IN the early Autumn of last year the Rev.
Washington GLADDEN., of Shringfeld,
Mass, sent the following note to 100 Of
the representative business and profess
sional men of this city 81 desire to find
out for the benefit of the boys, how the
leading men of that city spent their boy
hood. Will you be be kind enough to tell
me: 1) whether your home during the
first fifteen years of your life was on
farm, in village, or in city: and (2)
whether you were accustomed, during
part of that period, to engage in any kind
of work when you were not at schoelT
Out of the 100 persons who received the
notes, eighty-eight answered the ques-
tions, and Mr.. GLADDEN. was so much
pleased with his success that he embodied
their reports in lecture, which he deliv-
cred before a large audience in one of
the city churches. 1t appears that OF the
eighty-eight sixty-four were brought up
on farms and were farmers sons, twelve in
villages and towns, and twelve in cities.
OF the twenty-fou who lived in villages
and towns, one-quarter were accustomed
to do farmwork. 1t is proper to say,
therefore. that of these lightweight Of
the wealthiest and most prominent and
useful citizens Of Springfield, seventy
were trained in their youth upon farms.
Of the eighteen boys who lived in cites
and villages, five of them report that
they had no work to do, while the rest
were sons ofpeople in ratherpoor circum-
stances and were accustomed to do
all sorts of work up to the time they
left the paternal roof To sum
eld, eignty-three were hard workers in
their younger days, while only five had

another, while the singing of 'war-songs'
by "Hallelujah lasses" is enough to star
tie any one. The movement, however, in
spite of it's peculiar features, has a very
serious meaning by the very fact of it's
popularity and success. 1t indicates
clearly that, in spite of all that has been
done by various denominations to reach
the poor and lowly, there are still hun
dreds of thousands of people among the
lower classes who have longings for better
life and character enough to give up bad
habits that have been lifelong, yet who
have not been found by the workers for
the churches. Something novel of this
kind may, and often does, reach thous-
ands that no church organization can
reach.

ing quotient consists of two prime fac
tors, II and 10. 1t reads the same both
ways. If IS be set under 81 and the two
added the sum is %. If the IS be re-
versed and then added to 81, the sum is
1862, the sum of the digits of which is Q.
The sum is also divisible by 0, giving Il

by 8. If the 81 be reversed and added
to Is the sum is S6, which is also divisi-

Add the following considerations be-

a brother of the Rev. DR.. Bacon, of New

Transporting at the federal metropolis than
can be obtained by those who wade
through the masses of verbiage now
wired from there-many newspaper pro-
prietors evidently priding themselves on
the amount of their telegraph bills rather
than on the accuracy or interest Of the
information transmitted.
A newcomer among the correspond
ents during the Harrison administration
was Mr.. Nathan Sargent, whose CORE
spondence to the Philadelphia United
States Gazette, over the signature of
''Oliver Oldschool," soon became noted.
His carefully written letters gave con-
tinuous narrative of all important events
as they occurred at the national metropo-
lis, and he was one Of those who aided
in making the Wing party, like the Fed
eral party which had preceded it, emil
nently respectable.
Washington correspondents, up to this
time, had been the mediums through
which large portion of the citizens of
the United States obtained their infor-
nation concerning what TRANSFERRED at
the seat of national government, while
the only reports of the debates in Con-
gress were those which appeared in the
Washington newspapers, often several
weeks after their delivery. Mr.. James
Gordon Bennett, the enterprising pro-
prietor of the New York Herald, after
publishing President Harrison's call for
an extra session of Congress in advance
of his contemporaries, determined to
have the proceedings and debates report
ed for and promptly published in his own
columns. To superintend the reporting,
he engaged Robert Sutton, who organ
lied corps of photographers which was
the nucleus of the present organization
of official reporters of the debates. SUIT
ton was short, stout pragmatical Eng
lishman, whose desire to obtain extra
allowances prompted him to revise, cor
rect, and polish up reports which should
have been verbatim, and thus to take the
initiative in depriving the official reports
of debates of a large share of their value
Since then, Senators and Representatives
address their constituents through the
reports, instead of debating questions
among themselves.

WETTING LEAD PENCILS.

The act of putting lead pencil to the
tongue, to wet it just before writing,
which we notice in SO many people, is
one of the oddities of which it is hard TO
give any reason-unless it began in the
days when lead pencils were poorer than
now, and was continued by example into
the next generation.
A lead pencil should never be wet. 1t
hardens the lead and ruins the pencil
The fact is known to newspaper men and
stenographers. But nearly every one else
does wet a pencil before using it. The
fact was definitely settled by newspaper
clerk away down East.
Being mathematical turn Of the mind
he ascertained by a count of 80 persons
who came into his Office to write an adj
vertisement or church notice, 40 wet a
pencil in their mouths before using it.
Now the clerk always uses the best
pencils, cherishing a good one with some
gun OF sword, and it hurts his feelings to
have his pencil spoiled. But politenesS
and business considerations require 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.
Finally he got some cheap pencils and
sharpened them, and kept them to lend
The first who took up the stock pencil
was drayman, whose breath smelt 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 advertisement
for missing bulldog.
Then a sweet-looking young lady came
into the office, with kid gloves that but
toned half way up her arm. She picked
up the same old pencil and pressed it to
her dainty lips preparatory to writing an
advertisement for lost bracelet. The
clerk would have stayed her hand even
at the risk of the best Faber catered, but
he was too late.
And thus that pencil passed from mouth
to mouth for week. 1t was sucked by
people of all ranks and stations, and all
degrees of cleanliness and uncleanliness.
But we forbear. Surely no one who reads
this will ever again wet 4 lead pencil.
