The Table Fork.
That the table fork should be vir-
tually unknown and at any rate un-
used in the orient Is the more strange
when it is borne in mind that it orig
inally came from COnstantinOple. Long
before the fork made its appearance in
France it was in use at Venice, where
it had been introduced in 1905, on the
occasion of the wedding of Don PietrO
Oricola ArgilO, son of the doge of
Venice to Il princess of the imperial
house of Byzance. People at Venice
We're astonshed at the marriage feast
to see the bride make use of a small
gold fork for conveying the food from
her plate to her mouth, instead of
spoon and fingers. The bridegroom
was so delighted with the idea that he
at once had whole stock Of gold
forks made for his own use and for
months were past there was not a
patrician in Venice who did not en-
ploy q fork at his meals. The use of
the fork spread very slowly through
Italy and over the remainder of Eu-
rope. 1t was not until some 200 years
afterward that it was introduced into
France by Duke John of Brittany

Treatment of Dutch Children.
The Dutch peasant lives with canals
all about him and reaches his cottage
by way of a draw bridge. Perhaps it's
in the blood of a Dutch child not tC
fall into canal. At all events, the
Dutch mother never appears to antici
pate such possibility. One can imag
inc the average English or American
mother trying to bring up family in
a house surrounded by canals. She
never would have minutes peace un
til the children were in bed. But, then
the mere sight of canal to the Eng
fish child suggests the delights of 6
sudden and unexpected bath.
An Englishman inquired of Dutch
woman, Does q Dutch child by any
chance ever fall into canal?"
Eyes" she replied; ceases have beer

Don't you do anything for it?" con

ooh, yes" she answered.; 1--WE hau
them out again."
'But what l mean is" explained the
Englishman, don't you do anything tC
prevent them falling into save them
from falling in again.
