The Excellent Craftsmanship of Hunter

Who Had Experience.
 An old member of the South Moun- tain Rod and Gun club was talking of few solemn and inspiring truths for the s1neft of several younger members
 When l Tas boy, 2 he was saying. ''I was about like other boys. l guess, only I think had better notions than some hays know of now. Now, there's my son''-
 "Oh," interrupted one of the listen CTS, '.you don t want to take boy hand. icapped like that ,
 Don't yon worry about me, re- torted the veteran. That boy will be alF tho greater for winning with the handicap. Let me tell you about his craftsmanship. One day last winter he went out with ne to hunt rabbits, and the luck was poor. We had been out about four hours, and all of a sudden great big rabbit like a calf jumped up right at his feet-the boy's feet, mean and the boy kicked him one ill the sibs and knocked him out jG a minute. Well, we were three or TUtr miles from home, and we thought we might as we'll take up our game and tote it i'll and come out again when there was something more ill sight We logged along, tie Icy carrying the rabbit in his game bag, till somehow it kind of came to and was about to get away, when I noticed it.
 Here, said I, thinking of some. Ghing, it won't ever do toS take that home and tell the folks you kicked it to death. It's get to be shot, and ws might as well do it now as any other time.
 So I gets out string and ties it to the rabbits hind leg, and hangs him on the limb of a tree, and the boy gets off about 50 yards with rife to make it kind of sporty, and, after sighting q long time, bang! goes the gun, down comes the rabbit, and the way he skin. ned out for the short timber was eau. tion to winged fowls, for he fairly flew. l looked at the rabbit for about see- ond, and then gazed on that boy.
 . What in thunder '- began, when he interrupted me.
 !" Oh, l say, pop, he said, did you see my marksmanship? That string tu tho rabbits hind leg wasn't thicker than q alarming needle, and tlamed if I didn't cut it off clean at 50 yards, with a rife. Have you got record like that, guy 'nor?'
 Had I? Of course I hadn t. and that boy had just gone to work and missed that rabbit and by chance cut the string and let the cottontail get away, that was all. But what could I say after that craftsmanship snap he dropped on me? Nothing, and had to let it go at that. Now, what have you got 10 say to that boy s handicap? SayF' Washington Star.

SLATE PENCILS.
What They Are Composed of and How
 They Are Made.

They Are Made.
 Slate pencils undergo a number of processes before they arc ready for use, and in making them nearly all of the manual labor is done by boys First broken pieces of slate are put into 8 mortar run by steam and are crushed to a powder, which is then bolted in q ma chine such as is used in houring mills. 4 fine slate four results. which is thor. oughly mixed in a large tub with stea- tite flour and other materials the whole making stiff dough. The dough is kneaded by being passed between iron rollers q number of times, and it is then taken to a table. where it is made into short cylinders four or five inches i'll thickness and containing from eight to ten pounds of material each
 Four of these cylinders are placed in q strong iron resort which has achanee- able nozzle so that the size of the pen cils may be regulated h the retort the material is subjected to great hydraulic pressure and is thus pushed through the nozzle in the shape of | long cord. As the cord comes through the nozzle it passes over @ knife and is cut into the desired lengths. Tho lengths are laid on boards to dry and are then placed oil sheets of corrugated zine. the corrugation preventing the pencils from walping during tho baking process The baking is done in q kiln into which snperheat- ed steam is introduced through pipes
 The pencils go from the kiln to the finishing and packing room, where the ends are held for an instant under a rapidly revolving emery wheel, which neatly points them.
 Finally they arc packed in pasteboard boxes, 100 poneiIs ill each box, then 100 of the pasteboard boxes are packed in 3 wooden box, and they are ready for shipment. Philadelphia Times

Hot Stuff.

The Cosmopolitan publishes thew rendering of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" aud declares, referring to Richard Le Gallienne as the responsible party, that these quatrains will assure to him leading place among living English poets. What the literary world has been famished for, what it has craYed with intense craving, is new version of the Rubaiyat, and what would represent its widest dreams is q version prepared by the distinguished oriental scholar, Richard Le Gallienne, who has already given to the world some ecstatie prose fanoies and possesses the finest shock of hair in Great Britain. It is true that the Rnbaiyat has been "done" into English by several gentle men of literary ability and respectable scholarship. There was, for example, a Mir. Fitzgerald. who has obtained lit tie temporary notoriety through some very pretty jingles OH Omar's wine cup and roses, but the result was not satis- factory either to Mir. Le Gallienne or to the editors of The Cosmopolitan, and to this fact we are indebted for such lines as these:
 Like to maid who exquisitely turns
 A promising face to him who, waiting, burns In hell to hear her answer, So the world
 Tricks all and hints what no man ever learns.
 We believe that We are justified ill saying that man who is burning in hell while a maid is exquisitely turning a promising face is what is known col. loquially as 'thot stuff, " considerably warmer than anything Mrs. Wilcox has dished up ill late years. We congratu. late The Cosmopolitan on its success in securing Mir. Le Gallienne's quatrains, and we have only words of admiration for Mr. Le Gallienne's brilliant idea. We hope that he may feel encouraged by the eager applause of the literary public to perseyere on present lines and give us other amended version of the ancient poets. ts.-Chieago Post.

TRENTON, March Is, 1S97.-A bill was
introduced in the Senate yesterday which
brought to mind the famous Senate in
v~estigation of the ballot box frauds in
the fall of 1889. William S. Sharp of Tren-
ton was Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate
of 1890. and the ballot boxes of Hudson
and their contents were placed in his
possession Later he sent the boxes back
to Jersey City to be used in the local
election. but kept their contents until
this day. He put them into paper bags,
which were sealed with great solemnity
and much wax. Every day when the
evidence was wanted by the Hudson coun-
ty Grand Jury and during the trial of
the indicted men Mr.. Sharp ravele to
Jersey City and back again with his
precious rust. When the trials were
aid over he tried to get rid of the ballet
poll lists, registry books and other cleo
ton paraphernalia, but has not succeeded
to this day. The Jersey City authorities
could not accept them, neither would the
Hudson county authorities. and as Mr..
Sharp was responsible for their safe keep
ing he had to take them to his home in
this city. where they have been ever
since.
Yesterday Mr.. Skirm introduced a bill
authorizing the destruction of Mr.. Sharp's
burden and paying him $500 for the an
guish of mind their custody has caused
him.
A large number of other bills were In
