The Wisest of Frenchmen.

Skeptic, philosopher, distracted
from the world, Montaigne never
theless does not shirk when the
choice comes between speaking out
and keeping silent. Can we repeat
too often his eve must rend the
mask from things as well as from
men," This is no easy task. Even
the strength of the young noun
taineer may not suffice. Masks ia
miliar to us all our lives become
very dear. Let us leave them; there
are other things to do. Is there not
something ignoble in this use Of our
courage, to maltreat an old, venera-
bic appearance? Give us some work
Of poetry and romance; bid us scale
heaven. And so the masks of things
remain unremoved. Old Montaigne
had something sturdy in him at bot
tom. There is the admiration Of
the heroic in him always. OF the
three philosophers, that he studied,
the epicurean, the pyrrhonian, the
stole, his heart was inclined to the
last, and | think he would rather
have had a nod of approval from
Cato the younger than have heard
Sainte-Beuve salute him as the wis
est of Frenchmen.-Eenry D. Sedg-
wick in Atlantic.

How Lead Pencils Are Made.

Few people are aware of the diff
fculties that were surmounted in
the manufacture of the common
lead pencil. In the first place. the
graphite of which it is made is rare
ly found sufficiently homogeneous to
allow pencil lead to be cut from it,
so it is always ground to powder
and then pressed into blocks. The
great difficulty was to press the
blocks until the graphite was hard
enough to use, and for many years
every effort in this direction was
defeated by the crumbly nature of
the material. Finally a device was
employed that exhausted the air,
after which the blocks were again
pressed, and when this was done the
