Why Apostle Spoons"

"Apostle spoons" also called "gos-
sip spoons" were gilt spoons given by
the sponsors or "gossips" TO a child ut
Its christening. They were so called
because each spoon had a figure Of
an apostle on the handle. Wealthy
neople gave the whole twelve apostles;
those Of less means and generosity
gave the four evangelists: while poor
er persons had to he contented with
one. bearing generally the figure Of the
donors or OF the child's patron saint.

thor. 1t is noticeable that each apos-
lie seems to wear broad-brimmed hat

which is to he seen on all genuine

MADE OVER FOR BOOKLOvERS
New York Has Substitute for Saloon,
Where Literature and Soft
Drinks Are Sold.

A new idea in the way of substi-
tute for the saloon is to be tried out
in the BooRlOvers' tavern. recently
opened in New York, the Philadelphia
Inquirer states. This Is simply place
with the familiar bar and brass rail,
where soft drinks and literature are to
be dispensed together. Thus the inen-
tai exhlaration to be derived from
the latest novel will satisfy those ac-
customed to the cocktail and give GIN
ger ale or ice cream soda FLIP 1t
has not hitherto had.
The BooklOvers' tavern may draw
book purchasers, though its superiority
to the ordinary bo0kshOp Is not ap-
parent. But can ii be expected that
thirsts will be assuaged in this way?
And will those who seek inebrittiOn
between covers be able to pay the
price? A Kipling highball or Wells
fizz at SITS is considerably more than
the purchasers of alcoholic beverages
have been charged under wartime
prohibition.
II is obvious, too. that the kind Of
literature dispensed over the bar will
have to be very carefully guarded.
Many of our poets were roistering
lot, who did pot hesitate to celebrate
the charms of the Demon Rum.

DEGREES In Commerce,

Commercial education is to receive
new impetus at the University ofLOn-
don, where degrees In commerce are to
be inaugurated In the near future.
There are to be two degrees: First.
that of bachelor of commerce, which
would correspond to the same degree
In the other faculties; and. secondly.
the degree of master of commerce. The
salient idea Is that a modern language
is to be taught. not as an academic.
but as practical subject, says the
United States bureau Of education.
Among the languages which are to be
taught as practical rather than AGA
demic subjects would be Polish. czech,
Rmmanian. modern Greek, and the
great eastern languages. Hindustani.
Chinese and others.

French Academy In ouandary.

What the French academy is to de-
eide In connection with the national di-
rectory concerning the introduction Of
current slang terms created by and
during the war Is disturbing the peace
of its honorable members. Should such
words as "poilu" be recognized? Opin-
ion varies. Is "boche" to he academic?
."Poilu," literally "hairy one" Is gen
orally considered not to he wOrrhy
synonym for the heroic French sol
