How to sharpen Lead Pencil.

'1It really makes me tired to see the
average man sharpen pencil" said ar
old newspaper man to Washington
Star reporter. sHe will cut his fingers
cover them with dirt, and blacken them
with lead dust, and still will not sharpen
the pencil. There is but one way tx
sharpen lead pencil, and that is to
grasp it firmly with the point from you
and not toward you. Take your knife
in the other hand and whittle away at
though you had lots of pencils to waist
By following these directions and turn
ing the pencil over you will soon have
it neatly and regularly sharpened, and
your fingers be unsoiled, and You vii
not need any court plaster to put on the
wounds, because you cannot cut your
fingers when whiting from them. This
method is the best, whether the knife il
dull or sharp. II the pencil is a sof
one thsre is no sense in sharpening tbs
lead. Simply cut away the wood, and il
writing turn the pencil over, thus writing
with the sides Of the lead. Another dis
gushing and senseless habit is in p acins
the pencil in the mouth when writing
This is a,elict Of The days when pencil:
were as hard as flint and before thu
manufacturers were able to produce tht

Mexico,s Coat of Arms.

The origin Of the Mexican coat of arms
is to be found in ancient traditions. The
eagle was the emblem of the primitive
Mexicans, but when Mexican independence
was overthrown by Spanish conquests new
Quarterings were introduced, and only so
much of the original symbols remained as
would serve to emphasize the glory of the
conuuerors When Mexican independence
was restored just regard for tradition
led to the rehabilitation of the ancient coat
of arms.
The law of April IA, 1923, directed that
the arms should be ''the Mexican eagle
resting on the left claw of a nopal (plant
of the genus cactus). The nopal grows on
a rock in the midst of lake. The eagle
grasps a serpent in his right claw, and is
in the act of tearing it to pieces with its
beak. Two branches, one of laurel and
the other of evergreen oak, adorn these
arms in conformity with the design en-
ployed by the ruler of the first CHI mpions
of Independence"
The allegory thus depicted is explained
by the following legend: The Aztecs came
from a remote country called Aztlan, and
after long peregrination rested in Chapul-
tepec. Inasmuch as they were afflicted
and beset by various insidious enemies,
who attacked them with the cunning of
serpents, their priests searched for a spot
in which they might establish themselves
permanently. Finally they discovered a
point on the shore of lake where an
eagle, perched upon nopal, was devour-
ing a serpent. This seemed good omen,
and accordingly they chose this point, be-
lieving that in so doing they were obeying
the will of their gods They founded there
the city of Tenschititlan, which today is
the populous City of Mexico.-Exchange.

An Engineers Experience.

Engineer Kavenagh, of the Union Pa
cific, is by no means superstitious man.
and yet he believes that coming events
often cast their shadow before them in the
form of presentiments He tells curious
but truthful story of his own experience.
He was running on a road in Central Hi
nois, and daily piloted his engine over a
high bridge that spanned a stream flowing
near Chatsworth, Ills, the scene of the
horrible railroad disaster. The bridge was
a mammoth structure 50 feet high, stone,
and capable of withstanding the most saw
age attacks Of natures artillery.
Nevertheless, one night, as his steam
steed was approaching the bridge, Engi-
neer Kavenagh had a premonition that all
was not right. Why he should have
thought so he could not and cannot tell.
The day had been bright one; the night
was dark, TO be sure, but not with tenn
pestuous clouds However, he could not
shake off the strange warning that had
seized him and stopped his engine. Going
before he peered over the edge of a deep
cavern, and the thunder of thousand bat
Ting waves was borne to his ears. The
bridge had been washed entirely away.
There were 300 passengers on the train
