Origin OF Familiar Things By Madison C Peters
Forks weTeF irstIn introduced in England in 1000.

~ OHkS were unknown until about
300 years ago. A knife was used
= at one table to cut up food, but
tine food was conveyed by the fingers
10 the mouth In 1900 forks were IIrsr
introduced into England, ana what IS
now looked upon as an evidence OF re
fiuemeur was derived from the Ital-
ians, and at first, eating with fork
was laughed at outside Of italy, as an
effeminate piece Of finery-
The first evidence Of q use Of the
fork in the 10th century fashion was
by q noble lady Of Byzantium, who had
married a dOge Of Venice, and ate IN
that city after her own custom, cutting
her meat very finely up and conF Gyms
it to her mouth with tWO-pronged
fork. The act was regarded IN Venice
as sign OF expensive luxury ana eA-
IRENE effeminacy. It is probable that
the fashion of eating with forks oriSl-
mated at the imperial court OF Byzan-
tium some hundreds Of years before 1t
extended TO the west This dOSeS BY
zantine wife lived in the 18th century
while the fashion OF eating with FORKS
did not become general until about
1900

their decorations were smoked up The

ney places it In Venice in 1347-
Pharmacy and medicine were first
made separate professions by the
priests in the 10th century The prepa-
rations were sold to the rich and given
away to the poor. The first mention
OF apOthecaries in France was In 14S4-
The father Of apothecaries was Con-
stantine Afer, of Carthage.
silk Made b. c. 260O.
The first silk was made b G. $500
by the wife Of a Chinese emperor.
Aristotle at $50 first mentions silk
among the Greeks. It was not until
A. D. $50, however, that silk began
TO be cultivated in Europe. The first
eggs were brought to India by monks.
Ocean navigation is of comparatively
recent date waving all that has been
claimed for the voyage OF the Savan-
nah, the first regularly built ocean
steamer was constructed on this side
Of the Atlantic by an American ship
builder, and this ship was the first
seagOinE steamer that ever crossed the
ocean, propelled wholly by steam. and
was called the Royal William, in honor
OF the sailOr-king who then reigned in
England. The Historical society Of
Chicago has her Origianl drawings on
file.
Insurance dates from the 18th cen
fury and was known at that time in
Florence The Romans knew nothing
about insurance. The nearest they
came to it was the practice Of a com
pany supplying the army to require a
guarantee from the state against the
loss Of ships which was soon aban-

BAND OF REBELS
AT REYES RANCH

Rebels are at the Reyes ranch. IS
miles south of Fort Hancock. Frank
Williams has returned from this ranch
with 300 head of Mexican cattle, which
he imported Monday. He says there
were a number of rebels at the Reyes
ranch from Caraveo's command. Others
were in the hills and bOsques below
the ranch, making a total of 50 rebels
in that vicinity.
The men told Williams that they had
been sent there by CaraveO to prevent
his taking the cattle, but Williams
succeeded in getting the cattle released,
the rebels even helping him to roundup
the strays.

Tea Drinking.
Tea drinking was invented by Chin
Hong 5006 years ago. An old woman
was accustomed to proceed, so the
story runs, every morning at daybreak
TO the market place, carrying a cup
of tea in her hand The tea plant has
grown for centuries in central Asia,
but tea drinking now began, the people
bought it eagerly from the old woman,
and from the dawn of day to dusky
night the cup was never exhausted.
The money received was given to the
orphans and beggars- The old woman
was sent 10 prison, but at night she
flew through her prison window with
her little vase in her hands.
Tea was not heard of in China again
for $50 years, when a priest advised
It's use as medicine In the ninth
century a beggar from Japan took
some OF the medicine and plants to his
native land The japanese liked the
tea as a drink, and built at Osaka
temple IN memory OF those who intro
dUced it-a temple still standing-7O0
years old. Gradually the people of
Iartary and Persia also learned to
love the drink and served it all hours
of the day. The Dutch and the Portu-
guese introduced the herb into Eu-
rope In the seventh century it be-
came known among persons Of quail
ity in Europe. In 1902 Dutch traders
carried a quantity of sage (Which was
then used TO make a popular drink in
Europe) to China, and by some in
genious device the Chinese tea drink
ers looked upon this as a fair exchange
for an equal amount Of tea, which
was brought home in safety and with
out the loss Of a single Dutchman.
Contribution Boxes.
The contribution box is of American
origin In colonial days all cOntribu-
tons were made in the shape of the
necessaries of life It was in this way
that the preachers were cared for, but
the difficulty arose when It came to
providing for missionaries. It was i'm
possible to send a missionary on his
journey with bushels Of potatoes and
pounds OF pork. Money became neces-
sary, and in some American brain the
idea was conceived of using the brass
warming pan to collect it. It was easy
to judge by the noise how much coin
was collected Therefore, It was deter
mined upon to adopt something less
noisy Then followed a time when
the corn pepper did duty as a collec-
ton plate The sound Of money was
no longer heard as it struck the brass
pan but something more artistic was
felt to be in keeping with the purpose
to which the money was devoted. and
gradually there was evolved the con-
trlbution box as we see 1T today.
