TOOTHPICK HABIT.
So Prevalent in Chicago that 1t Affords
a Clue to Character.


C1ue to Character.
We have the drink habit. the card
playing habit, the tobacco habit-in
fact. habits innumerable, but there is
one habit of which little has been SAID,
although it is present among us. It
is the toothpick habit, and it is as
firmly rooted in those who have it as
any of the more Objectionable ones.
Observe a man coming down State
street early in the morning. He has
one of the little bits of wood in his
mouth. Now. here is where a little
character reading comes in. If he be
of quick, high strung, nervous tenn
permanent, in few minutes time be
will have chewed up one end of 1t
and turned the other end in his mouth
10 masticate. This end is also soon re-
duced to pulp and fresh toothpick
takes its place. He reaches his place
o! business or employment, but the
toothpick still sticks there, nor does
he have his mouth free of one until
his stock is entirely exhausted or he is
tired out. In the former case match
is resorted to or few toothDicks Dor
rowed from a neighbor. which he will
repay when he obtains fresh stock
at the restaurant where he eats his
luncheon.
Cool. phlegmatic persons will keep
a toothpick in their mouths for sew
eral hours. \ man of moody or trOu-
bcd mind will let his toothpick drop
listlessly downward; a man with his
mind intent on one thing will close
bis teeth on it and it will stick out
straight, while a happy go-lucky per-
son. or one with mind free from care.
will have his toothpick at an upward
angle, or constantly shifting about i'll
the mouth. l tell you. that habit is
Il great index to a mans thoughts and
characteristics.
l'he cashier of leading cafe, whose
desk is right where the box of tooth
picks is, says the habit is growing 10
such an extent rs to keep them busy
filing the box anew. And worst of
all" she remarked they seem unable
to break themselves Of the habit After
gazing furtively around, man will
grab up handful of toothpicks and
hastily thrust them III his vest pocket
