ODD THINGS IN PENCILS.
Eome Arc Made for Use on Glass and
Others for Writing ON
Human Skin.

7 "Black lead pencils" said the sta
TONER, ''are, of course, the kind most
commonly used; but colored lead PEN
ellis are, in the aggregate, sold in large
numbers. and they are made in very
great variety, relates the New York
Sun.
ARTISTS lead pencils are made in
more than so, in perhaps as many as
a hundred, colors. In these pencils
with the lead in wood. the wood is fin
ished of a color approximating as near
ly as may be that of the lead. A tray
of samples of such pencils thus pre-
sents very striking appearance, MAX
ing more than rainbow of color.
"There are made, also, colored leads,
for use i'll pencils for movable leads.
These artists pencils of one sort and
another are used not alone by artists,
but by architects, engineers, design
ers, craftsmen, and others having &C.
casion to use fine colored pencils.
''Then there is a great variety of
colored pencils for general use, for
checking and marking and so on. in
office, and store, and library and fac
tory, some of these being sometimes
used on textile fabrics, as well as on
paper and wood.
"There are colored pencils, these
also being made in various colors,
that are especially designed for the
use of lumbermen; as there are also
pencils With leads of various colors
made especially for the carpenters
use.
mo doubt the common idea of lead
pencil is of something with which we
mark on paper, though the use of PEN
ellis for marking .on wood is familiar
enough, as, in more limited way, is
their use for marking on fabrics, and
so on; but there are various uses to
which pencils are put that must be
less familiar, if not indeed quite un-
known to many.
"There are, for example, pencils
especially made for marking on glass,
porcelain, polished metals, oilcloth,
patent leather and other things upon
which the ordinary pencil would not
mark at all. The leads of these PEN
ellis are, of course, made of material
especially prepared for the purpose.
With such pencils marking is done
easily on any of the hard, polished sur-
faces, and the marks may be as easily
rubbed off.
"These pencils are in use in drug
stores and hardware, glass and crock
cry stores and so on. They are made
with white and with black leads, and
with leads in variety of colors, the
colored pencils being the more gener.
ally used and the colors most common
~ used being red and blue and yellow.
"Another odd sort of pencil is one
made for the use of surgeons for
marking on the skin in surgical oper-
ations and for anatomical purposes.
These also are colored pencils and they
are made in variety of colors.
"In fact, simple thing as the lead
pencil might seem to be, it is really
something that is made in almost end
less variety; but, for all that, the pen.
Gil manufacturer gets every now and
then from somebody demand for
new pencils for some special use"

1t may he stated as { general prop

with his crude tools, blankets, and
simple food packed upon his faithful

neither roads nor trails are necessary

others flock to try their luck in the

the advantages to accrue to any re-

principally to the development of ore

the women of his family are yainly
struggling With the new habits. the new

new wealth or station has brought.
This is less true in this country, but it
has its truth here, though a diminishing
truth. To man, after all, a house is
only perch. To woman it is a nest.
A man does not necessarily carry about
with him the atmosphere of his house. A
woman pretty surely does.
But even at this point the American
woman has improved on her European

With a rapidity which amazes all foreign

very favorable impression upon her, and
there We're doubts in her mind as to the
wisdom of admitting me. She did not re-

and l continued to linger about, trying
to impress her with my worthinesS. In

swept the room three times. Then l
busted it four times. Every piece of

cleaned thoroughly. My future. I felt,
depended upon it. The teacher was a
Yankee who knew just where to look
for dirt. She inspected the floor and
