The Business of Making Toothpicks

The great toothpick monopoly is at an
end, Toothpicks may seem rather
small thing to get up a monopoly on,
vet such was the case. The familiar
toothpick which we pick up as we leave
a restaurant is made of white wood and
pointed at both ends. These little arti-
cles were patented in 1866, but the pa
tent has just run out, and the competl-
ton is now making things lively. The
only original factory, in Buckstield, Me-,
used from 5000 to 5000 cords OF wood
every year. For twenty-five cents box
of $500 toOthpicks and large profit OBJ
tanned. The complicated machinery
took in a log six feet long and eighteen
inches in diameter, and chewed it up
into toothpicks. But the old and origi-
nal factory seems to be about ruined by
Western cheap labor. Another factory
has started up in the woods OF Western
Ohio, and with similar machinery is
showing that every log has millions in
it," in the shape of toothpicks. The
price per $500 fell from twenty-five
cents to twenty cents, then to eighteen,
sixteen, fourteen, and finally to ten
cents retail and eight cents wholesale,
and here it stands. Whether competl-
ton will prove the life or death OF the
toothpick remains TO be seen.

The Espiritu Santo.

Some time since my attention was
called TO a rare and beautiful flower in
the possession of a popular florist OF
Espiritu Santo, or flower of the Holy
Spirit. 1t is indigenous to the lsthmus
of Panama, whence this specimen was
brought. The flower is rare even in its
native land The stalk, which grows
to length of three and sometimes four
feet, is surmounted by the buds and
blossoms. The flower, which is not
large, is of a delicate creamy white, and
exhales faint sweet perfume. One
half OF the flower is upright, the other.
folded back, exposes most dainty floral
grotto, in which rests, as in little cup
shaped nest, atiny dove with outstretch-
ed neck and extended wings as II about
to fly. The dove is of the same creamy
white as the rest of the flower, with the
exception OF the upper extremities OF
the wings, which are beautifully speck-
led. The perfection and liie-llke APP
pearance of the dove are incredible to
persons who have not seen the flower.
In its native land the Espiritu Santo
is held in religious veneration, and Is
supposed by the devout though igno-
rant natives to he a special emanation
of the person in the Trinity whose en-
blem it bears. 1t is believed that II the
flower be rudely plucked from the par
ent stem, or trampled under foot, the
hand or foot which is the guilty agent
OF the deed will shortly wither and lose
all life and power. If, on the contrary,
it be plucked with prayer, and for the
good purpose, the hand that calls it will
be shortly filled with treasure that must
bring iov to the heart of its owner, be-
ing God-given. No wild beast has pow
er TO harm the fortunate pOssessor OF
a fresh and living blossom OF this won
der-working plant, and OF course it is
equally efficacious in Sickness. &.

into Shirpur csntonment with slight loss, and
reports the enemy must suffer severely. If they

tribes in his front have risen, aud that his fur.
Their advance is consequently impracticable
