Toothpicks and Toothpicking,

The only toothpicks that hygiene and con-
veniency admit are wooden splinters or quilts
Gold or silver toothpicks are dangerous, be-
cause the metal may scratch or chip the
enamel of the teeth. The use of the precious
metals for making such a mean instrument
as toothpick is an example of snobbishness.
An ivory toothpick is also objectionable, be-
cause the ivory is absorbent, and in the
course of use becomes unclean. Use tooth
pick and throw it away afterward. You do
not want to carry a toothpick in your pocket,
unless you are travelling in barbarous or over
sauean1ish countries Here the question
arises: 'How is the toothpick TO be used?"
The reply is: "Simply, without affectation,
and without obstinacy."
At some of the best tables ct which have
had the honor Of sitting in Europe found a
quill toothpick laid at the foot of the wine
glasses as being as indispensable part OF the
convert, or service, as a knife and fork. But
unless deliberately watched for certain
length of time, thereby losing the enjoyment
of part Of the dinner-which, you may be
sure, was not often the case-1 never noticed
guests using these toothpicks. And yet they
did use them, certainly; but when doing SO
they did not hoist the white flag to call the
attention of the whole table to the operation,
as those do who try TO hide their faces behind
their napkin This maneuver, SO common
among the Americans, is at best a false prud-
cry, worthy only Of the intelligence of an
ostrich. To hold up your napkin 50 is simply
making signal. as who should say: "Now,
look out; I'm going to pick my teeth See
how ashamed l am of the clumsy way in
which do the said picking!'
Such picking of teeth as is necessary for
comfort may be done at table without any
holding up Of napkins, without any clumsy
holding of our hand before the mouth, which
is almost as ostentatious as the white flag sig
nal, and, above all, without any scraping,

President and prefect.

When Marshal MacMahon was president Of
bhe French republic, he made number of
changes In certain official places, and at one
time took tour through the country which,
1t was said, was TO be marked by a removal
of a number Of projects, or local governors,
and their replacing by others Of the presi-
dents party.
He arrived at the principal city of de-
partment the project of which, by reason Of
his politics, was marked for removal; and it
happened that the president lodged in a
room which was exactly opposite that of the
project, in the prefecture, or government
house
The president had acquired in his army
days the habit of rising early and brushing
his own clothes; and on this occasion he got
up at an extremely early hour, opened his
window, and, seeing no signs OF life, took his
coat and waistcoat and began brushing them
at the window.
The project. it happened, had been pre-
vented from sleeping by the prospect Of los
Ing his place, and was awake at the time,
trying to study out some means of keeping
the Office. Hearing the slight noise which
the presidents toilet making caused, he peeped
out of the window, and saw the head Of the
state hard at work with bis brush.
81 have it'll" said the prefectto himself He
got his own clothes together, hunted UP q
brush, put up his window suddenly, and
began brushing This attracted the atten-
ton of the governor, who looked over and
saw him at work.
'Well, WE'LL Is that you, Mr. Prefectg' he
said
"As you see, Mr.. President said the pre-
feet
You rise early, Mr.. Project"
"As you see, Mr.. President"
"Ahl and you have the same trick that !
have of brushing your own clothes, which is
very singular. Now in my case it is an old
soldiers habit, Mr.. Project"
''In that respect am a soldier, Mr.. Presi-
dent" was the reply
One thing led to another, and in a few min
utes the project was invited over into the
presidents room, and the two great men were
soon chatting amiably together.
The story ought to end with the presidents
finding out the stratagenl of the willy pre-
feet and cutting OFF his official head But, as
the Parisians tell the story, the project was
not removed; and afterward, whenever his
name was mentioned possible subject for
a change, the president would shake his head
''Oh, know him." he would say ''He is
all right where he is. He's fellow who gets

was captured at last, and in his own room
were found, they say, hundred or more
dime novels. His future Is fxed-solitary
confinement for life in the Michigan penicen-
tiary, unless the men of the wild region cut
his existence short by lynch law.
As often happens in such cases there is
dispute as to the melting causes to his career
of crime: but the popular verdict puts them
in two words, dime novels. " About hun
dred of these extraordinary productions were
found in his quarters, and the statistical
crank may amuse himself with the reflection
that it needed but $40 worth of romance to
turn an innocent lad into a villain. The
man OF any literary taste, however, will in
sist that such dose Of such stuff would dis
gust rather than attract, and the philosopher
will maintain that unless Que Is 3 criminal at
heart all the penny dreadfuls" in the world
would not make him a criminal in fact.
More than one expert in crime, from In
spector Byrnes. of New York, 10 a rural jus
tice of the peace, viii tell you that men do
not become criminals by reading of crimi-
mails; they seek and enjoy such reading because
they are already criminal in feeling. If,
therefore, YOU find boy or a trusted en-
