A REMNANT OF OLD NEWGATE.
Where Savage Torture Was Inflicted
in Ancient Times.
The most notorious pi.rt of the
whole structure and which yet re
main was the press yard. Here it
was that peine forte et dure was in
flicted upon prisoners charged with
felony who, with the view of saving
their property from confiscation, re
fused to plead at the bar. This dread
ful punishment of being pressed to
death was, however, abolished In
1772. A Major Strangways, who was
indicted for murder, having refused
to plead, was condemned to this sav-
I age peine forte et dure. He died in
eight minutes, and many of those who
witnessed the dreadful sight threw
stones at him to hasten his end.
New Universal Language.
"Esperanto," an artificial language
made by Dr. L. Zamenhof for a uni
versal language, has gained 80,000 ad
herents, among them members of the
French Institute, professors in conti
nental universities, Count Tolstoi and
V. T. Stead. Its object, as stated by
a writer In Le Monde Moderne, Paris,
Is: "To furnish people who need to
communicate with foreigners travel
ers, scientists and business men the
way to a mutual understanding with
out necesity of reporting to the study
of many foreign languages."
Patton and Peanuts.
Er. Patton was delivering a lecture
recently in his course on ethics at the
Princeton Theological seminary and
experienced much annoyance because
some of the students ate peanuts in
stead of attending to him. Finally he
administered this rebuke: "Gentlemen,
I have delayed starting the most im
portant part of to-day's lecture hoping
that the stock of peanuts would be
consumed and a restful quiet be re
stored. As the quantity seems ample
to meet the demands and the supply
appears inexhaustible, I feel con
strained to request that your appetites
be restrained until, the conclusion of
this lecture. I would be greatly
pleased if in the future anyone wish
ing to conduct a 5 o'clock tea in the
classroom would confine the refresh
ments to sponge cake."
Feels Younger and Stronger.
Festus, Mo., May 4th. Mr. January
S. Lilly, a highly respected old gentle
man, aged 76, and whose home is in
Festus, says:
"For many years I was failing in
health. My kidneys were weak and
gave me no end of trouble. I had
pains in my back and hip6 so bad that
I could not sit up straight without
bracing my back, and could not sit
only a few minutes in any one posi
tion. "I had to get up during every night
very frequently to relieve myself. "
"Our doctor said I had Kidney and
Bladder- Inflammation. I have suffer
ed for over five years in this way,
always worse at night.
"I could get no relief, and was get
ting worse till I used Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
"After I Lad used a few boxes of
this remedy I felt stronger and better
than I have for years and years. My
pains all left me and I can rest and
sleep.
"Every old man or woman who
feels as I felt should use Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and I am sure they will not
be disappointed. They brought me
out vonderfuJly."

TOSS OF T00T11TICKS
NUMBER MADE IS SIMPLY INCAL
CULABLE. -
Millions Upon Millions Turned Out
from American Factories Every Year
and Immense Importations Come
from Abroad Various Woods Used.
There is tint' article of manufacture
that is ust-d so extniv Iy in the Unit
ed States that no or.e has an idea of
the annual quantity ccneumed. name
ly, wooden toothpicks. According to
an expert the numbt-r is simply incal
culable. Millions upt:n millions jf the
tiny wooden slivers are turned out
e; t ry year f'orn American lactones
a!tne, and on ton of this trenifudous
output come importations from Por
tugal and Japan and other ct.untrie;;
nearly as larre as the domestic prod
uct. Most of the American toothpicks
conic from Franklin county, in Maine,
near the forest home of the white
birch, out of which 'J't per cent of the
domestic toothpicks are made. This
wood Is soft ami pliable and of admir
able resistance for the purpose for
which it is used. Whole mills in Maine
are devoted to supplying the country
with toothpicks, and in the industry is
to le found some of the finest and
most intricate of machinery. Sj tre
nie'idoiis is the output oi these ma
chines that in a brief season, during
the spring. ci!oui;li, toothpicks can be
made to supply the markets of the
entire ccuntry for the year to cciue.
A further idea of the capacity of
the machine.-? may be had from the
:'ac-t t liar only 10') men are necessary
to operate and run all t he mills in
Franklin county. Other mills of this
kind are scattered throughout Penn
sylvania and Massachusetts and west
ern New York, but the ital home of
the toothpick is Maine.
White birch is not the only wood
used for (ho domestic toothpick, maple
and poplar are employed as well, but
oirr-h has the property of retaining its
forest oder and sweetness.
The felling of toothpick trees is only
incidental to the regular lumber work
of the Maine foresters. . No especial
men are sent out to hunt up suitable
trees. Put whenever the foreman of
a pang of woodsmen ccmes across a
tree especially adapted to toothpicks
he orders it felled and laid aside. The
branches of the tree are then trimmed
and only the trunk itself is transported
to the mills. There the bark is skinned
and the naked trunk is run through a
macaina which severs in into veneers.
"Veneers" is the technical expres
sion for thin strips of wood no thicker
than a jdece of blotting paper and no
wider than the length of a toothpick.
Once the trunk has been cut into
these sheets of wood, only one process
remains to turn out the toothpicks
fit for packing and shipping to market.
The veneers are fed into a second
machine supplied wjth sharp, rotary
knives that whirl at tremendous high
speed, snipping the veneers into tooth
picks at the rate of hundreds of thous
ands an hour.
It is only the so-called "fancy"
toothpick that is net made in this
country. In Portugal, from where
most of the orange wood picks are im
ported,, the sticks are sharpened by
young girls, who, in return for turning
out "picks" are paid three cents a day.
The Japanese toothpicks are made
of fine reeds, and are distinct from
those sent to this country by the Por
tuguese manufacturers. A Japanese
toothpick is delicate ' and thin as tis
sue paper, and nevertheless strong
and pliable. The Japanese toothpick
maker earns even less than his Por
tuguese fellow-craftsman, his remuner
ation being but a fraction more than
two cents a clay. In short. 1,000 tooth
picks may be bought .in Japan for as
much as it costs only to pack and box
5.000 of American - make. New York
Times.
Not Deserving of Sympathy.
When we iiear of. some traveler
who has been impoverished by sharp
ers on an ocean steamer we feel rea
sonably sure that he broke into their
game expecting to rob them. Either
that or he is an Idiot pure and sim
ple. The case is obviously a case
of the biter bit. We waste no emo
tion upon these alleged victims." A
fool and his money are soon parted
why need we trov.ble ourselves as to
the details? Jt 13 a perfectly safe
assumption thai in nine cases out of
ten the fellow who loses his money
hoped and expected to get the better
of the others. He was not looking
for . congenial companionship, and
when the .would-be spoliator is des
poiled he appeals to no sense of pity
or indignation in the hearts of honest
and enlightened men. Nobody cares
whether he gets fleeced or not. No
body ought to care.

the bear idolators, who are found in

KNEW WHEN TO QUIT.
Judge Promptly Saw the Point In Pol
itician's Advice.
One of the most hospitable citizens
of Sioux Falls was Judge Fuller of
the Supreme Court. He was intro
duced to the president's attention
with the following incident of his
career:
The judges made a strong campaign
to get the legislature to raise their
salaries. The bill met with great op
position. Judge Fuller, who had no
small political influence,' went up to
Pierre to see about it. He was met
by one of the leaders of the party.
"How about this thing?" said the
judge.
"Judge," said the other politician,
gravely, "you better drop this salary
buslnes3. I tell you as a friend.' You
don't want it to go through. It Is not
in your interest."
"Why ain't it?"
"Don't you see, judge," explained
the politician, "that if we put the sal
aries of the judges up to the figure
you want, the people will turn around
and elect real lawyers to the bench."
The point of the story is that the
judge dropped the amendment at
once. New York Sun.
IN CONVENTION.
Teachers Learn Something Not in
the Class Books.
A number of young women attend
ing a teachers' convention at Okla
homa City some time ago learned a
valuable lesson in hygiene through a
sister teacher who says: "About a
year ago I had my first attack of poor
health and it seemed a terrible thing
to m for I had always been so well
and strong. My stomach, distressed
me terribly; it seemed like It was
raw, especially after breakfast, and
it would burn and hurt me so I could
not resL I was soon convinced that
it was caused by coffee drinking and
at the request of a friend I gave up
coffee and began to use Postum Cof

"The change In my condition was
something marvelous. I had actually
given up teaching "because doctors
were unable to help my stomach trou--
ble but since I quit coffee and used
Postum my troubles have disappear
ed and I have gone to teaching again.
"Some time ago I attended a con
vention at Oklahoma City and I de
termined to have " Postum at my
bcardlng-house where there Were
eight other teachers, four 'of them
suffering from coffee sickness. My
landlady did not make the Postum
right; but I showed her how and we
all found it delicious. We all drank
it the rest of the time we were there
and the young ladies in question felt
much better and declared that their
heads were much clearer for study

proved. I have their names if you'!

Had Missed Him.
When a shot was fired in the wing's
of an opera-house during the third
act of "Carmen" on Zelie de Lussan's
opening night in San Francisco a dis
appointed spectator, who considered
Tennery's Don Jose about "the limit,"
remarked with a figh of relief,
"Thank God." Those about him, who
shared his feelings, snickered sympa
thetically. Put , their smiles were
turned to peals of laughter when Don
Jose presently bobbed up serenely,
and the talkative wag exclaimed trag
