The English walking hat Of this year as
sketched on one of the most fashionable
women of New York, is high rolling on
both sides and very pointed front ana
back The woman who wore the hat has
by no means a pretty face. Her face IS
too broad and her features are too large,
vet the hat somehow gave her head the
small trim look of statue.
This English walking hat was trimmed
with snow balls on each side. The snow
balls were banked in the front and set up
high in the back until the hat seemed
covered with them.
The hat itself was of reseda green chip
trimmed with green ribbons that peeped
out from the punches of show balls.

PLACE DISHES OF WATER.

In country town not far from the
purlieus of Beacon street, lives dur
ing the summer a certain humane
Bostonian. It has long been his habit
to have placed near the entrance to
his grounds a large vessel which is
nI-od with fresh water twice a day.
Many are the dogs that roam along
the lovely road, and rarely does one
go by without taking a few APPS
of water. At times birds, seen
hopping in the grass, will edge
along until they believe no one
is in view, and then they
will plunge into the vessel, splashing
the water about until some carriage
or passer-by disturbs them. Doubtless
there are many people who have gar
dens and grounds, even though they
are without pets of any sort, and it
would be an act of charity for them
to follow this mans example.
Everybody cannot afford fountain,
but nearly every one with lawns to
keep fresh and green does afford a
lawn sprayer, and Il grass must drink,
how much more necessary must water
be to dumb creatures dependent on
human foresight for their safety and
ell-being-Boston Herald.

When the logs reach the factory
they are first stripped of their bark.
They are then placed on trucks, NOV
ing on rails and pushed to the All
tomato machines by which they are
cut into veneers, which are thin strips
of wood of about the dimensions Of an
ordinary piece of blotting paper-that
is, the strips are about as thick as the
toothpicks are intended to be and as
wide as the picks will be long. Elk
IRENE care must be exercised in plac-
ing the logs in the machines so as TO
have the grain run straight in the
strips. The veneers are fed into a
machine composed of peculiarly
shaped and rapidly revolving knives,
the edges of which are as sharp as
they can be made. This machine
works automatically and with ire
mendous speed, and is so constructed
that the finished picks come forth
sharpened at both ends at the rate of
tens of thousands an hour. 1t re-
Quires only a few weeks for the fac
tories to turn out supply sufficient
to meet the demand for a whole year.
Then the factories are shut down
again, to remain closed until the fol-
lowing spring. The wages paid to
American workers in this industry
range from $3.50 to $3.50 day.
Most of the toothpicks made N
Maine come from timber that has Deen
seasoned in the open air, and retain
something of the natural sweetness of
the birch and maple and are soft and
pliable while retaining sufficient firm
ness. Kiln-dried wood is apt to result
in too much brittleness, causing sharp
splinters to break off which injlre
the enamel of the teeth. Recently
some of the American manufacturers
have been putting up toothpicks in
miniature barrels highly ornamented
by carving or hand-painting. These
are turned out at the same factories.
The best toothpicks made anywhere
in the world come from Portugal.
They are whitfield by hand from
orangewood splints by peasant girls,
the only tools used being an ordinary
jackknife. These picks are as smooth
as ivory and will not break into
splinters. They are expensive. Only
one hotel in Philadelphia supplies
them. The girls who make the picks
receive less than ten cents a day AS
the duty on the foreign-made picks IS
only So per cent. they can be sold here
for less than picks of similar quality
could be manufactured in this country,
despite the improved American ma
chinery and skilled labor The profit
on American picks is almost exclu-

awarded will be $500 for the first, 5000
for the second and $500 for third, and
these only in the trotting horse

unable to get any return.

s1Vely on the cheaper products. Some
Of the Portuguese picks are highly or
namented with hand-carving. They
are too expensive for ordinary COM
merce. Small quantities have been
imported into this country on rare oc-
caslons for use at notable banuuets,
or as unique specimens of handicraft.
Next to Portugal, Japan sends the
greatest supply of toothpicks to the
United States. These are made by
hand from fine reeds. They, too, are
sold in close competition with the
American product, owing to the cheap
labor in Japan. The cases in which
the Japanese picks are inclosed are
fine specimens of skill with the jack
knife. They are of wood, cut into
strips as thin and delicate as tissue
paper, but very strong. The cases are
ornamented with hand-painted Japan
csc scenes and are of a size convenient
to be carried in the vest pocket. The
competition between the Japanese and
Portuguese makers on the one size
and American manufacturers on the
other has become very keen. An I'M
porter of toothpicks said recently that
the Japanese picks can be made and
sold in the American market, cases
and all, for less than the cost of the
paper boxes that contain the domestic
picks.
Some of our far western friends
have more expensive toothpicks than
any of those mentioned. Some folks
call them bowie knives.

TOOTHPICKS.
Not Millions but Billions Consumed
Annually.

In polite society it is considered
such a ser GUS breach of good man
ners to use toothpick Before others,
that naturally one would imagine that
the use of these some time accessories
to the table is rather limited and that
their manufacture and sale must rep
resent a very small industry. AS
matter of fact, however, not millions
but billions of them are annually used
in this country. The narrator, If
course is speaking now of those Of
wooden make and not of quill tooth
picks. Wnen there is added to che
domestic use of these dental nipple
ments the enormous number that IS
imported investigation disclOses the
fact that the industry is really vast
one and has reached such proportions
that at last American ingenuity has
found recourse to the invention Of au-
tomato machinery for the rapid and
economical production of these thin
splinters Of wood. For this reason
the number of persons employed in
the manufacture is comparatively
small.
Ninety-fve Der cent. of all the
toothpicks made in the United States
are formed from white birch timber
in Franklin county, Maine, and yet
scarcely more than hundred persons
are employed in the industry in that
state. Outside of the Pine Tree state
the principal factories are in Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts and Western
New York Maple and poplar are
sometimes used in the manufacture of
American toothpicks, but white birch
is the standard timber in all the fac
tories The industry is very simple
one. First, of course, comes the work
of the foresters. In the woods of
Maine every winter there are great
camps of lumbermen engaged in fell
ing and hauling out timber for various
commercial uses. Whenever the fore
man of camp comes across a partlc-
ularly fine white birch tree he orders
it cut down and the main part of the
trunk laid aside to be reserved for the
toothpick factories. When enough
logs have been obtained they are sent
to the boom nearest the factory,
whence they are hauled by teams.
That the vast supply of toOthplcks
comes from a very small quantity Of
timber is shown by the fact that not
more than 5000 cords of wood are
used in this industry annually.
