ANCIENT T0OTHPICKS.
They Used to BE Made Of Silver and
Wsrs Worn In the Hat.


The employment OF toothpicks Is very
ancient. In Grote's History of Greece"
we find that AgathOcies, among the
worst Of Greeks" was poisoned by a
medicated quill handed to him for
cleaning his teeth after dinner.
ToothpIcks were In common use in
the time OF the Caesars. Martial tells
US those made Of chip of mastic wood
Oentiscus) are the best. but that If you
run short OF such timber quill will
serve your purpose, and he ridicules an
old fop who was In the habit Of dig
cling away at his gums with his polish
ed lentiscus, though he had not tooth
left in his head.
Toothpicks occur early of silver, but
pieces Of wood or Of feathers with a
red end as quilts in our day were most
usual The toothpick IL the Anglo-Sax-
on tothgare. The old name was pick
tooth. 1t was imported by travellers
from Italy and France, and the using
Of 1t was long deemed an affected
mark Of gentility. 1t was worn as a
trophy in the hat, and Sir Thomas
Overbury describes a courtier, the pink

SO unused the poet, John Greenleaf
Whittier, and poets have way of
putting great kernel thoughts in strik-
ing language. Another poet, who lived
many years ago, had the same idea
when he said it was not possible to
hide from the presence of God. in
earth or heaven or hell. We no long
er think of God as one who would de-
hight In our punishment, but as a kind
Heavenly who doth not win that any
should perish, but that all should
come to eternal life
There is only one way to be separat-
ed from Him. In the language of the
Prophet: "Your sins have separated
between you and your God. !" Another
consequence of disobedieuce is pun
ishment. We know this to be true in
the natural world. Many have colds
because they have transgressed ma
lures laws. They must seek to help
the body overcome by applying ma
lures treatment. We must get the
system in good running order, eat and
sleep sufficient, live in the fresh air
as much as possible. We are here
speaking of the body, and of this life.
When we enter the realm of the deal
ing of man and God, we have the I'M
seen factor, the spirit (pneuma). This
has the quality not being destructible.
1t is that unseen and yet very real
part of man. Our spirits are our real
selves; but at the same time we must
not forget that the conduct or daily
manner of living largely influences
the inner life, character, or soul of
every individual. That imperishable
principle st. Paul speaks of, when he
say, "W hatsOever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap" applies to our
soul, as well as to our body.
There is only one way to purify the
soul. TWAS long time before a rem

and the man who discovered that par
afine was the long-looked-fOr remedy,
did a lasting service to humanity.
Christ seemed long time coming to
the faithful in Israel who watched on
the hills of Palestine, but at the time
appointed, He was announced by the
angels song. No man could do what
He did, make atonement man to God.

One of the largest construction com

them In the water at the Boston navy

At high tide the water almost entire
