How to Arrange Your Light.

Dining at friends house recently, >
says a woman, Il was conscious through
the meal that the light was most crate.
fully arranged and that everybody
looked at his best Finally I discovered
that the mellow radiance which was SO
acceptable came from above the table,
but was not shed down upon it, but up
and down into the room, while the din
ner company sat in grateful shadow
which was yet entirely illuminating.
This was managed by a large circular
metal shade, suspended by metal chains
in an inverted position, perhaps three
feet above the table. The bottom OF
the shade was fiat and the sides tall,
measuring prob lily eighteen inches.
The lamp was kerosene on6of a single
powerful burner, and the sides of the
shade, | was told, were lined with
strong retlectors planned to concentrate
and force the rays up and out in a wide
effulgence. A circular opening in the
bottom of the shade permitted the lamp
to be drawn down through it for light
ing and replenishing which opening,
however, was perfectly closed when the
lamp was in position, permitting 10
smallest ray to escape downward. This
particular lamp with its beautiful and
ornamental shade of dull metal, was a
trophy of travel in the orient and is
not to be duplicated for the liking to do
so, but the principle of the lighting
ought to be possible to copy with a lit
tie experiment. Several tall single can
dlesticks with shades stood on tire table,
adding soft color tone to the light,
whose charm should be enjoyed to be
fully appreciated. In summer there is
no heat and at all times there is no
glare, and altogether it appeared to me
a most novel, artistic and delightful

The Interview of Prof. Il. Is. Anderson
published 10 The Madison Democrat. IN
which he criticises Haugen's electioneer-
Ing methods and insists that nationality
should play no part in the reelection of
candidates for public office, contains a
great many truths. But when the pro-
lessor states without condemning 1t, that
Haugen's support of the Bennett law
made him Objectionable 20 the Germans,
he appears to approve of the use of ma
tional prejudice.
The Sentinel IN commenting upon the
interview. says that if Mr.. Haugen had
protested against the use of his Norwe-
glan birth as an lnducement for the sup
port of his candidacy by his own nation
allty, he would have done what 10 other
candidate under like circumstances has
been known to DO"
The like circumstances" may DESTROY
the parity, If one is disposed to be finical.

the fact of his being a Bohemian be not

polntment came to him he wanted 1t as

his nationality.

HE newspapers have begun the discus

| toward the strikers who followed Debs'
advice IN the early part of the summer
| and came well nigh wrecking the COM
| merclal interests of the country. These
| men want their positions restored to
them. They are penitent. but it must be
| admitted it is that form of penitence
which has It's origin in concern for ones
own welfare. 1t is not penitence for the
harm done to society but regret at the
loss of employment. 1t is just as well
that this feature of the situation is recog-
| nized for the laborer's own future good.

motive beyond this. Debs sought TO es-

LEAD PENCIL 6,
What They Are Made of and How They
Are Manufactured.

Ask the next wise man you meet how
many lead pencils are consumed pei
capita by the inhabitants of the United
States and see if his wisdom will stand
by him. says the Northeastern Lumber
man. If he answers correctly he will
say something less than four for every
man, woman and child.
The wood of which these pencils are
made comes from Florida 1t is red
cedar, Straight-grained and compare
lively free from knots. One of the
manufacturing concerns has 4 mill in
Florida where cedar logs are trans
formed into strips of about seven inches
/ long, three-eighths of an inch thick. assd
three inches wide. These strips are
Grated and sent north. Six grooves are
made lengthwise: into these grooves
the graphite is placed and two strips
are glued together. The block is then
split into squares, and the pencils fin
ished either round or hexagon, as de-
sired.
Maybe you have never thought of it
in that light but the pencil industry
uses up a large amount Of cedar. An
average red cedar log contains about
four cubic feet of wood. and there are
on an average twenty-five trees to the
acre. If no mistake has been made in
the rapid computation, it requires the
timber from not less than 1900 acres to
supply annually the pencil manufac-
turerS OF this country. In addition,
considerable cedar is exported to Ger
many. Alabama was once the great
pencil cedar producing state, bur the
cedar, which was clearer and larger
than that found in Florida. is exhausted.
Manufacturers have tested other kinds
Of wood with view to finding 4 sub
stitute for cedar, but so far without
success.
1t doesn't take long 10 make a pencil.
The graphite is ground and mixed with
great care, and in this mixture is the
pencil makers secret The mixture is
placed in machine that might prop
erly be called little sausage suffer,
from the end of which is forced a con-
slant stream of lead the proper size for
a pencil. These threads of lead are cut
in lengths, baked in an oven, and when
hard are glued into the little grooves.
The rough pencils are shaped either
round or heXagOn at the rate of sew
enty-tive a minute, or 10, 600 a day: 125
pencils minute, or 5000 a day, are
colored and vanished; furnishing and
stamping are done at the rate of 100 a
minute, or 1000 day. This work is
done by machinery operated by girls
not moe than y years of age, who, no
| doubt, earn as much as a dollar or two
week. The little blocks which are
frequently used inside of the punches
of pencils are made of poplar, each
block being grooved to fit the pencils.
Twenty years ago you paid more for a
pencil than you do today. The iDyan-
ton of machinery and the discovery of
graphite mines have reduced the cost of
them at least 30 per cent. Foreign
pencils have been gradually ousted, and
| at present, if | am not mistaken. we
export about as many lead pencils as
| we import.

THE senate bill Is a vast Improvement
on the Mckinley law but the people de.
manded something still better. Though
the election Of 1892 was overwhelmingly
democratic Il did not change the political
aspect Of the senate as that body con.
t4ins a few membe who are simply
masqqeradlng N the garb of democrats.
The senate was compelled to make some
concession to the people, however, and il
consequence the bill which has teen pass
ell makes important reductions. The
average duty under the Mckinley law is
1880 per cent. Tie Wilson bill reduced
II 10 IS % per cent; the senate bill makes
il SS.6S per cent. Lumber. salt and wool
are placed en- the free list: SO are Lemp,
flax and iute. The duty on woolens is
reduced one-haf; the reduction N coal
and iron is nearly one half, from 75c tc
41c. The bounty to sugar growers is dis.
continued and tax is levied on the i'm.
ported article. Sugar from HAWAII con.
tinues free. The Mckinley law admits
raw sugar free, imposes ajax on imported
refined sugar ard gives a bounty of :
cents per per pound to native producers
After the passage Of the senate bill by
the house, four bills were introduced and
passed, placing sugar. coal, IRON ore and
barbed wire on the icee list. This will
place the senate on record on The SMEAR
trust question. 1t will also give the re.
publican members of that body an oppor.
tun1ty 10 demonstrate the sincerity ot
their professions for free sugar.
