PERTAINING TO PENCILS.

"A lead pencil should never be wet.
1t hardens.the lead..and ruinsthe::pencil.
This fact is known to newspaper men
and stenographers. But nearly every
n elsedoes weta pencil before using it.
This fact was definitely settled by
. newspaper clerk way down East.
Being Of a mathematical turn of mind.
he ascertained by actual count, that Of
fifty persons who came into an office to
write an advertisement or church notice,
forty-nine wet7 a pencil in their
mouths before using it. Now this clerk
always uses the best pencils that can
be procured-in fact is u connoisse
in lead pencils. cherishing a good one
with something of the pride of a soldier
feels in his gun Or sword ; aud it hurts
his feelings to have his pencil spoiled.
But politeness and business considera-
lions required him to lend his pencil
scores OF times every day. And often,
after it had been vet till it was hard
and brittle. and refused to mark. his feel
ings would overpower him.
Finally he got some cheap pencils
and sharpened them. aud kept them to
lend. The first person who took up
the stock pencil was a drayman. whose
breath smelled of onions and whiskey.
He held tho point 10 his mouth and
soaked it for several minutes while he
was t~orturing himself in the effort to
write an advertisement for a missing
bulldog. The next was q granger
whose mouth overfowed with tobacco
Juice. in streaks down each side, and
who wet the pencil every time he wrote
q 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 but
tons and button-holes half q yard over
her shoulders. She picked up the same
old pencil and pressed it to her dainty
lips. preparatory to writing an adver-
tisement for a lost bracelet. The clerk
would have stayed her hand, even at
the risk of a box of the best pencils
ever fabricated. but he vas too late
And thus that pencil passed from
mouth to mouth for a week. It was
sucked by people Of all ranks and sta
tions, and all degrees of cleanliness
and u~ncleanliness. 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 Den
Gil to write his acknowledgment to
kind neighbors who had watched with
him. Next day that pencil went upon

The little that is published of Hon.
James G. Blaine's book gives promise
Of rich treat in store for every one
interested in the history of his
country. There will be a chapter on

Prince Leopold is by far the most
accomplished and highly educated Of
Queen VictOria'S sons. He is an
effective orator, and has made
speeches which would have been
highly creditable to any young man.
Ex-Governor A. II. Rice, of Massa-
chqsetts, has been unfortunate in his
love. His first wife died early. His
wedding day was appointed with a
second lady, but she died shortly
before. He became engaged to a third
lady, whom he married, but she be-
came insane shortly afterwards.
Sullivan got drunk at Boston, and
on reaching his home damaged the
furniture to the extent Of about $500.
He having no one else to try his
prowess upon except his wife, knock
ed her down several times. He has
evaded arrest by rusticating himself
in another state until the little I'M

IT is very evident that the Indian
ring is at the bottom of most of these
Indian troubles. Some years ago
General Crook did all he could to
have the Arizona Indians settled by
tribes on reservations, but the agents
combined against him and soon I'M
did all he had effected. They had the
Indians, while crops were growing,
taken from their reservations to 9th
ers without improvements or crops.
The object in this was to have a
chance to manipulate supplies. Then
began the usual system of false beef
weights, the weights used being drill
ed full of holes which were stopped
up with cork and blackened over so
as to look like iron. The roll calls of
the Indians were also falsesifed, so
that they represented the agent as
feeding great many more Indians
than he really was feeding. The In
dams have, under this system, been
half-starved, while the contractors
filed their pockets with money.
OF course, the Indians grew des-
perate and diScontented and man
fled from the agency, joined the wild
Apaches and made war on the settle
ments. As every Indian war gives
work and money to the contractors it
is very evident that the Indian ring
is at the bottom Of all the Apache dis
turbances in Arizona. There would
be no trouble whatever if Crooks pol
icy of military supervision and tribal
arrangement of the Indians had been
maintained The Indian policy, under
the Indian bureau system, is a grand
fraud upon both whites and Indians,
and so it will be as long as the Ind
ians are left to civil regulation. We
venture to say that campaigns against
the Indians would be a thing of the
past were the redskins left alone to
the care of the army. They should
know, too, that the same punishment
would be visited upon them for steal
ing and killing us upon whites COM
hitting similar offenses.

Labor and Food.
fScientific American !

The human body never ceases to
work. Even in the most profound
Slumber some of the functions of life
are going on, as, for instance, breath
ing, the circulation of the blood, di-
gestion, when there is food in the
stomach; and it follows that some
part of the nervous system is there
fore awake and attending to business
all the day and night long. In the
act of living, some of the substance
of the body is being constantly
consumed. The amount of work
done by the heart in one day in
propelling the blood is now estimated
as equal to the work of a steam engine
in raising l25 tons one foot high, or
one ton l25 feet high. We lose in
weight by working. Weigh a man
after several hours hard labor, and he
will be found two or three, and. in
extreme cases. several pounds lighter.
Ipwe do not wish to become bank
rupt, we must replace by food the
amount we have lost by labor
Hunger and thirst are the instincts
which prompt us to do this. They
are like automatic alarm clocks,
which stop the engine at various
points to take fuel and water. In
healthy man as much is taken in as is
required to maintain the weight of
the body against loss. Nature keeps
the account. On one side is 8 much
food spent in work ; on the other, so
much received into the stomach for
digestion. They should balance like
the accounts of an honest book
keeper. In an unhealthy person the
Of hnnnr1anc HnY-
ed and does not sound the alarm, and
so the person goes on working with
out eating until he becomes pauper-
lied; or the the instinct works too
frequently, and he eats too much and
clogs the vital machinery. A calcu-
latlon of the business done in the
working person about S15 pounds of
food and drink are used up daily;
some bodies use more and some less,
but this is an average. The profit
which the body gets on this tranSac-
ton has been calculated, and may in
terest our readers. The energy
stored up in the 81 pounds of food
ought to raise 3,4U0 tons one foot
high. Most of this energy, however,
is expended in keeping the body
warm and its functions active. About
one-tenth can be spent in our bodily
movements and in work. The profit,
then. on the process is about ten per
cent. This is enough to raise $40
tons one foot high each day. A
profit which is quite enough for earn
ing good living if rightly expended,
and it is probably more than most
make; but all outght to strive to reach
this point if possible
