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

The suggestion is offered by cor
respondent that the domestic spoon
probably owes its origin to the shell.
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 a shell has been
probably hGnded down from genera.
ion to generation for untold ages.
Westman In his History of the
Spoon" gives Roman specimens which
are very simple in desgn-something
like silver caddy spoons-and are
from Egypt Those for common use
were generally made OF branze, iron
or brass. Thew clearly show how the
shell shape was, retained, ana their
marine origin is also preserved In the
name of a -Cochleare---d crived
from cochlea, shell or cookie. The
Celtic spoon also closely resembed
the shell 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, ii
was sometimes used with wood, ivory,
metal. etc. for spoon making. Hence
the ancient expressions ITO spoil a
horn to make spoon"
