Ho'o to make Pencil Writ 9 Ldelible.
A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker
gives the following information, which may
prove serviceable to some of our readers:
A great many valuable letters and other
writings are written in pencil. This is
particularly the case with the letters our
brave soldiers send home from the army
The following simple process will make
lead pencil writing or drawing as indelible
as if done with ink: : Lay the writing in
shallow dish and pour skinned milk
upon it. Any spots not wet at first may
have the milk placed upon them lightly
with a feather. When the paper is all
wet over with the milk take it up and let it
dry off; brush off with feather the drops
which collected on the lower edge Dry
it carefully, and will be found to be per-
tectly indelibe. 1t can not be removed
even with India rubber. 1t is an old re-
ceipt, and good one.

Death Of Admiral Dupont.

The death Of Rear Admiral Samuel Fran
els Dupont is announced He was born ut
Bergen Point, N. j., Sept 27, 1905, and was
therefore nearly siSty-two years of age. HIS
grandfather and father emigrated from France
inl799. He was commissioned a Midship-
man at the age of twelve years, and in 1877
sailed on his first cruise under Com. Stewart
During the Mexican war he did good service
on the Pacific coast with bis frigate, the Con-
gress. IN February, 'ls4s, he landed at San
Jose with a force of one hundred marines and
sailors and defeated a force Of five times that
number of Mexicans From 1856 to 1858 he
cruised in the China waters, and in January,
1861, was placed in command of the ,Phila
delphia Navy Yard. In the ensuing summer
he was entrusted with the fitting out of ma.
val expedition against Port Royal, S G.. The
capture Of this important point, on the 7th
ofNovember following, was one Of the most
brilliant naval triumphs Of the war. His
subsequent history has been so thoroughly
identified with that Of the war that we need
not recapitulate it In August, 1862, he was
appointed one Of the nine Rear Admirals on
the active list A brave and skillful officer,
the country will not speedily forget his ser
vices in the suppression of thst rebellion the

The English style Of classifying the two
belligerents in our civil war as Federal and
Confederate, implying that they were both Of
the same character, has been meekly adopted
by many who knew no better. Not so Capt
Boggs, of the U. s. steamer Connecticut, who
recently stopped at the port of St George
Bermuda. The following is related:

lands she was treated with respect and court
esy. On arriving at St. Georges, Bermuda

cular from her Majesty, ordering all rebel Or

next morning a little gunboat camcu up and re-
quested Capt Boggs to 60 down and call on
the Governor. On arriving at his mansion
he Immediately took the Captain to task for
having dsobeyed his orders, and asked if he
did not see the circular from the Queen.
"Yes," replied Captain Boggs; Il saw a
circular from you, directing that all Federal
or Confederate vessels Of war should be an
chored in a certain spot but as am in com.
mand of neither of them, took the liberty to
use my own discretion.

Whereon is writ in words of gold:
Come, enter--tis the Savior's fold.

yron trade of Lake Superior.

The first shipment Of iron ore from Lake
Superior was made in 1855 previous to which
the business OF mining had been carried on
more as an experiment than as an industrial
pursuit. That the mining and manufacture
of this metal have since then wonderfully in
creased will be seen by the following figures:
The expectation Of ore and metal in 1854
was 235, 1913 tons as against ,447 tons in
1885 and 1885, ,257 in 1863. The amount Of
charcoal pig-iron shipped last year was 49,
1872 tons.
The year 1858 witnessed the first attempts
at reducing ores in the district There are
now six companies established for this pur-
pose and others are about to commence oper-
ations, The product of the furnaces of the
district last year amounted to l3, ,633 tons, as
against ,627 in 1858, and 9,3l3 in 1868, the
value Of which at the prices prevailing in the
respective years was, for 1853 4O,675; for
1868, S4l90S5, and for 1854 SS99, ,0SO This
last named sum, added to the value of the ore
for last year, which, at IS ton, was $l,SSl,-

ing the value Of the iron business Of the Lake
Superior District for the year 1864. Alto

that the iron business in this region is really
