FALL OF THE TOOTH PICK.


Its Use in the Diningroom Is in Bad
Taste.
1t there is one thing more than an
other which needs correction, in the
ranks of what pass for cultivated peo-
pie, it is the prominence of the tooth
pick. No sight is more common, about
the dinner hour, than to see knots of
men gathered in front of hotels and
boarding houses, standing on street
corners riding in public convevances
or elsewhere, with a toothpick este n ia
tiously protruiing from the mouth, or
with the said wooden splinter in di IL
gent use as an excavator If we 90

we shall find that the disgusting habit
grows even more pronounced. and that
the tab itself is often a witness of the
indicate proceedi q. It is Il matter
of congratu att n, there ore, that a
better habit is asserting itself, in wit
ness of which the following extract
from hotel journal may be quoted:
THE practice of serving toothpicks, as
course, is no longer observed in DO
lite society. Neither are they used as
sideboard decoration and center
piece for the table. Neither are thew
served along with after-dinner cof-
fee, and it is not polite to pick
the teeth at table; it is rather
the act Of scavenger, even if
the face and mouth are covered by
napkin, as some people seem to think
Is correct. Really refined people suf-
fer pain rather than to pick their teeth
at the table. A person might as we'll
brush the teeth at meal, and it would
be quite as agreeable diversion. The
toothpick is properly an article of toilet
and for the bath room and the dress
ing room, and not for the dining room.
People do not clean their nails at the
table, which would be far more prefer
able than the opening of cavernous.

and haughter-in-iaw of Lord Montagu,
who on Feb. Is. was held by coroner's
jury as responsible for the death OF her
S-yeR Rr.old daughter Mary Helen, was
rearraigned yesterday
The case has been discussed in every
light, and it is generally believed by in-
partial persons that though Mrs Mon.

punishment Of the little girl, she had no
Thought of infiictng bodily INJURY upon
her much less of killing her,
Miss Dozell, the goyerness, repeated
the evidence before the coroner's jury,
that the little girl had committed some
act for which she had placed her in bare,
dark room. She afterward informed
Mrs Montagu, when the latter went
and tied the little girls hands behind
her with stocking. She then triced
her up with cord to ring in the wall
and left her, AT the expiration Of four
hours, when Mrs. Montagu went to the
room to release the child, she found that
the stocking in some unaecountable man
ner had slipped up around the child's
neck, and that she had been strangled
to death.
Mrs. Montagu was found guilty OF
manslaughter.
The trial of Mrs. Montagu on the sec
ond count, cruelty to children, was then
proteeded with.
