Why Lead" PenciIr

From the Bookseller and Stationer
Once pieces of lead were used for mark
ing and we continue to use the word.
though lead is no longer a part of various
pencils. History has failed to record the
name of the genius who gave the world
those most useful little Instruments. We
have heard all about the discovery Of
burnt snuff, and the sewing machine. and
the typewriter and all that, but the in
ventor of the lead pencil has evidently
gone down into the shadow of oblivion.
'unwept, unhonored and unsung."
Il have to laugh at the queer ideas some
people have about pencils said one man
ufacturer You will scarcely believe It.
but the opinions of people who know moth
ing about it seem to be divided between
the melting of the lead and pouring 1t into
the hole in the wood, and cutting out the
lead to fit the hole.
Il know" continued the manufacturer
that not one out of ten thousand per-
sons has the least idea of what this lead
is. See, here is fine black powder: that
is graphite and costs somewhere about
twenty-five cents a pound. This white sub
stance is German clay. 1t comes as ballast
in vessels, and all 1t costs us is for freight
We mix clay and powder together and
grind them in a mill, moistening the mass
carefully during the process, until the two
are thoroughly assimilated and reduced to
paste that is about the consistency of
putty. Here are the dies for the leads
into which we press this paste of graphite
and. clay These leads are dipped In hot
glue and are placed in the grooves as the
blocks are made ready. When the lead is
put in there snugly and forever, the thin
block is glued to the thick one and left to
dry thoroughly"

Are women heater than men, was a
question recently asked by a cynical old
bachelor who is a stern critic as to all
that regards a woman's get up. This was
the reply, says Godey's Magazine "Wo-
men are endowed with strange vagaries,
and, while extremely fastidious In many
ways, are very neglectful in others Even
the SWEETEST society girl Is not as partica-
lar as to the freshness of her collar and
cuffs as the plain everyday man of bust
ness; to change his linen at least once a
day is a sort of religion with most men.
With women It is different; they will in
spect their collars and cuffs after a DAVIS
hard wear and decide that they will do.
not recognizing the fact that il any doubt
exists on the matter they should be con-
signed to the laundry without demur
Again, man is much more concerned
as to the state of his shoes than a wo-
man; even the poor clerk on a meager
salary spends his nickel a day for a shine
without srudging, and, If 1t be imperative
that the nickel be saved, he gets up earlier
in the morning and Yields the backing

self in Worth's or Paguin's latest crea-
ton and forget to look at her shoes: she
is willing to condone the loss of one or
two buttons and the consequent baggy. an
pearance of her extremities; like0the pea
cock, she trusts to the gorgeousness of her
plumage, and hopes that her skirts will
cover all defects"
