The train rolled down an embankment, and one coach was burned, ve people killed and seventy in- jured._ '1`he injured were taken to the house of Elliott. Now he wants $1;000 damages from the railroad because,_ he ` alleges, the health of his family has been had ever since the wreck, and this is caused by the soun_ds of the groans from the injured that vibrate through his house every night, and when they go outdoors at night the spirits of those killed in this wreck can be seen walking up and down a ' the track in front of his house.

Probably the rst pronged instru- men__t was used by the Italians late in the 15th. century. They appear to have been unknown to the ancients, no traceof them ever having been discovered among the ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii. ' The Chinese had the nearest idea to the fork in chopsticks, which required a great deal . of expertness to use with grace or eect. Chopsticks are used by the Chinese for eat- ing purposes up to date. Before forks were invented ngers were made to performthe service of picking up the meat, both for cooking and eating. Even after forkswere introduced they were looked upon as un- necessary 1uxuri'es,and were even forbidden to` be used in certain monastic establish- ments and convents. Forks were at first made with only two prongs of iron, in fact they were more like _double skewers; then three prongs were considered necessary, and these prongs wereconsidered more ,' us),-ful when bent. The French manufac- 5 tured a spoon fork, with four or five` prongs, but these were considered more i ornamental than useful. and were always a made in silver for presents. Four prongs are now considered the proper number for awell-made fork, although most of the , steel forks have only three. The-rst absolute necessity for a fork was in all probability felt by a carver, who required something to hold_ the meat steady while operating. The oldest carving fork known originally belonged to Henry IV. of France, about the year` 1600. It is said to be seen at the castle of Pau, on the Basses Pyrenees, where Henry ;A was born. It is made `of steel and with two prongs of great length, being. long enough and strong `enough to secure baron of beef. The earliest mention of forks in Italy was in 1611. In England, ' 250 years ago, it was quite a common sight eta banquet for each guest to put his n- {I gets into the dish and help himself. At ` the present time such customs are only to, _ be found at free . lunches." In ordinary life, however, the man who would put his ngers into the dish would be turned out, as a savage, and h'e who puts` his knife in his mouth is considered anything but a gentleman. The fork is now as necessary a part of the culinary appointments as the knife is. - . A AIl\` y|Jl England has always been `JUDGE. time of Queen Elizabeth; Case ordsheath knives are the most ancient kind of cut- lery; they originally had the T blade stuck " ipreaerninent in . the manufacture of knives, even" from the e in the handle, and when not -in_ use were , A covered by a case or sheath. Coast knives, 1 called "Whittles. were manufactured at 2 Shefeld in 1575, and were sold at the price of one penny, a good `round sum in those -days. In 1650 clasp knives were rst re- corded; they were made to fold over and shut into handles of iron or tortoise. shell, but they were very clurnsy implements compared with the elegant pearl and ivory-handled six and eight-bladed affairs of the present day. Sheath knives were used mostly for kitchen use and to cut up meat, and even now one can see a butcher ' or a. cook wield a knife, which, when not in use, is enclosed by a leather sheath. But nowadays the knives used for culin- ary purposes are innumerable, and to de* scribe them all would be to far overrun` these pages. i T....1,.. nun -4: .......I.. Inn. :........o-:,... H"... So familiar are we at with theuse of knivesand forks; and other 1 ` implements of the household, to" assist us? in the cutting up and `eating of our toad, " says Housefurnishmg Review, that it may ` instruct not..a few of our readersto learn ] that both these useful table and kitchen j necessities are of comparatively _modern invention-i--so recent. indeed, that it .18 curious to think whatmust have been the condition of society before they came to be in common use. Discoveries have proved that the earlier inhabitants of Europe and the aborigines of America used splinters of stoneor hardwood for cutting purposes, and it is a matter of wonder to discover what work they were enabled to perform with such primitive implements. The Greeks used copper hardened by tin, and various kinds of brass and , bronze, as blades for the weapons and knives for domestic purposes; The Romans a1'e_suu- posed to have been the first to make edge tools of iron for carving meat and for war- like purposes. i D-...l....A I..-.,. ..I._....... 1.. . . _ _ .............nnn6-3-g Lnom 00?-7 [it made. 1. --up`QC` -- THEY RANK was LIST ($I:: ]c'oMr$AnAe A TIVELY RECENT INVENTIONS.

As the colored .ights.of the spec, tzum fell upon it,sounds will be given by dilferent parts of the spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts. For instance if the vessels contains red worsted, and the green light ashes upon it. loud sounds will be given. Only feeble sounds will be heard if the red and blue parts of the rain- bow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sound at all. Green silk give: sound best in at red light.

That no less . than 23,000 people should have perished last year in the Indian prov- ince qf Bengel. from snake bites shows how little progress has been .made by science . toward the discovery of some antidote for the poison of these reptiles- T_he trouble is that the poison of nearly - every jsneciea seems to aifect a different organ of the body. Thus the bite of a cobra. seems to paralyze the lungs, while the poison of the daboia' produces terrible convulsions. From time immemorial physicians of every - clime and race have devoted their energies to the discovery~of cures for these bites; but judging from the heavy list of casual- ties from this sourcealone in Bengal, the most highly civilized province and pos- sessed of the best-system of medical super- vision of all English colonialdependencies, it would seem that all eiforts in this direc- tion have been abortive.V-New York Trib- IIIIA an _w uuayuunualus _yu.'u.
