THE LEAD PENCIL.
Its Development From the Markera
Used by the Ancieats.

It is difficult to determine the exact
period in which black Lead was first
utilized rs IN instrument for writing
or drawing, as it has been confused
with other mineral bodies to which It
bears no relation. The ancients used
.Gue. but the metal was formed into
int plates and the edges of these plates
used to make the mark. II an orna-
mental design was desired, the tran
scri1er drew parallel lines and traced
Gherein Illuminated designs, usually
with hard point, but also with soft
lead. That lead was known to the an
clients is also proved by the fact that
IT, is mentioned III the book Of Job.
During the year 1915 there vas Il de-
scription OF the black lead pencil writ

pieces Of plumbago were fastened i'll q

substance, sometimes covered with
wood, was used for writing and draw

Gil was called stiIe. Michael Angelo
mentions this stile, and, III fact, it
seems that such pencils were long used
In common over the whole continent
Of Europe. At this period the name
plunbago or graphite was not in use,
but instead the name molybdena or
| moly bdoids, which is now applied to
an entirely different mineral.
Graphite or black lead Is formed i'll

The mine at BorroVdale, England, has
| supplied some Of the finest black lead
in the world, but the quantity varies
owing to the irregularity with which
the mineral occurs.
The Jews were for awhile the only
manufacturers or pencils. It required
great skill to perfect the manufacture,
according to the degree Of hardness or
softness required. Of recent years the
manufacture of pencils has increased
30 such an extent that the price Of
these articles has decreased proper
tonately. Graphite and pure clay are
combined and used in the manufacture
OF artificial lack lead pencils, and, on
the other hand, the greatest perfection

The Oriain of Gloves,

The origin Of gloves In very ancient
Some authorities assert that they were
known in Bible times from references
made to "shoes" which were thought
to be Identical with gloves
The first clear account Of gloves
comes, however, from Xenophon. This
writer speaks of the Persians wearing
gloves on their hands to protect them
from the cold. Homer describes Laer-
tss working in his garden with gloves
On bis hands to protect them from the
thorns, and Varro mentions this ap-
parel as being worn by the Romans.
Gloves have been tokens Of solemn
and Important things from the ninth
century. They were adopted as a rite
Of the church, and later the transfer
ring Of lands or titles was always at
tended with the presentation of gloves.
In the eleventh century the method Of
challenging to single combat by throw
Ing Down glove was instituted, and
this custom still remains In some coun-
tries.
Gloves were not worn by women I'M

KINDLY CRITICISM.
Imagine Yourself In Anothers Place
Before Passing Judgment.

Before Passing judgment.
None Of Us would deliberately injure
another, but | am afraid that we all
do from time to time by talking when
It would be better to keep still. If we
cannot say something nice about a
friend we should be silent, but instead
we 60 heedIessly on expressing opin-
ions Or telling facts that prejudice eth
ars, and thus we have done harm when
none was intended.
we all need little more charity in
our compositions, I think With that
the temptation to say critical or TN
kind things would be greatly losscned,
and We would make excuses where
now we do not even think Of them.
TO make ourselves learn to do this is
one Of the important things in life,
and a help toward accomplishing It il

lluenced the person to act as she did,
we might see that under the circum
stances we might not even have done
SO well, and, far from blaming, VIC
would praise.
Ignorance will do much to bring toll
Grafton and suspend criticism.
It ought to be as easy to say nice
things as unkind ones, but with many
persons this does not seem to be the
case. Yet it is true that the most
critical are the most ignorant, for
those who know anything Of life, its
are the most lenient and forgiving. A
woman who has lived a secluded ex-
istence out Of the stress Of life Is far
more apt to be quite sure that she
knows all about it and what should
be done at all times than one who
has lived In the thick Of it and gar
nered knowledge. It Is a woman who
learns as she grows who becomes kind
", and criticism is not as often heard
from her as Justification
She it is who is helpful to others and
not antagonistic in superiority. If we
cannot say kind things about another
or cannot justify an act, at least we
may keep silent about it. Even more,
we may try to apply kindly motive
and not disa greeable one. In that
way certainly we shall not be harm
ing another, and we may be doing
good.-Edith Caruth.

"A careful estimate shows that the

A WOMAN WHO SAVED
WILHELM |. AND BISMARCK

A hitherto unpublished story of the
three weeks war between Prussia and
Austria, has just been made public. 1t
now appears that this struggle might
have ended with a tragic event, which
would have profoundly altered the
course of recent European history. A
writer in the LINER Tagespost, who
was an eyewitness, relates that four
days before the Armistice of Nikols-
burg, King William of Prussia, accom-
panied by Bismarck, arrived at Pois-
doif "a small town, situated about so
miles from Vienna). The King and Bis
marck had just taken a seat on the
terrace of a cafe opposite the Town
Hall, when suddenly, from the roof of
a house, small window was seen to
open noiselessly, and through it appear
ed a man with a rifle. As he was an
Austrian soldier, a shot from his rifle
might have meant the death of both the
King and Bismarck. He was, however,
pulled backwards by his wife, who
wrested the rife from him, thus pre-
venting him from accomplishing a ter
rible deed on the enemies of his coun-
try. The noise caused by the dispute
which took place between husband and
wife attracted the attention of Bis
marck, who Immediately got up, follow
ed by the King, and the two walked
away, unconscious of the narrow es-
cape from which fate seemed to have
saved them. Mr.. Schwayr further adds
that the soldier is dead, but his wife is
still living to tell the story. Had it not
been for this woman the whole face of
modern history might have been
changed.
