, CHILDREN ABSORB MUCH.
f
't Parents Little Realize What the
Youngsters Understand When
' . Spoken Of.
"Speaking of children , " said the
proud young papa to the New 01'-
h.'ans Times-emocra , " 01 " 'ou , can
never tell just how much they understand -
derstand OJ' just how much they
know of the things going 011
around them I had an experience
r he 1 other day with IDJ little tot
which serves to illustrate the
. < , . . . point } I have ill mind , and incidentally -
/ . dentally it shows that while older
folk may think they are playing a
wise and proper engagement in attempting -
tempting to impress upon the
t'hild's mind the unwisdom and
,
impropriety of talking too much.
\ it would be well for them to foot
t up the column now and then for
)1 ) 1 the purpose of finding out wheth-
il er they do not offend more in , this
particular than the children. J
am convinced that the result will
show that the parent , as a rule
and not the child , is the offender
, . ill the matter of tHlking. And the
pity of it is that we do it too frequently .

whose feet we seek to guide along ) !

r wife and my mother were tit lldn' !
. . ; "t . . in the presence of my little girl ,
: . , though they did not at the mo =
ment realize that she was paying
any attention to them. My mother -
er realized that the child might
pick up a word here and there , so
she said to my wife indifferently :
, 'I expect we will have to quit talk-
1 lug in the presence of this young
, ster. She's got too much gra y

matter. ' 'Too much sense , ' the
child said , quick us a flash , laughingly -
ingly looking at her grandmother
'Gray matter' didn't feaze her
though her grandmother had put
it this way for the purpose of con-
cealing her meaning. You can't
tell anything about how much the
child will absorb. The best rule ,
and the only safe rule , no matter
how young the child may be , is not
to say anything unless it is some-
thing you want the child to know
.01' something entirely t
in character. Children learn more
rapidly than we think they do , and
they seem to be quicker mentally
now than ever before. "
KNIVES AND FORKS RECENT
Chinese ATe Laughed At for Using
Chop Sticks , But Our Utensils
Are Late Inventions.
When we laugh at the Chinese
for using chopsticks we have forgotten -
gotten the fact that knives and
forks are n luxury of comparative-
lor recent date. Some 300 year
ago each man had his own knife
and at dinner seized the joint and
cut from it such portion as he
wished and passed it on to his
neighbor , who did the same. The I
knife then cut the meat into small- i
PI' bits , which were put into the
mouth with the unoccupied hand. '
None of the sovereigns of Eng-
land had forks until the reign of
Henry VII. All , high and low ,
used their fingers. Hence in the
royal households there was a dignitary .
nitary called the ewer , who , with
a set of subordinates , attended at
the meals with basins , water and
towels. The survival of ewerJ
was evident after forks had come
into fashion. 'Ve learned when
James I. entertained the Spanish
ambassador at a dinner "their
majesties washed their hand
with water from the same ewer
the towels being presented to the
king bJ the lord treasurer and to
the queen by the lord high ad-
mira1. " The prince of Wales bad
n ewer to himself , which waR
afterward used by the ambassa-
dor.
dor.The
The first royal personage in
England who was known to have
u fork was Queen Elizabeth , but
it is doubtful whether she ever
used it. Forks came so slowly into
use that they were employed only
bJ the higher classes at the middle
of the seventeentli century. About
the period of time revolution , 1688 ,
few English noblemen had more
than a dozen forks of silver , along
with u few of iron und steel. At
length the steel fork came in for
general use and was manufactured
"in Sheffield. At first they had two
prongs , but afterward another
.
prong was added.

Hard to Tell.

"but I'm not sure whether that is
due to kindness or caution.-
