Rheumatism

1t Is an established fact that Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
1t is certainly fair to assume that what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it
will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial.

from the graphite was the consolida-
ton of the material into sufficiently
dense blocks to render it available
for the purpose intended. This diff
Guilty was surmounted by eXhausting
the air 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 composition.
The wood for the pencil is sawed by
machinery into thin boards, then
groved, then placed in position, the
glue applied, the lead and upper por-
ton 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 conjec-
ture.

LEAD PENCILS.
How and Where They Are Manu-
featured.

Cor. st. Louis Globe.Democrat.
AS writing became universal and
everyone had to write frequently and
hurriedly, need arose for quicker
means of recording thought than was
offorded by the pen and writing pa
per. The difficulty was at first met
by scribes carrying with them porta-
bic ink-horns, made of portion of
the horn of some animal. These ink
bottles were fastened to the coat but
ton, and for time the eXpedient was
successful. But as greater conve-
nience was demanded, the ink-horn
became unpopular, and some one in
vented 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 a substitute for the lead, and
the pencils made of this substance
were called black-lead, to distinguish
them from the others. No lead what
ever is employed in the manufacture
of pencils, the material used being
graphite or plumbago, which is al
most pure carbon. The graphite used
for this purpose is found in great
quantities and of excellent quality in
Siberia, Austria, Prussia and several
parts of the North American Cont
nent. Only the product of the Euro
peans mines is commonly used for
the purpose of making pencils, how
ever, as it was found to be so much
superior to all other kinds as to rem
/ der the other practically worthless.

The Government Seed Shop.

While in Washington during the
recent meeting of the american AS
ISOLATION of Seedsmen, Nurserymen,
and Florists" we were once more
impressed with the enormity and ut
ter absurdity of the Government seed
shop farce. The institution was then
grinding out the Congressional seed
compliments at the rate of so many
tonso worthlessstuff per diem, squan-
dering the farmers money, without
giving them an equivalent. We
thought we could detect the misteri-
Gus, knowing smile of the Roman
d,tg,r of olden times fitting across
the genial countenance of Commits
sioner Colman sas we saw him pass
the open doors of the seed shop, the
worthlessness of which he must I'M
derstand full well.
We are sure that this branch of his
Office is an annoyance to him of which
he would gladly rid himself, if he
could, or If he dared. But Congress
is powerful, and this country is run,
evidently, by set of men who suit
themselves first before they consult
the interests of the nation. The dis
tribution of 5000 packets of seeds looks
like mighty fine thing to the aver
age Congress member; and many OF
them do not appear to have sense
enough, to see that it involves an in
suit to the intelligence and honesty OF
the farmer.

Keeping the head perfectly clean,
says writer in the Salem Mass
Gazette, is great aid to health. A
distinguished physician, who has
spent much of his time at quarantine,
said that person whose head was
thoroughly washed every day rarely
ever took contagious diseases, but
when the hair was allowed to become
dirty and matted it was hardly posi-
BILE to escape infection. Many per-
sons find speedy relief for nervous
headache by washing the head thor
oughly in weak soda water. We have
known cases almost wholly cured in
ten minutes by this simple remedy.
A friend finds it the greatest relief in
case of "rose cold," the cold symp-
toms entirely leaving the eyes after
one thorough washing Of the hair.
The head should be thoroughly dried
afterward, and draughts Of air should
be avoided for little while.
