A Horrible Story.

The act of putting a lead pencil to
the tongue to wet just before writing,
which we notice in SO many people, is
one of the oddities for which it is hard
to give any reason, unless it began in
the days when pencils were poorer than
now, and was continued by example to
the next generation. 'e'
A lead pencil should never be wet.
It hardens the lead and ruins the pen
Gil. This fact is known to newspaper
men and stenographers. But nearly
every one else vets "a pencil before u.s.
ing it.
This fact was definitely settled by a
newspaper clerk way down east.
Bling of mathematical turn of
mind, he ascertained by. actual count
that, of fifty persons who came into his
office to write al advertisement or q
church notice, forty nine wet pencil
in their mouths before using it. Now
this clerk always uses the best pencils,
cherishing good one with something
of the pride soldier feels in his gun
or sword, and it hurts his feelings to
have his pencil spoiled. But politeness
and business consideration require him
to lend his pencil scores of times a day
and often, after it was hard and brit
tie 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 person who took up
the stock pencil was a drayman whose
breath smelled 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 d missing
bull dog.
Then sweet looking young lady
came into the Office, with kid gloves
that buttoned half the length of her
arm. She picked up the same old PEN
Gil 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 box of the best Faber pencils, but
he was too late.
And thus that pencil passed from
mouth to mouth for q week. 1t was
sucked by people of all ranks and sta
tons, and all degrees of cleanliness
and uncleanliness. But We forbear.
Surely no one who reads this will ever
again wet pencil.-LOuiSUille Com

Some Good DOn'ts.

Don't get in debt when you can not
see your way out again; when you owe,
pay as fast as you can, and promptly.
Don't enlarge your farm when half OF
what you now own is not cultivated.
| Don't borrow if you own more land
than you can till well. If you are in
debt or need funds to make necessary
improvements, sell part of your farm
and use the money to pay your debts,
and make improvements Systematically
as your means permit.
Don't borrow money to build a snowy
house whom less pretentious one
would answer better, and never lend
money when you have undrained or
poorly titled land to improve.
Don't speculate with other peoples
money, nor your own, unless you see
clearly that you will make profit; and
even then do not do it to the neglect of
your own farming. .,,.,
Don't mortgage your farm for money
to buy goods. Very few men can enter
the merchandise business without train
ing for it and not become bankrupt.
Don't buy fancy stock at fabulous
prices on the spur of the moment, or
without knowing why you want it and
how you are to make the investment
profitable. a..r .. .n...l
Don't keep poor stock when you can
keep good at the same expense, and
with four times the profit. j.. Ir ~
Don't change your kind of farming
because what you raise this year is low
priced; ten chances to one your crop
will be up next year, and that which is
up now will then be down.
Don't try to grow crops to which
your farm is not we'll adapted.
If you have good location do not
sell out, expecting to better it, because
you are offered a good price.
Don't exchange farms often, for by
so doing you can execute no definite
form of improvement. '.l
Don't begin to improve till you have
a general plan of what you wish to do;
to do so would be like commencing to
get out timbers for house before you
know it's length and breadth. Farm

footed animal. A boy is a kind of ami
nal that needs more training than an
OK. Nearly all boys are out of Jail, but
some of them ought to be penned or
Gagged, or stalked out TO Craze. I have
heard that Il good way to treat them
was to put them in barrel and feed
them through the bung-hole," but /
wouldn't want the barrel left around
where / could hear him boiler, and it
wouldn't DO for me to have to feed him,
for / might DO like the rabbit did the
wolf, pour hot water in on him. There
are many kinds of boys, large boys, and
small boys; and small boys with large
heads. These large heads are like
gourds, only they don't rattle. for they
have lost all of their brains and are
too empty. Poor things they have suf-
fered with the 'g-b.' girl on the brain"
and that is the result. But boys is all
men now, / don't know a boy that is a
boy, but he Is the only one that thinks
he Is a man.

Mr.. Charnay's previous explorations
in Central America is to prove that
the cities where ruins exist there are
onlya few hundred instead of many
thousands of years ago. He says that
the surface of the soil does not indicate,
as has been supposed, that the land has
been submerged since the cities were
built. The extreme softness of the

What is Inertia?

Inertia is that property which rem.
ders body incapable of putting itself
in motion when at rest or coming to
rest when in motion. When a station.
airy body begins to move, or moving
body comes to lest, it is not through
any power Of it's own, but because it is
acted on by some external agency,
which we call force. That no mani.
mate body can put itself in motion is
evident from our daily experience. The
rocks that we saw on the earth's surface
ten years ago are to-day in precisely
the same place as they then were, and
there they will remain forever unless
some force removes them. 1t is equally
true, though not quite so obvious, that
body once in motion cannot of itself
cease to move. The earth revolves on
its axis, the heavenly bodies move in
their orbits, just as they did at the time
of the creation; they have no power to
stop. 1t is true that on the surface OF
the earth moving body gradually
comes to rest when the force which put
it in motion ceases to act; but this is
owing to the resistance of the air and
force which draws it toward the center
of the earth-not to any agency OF its
own. Remove all external forces, and
the inertia would keep it moving on in
straight line forever. 1t is in 'nse'
uuence of inertia that horse has to
strain hard at first to move load,
which, when it is once in motion, he
can dlaT with ease. A Car, through Its
inertia, continues moving after the To-
connective is detached. Through inertia
person standing erect in stationary
boat or wagon is thrown backward II 1t
suddenly starts; his feet, touching the
bottom, are carried forward with 1t,
while his body, by its inertia, does not
partake of the onward motion and falls
backward. So, person standing erect
in a boat or wagon that is moving rap
idly is thrown forward if it suddenly
stops; his feet cease to move at once,
while his body continu in motion IN
consequence of its inertia, and falls Tor
