 Dr. NJ. H. Scanlon, one of the re- monstrants, stated that when he sign ed the remonstrance he supposed that the signatures of the owners of a
 majority of property within the re- quired radius would be secured. He said 1t might be well If this applica- ton was to be seriously considered that the reputation of the place, and perhaps the applicant, might be wor- thy of investigation. and that the po- lice records might be of assistance.
 Judge Sweeney said he appreciated pr. Scanlon's position, but in this fn- stance the owners of the greater part of the property within the prescribed limit had not remonStrated.

Finger tBowLs Were
Used Before Forks

A delightful example of the progress Of
our table manners is wrapped up in the
story of the humble domestic fork.
Charles Jackson, r. S. A., who for the
past 25 years has been tracing and COM
piling records of the evolution of table
etiquette. says that in medieval times
absence, or lack, OF the fork must have
made feeding a somewhat unpleasant
sight, That was in the days before any
one had thought of such a thing as
fork, and while fingers still were con-
sidered proper mediums for the convey
ance of food from the plate to the
mouth.
Professor Jackson says that when Cory
ate, an Englishman who travelled in
Italy at the end of the 18th century
wrote his "Crudities" he had scarcely
anything more astonishing to tell his
readers that that the Italians doe al
wales at their meeales use little forke
when they cut the meate." Coryate was
delighted at the high standard of table
manners there, and records with sat-
isfaction that any one who touched meat
with his fingers was at least browbeat-
en-, II not reprenhended in words"
The earlier practice of holding a piece
in the fingers and carrying morels to
the mouth in the same manner brought
with ii another custom, and in its train
magnificent opportunity for the silver
smith. After each course one servant
brought round bowl or dish filled with
rosewater from special ever, so that
the diners might wash their hands, and
another mennial carried a towel.
So strong indeed, was tradition, and
not less the delight of owning such splen-
did works of art as the silversmith pro-
duced for this purpose. that rosewater
dishes and ewers continued to be made
long after the arrival of the fork in the
reign of James I had made them IN
necessary. A finger bowl set on the table
by each person was in full use toward
the end Of the 18th century, but there

Of the Making of Books
Chicago Tribune.

New York publishers win place over a
thousand new books on the market this
autumn. 900 of which will be fiction. 200
memoirs, histories and works of science,
and nearly $50 stories and books of in
struction for the young people, That
this is straining the reading capacity of
that portion of the public which is in
terested in books seems more than prob
able, and the courage of the publish
ers is something to arouse comment
That the majority of these books viii
no more than pay for themselves is a
foregone conclusion. That only a small
fraction will really achieve success is
something which even the sanguine pub
Usher must admit. Yet these men who
print and circulate the books prefer ac-
tivity to torpor and take their chances
with full appreciation of the risks they
run.
