FORKS ARE OF RECENT DATE.

Public Ledger: Knives and forks are
IA luxury of comparatively recent date.
Some 800 years ago each man had his
own knife, and at dinner seized the
joint and cut from it such portion as
he wished, and passed it on TO hi,
neighbor, who did the same. The knife
then cut the meat into smaller bits,
which were put into the mouth with
the ~unoccupied hand.
None Of the sovereigns of England
had forks till the reign of Henry VII.
All, high and low, used their fingers.
Hence In the royal households there
was a dignitary called the ever, who,
with a set Of subcrdinates, attended at
the meals with basins, water and
towels, The survival of every was evil
dent after forks had come into fashion.
When James /. entered the Spanish
ambassador at a dinner their majes-
ties washed their hands with water
from the same ever, the towels being
presented to the king by the lord treas
urer and TO the queen by the lord high
admiral" The Prince OF Wales had q
ever TO himself, which was afterward
used by the ambassador.
The first royal parsonage In England
who was known TO have a fork was
Queen Elizabeth, but 1t is doubtful
whether she ever used 1t. Forks came
so slowly into use that they were en-
ployed only by the higher classes at the
middle OF the seventeenth century.
About the criod Of the revolution, 1858,
few English noblemen had more than
q dozen forks of silver, along with a
few of iron and steel. At length the
steel fork came in for general use and
vas manufactured In Sheffield. At first
they had two prongs. but afterward
another prong was added.

Besutifyina London.


Philadelphia Public Ledger: The work
of beautifying London goes on slowly, but
at least a beginning Is shortly to be
made with the establishment Of garden
cities in the suburbs The announcement
Is made that the Garden City Pioneer
company has acquired 1900 acres of land
near Hitchin. about thirty-four miles
from the metropolis, on which the first
garden city will be built. The site is GER
tainly well situated for establishing a
residential and manufacturing town.
Three different lines of railway tap the
district, which contains an ample supply
of building material and plenty of labor.
Two Important considerations for resi-
Dental purposes are gravel soil and ample
water supply. The land is from $50 10
800 feet above sea level, and most of the
site has q southern aspect. A company
with a large capital Is to be formed 10
carry out the scheme. and as the dividend
to shareholders is TO be limited to 5 per
cent. II the garden city Is a success, it
Is thought there ought to be a consider
able sum yearly to go to the benefit OF
the town and its inhabitants.

Guilty in all building schemes IN close prox-
unity to London is the cost OF the land.

so that rents will probably be moderate.

Boston Herald: 1t may interest
women to know that the first jewelry
store was started in the city OF Chang
on about 5000 years ago. The celes-
tial Vanderbilts and Astors of that
period knew nothing OF the fascination
Of diamonds, because diamonds We're
not In vogue at that b.. c. period.
Pearls and jade and coral and other
unpublished mineral substances had to
content them, and as If TO make good
the glitter Of Tivieres and tiaras, the
princess of Chang on employed ar
tisans to fashion them the most Won

which I'm themselves were far more
costly than diamonds.

Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
Of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those Interested in medical;
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith

Last September my little boy had
dropsy: his feet and limbs were swol-,
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes o n The
treatment that the doctors were giving.

two or three people said his days We're
short. even the doctors, two of the best
in the country, told me he would not
get better. | stopped their medicine
and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney
Pills. l gave him three Pills a day,
one morning, oon and night, for eight
days: at the end OF the eighth day the
swelling was all gone but to give the
medicine justice, l gave him eleven
more Pills. | used t~hirty-five Pills in
all and he was entirely cured. l con-
slider your medicine saved my child's

Health Conditions in the Canal IONS

HeaIth SonditfonS IN the lanai IONS
Colonel w. G.. Gorgas, u. S. A., in
Harper's Weekly: / think it Is fair to
make this summary: that, taking
March as an average boil in numbers
of men and in mortality, we rave lost
by death during the first year of our
work 14.66 per thousand of our men
(Which, for 5000 men, would mean 1872
deaths); and we have sickness to the
extent OF 401 per thousand, which, for
the whole force, would give 1906 sick.
Taking the French mortality for their
first year, as showing what would have
occurred with nc sanitary precautions,
we would have had, instead Of 1872
deaths, $40 deaths; instead of 3,605 sick,
7 $3.50 sick. Now this, 1t seems to me,
clearly means that our sanitary work
for this first year has saved 488 lives
and 2,238 cases of sickness.
Now, as to the measures that we
claim TO have been instrumental in
this saving of human life, on the
isthmus we find, from reading of the
experiences of our predecessors, that
the two principal diseases to be feared
are malaria and yellow fever; our
measures, therefore, have been d.
rected against these diseases. The au-
thorities Of the Panama republic placed
the sanitation of the towns of Colon
n Panama in our charge. We have
established health departments in these
towns, cleaned the streets, collected the
garbage, ditched and oiled all the dis
tricts possible, for the destruction Of
mosquitoes, covered all fresh water re-
ceptacles in the city of Panama, and
fumigated the whole town from one end
to the other for the destruction of in
fected mosquitoes.
AT this writing, April IS, we have not
a single case OF yellow fever in the city
of Panama. the last case having oc-
