Some Ting Spoons.

Ml as Phoebe Ann West, of Nantucket, la the possessor of the most remarkable twelve dozen spoons In this country. They were brought to America, by Mies West’s father, who was a sea captain, several years ago. They are of East Indian workmanship and their minute dimensions may be realized when It Is stated that the twelve dozen perfectly formed spoons are kept In an ordinary cherry stone. The carved cherry stone which holds them is one of the most wonderful examples of skilled handiwork In existence. It Is exquisitely carved and mounted on a tiny silver and Ivory stand.
