toothpicks are intended TO BIO and az

treme care must be exercised In plac-

have the grain run straight In the
strips. The yeneers are fed into a

Most Of the toothDicks made In

some OF the American manufacturers

are turned out at the same factories.
The best toothpicks made anywhere
In the world come from Portugal.
They are whitfield by hand from

TOOTHPICKS.
Not Millions but Billions Consumed
Annually.

In rolite society 1t Is considered
such a ser Gus breach Of good man
ners to use a 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 very small industry. AS a
matter Of fact, however, not millio IS
but billions OF them are annually used
in this country. The narrator. Il
course Is speaking now OF those Of
wooden make and not OF Quill tooth
picks. when there Is added to the
domestic use OF these dental imple-
ments the enormous number that II
imported investigation discloses the
fact that the Industry is really a 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 IL comparatively
small.
Ninety-fve Ter 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 a hundred persons
are employed In the industry In that
state. Outside Of the Pine Tree state
the principal factories are In Pennsyl-
yania, 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 5 a 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 a camp comes across a partlc-
uiarly fine white birch tree be orders
II cut down and the main part Of the
trunk laid aside 10 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 toothpicks
comes from a very small quantity o.
timber Ii shown by the fact that lot
more than 5000 cords Of wood are
used In this industry annually,

SCOTCH INDIANS.

Cherokees come well by their stub bornness, their shrewdness and their love of controversy. As Indians they had these traits to begin with. As the result of a strong infusion Of Scotch blood they added to the strength of the characteristics. It is Scotch history that after the battle of Culloden many Scotchmen left their native land rath- CT than accept English sovereignty. It is Cherokee history that numbers CT these sturdy Scots found homes and wives with the Cherokee Nation before the enforced migration of the tribe from Georgia to the Indian territory. John Ross as one of these Scotch ex- iles who accepted Cherokee citizenship. Ae became a chief, and was given the name Of "Coc-is-coo-ee. When the nation moved to the territory one Of the districts into which the reservation was divided for government purposes was named "Coo-is-co0-ee. Ross founded 6 family which became power- full in Cherokee councils. He and his sen were frequent visitors to Washing ton, and had much to do wioh the treaty making which gave to the na- li0n the trong legal position it holds in it's relation with the United States. A descendant of Ross, the Scotch exile, is one of the officers Of the nation to- day The Adairs are another influen- tial Cherokee clan established by a Scotchman who came over after the
