Pertaining to Pencils.

~ iii
a lead pencil should never be wet. 1t
hardens the lead and ruins the pencil.
This fact is known to newspaper men
and stenographers. But nearly every
n else does wet a pencil before using
it. This fact was definitely settled by
a newspaper clerk away down east.
Being of a mathematical turn of mind,
he ascertained by actual count, that of
fifty persons who came into an ofie to
write an adv, rtisement or church no.
tice, f%orty-nine wet a pencil in their
mouths before using it. Now this
clerk always uses the best pencils that
a be procured-in fact is a connois-
seur in lead pencils, cherishing a good
with something Of the pride u SOL
der feels in his gun or sword and it
hurts his feelings to have his pencil
spoiled. But p~oliteness and business
considerations required him to lend his
pencil scores of times every day. And
often, after it had been wet till it was
hard and brittle, and refused to mark,
his feelings would overpower him, and
he would go into a back room and say
over his Sunday-school lesson for five
minutes at a time. After he came out
it was frequently noticed that the air
OF that o was full of blue smoke
and smelled of sulphur. Finally he
got some cheap pencils and sharpened
them, and kept them to lend. The
first person who took up the stock PEN
Gil was a drayman, whose breath SMELL
ed of onions and whisky. He held the
point in his mouth and soaked it for
several minutes while he was torturing
himself in the effort to write an adver-
tisement for a missing bulldog. The
next was a granger, whose mouth over
flowed with tobacco juice, in streaks
down each side, and who wet the pencil
every time he wrote a word. Then a
sweet-looking young lady came into the
office, with kid gloves that buttoned the
whole length of her arms, and hung in
a row of buttons and button-holes half
a yard over her shoulders. She picked
up the same old pencil and pressed it to
her dainty lips preparatory to writing
an advertisement for a lost bracelet.
The clerk would have stayed her hand,
even at the risk of a box of the best
pencils ever faber-icated, but he was
too late. And thus that pencil passed
from mouth to mouth for a week. 1t
was sucked by people of all ranks and
stations, and all degrees of cleanliness
and uncleanliness. Finally the clerk,
who had now learned always to keep a
lending pencil with him, went to see a
friend who was just recovering from
typhoid fever, and who borrowed a pen-
Gil to write his Acknowledgements to kind
n%eighbors who had watched with him.
Next day that pencil went upon the
counter, attached to a pad of paper by a
string, and was in turn admitted to the
mouth of every caller. Alas, it had
absorbed the fatal typhoid germs, and
one by n those who sucked its poison
ed point were brought low by the cpl
demic. But we forbear. Surely no
one who reads this will ever again wet
a lead pencil Let it be a terrible
warning .-Denuer Times

British Mines.

Gold and silver are produced to some
extent in England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales. In 1873 the quantity of
silver obtained from British mines was
1897 ,474 ounces, and most of the pre-
cious metal was found in combination
with lead. The total value of silver
thus obtained in the year in question
was estimated at S450,000. In the
same year gold found in the British
mines weighed 702 ounces, 16 pwts., 8
grs., and was estimated to he of the
value of 81, 500. Nearly the whole of
this British gold-namely, a fraction
over 1876 ounces-was procured in
Wales, in the Clogan mine, in Merio-
nethshire. The balance of five thous.
and and a fraction a found near
Wicklow, in Ireland, IN sc! sounds of
ore. OF silver ore, about 94t tons were
found in Cornwall in the Huel, Prince
of Wales, and Redmoor mines, which
yielded silver to the value of $40, coo.
The richest argentiferous lead pres are
found in the Isle of Man, where the
1920 tons of lead ore procured from the
nine Manx mines yielded in 1878 as
much as 410,496 unc of pure silver.
In Wales, which possessed ninety-seven
lead mines in eleven counties, produced
11S, 629 oncos OF pure silver in the same
year, while IA, 800 ounces were got from
the lead ores produced in Scotland and
$3.50 ounces from those of Ireland.
The total quantity of British silver pro-
duced in the year was rather more than
eleven tons, and the value was nearly
$4,000 a ton. These facts will be
novel to most American readers.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
In tho present hard times. when all salaries have
been reduced and expenses rotrenchcd, 1t not little
singular that servants wages should still be hghf
Ono can generally get competent help by giving high
wages tbut not always them, but the momeut one
attempts to curtai their wages the servants leave;
and as for trying to engage new one for moderate
wages IL is almost impossible. Now, IL seems to me
IL there caterer in every town and village who
would supply meals at q moderate price he would
make u good living and tho relief TO bread winners
aud housokoepcrs would be immense. rhon ladies
OF limited MEANS who once accoms
plished, would have tho time and strength
to keep up their accomplishments ana 70
the over-taxed mothers. who can estimate what .
boon Il would be to them. One could then set .
better table with the pleasant assurance that 1t was

cook to pacify, with the thought ever in the
background of the cook giving warning To those
not able to give the present high wages there In no
alternative but incompetent help or giving up oui
homes and boarding. Could we. then. but hRva
caterers In towns aud villages ~ we'll rs our
cities TO supply meals. even IL their charges
little high, believe IL would be cheaper and moro
satisfactory than present system. by procuring

but no boat made its appearance Many
OF the people tired after waiting an hour,
and half went away, but those who deter

after seven before boat came. The last boat down
from Fort Lee. advertised to leave ut ten o'clock,
started fifteen minutes before her time. and
several others were board when she started. but
only by matter of chance. Whether any persons
left not do not know. During that day

pressed announced that he considered the man that

"But." said the reporter, "a portion of what he
states seems TO be true because other persons be-
sides himself have borne testimony TO the abuses
alleged"

"Is that all you can say on the subject p
"That is ALL, wns the reply, except this, that 10
