BY the way, there is no lead pencil,
and there has been none for hfty
years. There was time when a spir
acle of lead, cut from the bar or sheet,
sufiiced to make marks Oh white paper
or some rougher abrading material.
The name of lead pencil came from the
old notion that the products Of the
Cumberland mines, England, were
lead, instead of being plumbago, OF
graphite, carbonate of iron, capable
of leaving a iead-colored mark. With
tho original lead pencil or slip, aud
with the earlier styles of the lead
pencil made direct from the Cumber-
land mines, the wetting of the pencil
was a preliminary of writing. But
since it has become a manu-
facture the lead pencil is
adapted, by numbers or letters. to
each particular design. There are
grades of hardness, from the pencil
that may be sharpened tn 4 needle
point, to one that makes 4 broad
mark. Between the two extremes
there are 4 number Of gradations
that cover all the conyeniences OF the
lead pencil. These gradatiUns are
made by taking the original carbon
ate, and grinding 1t, and mixing II
with a fine quality of clay in differing
proportions, regard being had to ;hC
use OF the pencil. The mixture il
thorough, the mass Is squeezed
through dies to form and size it, il
dried, and incased in its wood en-
velope.

Increasing Circulation.

We are busy changing names from
our WEEKLY to our DAILY list, so
many who formerly took the WEEKLY
write saying "Send me TIE DAILY
HISTORIAN, and credit me with the
amount 10 my credit on the WEEKLY. I"
If subscriptions to the DAILY continue
during the present month as they have
during the last week, our desired list
/ of 1000 will be made up far in advance
of our most sanguine expectations.
THE value of THE Historian as an ad-
svertis' q medium is SO great that but
casual reference need be made to the
fact. Anyone doing business in Asto'
<ria can help his business, the news
spaper, and the community in general
s.by placing in our columns an adver-
= gtisement. Ii is our opinion that nc
Enewspaper in the country has eyel
sdone less In the matter Of soIicitin,
advertisements than The ASTORIA
has. 1t is now attaining such circu
lation that purely rs matter of self
q ISL consideration, apart from motives
& of public spirit, no merchant can affor,
TO neglect an opportunity to call atten
( ton to their goods.
