About 17-Year Locusts,

Farmers from nearly every section of
the country are reporting the appearance
of the seventeen year old locusts in grjlt
numbers. More or less superstition lis
attached to the advent of the locus IS,
and many put full confidence in the be
lief that the fate of the country for tAe
next seventeen years is decided bb
whatever letter appears on the locust \
wing. In proof of this they cite the facl
that in 1855, when they appeared III
great abundance, the letter "W "couli
be plainly seen on their wings, which
signified war; AS war followed in few
years, the superstitious idea gained
strength, and is very generally believed
in throughout the country.
In 1872, the next regular period for
their appearance, it is claimed the letter
"P" olld be as distinctly seen on
their wings as the "W" of seventeen
years before. Peace and plenty fol
lowed their last appearance, which sat
isfes the credulous that the locust is Il
true prophet. What letter will appear
on their wings this year has not yet Leen
discovered, but the country folks are
anxiously awaiting an investigation OF
the matter.

How Toothpicks Are Made.

The Manufacturer and Builder
gives some interesting information
about the manufacture of ftoothpicks in a
Michigan factory. The wool of the
canoe birch is used exclusively. The
logs are sawed into pieces twenty
eight inches long, which are thoroughly
steamed and then cut into veneer. The
veneer is cut into long ribbons
three inches in width, and these rib
bons, eight or ten of them at time,
are run through the toothpick machin-
cry, coming out at the other end, the
perfect pieces falling into one basket,
the broken pieces and the refuse falling
into another. The picks are packed
into boxes, 1900 in a box, by girls,
mostly comely-looking young squaws,
and are then packed into cases and
finally into big boxes, ready for ship
ment to all parts of the world. About
seven and half million toothpicks are
turned out each working day by this es-
tablishment.

A Railroad Wreck.

A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala, says:
A railroad wreck, resulting in the death of
two men, and Che injury of 100 others, oc-
CURED near Pratt mines. The Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad Company runs n
train every morning to carry the miners from
Pratt mines to the different shafts.
The train, carrying about 200 men, was
running backward at the rate of ten miles an
hour when it struck two cows lying on the
track. Six of the cars were thrown down an
embankement and piled on each other.
Henry McCauley and Walter Beas,ey, car
penters, were instantly killed. On one of the
cars were about thirty convicts chained to-
gether, and strange to say they were about
the only persons who escaped injury. The
worst injuries were broken arms and legs.

The Monroe Doctrine.

There appearing disposition on
the the part of great powers of
Europe to assist Spain in efforts
to regain her American colonial
possessions, the independence of
which the United States had formerly
recognized, President Monroe called
special attention to the matter in his
message of 1928. in which he said: /:
"We owe it to candor and to the AMIGA
BILE relations existing between the
United States and those European
powers to declare that we should con-
slider any attempt on their part to ex-
tend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace
and safety. With the existing colonies
or dependencies of any European
powers we have not interfered and shall
not interfere; but with the govern
ments who have declared their inde-
pendence and maintained it, and whose
independence we have, on great consid-
erations and on just principles, acknowl-
edged, we could not view an interposi-
tion for the purpose of expressing them
or controlling in any other manner
their destiny by any European power,
in any other light than as manifesto
tion of an unfriendly disposition towards
the United States" This was an assur-
ance that moral support would be
given by the United States to the other
American republics in preventing any
further colonization on the shores of
the two American continents by Euro
pean powers. This is called the "Mon-
roe Doctrine" and has ever since been
recognized as a settled policy of the
Republic. When Napoleon iii. at
tempted to plant monarchy in Mexico.
and actually placed Maximilian on q
throne there, the United States recog-
nized in that case where the Monroe
Doctrine should come in play, and
warned France that if she did not re-
move her troops they would be expelled
by force. The French troops then
withdrew, leaving poor Macmillan to
his fate.-Illter Ocean.
