TooTHPICK TowNs.-In Harbor
Springs, Mich. there is a large and
flouriShing wood toothpick indus-
try. White birch is exclusively
used III the manufacture OF the
toothpicks, and about z, 500, 900 are
turned out daily. The logs are
sawn into bolts each 2S inches in
length, then thoroughly steamed
and cut up into veneer. The ve-
neer is cut into long ribbons three
inches in width, and these ribbons,
eight or ten at a time, are run
through the toothpick machinery,
coming out at the other end, the
perfect pieces falling into one bag
ket, she broken pieces and refuse
falling into another. At JohL-
vile lie Pont, near Paris, II. Bardin
has largely devoted himself to the
preparation of quill toothpicks.
Previously, his establishment had
sent out about 90, 900, 900 quill pens
annually-the product Off, 900, 900
geese. At first he endeayored to
compete with steel pen manufac-
turers, by cutting several pens in
the shape of metallic ones from
each quill, bnt he found it more
profitable to turn his attention TO
the manufacture Of toothpicks. He
produces 100000 toothpicks an
nnally. In Britain there are said
to be only three firms of toothpick
manufacturers; one in Aberdeen,
one in London and one in Birming-
ham.-BOst0n Trareller.

rails in Southern prisons.
THE PRACTICAL MORAL.
The logic of all this, DR.. Jones,
urges, is that We should have chairs
of American history in our Senth-
ern universities and colleges fully
endowed and equipped and filled
by competent professors, who shall
teach the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth concerning
the history of the United States,
who shall prepare textbooks on
American history which shall not
be partisan, but broad, conserva-
tive and judicial, and which at the
same time shall recognize the South
and so present her glorious achieve
ments that coming generations may
not be ashamed of their fathers or
of the land they love SO WE'LL

Northern papers one the use oi
school histories of the United States
by Southern authors in Southern
schools is fully met by paper pre-
pared for the Southern Educational
Association, by Rev. j. William
Jones, of Miller School, Va, chap
lain general Of the United Confed-
crate Veterans Association. The
paper of DR.. Jones was written be-
fore these attacks were made, and
had therefore no reference to them.
But it fully meets the points made
by these sectional and partisan ut
terances.
THE SoUTH's GLORIOUS RECORD.
After referring to the Importance
of the study of American history
in schools and colleges and of es-
tablishing chairs devoted to that
subject, DR.. Jones calls attention
to the special claims of our nation
al history for consideration in the
South. The South, he points out,
has done more than any other sect
ion to make American history. The
first permanent English colony es-
tablished on this continent was at
jamestown, in Virginia. In the
Indian wars Virginia, the Caro-
linas, Maryland and Georgia bore
their full share. In the struggle
for independence Patrick Henry
led the first public and pronounced
opposition to the rule of Great
Britain in his resolutions against
the stamp act in the Virginia House
Of Burgesses and his famous burst
of patriotic eloquence. The first
blood of the Revolution was shed,
not at Lexington, Mass. but May
16, 1771, at Alamance, n. C. At
Charlotte, Mecklenburg county, N.
c., declaration of independence
was adopted on the goth of May,
1775 more than year before that
adopted by the Continental Con-
gress at Philadelphia. North Car
olina instructed her delegation to
move declaration of Independence
and accordingly Richard Henry
Lee, Of Virginia, made the motion
which resulted in the immortal
document which Thomas jefferson
wrote.
In the war which followed not
only did George Washington lead
the armies of the colonies, but off,
cial figures show that the Southern
colonies furnished q much larger
proportion of the troops who won
the independence of the country
than the Northern colonies. South.
ern statesmen were conspicuous in
formulating and having adopted
the constitution which. emanated
from the convention Of i7s7; Old
Virginia gave as free gift to the
Uuion her Northwestern territory,
out of which the States of Ohio, In.
diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis.
consin were afterward carved
North Carolina gave the territory
which afterward constituted the
State Of Tennessee, and Georgia do
mated what became the States ot
Alabama and Mississippi.
From the formation Of the Unior
to 1860 the South always led ir
the great events of American his
tory.

sentially flower loving people, and the
poorest Partisan workwoman cheerfully
exchanges one or two of her hard earn
ed sous for bright blossom for her
sewing table or packet of seeds for
the tiny window Of her modest apart
ment under the caves. Recalling these
facts in introduction to an illustrated
article OH the summer window garden.
The Standard Designer further remark =:
1t is somewhat Of q surprise to find
this same appreciation of the beauties
Of nature in the pblegmatic soul Of the
sturdy Briton, yet one has but to take
stroll through the narrow side streets
of London, with their interminable
rows of brick dwellings, to realize how
the aesthetic taste of the Englishman
has been belied. Scarcely house but
has its quota of flowers in the window.
In more aristocratic regions the floral
effects are really superb. Every house,
club and hotel contributes to the gener-
al display, and window and balcony are
alike ablaze with bloom.
Fortunately for its popularity, which
is slowly but surely increasing, even in
America, the window garden demands
no great amount of care when it is once
fairly started, though good deal Of
ingenuity and forethought is required
in its arrangement. The first essential
is properly constructed box, for upon
this the ultimate success of the whole
experiment depends, hence it will be
found most satisfactory in the long run
to intrust a competent carpenter, who
is accustomed to just such work, with
the making of the box.
The journal quoted portrays an inn.
provised bower with qunintly shaped
canopy, and particularly designed for a
sunny window. The box is filled with II
we'll chosen variety of inexpensive
blooms, umons which are included q
centerpiece of geranium, with its splen-
did pompons of vivid scarlet, root of
Nierembergia gracilis, with its dainty
lavender stars, and another of the ever
popular lobelia, with its myriad flowers
of rich, deep blue. Trained along a wire
to the canopy is the Humulus japonicus,
or variegated Japanese hop, whose dark
green foliage, marked delicately with
silver white, retains its beauty through
out the summer and into the autumn,

FIFTY-FlFTH CONGRESS,

WASHINGTON, July 3,-When the sem
ate met there was little evidence that
the close of the long and arduous tariff
debate was near at hand, with possi-
bility of the final vote late to-day. The
attendance in the galleries was no
greater than usual, and during the
opening hours there was considerably
less than a quorum.
The chaplain's prayer referred to the
anniversary of our nations birth, and
the profound significance of that event
in the civilization of the world,
The tariff bill was taken up, and Mr.
Allison presented three new amend
ments. not for immediate action, he
said, but in order that they might be
speedily printed, The first amend
ment provided bounty OF one quarter
of cent per pound on beet sugar made
from beets grown in the United States
from July 1898 to July 1908.
Mr.. Jones (Ark,) expressed surprise
that on the day which was hoped to be
the last of the tariff debate the com
mittee should bring in this far-reach-
ing amendment embodying one OF the
most radical departures made in cen
turv. Such experiments as had oeen
made in the line of bounty legislation
had proved disastrous, he said.
Mr. Allison explained that the
amendment was precise reproduction
of the bounty clause of the law OF lS9O'
except that it was confined to beet
sugars, and the rate was limited 10 one
fourth of cent pound.
"Of course. there is no use talking
about hurrying this proposition now'
said Mr.. Jones. There must be time
to look into it
Certainly responded Mr.. Alllson.
"There is no purpose to hurry IT,
Mr.. Allison further explained thai
the purpose of the amendment and the
onlv purpose, was to increase the pro
duction of sugar beets, and the making
Of sugar therefrom, as these bee's
could be grown as well in this country
as abroad.
Mr. Allen CNeb.) proposed an amend
ment specifically stating that the
bounty is to encourage the cultivation
of sugar beets'"
The amendment then went over tenn
porarily.
The senate completed the first read
inc Of the tariff bill, administrative
sections and all. The house section
nrohibiting the entry of all convict
made goods was agreed to, and many
others of the house administrative pro
visions were restored to the bill.
Mr.. Allison withdrew his amend
rrent for a bounty on beet sugar,
