CUPS and SAUCERS
TABLE APPURTENANCES THAT
ARE COMPARATIVELY MODERN.
Originally Cups Were Big, Fiaring A.
fairs, While Saucers Were Small,
Just the Reverse of Those
Of Today.

The cup and saucer is a modern in
rention unknown in the days of the
sixteenth century. Bowls Of various
sizes graced the banquet boards of
King Hal and Queen Bess, but cups
came in only with the introduction of
such drinks as tea and coffee.
The beverages Of the sixteenth CEN
fury were water, mead, sack and ale.
In the middle Of the next century came
tea, and with it the Chinese or "china"
teacup. Strangely enough, the men
who imported it from the Orient did
not themselves understand the method
VI It's use. as possibly the conservative
Britisher preferred to invent style
of his own.
The Chinese put pinch of tea into
a cup filed with boiling water, and
then inverted saucer over the re-
ceptacle, within whose rim it closely
fitted. The object was partly to retain
the heat, but chiefly to prevent the
escape Of the fragrance of the herb,
which Chinese olfactories found most
delicious. The infusion was permitted
to stand for five minutes, when 1t was
decanted into second cup without
saucer and daintily slipped therefrom.
John Bull, however, emphatically
declined to take his tea In Chinese
fashion. He liked the appearance of
the ornamental ware upon his table,
but he insisted on placing the cup In
the saucer, like miniature flower
pot, and used exclusively to drink
from, preparing the beverage In a
common instead of an individual re-
ceptacle.
In course of time England began the
manufacture of cups and saucers, and
pictures which have been preserved
from the days of the Stuarts show
big, flaring cups. four inches across
the top, with saucers less than three
inches in diameter. BY degrees one
dwindled and the other expanded, un-
I'll In the middle Of the nineteenth cen
fury the opposite extreme was reached
and fashionable tea services had cups
only an inch and half in diameter,
accompanied by f1ve-inch saucers.
The handle of the teacup came from
Mediterranean lands. Originally 1t
was made of thick and strong earth
enware and applied to heavy jars and
lamps. Its decorative possibilities
popularized it with Greek and Roman
potters, who extended It's use to small
amphors and fagons; but, as the word
"amphor" indicates. the handle was
double, like that Of the bouillon cup
today. Single handles crept into use
by slow degrees and were probably ap-
piled to drinking cups about the time
that coffee came into vogue In south.
ern Europe, the beverage being taken
almost at the boiling point, so that
some device for lifting the cup with.
out burning the fingers was found de.
sirable.
Travelling slowly northward. the one
handled coffee cup finally reached
Great Britain, where its merits were
Immediately recognized. 1t was not
long before handles were applied to
drinking utensils of every description.

SUGAR Cane in Arizona.

Sugar cane is being raised in Arl-
zona for the first time to any extent.
Some 1000 acres of the Salt River
valley are under cultivation, and next
reason this acreage will be increased
to 5000. This innovation is predicted
to be the beginning of an extensive in
fiustry, as the valley lands of both Ari-
iona and New Mexico are considered
we'll suited for the growth of cane, and
the higher lands can also be cultivated
