2,SI2 Tons of Rock.

Very close to 5,625, 900 pounds OF
granite rock are now piled about the
stone crusher, on the city lot back of
the sheriff house and Jail. A yeritable
young mountain greets the eye of all
who chance that way and causes them
to stop and look twice before passing
on. Mayor Baker informs us that they
will quit hauling Saturday next, when
they will have about 375 cords on hand
This is enough to pave Main street from
the Wood County Bank corner as far as
the Congregational church The city
has purchased its stone at 81 per cord
making the summers feed for the
crusher amount to $3.50. Ten or twelve
teams have been hauling to the rock
mound daily, and drivers have made
better wages than taking their horses
into the woods About twenty loads
were received per day, most teams
making two trips. Messrs. Will and
James Blow have brought in the largest
loads, averaging five tons each trip, and
carrying in one load as high as II, $40
pounds. Farmers have also hauled in
an occasional load which had only
proven nuisance on their land. judy
ing from prices paid at Stevens Point
and other cities for an inferior road
making stone, we believe this city has
been fortunate in obtaining its supply
at very reasonable and low rates.

How Lead Pencils Are Made.

Lead pencils are made altogether by
machinery. The best quality of cedar
is cut into proper lengths, shaped the
exact size of the pencil, then split and
grooved to admit the lead The ''Iead"
is not lead at all, but plumbago, or Ill
most pure carbon, the only admixture
being little oxide of iron. 1t is
ground by machinery, and, with a
little mixture of glue, or some other
substance to render it strongly ad-
hesive, is moulded into the shape re-
CURED. 1t is then placed in the
grooves, already prepared, while a
special device spreads glue over it's
surface and that of the wood. presses
the two halves together, and thus COM
pletes the pencil, which is then passed
on to be painted or vanished, dried
and packed. The colored pencils are
made of ochre, colored chalk, or other
materials.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Chinese do everything backward.
Their compass points to the south, in
stead Of the north. The men wear
skirts, and the women trousers; while
the men wear their hair long, the women
coil theirs in a knot. The dressmakers
are men, the women carry burdens.
The spoken language is not written, the

read backward and any notes are in
serted at the top. White is used in
mourning and the bridesmaids wear

shake their own hands instead of the

Nothing but Luck.

Good luck is the twin brother OF
hard work.
Luck walks while work rides in a
carriage.
Luck pictures dollar. while work
earns it.
Luck dreams of a home, but work
builds one.
To trust to luck is like fishing with a
hookless line.
Luck is disease for which hard work
is the only remedy.
Luck longs for dinner, while labor
goes out and earns one.
Luck goes barefooted. while work
never lacks for pair of shoes.
Luck is a weather vane with the dis,
tinguishing points broken off.
The man who relies on luck is lucky
if he keeps out Of the poorhouse.-
