DO Not Wet n Lead Pencil.

The practice of wettiGg a led pen
Gil on the tongue before using it is an
unclean habit, to say the least, and
perhaps also dangerous one.
Recently & woman Of fine bearing
and elegantly dressed stepped into the
counting room of one of the local pa
pers of large city to insert an adver.
tisement. Having no pencil of her
own, she picked up pencil which was
tied with string to pad used foi
writing. At once she poistened the
lead with her tongue and began to
write. An elderly woman who was
standing by reminded her that the
pencil had just been used by an old
man, ragged and dirty, greasy and
filthy, who also had contracted the
same habit of wetling the pencil of his
tongue every time he wrote word.
The disgusted woman flung the pencil
away and scolded the young man be-
hind the counter until he sharpened 9
brand new pencil for her use and ben
eft.
The habit is a foolish one. Instead
of making the pencil write more freely
and easily, it hardens it and makes
it write blurred any irregular.
Newspaper men and those who use
lead pencils a great deal never damper
the lead in the mouth or with 6
sponge. Besides being injurious to the
lead, it is dangerous habit, inasmuct
as disease has been known to be con
veyed in that way into the system.

keep Your Top Cool"

1t is reported of Artemas W ard that
he once offered his flask of whisky to
the driver of the stage on which he
was riding through mountainous sec
ton. The stage driver refused the
the flask in most decided tones. He
said:
"I don't drink; I won't drink; I
don't like to see anybody else drink.
I am of the opinion of those noun
tains-keep your top cool! They've
got snow, and I've got brains; that's
all the difference"
There Is 8 deal of wisdom in his
remark-"Keep your top COOL"
Without a sound brain man is not of
much use in the word. Alcohol,
whether in beer, cider, wine, brandy,
or whiskey, is foe of the brain and
when it gets there inflames it, and
renders it unfit for use. Be like the
veteran stage driver, and resolved to
"keep your top COOL"
