"A Travellers Sketch of What He Saw or
the Road to the Now Famous City.
Never mind why we were there OF
how we got there. but think of a Sat
urday in November, 1880, and OF
another missionary and myself at
Enaili, a little Afghan town thirty
miles out on the Pivy or Irak
road from Herat. If you chance
to be good-paying guest at the inn,
YOU are solemnly informed that Mon
days and Wednesdays are the only two
lucky days for iourneying. We were
fortunate enough to be poor. and so no
one said word about Saturday being
an unlucky day to start on. AS soon
as we came out the walters of the es-
Enlistment appeared, six Arab boys,
each with two kaaoks in his hand. To
be knoked is the first step in the general
system of extortion in vogue. A knox,
YOU may not understand, is an article
of some kind which you have
used while at the poti or inn, and
which the waiter-boy insists on present
ing to you on your departure. Of
course you must pay for the gift, or
run the risk of being pelted with gravel.
NY proffered kasoks were the two nap
kins which / had used, the leather COW
ering of chair. two plates and lamp.
The return for the six articles was
equivalent to as many dollars, and
was vexed. for the k'aoks were of no use
to us at all. Hesitating moment, the
leader of the boys asked if would not
accept the kmoks. Yes" l said, ''if L
can choose for myself!' "All right,
they grunted. Bring me, then, three
OF the couch rugs, drapery and two
silver csps!' SAID. They were dumb

and as they hurried out to confer with
the landladv the post-horses came, and

the south distant roseate ranges skirted
the plains and filed the perspect We
with ever-varying mirage. That por

governed and unsafe, and as there IS
little traffic the expenses of travelling
are enormous. We were in no humor

of us was a Russian traveller with
thirty-six loads of luggage and train

though our party carried bag of

SIR CHARLES WAGER.
The Incident Which Caused His Prom
ton From Cabin Boy to Admiral.

The Incident Which Caused His Promo
ton From Cabin Boy to Admiral.
During one of the wars between En-
gland and France a fine ship laden
with valuable cargo was on a voyage
to America. The vessel had strong
and efficient crew, but was totally un-
armed.
When near her destined port she
was chased by French privateer. Her
commander put forth every effort to
escape, but the French ship being a
faster sailer, he soon saw that capture
was inevitable. He thereupon retired
quietly into his own room below to ar
range his papers preparatory to sur
render.
The cabin-boy. a youth of activity
and enterprise. followed him, and asked
if nothing more could be done to save
the ship. The captain replied that all
it was possible to do had been done to
avoid capture, but in vain, and now
there was nothing for it but to allow
themselves to be taken prisoners.
The lad then returned upon deck
and summoned the crew around him.
He briefly told them their captains
conclusions, but added: eff you will
place yourselves under my command
and obey my orders, have formed
plan by which our ship may be rescued,
and we in turn become the conquerors.
Inspired by the courage OF their
youthful but gallant leader, the sailors
readily consented. He told them his
plan, which commended itself to them,
and they only waited for the proper
moment to carry their enterprise into
effect Their suspense was of short
duration. for the Frenchman was soon
alongside, and, as the weather was
fine, Immediately grappled fast to the
helpless merchantmen.
The victors overjoyed at the acquisi-
ton of such fine prize. poured into
the vessel in great disorder. cheering
and huzzaing, and. not forseeing any
danger, left but few men on board their
own ship.
Now was the time for action.
At the given signal the cabin boy.
followed by the crew, jumped on board
the Frenchman, threw off the Crap
pling-irons, seized what weapons they
could lay hands on. and soon over
powered the few men left on board.
Selling the helm and placing the
prlTateer out OF EOardlng Instance, ne
hailed the discounted Frenchmen who
were left on board the vessel they
had Just Quilted, and summoned them
to follow in his wake or he would
blow them out of the water-a threat
which they knew too well he was quite
able to carry out, for the guns had
been loaded during the chase. They
could not help themselves. and the gall
liant sailor lad steered into port, fol-
lowed by his would-be conquerors.
The exploit excited universal ap-
plause and the brave boy was at
once transferred to the British navy
as a midshipman. He soon distin-
guished himself in action and re-
ceived rapid promotion, until at
length he was created an Admiral and
became known as Sir Charles Wager.

LEAD PENCILS.

How and Where They Are Manufactured.
AS writing became universal and
every one had to write frequently and
hurriedly, a need arose for quicker
means of recording thought than was
afforded by the pen and writing paper.
The difficulty was at first met by scribes
carrying with them portable ink-horns,
made of a portion of the horn of some
animal. These ink bottles were fast
ened to the coat button, and for time
the expedient was successful. But as
greater convenience was demanded, the
ink-horn became unpopular, and some
one invented the pencil. Pencils were
at first made of the metal lead, but
the lead was worn off SO grad
uallv and the marks made by
these pencils were SO faint that graphite
came into use as a substitute
for the lead, and the pencils made of
this substance were called black-lead,
to distinguish them from. the others.
No lead whatever is employed in the
manufacture of pencils, the material
used beng graphite or plumbago.
which is almost pure carbon: The
graphite used for this purpose is found

quality in Siberia, Austria. Prussia and
several parts of the North American
Continent. Only the product of the
European mines is commonly used for
the purpose of making pencils. how
ever, as it was found to be SO much
superior to all other k, nds as to render
the others practically worthless One
of the most serious d faculties in the way
of the manufacture of pencils from the
graphite was the consolidation OF the
material into sufficiently dense blocks to
render it ava liable for the purpose in
tended. This difficulty was surmount-
ed by exhausting the all in the blocks
of graphite and then subjecting them
to hydraulic pressure. In pencils the
graphite is mixed with German chalk
and the hardness of the pencil depends
on the amount of chalk in the compo-
sition. The wood for the pencil is
sawed by machinery into thin boards,
then groved. then placed in position.

portion laid on and pressed into place.
No computation can be made of the
pencils annually used in this country,
the number being too vast for conject-
