The Table Knife.
The knife with which you cut your
meat lu-ilay ia the result of a alow de
velopment from the moat remote ages.
The human race cannot long huve ex
tended before necessity promoted the
uae of a rude culling instrument with
which game might be killed and di
vided.
The knife was chipped out of flint or
stone, although originally such in
struments may not have been fashioned
at all beyond tne rude shape that
nature guve them. Sometimes they
were made from shells or the boriea of
animals or sharpened pieces of tough
wood.
For uges the same implement served
indiscriminately on the field of battle,
in the chase and at meals. Finally it
took different shapes, according to the
use to which it was to be put. A
curved blade was used for whittling, a
straight one for domestic purposes, and
a pointed or a dugger-shaped knife
served as a weapon.
When history opens men were already
using knives of copper. Somewhat
later tin was added to the copper, and
bronze instruments resulted. Bronze
continued in favor until the time of
Caesur, but iron had come into use a
thousand years before. The steel of
Damascus gradually took their places.
In literature the earliest use of the
knife has reference to its use in the
sacrifice. We are familiar with the
reference in Genesis: "And Abrahum
stretched forth his hand and took the
knife to slay his aon."
The Greek word knife is derived
from a verb which means fight, and
refers to a large knife worn by heroes
and used by them for slaughtering ani
mals. Since the Greeks were in the
habit of feasting on their sacrifice, we
can hardly imagine that this knife would
often be used in carving meat. In the
works of Herodotus we have reference
to its use as a curving knife. Fhere-
crates, a comic poet, mentions a knife
for cutting meat on one plate.
At the beginning of the Christian
era table knives were still without
favor. Thut they were used to a lim
ited extent is indicated by the fact
that ivory-handled knives were found
in the Komun tombs, besides dishes of
food. There are certain monuments
depicting banquet scenes at which the
gucBts were provided with knives, but
ordinarily the luod was cut before be
ing placed upon the table. We learn
from Clement of Alexandria thut by
the second century the use of knives
had become cummon in the Komun Em
pire.
But certain it is that until the four
teenth century the table knife did not
appear in a class by itself. Up to that
time the guest attending a dinner pro
vided his own, or if he failed to do so
used his fingers. Within another cen.
tury, however, the table knife became
so popular thut three (lislincts kinds of
knives were manufactured — u smull
knife used in eating, u curved knife
with a broad blade, and the pare pain,
or bread peeler, designed to trim the
crusts from tint pieces of bread, which
were often used insteud of plates.

Every day witnesses a further ap
proach toward normal conditions in
America's ocean trade. England lifts
the ban upon cotton deslined for her
enemies, and Germany and Austria in
stantly sends orders for great cargoes.
Germany at the same time removes
her restrictions upon the exports of
potash, and American manufacturers
immediately renew their buying. Our
agricultural export^ leap to $30,000,000
in a month, and they will leap still
more when cotton begins to come back
to its own.
Sir George [Paish, as competent an
authority as Great Britain can furnish,
tells American bankers, through the
Public Ledger, that the banking law
and the financial situation here are ad
mirable. Our country’s greatest rail
road belies pessimistic prophets, and
comes forward with its regular divi
dend.
Bad as the steel trade is, it. has im
proved 10 per cent, over conditions in
the early summer. From all parts of
the United States come reports of im
mense orders for manufactured articles
for the nations now at war.
Here is an order for 2,000 automo
biles, there is an order for several mil
lion pairs of shoes. Western farmers
are selling more horses in Europe than
at any other time in our history’. Our
gunmaker receives a call for 300,000
rifles.
Blankets, sweaters, biscuits, meat,
canned goods and stockings in large
quantities are pouring across the At
lantic. That stream of exports will
start another stream of gold, which will
flow from Europe to the United States.
Here is a vital point. All the war
ring countries had home supplies to last
a few months. But the longer the war
the greater depletion of those prepared
stores and the larger must be the or
ders placed in the United States. We
have just begun to feel them, but the
effect is a stimulant to American trade
that must grow more pronounced as
the winter approaches.
The United States is the vast store
house of the world for nearly all the
necessities of life. Never was this
store-house so essential to other peo

Best Cough Medicine for Children.
"Three years ago when I was living
in Pitisburg one of my children had a
hard cold and coughed dreadfully. Upon
the advice of a druggist 1 purchased a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and it benefited him at once. I find it
the best cough medicine for children
because it is pleasant to take. They
do not object to taking it," writes Mrs.
LaFayette Tuck, Homer City, Pa. This
remedy cor tains no opium or other nar
cotic, and may be given to a child as
confidently as to an adult. Sold by all

heaven, didn’t he?”
“Yes, dear,” answered the mother.
Johnny was silent for a moment, and
then he went on:
“I say, ma.”
"What is it, Johnny?"
"I don’t blame the angels for fling
ing him out, do you?”

When you have found no remedy for the horrors that
oppress you during change of life, when through the long
hours of the day it seems as though your back would break,
when your head aches constantly, you are nervous, de
pressed and suffer from those dreadful bearing down pains,
don’t forget that L.ydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
is the safest and surest remedy, and has carried hundreds
of women safely through this critical period.
Read what these three women say:
From Mrs. Hornung, Buffalo, N. Y.
Buffalo, N. Y.—“ I am writing: to let you know how much your
medicine has done for me. I failed terribly during the last winter
and summer and every one remarked about my appearance. I suf
fered from a female trouble and always had pains in my back, no
appetite and at times was very weak.
“ I was visiting at a friend’s house one day and she thought I needed
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I took it and have gained
eight pounds, have a good appetite and am feeling better every day.
Everybody is asking me what I am doing and I recommend Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. You may publish this letter if you
wish and I hope others who have the same complaint will see it and
f et health from your medicine as I did.”—Mrs. A. IIornunq, 91
tanton St., Buffalo, N. Y.
Was A Blessing To This Woman.
So. Richmond, Va.—“ I was troubled with a hearing down pain and
a female weakness and could not stand long on my feet. Of all the
medicines I took nothing helped me like Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound. I am now regular and am getting along tine. I
cannot praise the Compound too much. It has been a blessing to me
and I hope it will be to other women.”—Mrs. L>. Tyler, 23 West
Clopton St., South Richmond, Ya.
Pains in Side, Could Hardly Stand.
Lodi, AY vs.—“I was in a bad condition, suffering from a female
trouble, and I had such pains in my sides I could hardly move. Be
fore I had taken the whole of one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound I felt better, and now I am well and can do a good
day’s work. I tell everybody what your medicine has done for me.”
—Mrs. John Thompson, Lodi, Wisconsin.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for fe
male ills. No one sick with woman’s ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering women to health.

Pleasant Hill, N. C.—"I suifered lor
Ihree summers," writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, "and the third and
last time, was my worst.
I had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about. Could not do any of my
housework.
1 also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one ot those weak,

After I began taking Cardui, I was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re

Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner

sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
