing to.asusiness revival ana
ensuing prosperity, So that the value
Of the horses in the country had risen
more than two hundred million dollars
at the. end of the last fiscal year, June,
1902, from what the value was at the
low-water mark referred to.From

In the days when brown.stone

life in New York was a simpler mat
ter than it is today, there hved in one
Of the orthodox mansions a certain
highly respectable maiden lady and
two nephews, cousins, to whom she
was guardian. - = 3.
A cIassmate and chum OF the elder
boy had become the happy possessor
Of a rooster, which the seller assured
him, had "big galny s,,cak in him."
Inflamed by this eulogy, both boys
were wild for match" and not
having the means wherewith to pur-
chase an antagonist they put their
heads together to compass the bor-
rowing OF one, and with the follow
ing results: ....-
The younger cousin, an unusually
polite and gentle little boy, was de-
spatched on the first holiday to the
grocery where the family dealt, osten-
sibly to order chicken for dinner.
"But," he said, pointing 70 a coop
Of live fowls, my aunt wants to see
it before you kill it,"
The grocer assented, and forthwith
drew from the coop what he consid.
cred a desirable bird. But the boy
would have none of It. He had set
his heart on rainbow.colored rooster
with enormous comb and tail.
= "Why," said the grocer, that is the
very toughest old customer, in the
bunch
MY aunt lkes them tough" said
the gentle little boy.
In a couple Of hours the rooster
was borne back to the store eye
shut, his comb torn and bloody, and
but one feather Of his beautiful tail
left But he was Growing so trium-
phaDtly that a small crowd followed
him. He had suffered, but the bird
with the "big gamy streak in him
was nowhere" 49,. IA
"My aunt is much obliged to you"

to the astonished grocer. "she can't

EARLIEST USE OF FORKS.
They Were Not Common in England BE.
~ fore the Year 1915 zes

fore the L ear A01Os
It seems strange that the use Of forks
begansonly with our easily rememberea
-forefathers; that the Greeks tand Ro'
mans did not know anything of them,
and that in the Far Eastern countries
their use is still unknown. Up<to the
fifteenth century they were known
only in Italy. Elizabeth had three
forks "garnished with gold sieight.
ly,.. and with "lyttle perles pendant"
but they were considered as curiosities
and never used. Indeed, in that era,
says the Cooking Club, it was consid'
cred bad form, and ministers contend
CO that to use them was an insult to
God. What were our fingers for? In
Thomas Coryates' "Crudities," puD'
.iished originally in 16oS, is this:
II observed a custom in all those
Italian cities aud towns through which
I passed that is not used in any other
country that I saw Oh my travels;
neither do think that any other ma
ton in Christendom doth use it, but
only in Italy. The Italian, and also
most strangers, do always. at their
meals5use a little forke when they cut
their meats. For while with their
knife, which they hold in one hand,
they cut the meats out Of the dish,
they fasten the forke. which they hold
in the other hand, upon the same dish;
so Whatsoever he be that, sitting In
the company Of others at meals, should
inadvisedly touch the dish Of meats
with bis fingers, from which all the
table do cut, he will give occasion OF
offense to all the company, as having
transgressed the laws Of good manners;
in so much that for his error he shall
be at least browbeaten, If not repre-
hended in wordes. This form Of feed
ing, understand, is generally used in
all places of Italy, their forkes being
in the most part Of iron, steele and
some Of silver; but these are used only
by gentlemen. The reason for this
curiosity is because the italian cannot
by any means endure to have his meat
touched with fingers, seeing that all
mems fingers are not elike eleane." &.
Not until the middle sof the seven
teenth century did England's nobility
begin the use of the fork. but they
came into use slowly, and even in the
early part of the eighteenth century
gentlemen who travelled carried knife
and fork, because the inns were not
likely to have them. About 1915 forks
became quite common in England, and
in Europe soon became to be consid'
cred generally as necessity.
