HOME OF THE LEAD PENCIL.

Concord, Mass, is the chief pencil-pro-
ducing town of the world. The indus

one was made there in 1912. The war

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Queen Victoria lett an enormous
number of private letters which, ac-
cording to a court official, 'it would
take the better part of mans life
time to sift, sort, docket and arrange
for publication or intelligent preser-
vation."
Reginald Vanderbilt is the only
representative of his family with lit
erary inclinations or ambitions. He
has written short stories ever since
he was a small boy at school, some
of his work showing considerable inn
agination.
"It is odd" said the poet, with vio-
lently-conceaied complacency, "but 1
cannot remember any of the verse

exclaimed the friend; "and perhaps
some day you will be able to forget
that you wrote t."-Indianapolis
News.
Lord George Goschen, former Eng
lish chancellor of the eXchequer,
heretofore best known as an author
ity on finance, is at work on a biog-
raphy of Goethe, of whose writings
he is great admirer. Years of re-
search are said to have resulted in
Sir Georges gathering together a
mass of new material.
Lord Derby, former prime minister
of England, was looking for a book
in his library one evening in the
presence OF Lord Arthur Russell.
Passing his candle along the shelves
he came to the poems of William
Morris. "If had known that he
was going to turn socialist I
wouldn't have gone to the expense
of binding him in red morocco" re-
marked Lord Derby.
Ernest Seton, whose studies of an
final life have delighted so many
readers, for 20 years has been not
ing by word or sketch every small
fact he discovered. Among them are
innumerable footprints of wild ami
mails, most of which he gives Mrs.
Seton credit for obtaining. She has
often gone into an animals cage in
the New York zoo and with the
keepers assistance cajoled the crea-
ture into walking to and fro on light
brown paper which would show his
tracks.
According to the New York Ex-
aminer one of the temptations of the
time is in it's literature. Never be-
fore, it says, were so many books
published and read, and it is to be
feared that there has never been
so much Improbable reading. The
main thought of many readers is to
find book that will while away the
time. Books that would increase
knowledge or promote purer
thoughts and nobler aims are often
neglected for novels that tend to no
good end.

AUTHOR AS PIG CHARMER.
and Was Himself saved by
the Old woman.

That versatile author, Rev. Sabine
Baring-Gould, tells many amusing
anecdotes concerning life in his little
Cornish parish, relates London NJ. A.
p. One of these, which is intensely
characteristic of the superstitious but
good-natured Cornish folk, is worthy
of being rescued from oblivion. An
old lady, one of Mr.. Gould's parishion-
ers, came to him one day and earnestly
besought him to come and see her
"ow'd zow," which, she said, was "very
bad" The author of "Mehalah" pro-
tested, and said that he could do the
poor animal no good, for he was a par
son, not veterinary surgeon. But
the old soul persisted that if he came
and said "a few words" over the pig
it might recover. To pacify her, Mr..
Baring-Gould hied him to the pigsty,
where she old sow lay painting in the
last throes of death. Entering the
sty, with mock reverence he marched
round the pig, and in a sepulchral
voice uttered the words: 30 pig, if
thou livest thou livest; but, o pig,
if thou diest thou diest." And, strange
TO say, the pig got better, much to
the delight of the old lady, who put
implicit faith in the efficacy of the
''few words" the parson said.
In after days the scene was changed.
Baring-Gould lay on bed of suffer-
ing, nigh unto death. No one, not
even the members of his own fam
lily, was allowed to see him. The doc
tors, were consulting in low tones, and
expressing the conviction that the
quinsy would soon carry the author to
the better land. Suddenly the front
door bell was vigorously handled, and
the servant angrily answered the i'm
patient stranger. An old lady having
heard that the parson was ill, and was
not likely to recover, wished-nay, de-
manded--to see him. Declaring that
she could cure the parson, she pushed
the servant aside and made her way
to the room in which the patient was
lying. Her noisy entrance disturbed
him, but when she repeated, with aw-
ful solemnity: 20 parson, if thou liv-
est thou livest; but o parson, II thou
diest thou diestl" he was reminded of
the other occasion on which the form
ula was used, and burst into uncon-
trollable laughter, which ~broke" the
quinsy. That is how, as Mr.. Barring
Gould loves 10 say, he was saved by
a "zow."

Insanity Among Negroes. a

Twessty -tive years. ago insanity was
rare aalgsg tke eolered people Of the
south, and suicide almost unknown.
Since then there has been a. distinct
change for the worse. DIR. Babcock,
superintendent of the South Carolina
asylum for the insane, reports an
alarming increase of mental diseases
among the negroes and other physi-
clans bear him out in this statement.
DR.. Babcocl1 says there are more in
sane blacks among the inmates of the
asylum than ever before and the num-
ber is increasing at greater ratio
than the population. The prevalence
of brain disease is attributed to the
common use of drugs and bad whisky.

VICTORY OF A CORNET.
Musician Closed the Door

just after sunset the orchestra in
a German cafe half way uptown
tuned up for its first number. The
room was comfortably filled with
diners. The orchestra started in

company of Salvation Army soldiers
formed circle across the street
from the cafe. More than a hundred
persons gathered quickly. Then Il
cornet solo, played by soldier WAC
knew how to do it, came out clear
and distinct.
For a moment it seemed to quiet
all noise the vicinity. Several of
the diners, who were waiting for
their orders to be served, got up
from their tables and stood in the
open door of the cafe and listened
to the cornet rendering: Onward

The first violin of the orchestra in
the cafe kept time with his head.

The laws which are therefore in

exception of the General Orders and
Royal DEGREES which have not been
revoked, viii be bound together in the
one volume and will constitute the rule
of conduct for residents of this island.
Practicing attorneys and judges in
the Courts will be able to more fully
appreciate the Importance OF this new
work, than the citizen possibly can. In
the past great confusion has prevailed
over the inconsistencies and contradlc-
tons which have existed between the
General Orders, the Spanish laws, and
the statutory enactments. In the new
book there will be no laws which are
contradictory to any other law. The
intention of the legislature always has
been to supercede one law for another
or else to amend one by the other, and
not to have them negative one another
The new volume will prevent any tur'
ther trouble in regard to this subject.
AS far as the General Orders are
concerned there will of course be some
confusion These laws were passed Dy
military government, and were lssueo
from time to time as temporary neces
sity dictated. Many of them have out
lived their usefulness, and otherslshoulo
be reenacted and made part OF ou1

present form they will always be
