A TOOthpick Town.

Only one characteristic differentiates
the little village OF Strong, Me-, from
the thousands of others that are scattered
all over New England. That is the
peculiar industry which serves to support
the entire community. Strong is famous
for nothing but, toothpicks, but it is
known in the trade as the place from
which come the majority of toothpicks
that are used in the United States,
from the cheap common slivers Of birch
or maple wood that are picked up in the
ordinary restaurant to the round, tough,
nicely polished ones which cost ten times
as much and are known as Worlds Fair
picks.-BoStOR Herald.

The Sexes in the United states.

Some curious things in the census
continue to come forward as the final
remnants o. the count Of 1890 secure a
place before the public in the bulletins.
The proportion Of the sexes in the
eastern end of the State, for instance,
as we'll as the western, shows that
Pennsylvania is one Of the few Common
wealths where the males outnnmber the
females, by 74.648. A singular difference
Is the fact that while this city has an
excess Of 24,72O females, Pittsburg has
an excess OF 1924 males. In the United
States the census shows there were
$3.50 males and 3O,554, $40 females
in 1890, an excess of l,513,5lO. The
exact census figures are long In coming.

Don't Train Children to Death.

There was q mother who thoroughly

she gave her baby a drenching In it

The famous Frederika Bremen, while

that he nearly starved his children to

40 money, when they threw the end
II the rope over a beam and strung
the old man up. When he was nearly
strangled they left him down and again
asked him for bis money. Meeting
with the same reply as before. the same
operation was repeated. After little
while they 8gaiu let him down, and

WHAT THE FLOWERS MEAN.

The scarlet fuchsia is symbolic of
good taste There is nothing prettier
than a bed of these flowers, the bril-
liancy of their hue being admirably set
off by the green of their foliage.
The American elm has been sug-
gested as an emblem of patriotism.
Several historic elm trees are men,
toned in our revolutionary annals, and
from one of these the idea probably
originated.
The cedar is an emblem of immor-
;ality, the symbol being suggested by
its evergreen foliage. 1t is said to have
been so regarded by the Jews thousand
years before the Christian era
The white carnatiOn is regarded in
England as an emblem OF disdain. This
idea was probably suggested by the up
right habit of the flower, which mods
ard waves haughtily in the breeze.
The daffodil is 4 symbol of chivalry.
1t was once a favorite flower in France.
and at one time a fashion prevailed of
gentlemen wearing punches of daffodilS
in their hats with their plumes.
