OF the hundred and one delicate trif1es
Of the ancient wedding toilet, few were
invested with more tender fancies or
mystic symbolism than these knives;
there was first the idea of the severing
Of the knot of love. and then the more
practical suggested emblem Of good
housewifery and domestic policy.
They were not worn in England alone,
but all over Europe wedding knives form
ed part of the brides regular accouter-
ments. The highest invention was often
brought to bear upon their metal, bro
cade and shagreen cases and sheaths.
In the old Flemish pictures they may be
seen hanging from the ladies' girdIes be-
side the b0dkin. scissors and other per-
s0nal articles of the new wife.

OLD WEDDING KNIVES.
Few Specimens Left Of This Once
Common Gift to Brides.

From the Queen.
OF the many dainty and curious relics
belonging to old wedding customs none
is more interesting and beautiful in it
self than the once Indispensable bride
knives, specimens of which still linger
here and there among the cabinets Of
old country houses.
Or you may discover slender. quaint
old pair of these ancient posy knives in
their delicate. faded cases, hiding behind
the glass In some sleepy. provincial mu-
scum.
You scarcely realize as you examine
them that without her wedding knives
duly attached to her girdle the medieval
and seventeenth century bride would
hardly have considered herself dressed.
So completely a part Of the marriage
costume were they and so important an
item OF the ritual Of the ceremony that
they once came to be considered almost
as necessary to an orthodox marriage as
the veil and the ring itself. The old
plays TEEN with illusions to them.
And who can forget the figure Of Juliet,
wearing her wedding knives. as she
stands in tragic anguish in the friar's
cell, and again when she is about to take
the sleeping potion? Shakespeare IN the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-01-08

and sometimes they were jeweled to a
standard of immense value. 1t is very
curious to learn that many OF the finest
English specimens emanated even In
those remote days from Sheffield.
The precise origin of the custom OF
wearing wedding knives is lost I'm OBJ
security, but their decline from Favor
seems to have set in after the reign OF
William and Mary. In the time Of Anne
and the early Georges the custom was
already obsolete and archaic. There is
something almost mysterious in the way
in which these beautiful little mementos
have completely vanished from modern
usage, disappearing almost concurrentIy
with the Inflated Stuarts.

another OF these predominant to such an
extent as to impart a distinctive color and
taste. enough to allow the honey to be
calledeby that name. BY microscopic ex-
er a so-called apple-blossom honey or an
orange-blossom honey is really largely
derived from the source claimed.
Another possibility Of this means of
Identifying the pollens of plants in q
sample OF honey is the determination, in
some cases, Of the locality in which the
substance was produced. This is rendered
feasible by the fact that many of the
plants from which honey is obtained grow
in comparatively limited geographical
areas Thus 1t is manifest that pollen
from the orange tree would not be found
In honey made in any OF the states eX-
cept those of the southern or sOuthwest-
ern section OF the country. 1t is some
ment Of Agriculture experts to determine
In this way whether product is truly
labeled in respect to the part of the
country in which produced.
.
The government detectives of food adul-
iteration bring to bear in the course Of
their daily work some remarkable tests
OF science. Thus in the determination Of
various kinds OF starches the test by
polarized light is employed. 1t is explain
ed that the worlds supply OF starch
comes for the most part from a limited
number Of plants-tweive or fifteen in
GLIDING nearly ell that are Of much COM
mercial Importance. To the naked eye
these StarcheS all appear as a fine white
powder, but with the aid of polar1zed
light and the microscope they are seen
to be very distinctive.
The light wavessfor this test, instead OF
the diffusion to which one is normally
accustomed, are brought together and,
with the aid of prism, made to vibrate
along one plane. This uniform light,
which is unknown in nature, is brought
to bear upon the specimen under the mi
croScope and the observer then beholds
much that could not be seen under ordi-
nary conditions. BY this test potato
starch adulterated with corn starch, wheat
with corn -four and buckwheat with wheat
are together with similar frauds, readily
detected by the government food detect
ives.
