Russian Lead Pencils,

An order was received last week
from Moscow, Russia, and shortly
after a similar order from Warsaw,
Poland, for carload of Sierra Nevada
redwood, to be used in the manufac-
ture of lead pencils. The orders in
themselves are of no great import
ance, except as showing that a new
use has been found for certain kind
of California redwood, and that this
is only the beginning of an export
trade which may develop into some-
thing worth looking after.
What becomes of the lead pencils is
almost as much of problem as what
becomes of the pins. Millions OF
pencils are used and lost and thrown
away and disappear every year, and
the demand increases constantly in
stead of diminishing. OF late years
Russia has begun to make use of her
vast deposits of plumbago in the man
ufacture of lead pencils, and while as
yet the Russian pencils have not taken
rank with the best lead pencils of
other Nations, the output is ON the in
crease and the quality is sure to i'm
prove.
The wood which holds and encasos
the lead is an important part of the
pencil. 1t must be soft in order to be
sharpened easily, and yet it must not
be brittle or cross-grained. Cedar is
the favorite wood for pencils, but the
Russians evidently believe our noun
tain redwood equally available, as is
seen by their demand for it. The
supply of Florida cedar being limited
has compelled search for substi-
tute, and our mountain redwood
stands high up in the second rank.
Redwood has already come into
favor for other purposes. 1t is used
very largely as an ornamental wood,
especially the knotty and curly va.
riety. If to this we can add the export
of the straight-grained wood, even for
making lead pencils in Russia and Po-
land, we may congratulate ourselves
upon the opening of new avenue OF
industry which may broaden aud ex-
pand in the future.

Mr.. Joplin.
''But very few Of these kind people

cor, jest simply like boys?" sug-
gested Mr.. Joplin.
And then little Knucks, the lame
boy, returned. He hoped in and
laid the card on the desk.
"Here is the ticket back again, sir, -
he said. LET some other boy use it ;
l don't need IL. I'm not going" He
was outside Of the door by this time.
Mr.. Joplin's tall form arose sud
denly from his chair. He took a few
long steps and placed his big hand on
the lads shoulder.

snow, when Knucks had received
the precious ticket emitting him to
the country week he had flown home
ward as fast as his crutch would car
ry him. Little Jimmy Patton, the
sun-stricken lad, lay on the brisk lit
tie cripple's bed. He looked up weakly
as bis friend hoped into the room.
'I've got it, Jim !" Knucks cried,
eagerly, "l've got ticket for one,
an you can go to the country to-mor-
rowp
The sick boys face lighted up and
he took the ticket and looked at it.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1895-07-03

the Secretary answered that nobody
wanted boys yet. This boy limped in
and out on crutch, for one of his
legs hung withered and useless, but
his limb was brisk despite the heat
and his evident weariness. But he
stopped when out of hearing, and one
hand slipped furtively up and dashed
tear or two away.
Upon the following afternoon a tall,
angular man came striding briskly into
the Office. The Secretary looked up
from his writing, then greeted him
politely.
'Paul Hallett, I reckon" inquired
the newcomer.
"That IS my name. sir. What can
do for your I-why, of course !
remember you, John Joplin" said
Mr., Hallett, with a hearty ring in his
voice. "And / am truly glad to see
you again, old friend"
Mr.. Joplin in his well known pep
per-and-salt suit, did not look particu-
larly prosperous, and the Secretary
was afraid that he had been obliged to
save and hoard in order TO make this
journey back East from Colorado, to
visit old scenes. But he was very
glad to see him, and he was talking
over old times when he was interrupt
ed by the entrance of the lame boy
who had come the day before and gone
away disappointed with a whistle on
his lips and tears in his eyes. To-day
his face seemed to look little older
and thinner. But he hoped in
briskly on his crutch.
"GOt a chance for me yet, sir?' he
asked.
"Yes, my lad" the Secretary an
swered. 81 have just one chance for
boy. You can spend your Fourth
of July week in the country. What
is your nAme?" AS he spoke he held
out card.
"Hil" The boy fairly snatched the
card and hoped out of the room
with a smoothered whoop.
"That boy has happy week befor,
him, said the Secretary. 81 wish il
were in my power to make many more
such little fellows happy in the same
way"
''What's this business, anyhow p
asked Mr.. Joplin. 81 don't exactly
see through it,"
Mr.. Hallett briefly explained the so
ciety. It's beneficiaries we're among
the children of the very poor, who

Mr.. nallett was keen questioner,
and it was not long till he had the
whole story.

said Knucks in telling it. "But it's
no use, he says i got the ticket an

"Well, why don't your" said Mr..
Hallett.

but he looked worried and troubled
more than he would tell. "Me go

His voice shook and he started to hop
from the room. "Keep your ticket,
he ierked.
"Sit down there again." said Mr..
Joplin. "Here, little feller, both OF
you can go to the country"
Knucks had sat down, and for a mo-
ment he stared at the man in the pep
per and salt suit.
"There's only one ticket" he fal-
tered, finally.
"Hang tickets p cried Mr.. Joplin.
"You fellers are goin' with me. To-

Explosions in the streets are now in
a fair way to be explained. Major
Cardew has discovered that there is a
remarkable deposit of sodium in some
of the insulators in the boxes used for
electrical supply in London. Now,
sodium is highly infammable by con-
tact with water, and therefore, pro-
badly sets fire to the escape of gas.
1t has been learned by experiments
made at the gypsy moth station at
Maiden, Mass, that the Paris green,
London purple, and arsenic with which
the trees and bushes have been sprayed
does not kill the moths, but, on the
contrary, they thrive and grow fat
upon it. 1t would appear from thi
that the work of the Massachusetts,
commission during the last years has
served to propagate moths instead OF
exterminating them.

to be tricycle., states the Chicago

two seats, one for the driver and one

weak, as if i'll from the intense heat.
''Got chance for me, Hir?" he
asked, timidly.
"No, my boy" answered the Secre-
tary. ''No one wants boys ye."
The lad made no answer. His weak,
dragging footsteps carried him out of
the building and down the hot street
for few blocks. Then he staggered
few steps. threw up his hands weak
ly, wayered blindly and fell in a
heap on the pavement.
