A Good Story of the Khedive.

Th6skhedive of Egypt always used to
rise early, and generally began his read
ing of official reports at o'clock A. NJ. /;
but one morning, during the recent
siege, he had slipped outside into the
garden of Ghezireh at sunrise, and was
returning to the palace, when he was
stopped by a sentry eyer can't go in
ere, yer know said the English soldier,
with good-natured contempt for the ig-
norance of an evident 'furriner." "But

in his hesitating English. ''Oh! do yerl
well, what sort of a palace ave yer
got?n Every good "Ah. Fine times,

thought it necessary to offer an apology
to the khedive, who. however, was de-
lighted, and told the story at least twice

A New York letter to the Cleveland
HeraM says: 1t would seem that fash
ions in signing ones name would be SUI
perfuous; that if zone had name, that
was the thing to, sign that and nothing
but that But alasJ ones simple name
is not sufficient Some time ago certain
young men of social aspirations started
the fashion of representing their first
names merely by an initial letter, while
the middle names, often improved upon
or invented for the purpose, were spelled
out in full The novelty of this has
worn off somewhat, and we are not un-
duly impressed by scard bearing the
name of y. Fortescue Browne" or IS
de SmytEe jones'" But now that women
have come to using the same fashion we
are little surprised. That it is not
simply ripple upon the sea of fashion
is shown in the fact that several wedding
invitations have gone out with the brides
name similarly engraved, both in this
city aud Philadelphia.
A later custom than this is being in
troduced at present, that of signing the
entire name in full, and also that of join
ing two names as a surname. The first
comes from England, from whence we
are getting so many of our fashions now
adays. English women or men sign
Mary Elizabeth Jones, or Herbert Lionel
Brown. as mere matter of course, and if
he or she were gwen as many more
names, would use them all, for, why are
names given them if not for use And
do not three or four names look more i'm
portant than one with initials
The second, that of joining two names
as a surname, comes from France, where
it is customary TO use the name of the
wife as we'll as the husband There is
much more reason for this latter custom
than the former. This usage makes it an
easy matter to give woman her proper
place among her own or her husbands
family Mrs. zones is very indefinite
There arc so many Mrs. Joheses that we
can not tell, unless we know her we'll,
which Mrs Jones it is we know. But
Mrs John Hamilton Jones tells us at once
that Miss Hamilton married Mr. John
Jones, and that Mr.. John Jones married
one of the Hamilton girls.
In the case of widow who has mar
ried again it is quite customary to see
cards engraved. Mrs. J. Frances Eng
lish, Frances being the first husband s
name. This custom obtains more gen
orally among women who have attained
something of reputation, socially, ar
tistically, or otherwise, which they do
not wish to lose by hiding their identity
under a new name.

Franklin and Adams as Room. Mates

Here Is funny old story which has
never seen print, and it is true, having
come down among the traditions of the
old families of Massachusetts, says a
Boston Lady Some time during the revO-
lutionary period, or little after, John
Adams and Benjamin Franklin were dis
patched from Philadelphia, believe, to
this State, on a public errand. Adams
had a mortal antipathy, shared by him
along with the majority of mankind at
that day, against the night air He be-
lieved that if he kept his bedroom win
dow open even crack at night he would
surely die. Franklin, on the other hand,
was .disbeliever in the theory of danger
in the night air, and he had many argu-
ments with Adams thereon CIrcum-
stances and the crowded condition Of
many of the taverns they stopped at on
their journey eastward compelled them
frequently to occupy the same room.
and often the same bed Adams
always opposed raising. the window,
and poor Ben nearly suffocated and re
vlled Adams on waking for his wretched
theory of the deadly effects of natures
universal medium of breath. One night
Ben slyly raised window in their com
mon chamber, but Adams, on the alert
for his friends little games, insisted that
it should be closed at once Said crafty
Ben: Now, Mr.. Adams, we'll go to bed
with the window up, and / will show
you why it will not be harmful to us to
permit it to stay open. If | cannot con-
vince you of the reasonableness of my
theory, will myself get up and close
the window" Adams weakly consented,
and Ben began to reason with him.
Finally poor Adams was talked to sleep,
and Ben TRANQUILITY resigned himself to
slumber. Next morning great was
Adams horror az finding the window up,
but not having died during the night.
and feeling no i'll effects from having
breathed the night air, he became a con
vert to sly Benjamln's night-air theory.
The author Of history of America dur
ing the colonial epoch told me this anec-
dote as something amusing, which has
hitherto escaped type.

Lead Pencils.

With the improved machinery now
used ten hands will make about four
thousand lead pencils of the cheaper
grade a day. The cedar comes chiefly
from Florida. and it is received in slabs
of pencil length, one for the lead to go
in and the other to cover it, as may be
seen by examining the end Of any lead
pencil Four little grooves are sawed in
the thicker slabs, for the leads, which
are kept in hot glue and taken one by
one and inserted in the grooves. Then
the thin slab is glued to the loaded slab.
and, thus united, they are run through "A
molding machine, four pencils coming
from each slab. After the ends are
rasped they are run between grooved
wheels at considerable pressure for the
only finish they get. This Furnishes
them, and they are tied in dozens and
boxed for sale, mostly in plpin wood,
and of three degrees of hardness. The
graphite used comes in fine black pow
der, and is mixed with german white
clay, about half and half, and then
ground with moisture, forming a paste.
This is pressed in dies into lengths Of
four leads, which are cut and then baked
at very high temperature. These sell
at 50 cents, $3.50 and 50 per gross, and
are very good articles, writing smoothly
and evenly. The manufacturer makes
about one hundred per cent, selling the
pencils at eighty-five cents gross, and
the retailer makes a good thing selling
them at cent piece. The graphite
costs about twenty-five cents "A pound,
and the clay little more than the freight
The more clay is used IN the leads the
harder they will be. TM cedar is cut
mostly from fallen trees in Florida
swamps Geye's Stationer.
