the consumer is I'D giving his personal
attention to the filtration Of the water

charcoal will escape from it not only
cleansed of particles held in suspension,
but also of organic and other matter.

We find in the Washington cures
pondence Of the Herald yesterday the
following Interesting piece 10 infprnis,
ton:
ain the afternoon the President had
large numter Of laay callers. The
first Ia he presented were a party III
Kentucky ladies. They We're the
hand-omest group that have been In
the East room for n hong time"
Kentucky has long been famous for
the beauty of its women, and we are
not surprised to hear that party Of the
daughters Of that fortunate State at
tracted great attention In the White
House because of their uncommon
loveliness. We have no doubt that
their stately beauty would have pro-
yoKed admiration and possibly stirred
up consequent jealousy at any court in
Christendom.
Throughout the Union the types Of
womanly beauty have been steadily
improving for two generations past,
until now they are probably the finest
in the world. Especially since outdoor
sports for women have come into fash,
ion, girls have been gaining in physical
strength and beauty to remarkable
degree. Meantime, too, the United
States have been receiving from abroad
the best specimens of manhood-the
young and enterprising; and they have
contributed to the elevation of the
physical quality Of the human stock in
America. We have gained the most
vigorous blood o. Europe.
But here i'm New York we regret to
see that fashionable designations are
dragging down many Of our most
beautiful girls and young married
women. BY the time Lent sets in
they look completely tagged, and faces
which ought to be flushed with health
full beauty are wan and wrinkled, and
bodily movements which should be
free and elastic give evidences of utter
WEAKNESS. Nor do all these young
women get in summer the relief from
social strain which they so much need
Very likely they leave town to begin
anew the arduous business of hunting
after conventional pleasure, and when
the social world is active again in town,
they are hardly better fitted to endure
its exactions than they were when
they left off in the spring. They ART
wearing themselves out with late hours
and social habits which may do wei
enough i'm the climate of England, but
are not adapted to the more nervou:
American constitutions and our pecu.
liar atmospheric conditions.
1t therefore happens that the hand
some women in New York are moi
found in the circle which assumes Il
lead fashion. We do not see them in
the boxes at the opera, but encounter
them as we walk the streets or trave
in the cars; and they are not the
daughters of the rich and luxurious.

GOODS.=NEW PAPER.=
Invention of Lead Pencils.

81. ibhiN
As writing became universal and
everyone had to write frequently and
hurriedly, a need arose for a 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 lnk.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 gradually
and the marks made by these pencils
were so faint that graphite came into
use as 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 i'm the manufacture of PEN
ellis, the material used being graphite
or plumbago. which is almost pure
carbon. The graphite used for this
purpose is found i'm great q uantities and
of excellent quality in Siberia, Austria,
Prussia, and several parts of the North
American continent. Only the product
of European mines is commonly used
for the purpose of making pencils
however, as it was found to be so much
superior to all other kinds as to render
the others practically worthless. One
of the most serious difficulties i'm the
way of the manufacture of pencils from
the graphite was the consolidation OF
the material into sufficiently dense
blocks to render it available for the
purpose intended. This difficulty was
surmOunted by exhaustlng the air in
the blocks of graphite and then subject.
Ing 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
i'm the composition. The wood for the
pencil is sawed by machinery into thin
boards, then grOoved, then placed in
position, the glue applied, the lead anc
upper portion laid on aud pressed into
place. No computation can be made
of the pencils annually used in this
country, the number being too vast tC
conjecture.

Beautiful Women.

Inloitering through Italian towns,
says the Saturday Revtev, nothing
strikes the youthful stranger more than
the extraordinary grace and beauty Of
the women. and he naturally desires to
express his gratitude to those who have
lent a new loveliness to life. In the
north this is easy enough. SHOW

of any city from Venice to Florence.
and now even to Rome. Dainty little
ears hear the words not unkindly, and
soft, sweet voices will some times ar
que not quite kindly as to whom they
were intended for But in Naples we
must be silent and discreet. The no.
blemen have reyolvers and the lazza-
roni long knives hidden away some
where out of sight of the police. but yet
within easy reach. Let the young man
be careful, and, If he must give vent to
an admiration too passionate to be ST.

down his face from the cheek bones to
the chin. That means. "Oh, how
lovely she isl" aud the slower the
movement Is, 50 long as 1t is clearly

or peasant, understands this sign, and

symbol of worship for theold Etruscans
We can not tell. 1t is certainly one of
the most sincere forms OF alteration
that modern Naples knows.

But just mended his lick.

And they never fall wholly

The brilliant man who succeeds Mr..
Gladstone as Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, was horn at Hatfield. E ngland,
i'm the year 1880. Like many other
aristocrats of the old country, he is
blessed with wealth of names rivaling
in number II not i'm sonorous quality
those of Spanish nobleman. Robert
Arthur Talbot Gascoigne Cecil is son
of that Marquis of Salisbury who died
In 1868, and those honors and estates
he inherited. After receiving a pre-
paratory education at the great public
school of Elon, he became student at
Christchurch, Oxfor d, where he was
graduated. Subsequently he was elected
Fellow of another college in the same
university. From 1853 TO 1868, he was
a member of the House of Commons,
representing the borough of Stamford.
Since his fathers death he has sat in
the House of Lords, and has been leader
of the Conservative ranks In that au.
gust body since the decease of the Earl
of Beaconsfield.
Be has been entrusted with dignified
officers several times before his present
elevation to the highest position which

was appointed Secretary of State foI
India, i'm 1874, when he assumed the
same Office the second time, and In
1865, when he became Secretary fol
Foreign Affairs. In 1876 he was sent
as special Ambassador for Turkey and
was colleague with the Earl of Bea
consfield, in 1878, at the Congress o.
Berlin. Since the spring of 1880, when
the Liberals were returned to power by
a great majority, he has been one of the

In the tall grass. After an absence of

about corralling time. When the calves
were three or four days old, their
mothers would bring them out into the
