The Elusive Lend Pencils.

What becomes Of the lead pencils is as
insolvable a problem as what becomes
of pins. No one ever really uses up lead
pencils-no one drinks them, SO to speak,
to the very dregs, unless it is one Of
those admirable people who keep jour
nails and cash accounts, and who usually
carry sort Of penholder arrangement
in which they insert a half length
pencil and go on and on using it and
sharpening it until it is all gone. Very
few people ever get pencils worn down
as far as a half length. They disappear
before that stage is reached. What be-
comes Of them all? Hundreds of thou
sands Of them annually are lent to young
children and never seen again, but what
do the children do with them? Do they
eat them up? Possibly.
Everybody has seen lead pencils the
upper end of which have been chewed
into a brush, but children do not possess
such ostrich stomachs as would enable
them to consume all the pencils that dis
appear Boston Transcript.

The Use Of sudden Wealth.

The disposition toward mad extrava-
gance, so often seen in wealthy young
men, is not always the result Of means
to crafty overstrong desires, but of pos
tive ''foolishness," or mental incompe-
tence, which, under the pressure Of mar
row means, would not only never have
developed itself, but never have existed.
al have succeeded" said q very great
statesman, "because have never had
enough to live on" The silly marriages
the old frequeG1y make are in just the
same way the result not of loss of judg-
ment but for weakening of the resist
ing power Of the will. The consequences
of unexpected wealth are, however, as
often fortunate as unfortunate, for they
are the products Of the natural character.
We have seen a man who inherited a
fortune very large for his wants become
during the remainder Of his life almost
OF quite miserly, but that was only on a
large scale, the result Of the impulse To
save, which on a small one had been pro-
nounced "wise economy" aggravated
little, it may be, by a foible-timidity
about spending, which is constantly
noticeable also in men who We're born
rich. But we have also seen a lady pre-
viously suspected Of meanness become
habitually and rather splendidly liberal.
Serenity, which we hold with the
Quakers to be an eminent virtue, often
comes with unexpected good luck, and
graciousness, too, the latter being the re-
suit we conceive Of the disappearance
either of a grudge at fate or Of some in
ner fear Of being suspected of "booing
on account Of poverty. Suspiciousness
is pre-eminently the foible Of the poor,
and frequently though not always dis
appears with wealth and tho confidence
it brings, a confidence occasionally SC
great and so needed as radically to inn
prove manner.-London Spectator.

where Kauri cum Ia Found.

Kauri gum is formed of the turpentine
that has exuded from the kauri tree, a
species of pine which is the finest and
for general purposes the most useful
forest tree in New Zealand. Thirty
years ago the Maoris were the only peo-
pie who employed themselves in search
ing for this gum, which at that time was
to be found on or cropping out Of the
surface of the ground, where perhaps
ages before forests Of kauri had stood.
After a few years exports the Maoris
began to dig for the gum few inches
below the surface. AS the uses for it in
creased, its market value rose, and pres
emily Europeans betoolS themselves to
digging for it, until at the present time
there are probably 1000 whites and 900
Maoris engaged in the work in the AuclS-
land provincial district, where alone the
gum is to be found. Hence the output
has steadily increased during the last
thirty years, notwithstanding that the
gum is not being reproduced, except to
a very inappreciable extent, in the exist
ing forests, and these are being rapidly
cut down because Of the commercial
value Of the timber.
Within a measurable period Of time
the production of the gum must cease.
although it is expected that at the pres
ent rate it will take 90 years to exhaust
the deposits in the Auckland district. In
some places gum bearing land has been
purchased from the crown for settlement
purposes, and the gum unearthed in
plowing it has been sold for enough to
pay the purchase money of the land and
for blowing, fencing and sowing it as
well. London Times.
