ANCIENT T%00THPICks.

They Used to Be Made Of Silver and
Were Worn In the Hat.
The employment of %toothpicks is very
ancient. In Grote's History of Greece"
we find that .AyathocleS. among the
worst OF Greeks was poisoned by Il
medicated Quill handed TO him for
cleaning his teeth after dinner.
T%oothpicks were in commo use in
the time of the Caesars. Martial tells
rs those made of Il chip Of mastic wood
dentiScn>| are the best, but that if you
run short of such timber Il quill will
serve your purpose. and he ridicules an
old fop who was in the habit of dig
ging away ut his gums with his polish
ed lentiscuS. though he had not n tooth
left in his head.
Toothpicks occur early of silver, but
pieces of wood or OF feathers with a
rcd end as quilts in our day We're most
usual. The toothpick is the Anglo-Sax-
on tothgarc. The old name was pick
tooth. 1t was imported by travellers
from Italy and France. and the using
mark OF genliiity. 1t was worn IT'S Il
trophy in the hat, and Sir Thomas
Overbury describes Il courticr, the pink
OF fashion. with II picktooth in his
hat"

His picktooth bears Il great part in
his discourse" London Telegraph.
