How to Sharpen a Pencil.

cit really makes me tired to see the
average man sharpen q pencil" said
an old newspaper man in stationary
store to Washington Star reporter.
s.He will cut his fingers, cover them
with dirt and blacken them with lead
dust, and still will not sharpen the
pencil.
"Thcre is but one way to sharpen a
lead pencil and that is to grasp 1t hrm,
" with the point from and not toward
YOU. Take your knife in the other hand
and whittle away as though vou had
lots of pencils to waste. & ~ wing
these directions and turnin:. pencl!
over you will soon have it - : and
regularly sharpened, and yo." myers
viii be unsoiled and you will -, need
any court plaster to put on the wounds
because YOU cannot cut your fingers
when whiting from them.
ssThis method is the best, whether
the knife is dull or sharp. If the pen
Gil is a soft one there is no sense IN
sharpening the lead. Simply cut
away the wood, and in writing turn the
pencil over, thus writing with the sides
of the lead.
another disgusting and senseles:
habit is in placing the pencil in the
mouth when writing. This is 6 relic
of the days when pencils were as haro
as flint and before the manufacturers
were able to produce the smooth, sof'
pencils that are used to-day. The con
tinual dampening of the lead vii
harden even good graphite pencil
and make it hard and gritty. 1t Is
simply a habit, any way, and mos'
| habits are bad ones"

Don't Pull Out supecAuous Hair.

Young Padelford of Philadelphia,
