Forks were used to pitch hay
long before they were seen on the
dinner table. Farmers worked with
large forks hundreds of years before
any one had the idea that small
forks could be used to transfer food
to the mouth.
People had fingers, and why
should they think about forks? They
were content to pick up meat with
their hands and put it where it was
supposed to go. They had knives to
cut the meat and spoons for soup,
and it seemed that they needed
nothing else.
OF course it was bit messy" to
| eat meat in that way, but finger
bowls were passed around. People
dipped in their fingers, perhaps
their whole hands, TO get them clean.
A towel was provided to wipe the
hands after they were washed in the
/ bowl of water.
So it went for century after CEN
tury. Even kings and queens handled
! meat with their fingers. Several
/ years ago an interesting moving pic
yue about Henry VIII was produced.
and the king made away in a hurry
with chickens and other food. The
picture was quite right in showing
Henry raising meat to his mouth
with his hands.
Many persons who saw the picture
felt that Henry was using bad table
manners when he ate in that way,
but what else was he to do? England
had no table forks in those days!
The table fork idea came to
England about so years after Henry

Here is a member in good stand

Club, creature hibernating one
half of the year. Jumping mice be-
long to the Zapodidae family, in
which are found mouselike animals
scattered over the northern parts
of North America.
They are unlike true mice in II any
ways. They have very coarse sur
and exceedingly long legs. In their
jumping habits, they resemble the
jerboas of the Old World and the
kangaroo rats Of our Southwestern
States. Because of their kangaroo
like appearance, they have been
wrongly called marsupials and said
to carry their young in pouch.
The babies are born in a nest in
the ground, and remain there with
their mother until old enough to
eat solid food.

VIII died So far as is known, it
was brought in from Italy.
An Englishman made visit to
Italy and sent back a letter about
eating customs. In short form, here
IS what he said:
The Italians always use little
fork when they eat their meals.
1t is bad manners to put the fingers
to the meat dish. and worse manners
to carry the meat from the dish with
the fingers
The man who wrote the letter was
Thomas Coryate. When he returned
10 England, he brought forks with
him and used them at his table. AS

nickname of Fork

table forks became fairly common
among the English. They were MADE

be handled, breathed on and placed
in some other retreat. Their bodies
are soft and warm, but very limp.
Gradually, they will return to a
normal state, picking up family du-
ties as if they had only enjoyed an
8 hour snooze.
So far, no reports have been made
these little fellows are destructive.
