' *. : ii ■ The Home and Farm, The Industrious Hen, SOME CURIOUS SPOONS. U*m «• Which They Were Put by Pc# pic C Few Ccntwncc Age. We are fatnUlur nowaday* wiru epoona of many stuipea Intended for every \T;rlety of pcrpocc. but aotne old fasbloneil style# ure now merely curi osities. There is the okl fashl* ued narrow hjioou. for Instance, which was used for extracting marrow from •rbones. It was m.ide double, one end being used for small bones and tbe other for those of larger bore. Another example is tbe mulberry spoon. This has a perforated bowl and a spiked and pointed handle, says the London Globe. The Implement* were made for use In a day when mulber ries were much more commonly eaten than they are at the present time. With tbe perforated bowl a little sugar was sprinkled on tbe berry, which was then conveyed to tbe mooth on the spiked end of the handle. Tbs Introduction of tea led to tbe at a variety of new kinds of spoon ttsstf. some of which stUJ iw> main In nan. while others have dlaafv pea red. At Smith Kensington may be seen, for example, a curious collection of tbs little scoops so well known to our great-grandmothers as caddy spoons. Tea enthttss of tbs old fasb- toosd kind have long been superseded, add when the caddy with its two lid- dad and metal Lined end compartments and tbs sugar bowl In the cavity be tween went out of nso the caddy spdbu br scoop disappeared also. Another obsolete curiosity Is the snuff spoon, which In the days when nearly everybody took snuff and took It everywhere waa used for conveying the scented powder from the box to tbe bend or In some caoee direct to the Doge. Candle spoons and pap spoons also are out of date. A Llangollen gentleman n few months ago wrote In a Shropshire r«P«" that he had In his possession a silver prp spoon which l had Um-ii originally given by the“Mar fpils of rxeter to a member of (he Hoggins family of Lolas. The po*fe?> sois»of this spoon remarked that It Led **-en given to him by his father v.lrh 1 the v.lsh that It should be handed | over to the first married h: each ‘’m- eceding generation, for ns r * ‘ : ' ’ I oome to him through the 1:v of the two families In real's y.r e ly Three hundred years ago there v :i< one at Ilford.

The fork was at the hack of the spoon, while the handle of the double article was finished off with a little figure terminal, which served ns hnn die for tbe toothpick. The terminal figure was -a very favorite form of •poon ornamentation. It la most familiar In the apostle spoons, of which original sets fetch such high prices and of which latter day imitations are so abundant, but the figures were by no menus confined to tbe apostles. In some cases the spoons were curiously finishtd with double beads. Vbich can bnrdly have conduced, one would think, to conven ience of handling. A enrions hut de cidedly unpleasant form of ornament gave Its name to the “death’s bead” spoon, which was made for com mein o- rattvs purposes, a very unattractive kfo4 of “memento morl" KNEW HUMAX_ NATURE.
