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toosd kind have long been superseded,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also are out of date.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

eceding generation, for ns r * ‘ : ' ’

Three hundred years ago there v :i<
one at Ilford. In Essex, which held
more than a quart. Others cf in nr

Into the general dish to help them
selves to meat more dainty diners car
ried abont with them an Implement
which was a combination of spoon
and fork and toothpick.
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"

No wild regret their eyes caa dim.
