The Habit of Wetting Pencils
Before Using

The actsof putting a lead PEN
Gil to the tongue to wet it just be-
fore writing. which is habitual
with many people, is one of the
oddities for which it is hard to give
any reason, unless it began in the
DAYS when pencils were poorer than
now, and was continued by example
to the next generation.
A lead pencil should never be
wet. 1t hardens the lead and ruins
the pencil. This fact is known to
newspaper men and stenogrophers.
But nearly everyone else does wet
a pencil before using it. The fact
was definitely settled by news
parer clerk away down East. Be-
ing of mathematical turn OF
mind, he ascertained by actual
count that of so persons who come
into his Office to write advertise
ment or a church notice 40 wet a
mcneil in their mouths before using
it.
Finally be got some cheap pen
ellis and sharpened them and kept
them to lend. The first person VINO
took I'D the stock pencil was a
drayman, whose breath smelled OF
onions and whisky. He held the
point in his mouth and soaked II
several minutes, while he was
torturing himself in the effort to
write an advertisement for a miss
ing bulldog. Then a sweet-lock'
ing young lady came into the OF,
6ce, with kid gloves that buttcneo
half he length of her arm. She
picked up the same old pencil and
pressed it to her dainty lips pre-
paratory to writing an advertise
ment for lost bracelet. The CLERK
would hcve stayed her hand, eve
at the rick CT box of the best pen
els, hut he was roc late. And thus
that pencil passed from mouth &c
mouth for week. 1t was sucked
by people of all ranks ana al
stations, and all degrees Of cleanll
ness and ur cleanliness. But 'twer'
well to forbear. Surely no on'
who reads this will ever again we
a lead pencil.

Thu Honest Office Boy.

A Baltimore lawyer had engaged
a new office boy, and to test the
boys honesty he put a twenty dollar
note under the inkstand on his desk,
letting the end protrude, when ne
went out to lunch. On his return
a couple OF hours later the note was
gone. A silver quarter occupied its
place.
Pale with rage and horror, the
lawyer called the new boy to'him.
"Look here" he shouted, when
l went out left $40 under this ink
stand. Now there's only a quarter
there. How do you explain II"
The boy smiled brightly. "Why,
sir" he said, Gust after. you left q

POULTRY AND GAME
Method of Selecting and Pre-
pairing for Table


Poultry and camel At the very
sound of the words do not thoughts
OF dishes fit for an epicure float be-
fore your mental vision3 Who
ever heard of Thanksgiving din
nor without roast turkey2 And
does not a roast goose form the
piece de resistance of the Christ
mas meal2 Coarse its flesh may
seem when compared with the
tender duck and still more tender
chicken; commonplace, perhaps,
in comparison with the dainty
quail and glorious grouse, still who
can dispute its place.
The formal dinner is never com.
plete without game course which,
at the present time, is usually ac-
com panied by the salad. Yes, there
are certainly fashions in foods as
in everything else.
In buying a turkey do not select
one that weighs much more than
ten pounds. If you are providing
for large dinner party tits better
to furnish two email turkeys than
ore large one. Cock turkeys are
usually better eating than hen
turkeys, unless hen turkeys are
young, small and plump. Any good
turkey is plump, has smooth dark
legs, and the cartilage at the end
Of the breast bone is soft and
pliable. Poultry dressed at the
market seldom has the tendons
renewed from the legs unless sc
ordered. 1t is always desirable to
have them removed, as they be-
come hard and bony during the
cooking. 1t is the practise OF some
marketmer to cut a gash through
the skin to more easily reach the
crop and windpipe. The gash
needs be sewed before stuff1ng and
causes the bird to look less at
tractive when cooked. Cut off the
head and neck close to the body
leaving the skin covering the neck
to draw back under the bird after
stuffing. Dress, clean, stuff ano
truss, place on a rack in the roast

TIME FOR STUDY AND SLEEP
Number of Hours by Which the Best
Results Are Obtained.

Num0eT OF T1OuTb Wy VH'S'f WV
Results Are Obtained.
Mothers know that the newborn
infant must sleep about twenty-five
hours, and that this amount is so
slowly lessened that the child still
demands twelve hours when it is
about twelve years old. 1t is quite
likely that the normal amount is
not reduced to ten hours until about
eighteen years of age or perhaps
until twenty-one years. Nine hours
may be required until well along in
years.
To let boys Of fourteen sit up
until 10 o'clock and then rout them
out at is nothing short Of criminal,
but it is a long established custom.
Lower animals can be quickly killed
by depriving them of sleep-the boy
Is not killed, but perhaps he is SO
exhausted that he loses resistance to
disease. Medical students not in
frequently make the same mistake,
forgetting that a tired brain never
absorbs anything. The midnight oil
frequently represents wasted time
and money and the student sleeps
during next days lectures when he
should be wide awake. A good test
of exhaustion is the tendency to
sleep during dry lecture-and this
Is no joke.
Experience has proved that those
who retire in time to sleep at least
nine hours, and occasionally ten, get
far more out Of their course than
the "grinds." Some of the best
men habitually take ten hours.
theoretically student should be
as fresh at the end Of the term as
at the beginning-the vacation is
for another purpose than sleep. The
whole subject, though very old, is
90 new to the laymen who do the
damage to schoolboys, particularly
In boarding schools, that there is
urgent need of wider publicity and
much discussion for enlightenment.
Not only will proper sleep permit
more to be gained for less effort,
but it will prevent the e1hauStions
which SO frequently follow school
courses.
Physicians might teach mothers
that It is harmful to waken children
of any age-they should waken in
the morning naturally. If they are
not in time for school they do not
retire early enough. If they are
sleepy heads it is either the fault
Of the parent or the result Of ocular
defects. There is much comment
upon the large number Of midship-
men who fail at the Naval academy

colleges. It is suspected that they

MURDERS BY ROAD AGENTS.
Period In Montana When Reign OF
Terror Prevailed.

The discovery up to the fall Of
1863 of no less than ITO bodies OF
victims of the road agents finally
aroused the feelings of the law abid-
ing citizens to a pitch Of frenzy.
They felt that the mysterious dis
appearance of many other men
whom they had known was to be
traced to the bandits. Scores of
miners who had set out with large
sums Of money for various places
had never been heard of and had
never reached their destination.
Murders occurred daily, almost
hourly. Had there been the most
perfect system of legal procedure
time would not have permitted Of
the orderly trials Of offenders, so
frequent were the CT nes. Alder
gulch continued to 'disgorge its
treasure in a steady stream, and the
very excess of its bounty excited the
most selfish passions of men. The
heart of man possessed with the
thirst for gold is like the country
where gold is produced-it is wild
and barren, and the flowers wither.
1t must not be supposed that dur
ing these long months Of sickening
dread and doubt attempts had not
been made to organize justice. Rude
courts were established, and the
guilt or innocence of offenders
submitted to regularly chosen jul
ries, but the staggering outlaws
would boldly force their way
through the lines Of spectators and
into the presence of the qualified
twelve men, announcing their de-
termination to avenge upon every
one connected with the case any
verdict other than acquittal. Wit
nesses and jurors under these cir
cumstances were afraid of their
lives, and justice miscarried until
the outlaws, seeing the blanch Of
fear everywhere, were supreme: In
the early stages Of this reign Of ter,
ror some Of the road agents had
been tried, found guilty and con
demned to death by unanimous
vote, but, as in the case Of the muir
derers Of Dillingham;, between con
viction and punishment motions t.
reconsider had been interviewed
and the vacillating mob, through
fear of relenting doubt, had revoked
the action of the previous hour

was one morning inspecting his
company on parade when he came

not shaved for some days. Hating
in front of the man, he said, Doyle,
how is it you have not shaved this
morning."
"Oi have, sorr," was the reply. =.

Conversation Ceased.

It was a moonlight evening and
jenkins was smoking a fine favored
Havana, when he met a friend.
"Heve cigar?" he inquired.
Thanks" said the other CRATE
fully, taking and lighting the prof
fered weed.
After a few experimental pulls,
however, the friend removed the cl-
gar from his lips, looked at it doubt
fully, and, with very evident
abatement of gratitude in his tone,
asked:
"What do you pay for these CT
CARS"
1.-TWO for 30 cents" replied the
original proprietor of both weeds,
taking his own cigar out OF his
mouth and looking at 1t with con,
siderable satisfaction. "This cost
me a quarter and that cents"
The conversation stopped at TIL.
point, and a cloud conveniently shut
of the moonlight.
