farm from here to Marietta. He says
that the whole country from here to
Marietta is practically under lease
with good monthly rentals. OF course
there are a number of farms not under
lease, but there is practically contin-
uous line of leases from here to Mari
ett. 1t takes good big pile of money
to carry so much land, but the land is
held by hundreds of different men,

BuRnEo TO DEATH.
A Little Child Literally Roasted TO Death
at Parkersburg.


PARKERsBURG, Jan. ga terrible
accident occurred yesterday afternoon
to the three-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Brown, at the home of its
parents on Dilloway street, East End,
which resulted in it's death several
hours afterward.
A few minutes previous to that time
Mrs. Brown had gone to neighbor's
for bucket of water, leaving the
child alone in the house. Before her
return she was attracted by agonizing
screams of the little one. She rushed
to the house and a horrifying spectacle
met her gaze. The little boy was en-
velopcd in flames. The distracted
mother did all she could to eXtinguish
the blaze, but did not succeed, and her
hands were also terribly burned in the
attempt. All the clothing was burned
off tile little boy clear down to his
ankles, and his body was literally
roasted, presenting sickening ap-
pearance.
Physicians were summoned and did
all they could to alleviate the frightful
sufferings of the injured child, but they
met with poor success 1t was known
that the injuries would prove fatal. as
the little one had swallowed flames.
Death relieved its sutferings at II
o'clock last night.

only graphite mine Of any consequence
IN the United States Is located. The
graphite Is taken in the lump from the
mines and carried to the reducing mill,
where 1t Is ground or pulyerized in
stamp mills under water. The fine par
ticles Of the graphite float away with
the water through a number of tanks,
collecting at the bottom of these reser'
voirs. 1t Is packed in barrels in the
form of dust and sent to the factory,
where tens Of thousands of lead pencils
are turned out every day.
The pulverized graphite is so fine that
1t really is a dust, dingy in color and
smooth and oily to the touch. 1t Is
divided into various grades Of fineness
by floating it on water from one tank
to another. The coarse dust sinks to
bottom of the first tank, the next finer
to the bottom of the second tank and so
on down the line, the finest powder for
the finest pencils settling in the last
tank. In another series of tanks the
German pipe clay, which is mixed with
graphite to secure the different grades
of pencils from very soft to extra hard,
is graded In the same way, by floating.
The finest clay Is mixed with the finest
graphite, and the hardness of the pen
ell is secured by increasing the proper
lions of clay in the mixture. For the
medium grades, seven parts Of weight

How They May Re Cured and Their

Colds are probably the most common

A person In good health, with fair play,
easily resists cold but when the health

to be feared as the antecedent condi-
lions that give the attack chance OF
doing harm. Some of the worst "colds"
happen 10 those who do not leave the
house or even their beds, and those who
are most invulnerable are often those
who are most exposed to changes OF
temperature, and who by good sleep,
cold bathing and regular habits preserve
the tone of their nervous system ana

contracted at night or at the flag end
of the day, when tired people get the

specially the case with elderly people.
In such cases the mischief is not al

the plunger, pressing down, forces the
graphite through the hole, making a
continuous thread or wire of graphite.
AS long as this thread Is moist 1t is
pliable, but it becomes brittle when dry,
so it is handled rapidly. 1t Is cut into
three-lead lengths, Strengthened out
and then hardened in a crucible over
coal fire. The leads, when taken from
the crucible, are ready for the WOOD.
Pine is used for the cheap pencils, an
ordinary quality of red cedar Is used
for the medium-price pencils, but moth
ing but the best Florida Key cedar
is put into the best pencils. The saw
mills in Tampa, Fla, cut the cedar into
blocks about seven inches long, and
these are sawed into strips wide enough
for six pencils, but, as pencils are made
in halves, each strip Is only thick
enough for half pencil. When the
strips are received at the factory they
are run through a machine which cuts
in each one six grooves, round or
square, and at the same time smooths
the face of the wood. Both strips are
grooved alike, for, unlike the European
made pencils, the American make has
the lead equally in each strip.
The filling of the strips Is done by
girls. The first one takes a grooved
slip of wood in her left hand and
bunch of leads in the right. She
spreads the leads out fan shape, and
with one motion fills the six grooves
with leads.
Next to her sits another girl who
takes the filled strip and quickly and
neatly lays on it another grooyed strip
which has just been coated with hot
glue by a third girl. The filled and
glued strips are piled up on each other
and put in a press, where they are left

ON THE STAGE.

In the rosy light of my days fair morn
Ere ever storm-cloud darkened the
west
Ere ever a shadow of night gave warning,
When life seemed only pleasure guest,
Why, then, all humor and comedy scorn-
ing,
liked high tragedy best.
I liked the challenge, the fieree-fought
duel,
With death or parting in every act,
liked the villain to be more cruel
Than the basest villain could be, in fact,
For it fed the fires in my mind with fuel
OF the things that my life lacked.
But as time passed on and l met real
sorrow,
And she played at night on the stage of
my heart,
| found that l could not forget on the
morrow
The pain l had felt in her tragic part;
And alas! no longer / needed to borrow
My grief from the actors art
And as life grows older, and, therefore,
sadder
get sweeter, may be, in its autumn
haze,
I find more pleasure in watching the
gladder
And lighter order of humorous plays,
Where mirth is as mad or may be mad
der
Than the mirth of my lost days.
like to be forced to laugh and be merry,
Tho the earth with sorrow is ripe ana
rife;
like for an evening at least to bury
All thought of trouble, or pain, or strife.
In sooth, I like to be moved to the very
Emotions I miss in life.

ly the finished pencils are packed

are counted at various stages of the

way as simple as 1t Is accurate. The

two strips Of wood are fastened the
length of the board and about four
inches apart. In each strip are IA
grooves. The workman grasps hand
full of pencils, leaving a pencil In each
groove. In this way he counts a gross
of pencils in n few seconds, and does
1t without a mistake, for only IA pen
ellis can be placed ON the board at one
time, and If any grooves are empty the
workman notices the mistake at once.
