PUNISHED FOR USING FORK
sdered to Be tho invention Of
the Evil one.

Investigations made as to the exact
period when people gave up eating
with their fingers and resorted to forks
have fniled to give definite results.
II is known, however, that, In the
year 1880, Ia Constantlnople, the
daughter-in-law of 0rseleolo, doge OF
Venice, used fork to convey food
from plate TO mouth and thereby
greatly seandalIzed the faithful who
appear to have considered this In.
novatlon as an invention of the evil
one.
Saint Peter Damien relates the
affair with considerable plous indlg-
nation and, after explaining how the
Venetian princess made use Of a little
gold fork instead Of eating with her
fingers, adds:
"But the Almighty Father made
known TO this woman how odlous to
Hin was her vanity, and His wrath
was made manifest unto her, so that,
brandlshing over her head the blade OF
divine justice, He straightway caused
every part of her body 10 rot away"
All this for the heinous crime OF us
Ing fork, AS a matter of sober fact,
the doge's daughter-ln-law and her
husband were carried OFF In the great
plague OF 1850 among the victims Of
which, it nAy safely be said, were
many Of the faithful who ate with
their flngers.-From lie Petit ParIsien.
