THERE is no more inoffensiye and
harmless thing, apparently, than the
slivers of white wood so numerous about
the public eating places. Yet the au-
topsy of young man who died sud-
denly in New York the other day re-
yealed the fact that he was victim of
the toothpick. Some of the internal
works were good deal like pin cush-
ions, putting toothpicks in place of pins.
He had evidently been in the habit of
chewing the little dental searchers and
swallowing the fiber. Possibly his des-
serts were light, and he sought to exc
them out with the woody substitute.
But it is quite common to chew tooth
picks and swallow some of the fiber
The New York case shows the fate of
the toothpick iend.

THE agents OF the British syndicate
are reported in st. Louis, Chicago and
other large cities trying to negotiate for
the purchase of the breweries. The
persistence with which these efforts
have been made has led to inquiry as to
the cause, with the plausible explanation
that the lighter beer of this country is
crowding out English ale from the mar
kets OF the world. Even Australia is go
ing back on the English product. 1t is
matter of seif-preservatiOn with them.

PROBABLY it was a coincidence
merely that the marriage of the en-
peror of China was fixed for the 4th of
March, unless it was designed to show
that the excluded JoHNNYs could have
a bigger day than the Mclean man.
The emperor is but boy, and the old
lady, empress regent, will see to run
ming things, just about as BLAINE will
for HARRISON. The whole empire will
burn firecrackers and swing their pig
tails over the beginning to furnish the
emperor wives.

Kcllar,s secona Night. .

Kellar, the great magician, had an
audience last evening which was larger
than that of the night before. The people
were again mystified by his wonderful
tricks and the mind reading Of Madame
Steen was wonderful although she was
away OF at one time. One of the committee
that went upon the stage was Mr.. John r.
Malone, esq. MIR. Steen picked up several
watches In the audience which the woman,
who was blindfolded on the stage, de-
scribed, giving their numbers. lie then re-
turned to the stage and Mr.. Malone asked
him whether tho woman could tell the num-
ber of watch ifhe tSteen) did not handle IL
first. Steen seemed TO think Mr.. Malone
skepticsl, and told him that tho woman
could tell the number Of his (Malone's)
watch In his pocket. He asked the woman
and in slow tones she said "78s." Steen,
with a great flourish said "that is the NUM-
Der Of your watch for thousand dollars"
Mr.. Malone left him under that impression
but the number of the watch is !, ,a03 and
tho case 1886. The Spanish Students came
In for big share OF the applause.
