1884 to overcome, but the powerful

"What does it cost to make lead
IpencilP" said the manufacturer in re-
ply to New York Sun reporters
enquiry. First, let me tell you how
70 make pencil.
"See this fine black powderP That's
graphite. II costs twenty-five cents o
pound. This white substance is Ger.
man clay. 1t comes across the ocean
as ballast in sailing vessels, and all IL
costs US is freight. We mix this clay
with this powder together and GRIND
them in a mill, adding moisture dur
ing the process, until the two are
thoroughly mixed and are reduced to
a paste about the consistency Of
putty.
This paste we press into these
dies, each one Of which is the size OF
"a pencil lead except in length. There
are four leads in one OF these. After
they are pressed we cut them into
proper lengths and bake them in an
oven kept at a very high temperature.
Then we have the lead made. Its
hardness is regulated by the greater
or less amount of clay we mix with
the graphite-the more clay we put
in, the harder the lead.
he cedar we use comes princi-
pally from Florida, and is obtained
entirely from fallen trees that lie
there. The wood is delivered to US
in blocks sawed to pencil lengths,
some OF them thick, to receive the
lead, and some thin, for the piece
that is to be glued over the lead. The
blocks are sawed for four pencils each.
They are grooved by Il saw the
entire length, the grove being the
place where the lead is to lie. The
leads are kept in hot glue, aud are
placed in the groves as the blocks are
ready. When that is done. the thin
piecs is glued fast to the thick one.
When dry, the blocks are run through
a machine tn t cuts the pencils apart.
Another machine shapes them. AK
ing them octagonal, or round, or fat
or three -cornered, as the case may
be. The pencils are FURNISHED by
machinery, ind are then ready to be
tied in punches, boxed, and put out"

L1NCoLN,s MELANCHOLY.
His Sympathetic Nature and His
Early Misfortunes.

Those who saw much Of Abraham Lincoln
during the later years Of his life, were greatly
impressed with the expression Of profound
melancholy his face always wore in repose.
Mr.. Lincoln was OF a peculiarly sympathetic
and kindly nature. These strong character
istics influenced, very happily, as It proved,
his entire political career. They would not
seem, at first glance, to be efficient aids to
political success; but In the peculiar emergen-
cy which Lincoln, In the providence OF God,
could possibly have become the "chosen OF the
Lord.h
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
knew that early griefs tinged his whole life
with sadness. His partner in the grocery bust
ness at Salem, was "Uncle" Billy Green, OF
Tallula, H., who used at night, while the Gus
toners were few, to hold the grammar while
Lincoln recited his lesson.
1t was to his Sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story Of his love for sweet Ann Rutlidge;
and he, In return, offered what comfort he
could when poor Ann died and Lincoln's great
heart nearly broke.
'sAfter Ann died." says "Uncle" Billy, con
stormy nights, when the wind blew the rain
against the roof, Abe would set thar In the
grocery, his elbows on his knees, his face In
his hands, and the tears runnin' through his
fingers. 1 hated to see him feel bad, an
I'd say, ABE don't cry;' an he'd look up an
say, Ican't help 1t, Bill, the rains fallin' on
her.'n
There are many who can sympathize with
this overpowering grief, as they think Of a
lost loved one, when the "rain's fallin' on
her." What adds poignancy to the grief some
times is the thought that the Lost one might
have been saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William johnson, Of
Corona, l.. l., q builder, who writes June %,
1890: LAST February, on returning from
church one night, my daughter complained Of
having pain in her ankle. The pain gradually
extended until her entire limb was swollen
and very painful to the touch. We called q
physician, who after careful examination,
pronounced 1t disease Of the kidneys of long
standing. All we could do, did not seem to
benefit her until we tried Warmers Safe Cure;
from the first she commenced to improve.
When she commenced taking 1t she could not

ever was. believe owe the recovery Of my
daughter to its use."

for silver, the advantage will be with
the American wheat grower.
On September l, 1890, No. 2 wheat
sold for seventy-four cents a bushel in
this state. On September /, 1890, it
was Sl.02!, and mas since advanced.
II is probably not true that the whole
of this advance has been due to the
passage of the silver bill, for silver
has not advanced as much as that.
But that a great part of it must be
ascribed to the advance in silver
caused by the new law is as plain as
that whereas a. pound sterling or a
gold dollar, would formerly buy twen-
ty-tve per cent more wheat in India
than America, now it will buy no more
counting the difference in exchange
and freight.
