LITERARY WORLD
KENTUCKY HohoRs LINCOLN.

KENTUCKY HONORS LINCOLN.
While the Old Dominion and the
Buckeye States have always prided
themselves on the presidents they have
given to the nation, Kentucky is just
beginning to realize that as the mother
of Abraham Lincoln she has a claim
upon birthright distinction that no
other multiple Of presidential sons can
ever overshadow or diminish.
It was not. however, until after The
Lincoln Farm Association had been or
ganized by group of patriotic men in
New York for the purpose of conserv-
ing and caring for Lincoln's birthplace
In the very geographic center Of the
Blue Grass state, that Kentuckians
realized their own lamentable tardl-
ness In properly honoring their graa--
est son. Approaching the fact that
kentucky had left the Lincoln birth
place shamefully neglected for the peo-
pie OF other states to care for, Mr..

As TO ORIGIN OF THE SPOON.
Shells Probably First Used for Pur.
pose in Prehistoric Times.

The suggestion Is offered by a cor
respondent that the domestic SPOON
probably owes its origin to the she'll.
Shells OF the mussel, scallop, and oy-
ster, it is believed, were used in pre-
historic times as spoons and ladies',
the handle being formed Of a piece
of wood split at one end to hold the
shell firmly. Some savage nations
make similar spoons up to the present
day, and the old Highland custom Of
Offering whisky in shell has been.
probably handed down from genera
ton to generation for untold ages
Westman in his History of the
Spoon" gives Roman specimens, which
are very simple in design-something
like silver caddy spoons-and are
much shorter in the handle than those
from Egypt. Those for common use
were generally made Of bronze, iron
or brass. They clearly show how the
shell shape was retained, and their
marine origin is also preserved in the
name Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
from cochlea, shell or cookie. The
Celtic spoon also closely resemb!ed
the she'll in form, though made Of
bronze. The horns of various animals.
such as the OK, bison and ram, were
often used as drinking cups, and as
the material was found suitable, it
was sometimes used with wood, ivory,
metal, etc., for spoon making. Hence
the ancient expression: ITO spoil a
horn to make a spoon"

The Handy SWedes.

Americans generally regard them

land. II misfortune come upon a son
Of that thrifty land you may find him
putting in chair seats to-day, stitching
a coat tomorrow, and raising Easter
lilies the next day. This happy ability
is not due so much to any natural
ability as to the "sloyd" system Of ed
ucation which has been so long in
operation in Sweden. BY this system
the children are taught to do" for
themselves-to make for themselves
everything conceivable for use in daily

hear the vanished voices of the people
who 500 years ago, as protection
from danger, crawled into this stone

shell.

to lie on your back at the edge of the

ground, and begin to fall downward
head first, while two stout men hold
your legs, which are up in the air.
Dear me! what stone to bless! And
when there are so many stones which
could be kissed without danger to
life or limb!
The only man in our party who went
through the contortions to bring his
lips and the sacred stone together,
and who had often done it before, was
the coachman who had driven us to
the castle. But he is still coachman.
Perhaps the reason he has not derived
any benefit from the performance is
that he has kissed the stone too often.
At Hotel Shelbourne, in Dublin,

American who came over with me on

are more natural and frank than they
are on land. A distinguished diplo-
mat on board who has represented our
country in foreign courts, speaking Of
William J. Bryan, expressed himself
with freedom and terseness that
would have surprised his own ears
had he voiced the same thought ON
land. He had unbounded respect for
Bryan's oratorical and rhetorical gifts.
