THE TOOTHPIcK INDUSTRY.
One County in Maine Supplies Ninety
Per Cent. of the Product
Used in America.

"The fame of American manufacturers
may be said to be in everybody's mouth"
said the representative Of a Maine tooth
pick factory. up in Maine, and partic-
ularly in Franklin county's wide
stretches of white birch, are the mills
that supply 80 per cent. of the toothpicks
used in this country.
Poplar wood is sometimes used; but
the white birch. on account of its pliabil-
ity and forest odor, gives a practical
monopoly to Maine forests. During the
spring over 100 men are employed on
machines each of which can clip out al
most a million a day of the sharp
wooden slivers that help to keep down
dentists bills.
What are termed the fancy or orange
wood toothpicks are not made in this
country, nor could We duplicate them at
four times the price. In the country dis
tricts of Spain and Portugal these picks
are sharpened like needles and smoothed
l%aboriously by young girls who are paid
the munifcent sum of five cents a day.
The Japanese ~toothpick is probably
the best and is in increasing demand.
This toothpick is fashioned from very
fine reed; and, while delicate and thin
as tissue paper, it is stronger and more
pliable than our clumsy product.
MY experience teaches that the
American habit Of chewing a t~oothpick
on the street and elsewhere is decadent.
However, without this gratuitous adver-

nails pointing the same way on both
poles. Get a thin lath or slender stick,
long enough to reach between the posts
and light enough to rest on the nails.
Now climb up to the limb of the tree
and tie your rope in place on the Dough,
Just over the center of the posts. The
rope should reach to within two feet of
the ground.
Now stand a few feet away from the
crosspiece, swing yourself toward it,
pull yourself up the rope as high as you
can. feet first, If you know how to do the
trick, and swing yourself over the cross
niece as the picture shows.
1t is easy enough. as you will find
when you try it. but to make a vault
seven of eight feet high-well, that is
another matter.
The secret of high rope vaulting Is to
grasp the rope as far from the ground as
possible, throw your body backward,
raise your feet till they point nearly
straight up. and as you swing toward the
c~rosspiece pull on the rope, lifting your
whole body. You can pass over the
crosspieoe at astonishing heights by his
means and you and your friends will find
rope yaulting an exciting and healthful

but have you ever heard of rope vault

All you really need is a good stout
rope, a tree limb to hang 1t to, and some
thing to jump over. but it is very much
more fun to do it exactly right.
Get two boards or strips of boards,
abou. eight feet high. On one side
of each of these drive small nails a little
way into the wood, about an inch apart,
leaving the head and about half the nail
sticking out. Leave two feet of one end
of your pole or strip of wood free from
nails.
With a sharp stake make two holes
in the ground beneath the tree limb that
is to hold your rope. Make these holes
about six feet apart and about IS inches
deep. Now put your posts into the holes
and drive them firmly in place with the
