ern swamps some time ago. when he
cut down a reed. which he used for

he cut of n chip from the end OF
the reed and used II for a tooth
pick.
He noticed that the chip was hard
and durable. and yet pllable and for the
purpose. was much better than the
article commonly on sale. Acting on
the suggestion, he has designed an
automatic machine which makes an
excellent grade OF toothpicks from the
reeds In the southern swamps. A
factory has been built at Bowers Hill

business inaugurated.
A reed is cut into suitable lengths

made to split the tubular reed into
pieces the size of a toothpick. BE
fore splitting the ends the tubular
sections OF the reed are reamed out
by tapering reamers, which remove
the plth or soft interior. so that the
splitting forms toothpicks with taper

THOUGHT SOAP WAS EDIBLE.
Thieving whisky Jacks" Disappoint
ed In a Meal.

These birds are about the size and
color OF the catbird, but have longer
tails. | never saw wild birds so saucy
as these, says a writer in Forest and
Stream. No sooner was our camp
pitched than these birds began TO
congregate in the treetops and pan
mischief The moment anything was
exposed that they thought was eatable
they would grab 1t and be of in a
twinkle. They would eat, or try to
eat, anything from meat, sugar or pan
cakes to a bar OF soap. We used tar
soap, and for the purpose it was orig
inally intended It was a great success,
but as an article Of diet | should not
consider the flavor quite up to other
dainties. Nevertheless, we kept miss.
ing our soap. One would then ask the
other:
Have you really reformed and gone
to using soap?"
mot guilty." would be the an
swer.
Then, after speech, we would find
the soap some distance down the
slope, all pecked and clawed by the
whisky jacks" Possibly they did it
to take the taste OF my cookery out of
their mouths.

False propne, BROUGHT Death.

Just before the opening of the Kaffir
rebellion in South Africa, so years ago,
the soothsayers babe the tribes kill
their cattle and destroy their crops of
grain. The spirits OF their ancestors
were to arise and help them to ex.
terminate every white man In the
country. The advice was solemnly ac-
cepted. When the day Of the great up
rising arrived many of the rebels
were already starving. But there
came no ghostly herds of cattle out
of the earth, no crops not sown with
hands. Grim, terrible famine swept
over the land. and in the months
which followed. although the author
tiles did everything in their power to
mitigate its horrors, 10000 victims OF
a false prophet starved to death.

WOOD RAT TYPIFIEs MAN.
In His Easerness to Increase Size Of
His "Pile."

Too many Americans have the
wood rat Instinct" says the Mon
treal Star. The wood rat. the animal.
Is native OF southern Oregon. but
the wood rat typined In man Is not
restricted to any small section Of a
state or nation, but is we!lnlgh uni
versal.
The wood rat is small. no larger
than a common rat. but his ambition
and acqulsltiveness are Unsuitable.
His one insane desire seems to be to
increase the size Of his pile Of sticks.
The neighboring field Is placed under
tribute. First all the nearby sticks
are gathered into the pile. Then. as
these are cleaned up. he goes further
and further away from home. and
every twlg is eagerly seized upon to
increase the size OF his pile OF sticks.
The wood rat regards his pile OF
sticks as a refuge In time OF trouble.
On the first sound OF alarm he rushes
to the pile and crswls underneath. 1t
Is here that he often finds his de-
struction. for summer fire some
times sweeps through the woods. and
the wood rats pile OF sticks make a
veritable furnace. The larger the pile
the hotter the fire, and thus he has
piled up the means OF his own agony.

BIRDS THAT CAN TALK.
Species with Thick, Rounded Tongues
Are the Best.

People used to think that It was nee
essary to cut the nerve of birds
tongues In order to make takers OF
them. But II is well understood now
that such cruelty is quite unnecessary.
The raven on account OF the size Of
Its tongue, can articulate words quite
well. Ravens and jays (which repeat
single words after people, are favorite
pets with the peasants of the Thur
ingian forests in Germany.
In order to speak distinctly birds
must have thick. rounded tongues, and
the muscle must be loose. Parrots
tongues answer these requirements
best hence they are the best takers.
Next to them come ravens, jackdaws
and jays. The hooded crow and the
carrion crow can also be taught to
speak.
The red and blue macaw Is the finest
and most expensive variety of talking
parrot, as well as one of the largest
varieties.

Gillette Msrder Trial Opens.

HERKIMER, n. Y. Nov. l2.-The
trial OF Chester Gillette OF Cortland,
n. Y. charged with the murder of his
sweetheart, Grace Brown, opened here
today. The circumstances surrounding
the death OF the girl were mysterious,
and the manner In which she was kill,
cd has never been cleared up entirely.
From what can be learned 1t appears
that when she left home at Cortland
she met Gillette and went with him to
Big Moose, in the Adlrondscks They
registered at hotel and then hired
boat. They did not return to the hotel
that night, and the next day their boat
was found upturned In the water, and
on the bottom Of the lake not far from
the boat the girls body was seen and
recovered. Gillette was arrested at
the Arrowhead hotel at Inlet.

The japanese Soldier.

The Japanese soldier is more like
the soldier of julius Caesar than the
world has seen since Rome fell. The
authorities in Japan are not troubled
by dissatisfied members of the army
writing home imaginary grievances.
The Japanese soldier is allowed to
send nothing home in the way of mail
but card, containing no information
save that he is we'll He is not al
lowed to tell where he Is. He sub
merges his personality below his char
acter as fighting citizen. He is a
unit In a great whole. He has no feel
ings for self. He is soldier of Japan.
And yet he is humane and not cruel.
This was not said of the Roman sol
der. The little brown man is the
marvel of the twentieth century.

Worm Deserved Its Fate.

Miss Marie Shedlock is famous for
the invention OF a new and delight
full type of children's entertainment.
Dressed as fairy, Miss Shedlock re-
counts to children with delicacy and
power the lovely tales Of Hans An.

her in her entertainments, and chill
dren, no matter how odd their ques-
tons may be, can never stump her.
She is always ready with an apt re

Entertaining children's party at
certain millionaire's house in New

ploy the old proverb: THE early bird
catches the worm" A little boy
questioned the proverb promptly.
But wasn't the worm foolish, he
asked, ito get up early and be
caught?'

Warren Identified Himself.

Probably no actor ever achieved as
great local popularity as was enjoyed
by William Warren in the old Boston
Museum days.
One afternoon, some 80 years ago,
he was stroling along fremont street,
Boston, when he was espied among
the crowd by a young woman, who
turned to friend with whom she was
walking and said excitedly: There
goes William Warren"
The friend turned quickly, saying:
"Where?"
A figure In the crowd turned abrupt
", and Warren's voice answered:
Fright here much to the chagrin of
both women.

New Idea In Railroadlna.

1t is proposed by German engineer
to use balloons for railway purposes.
A stationary balloon is fixed to slide
running along single steel rail. This
rail is carried up the side of steep
mountain. The balloon is moored by
a steel cable to the rail, at height of
about 35 feet above the ground. The
conductor can cause the balloon to
ascend or descend at will. The lifting
power is furnished by hydrogen gas.
and the descent is caused by water
pressure poured into a large tank at
the upper end Of the road.

 If American manufacturers desire to enter thls field they must of necessity conform to local conditions There Is no doubt that a serious effort to obtain a large share of the Levantine trade h prints would be attended with sue cess If made earnestly and persistently. A competent representative of Amer'- can cotton textile interests, once estab- lished h such a distributing center as SmyrnA, could master in few months the details of the trade and organize an effective campaign.
 To make sure of success stocks should be sufficiently large so that or ders can be filled promptly. One of the chief drawbacks to American trade h cotton textiles Is the delay and uncer- tainty in the execution of orders sent from Turkey. In the case Of textiles the establishment of a distributing cen ter h the Leyant itself Is a most lm- portant factor in deciding the question of ultimate success. Ii Is practically impossible 10 win a market in Aslatic Turkey for articles involving close com- petition unless the three factors of per sonal representation, quick delivery and facilities in payment are combined.
 The success achieved In the intro- duction into Turkey of American sew ing machines. agricultural implements and a few other wares has been due chiefly to the union of these factors in the campaign.
