About two hundred and seventy years ago, feme gentlemen of the Pays dc Vaud, eating their soup hastily, with wooden spoons, declared them more pro per for the purpose than spoons made of metal, as the latter retained their heat longer, and were apt to burn their mouths. This was good sense, but not fatisfied with pursuing that which was agreeable to themselves, they endeavor ed to force the fa(hion down the throatsi of their neighbors, instituted an Order of the spoon, and published an edi£t com manding all men in the country, to use wooden spoons on pain of imprisonment, &c. &c. Whimsical as it niay appear, the reader may find, in jacob Spoils Hilloria de Geneve, torn. I, page 320, that they wore a wooden spoon as an ho norable badge round their necks, and were not finally subdued but by a regu lar allied army /from Berne, Fribourg, Solcure and Geneva, amounting to twelve thousand men, with 18 pieces of cannon! ! !
