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.

"One is, that the cotton exchange is in no way an essential to the marketing of real cotton. That it has been used very nearly altogether as a high-class hospitals from lack of care than to lose their lives In coin hut. and that "hos pitals are an unfathomable gulf; the source of their horrors appears to be Inexhaustible.” Two patients tn each bed was the rule and often three or gambling machine is proven by cotton , even four.

This saving is immense, and thousands of cotton dealers and hun dreds of mill owners have learned that they don’t need a place to ‘hedge’ at $15 per hedge and $300 margin. They have learned that this money can be better and much more safely used in buying actual cotton and in spinning actual cotton—eliminating this danger ous and useless risk of cost. They have learned that no matter which side they ‘hedge’ on, the $15 commission stays in the cotton exchange, and usually the Morgans, and sooner or later every I man who tackles it frames a telegram ward It was a sentence of death to be sent Into that wnrd with nn open wound, nnd In some Instances from 40 to 00 per cent of all the Inmates actually died.

"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.

Could not do any of my housework. 1 also had dreadful pains in my back and sides and when one ot those weak, sulking spells would come on me, 1 would have to give up and lie down, until it wore off. 1 was certainly in a dreadful state of health, when 1 finally decided to try Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 firmly believe I would have died if I hadn’t taken it.
