A Point on Pencils.
a Scbnacfa,iy Union.

From the Schenectady Union.
Life is Just one worry after another.
and lust as we are getting accustomed to
the high cost Of living along come the
manufacturers of lead pencils to tell us
that in five years from now the supply
of wood suitable for lead pencils will be
exhausted.
The number of pencils consumed annu-
alIy is $50 600 OOO and red cedar furnishes
wood for these. That Is chosen because
II is soft, whites easily and is free from
knots.
The pencil manufacturers have become
so alarmed over the prospect Of a disap-
pearance Of the supply that they have
Interested the United States forest serv-
ice and that branch of the government is
sending broadcast suggestions to meet
the threatened deficit.
No doubt some good substitute for red
cedar will be found, and thus the manu-
facturers be permitted to go along the
even tenor Of their ways But IL the
worst comes to the worst and we must
get along without pencils that We cannot
whittle, why, we must just face about
and use fountain pens.

THRIFTY PICARDS.
Villagers With Substantial Incomes
and Simple Households.

From the Saturday Review
wealthy farmer who pleaded guilty
to an annual income of e1,2oo but who
was probably much better off, boosted the
other day that he rarely spent more than
one and threepence on his daily food
This does not imply that he is not fond
Of amusement. When away from home
he feeds we'll: he is fond OF shooting;
and when he gives a spread produces
the best of old wine and denies nothing
either to himself or to his friends; but
then, this is q rare event. His wife and
his sons wives do all or nearly all the
Homework. 1t is only now that his wife
has been ailing for some time that they
indulge in the luxury of a maid OF all
work, and yet with all this simplicity
they have furniture and pictures which
men of their own position in England
would never think OF storing up. lie was
offered a pretty large sum for one OF
these pictures, which he had originally
received in payment Of bad deot; but
he pleaded guilty to an affection for ii,
and said it must only be sold Tor very
substantial sum OF money.
All these wealthy peasants live in the
same way. They have, some of them.
f5,OO0 year, but no one would think
Ii. One of them, who is sugar reiiner,
has spent q fortune on his refinery. and
now allows his wife the luxury OF dog
cart, on which she pays visits to her
friends; but she generally saves the cook
the trouble of opening the door. They
ostensibly spend e6O0 a year, and either
put by what is left or invest it In i'm
proved plant or machinery. They are
not particularly liberal in their donations
to the church, or indeed to anything else;
but some of them are fond of gambling.
AS, however. they are all of pretty near
ly equal strength and always gamble
with the same friends and neighbors for
the same large sums of money, II does
not often happen that their annual losses
upon this score are serious.
These may be said to represent the
aristocracy Of our village. There are ru-
mors that they are looking forward to
the day when the owners OF the chateau,
who. unlike this wealthy bourgeofsie.
spend their money without thinking OF
accommodating their savings for a rainy
day, may have to sell the place. II We
descend a step lower in the social scale
we find the same characteristics In the
Pere Dubois, a substantial farmer who
gets I'D at 3 o'clock in the morning In
the summer and at In the winter. He
cultfyates his own land, but is never at
a loss when an honest penny is to be
earned. He will willingly take five francs
for carrying the luggage of those who
are staying at the chateau to or from
the station, and yet he can AFFORD to
spend large sums of money when his wife
has to undergo an operation.

you, my boy, and those are the only
princes these days"
One week later, in the middle of
January, Frederick CORTLAND Hardy
crossed Lake Baikal to Irkutsk and
there took the magnificent train
luxus," a nine-days' railway journey to
Moscow. Though he was going on
important business, yet he felt
strangely agited over the fact that he
was soon to see the princess again.
With the agitation, too, was mingled a
certain degree of misgiving and fore
boding. He was not sure that his see
ing her would conduce to his peace
of mind.
He was accompanied by his secre-
tary, Wang, the Korean boy, who had
rendered himself Indispensable through
his genius for details.

Wang glanced up from the pile of cor
respondence with which he was busy.
"You look like a gentleman" he re-
piled, quietly.
Thanks" said Hardy, who was in
evening dress. 81 am glad you think
so. for the costume which | am now
wearing was invented to convey the
impression that a man is either a gen.
tleman or a waiter, though it has, first
and last, it must be confessed, COW
cred the back of an occasional
coward or clown. 1t is necessary for
me tonight to look the gentleman,
my boy" he added, whimsically, "for
am going to mingle with the haute
noblesse. The merchant of Stryetensk,
Wang, is on his way to the palace Of
the Romanoffs!"
always a gentleman" he replied.
There are many among the drunken,
licentious and cowardly nobility OF
Russia who are less worthy to enter
palaces than the merchant of Stry-
etensk!"
Hardy laid his hand on the others
shoulder.
"You look pale, by boy" he said.9
kindly. "You are working too hard.
Put these away now and go to bed, or
here-take this and go to the theater"
and he laid gold piece on the
table. Wang flushed and handed the
money back
'Tf go to the theater," he said,
with considerable spirit, II can buy
my own ticket"
Hardy's finer feelings prevented
him from smiling.
Pardon me, Wang" he said, restor-
ing the money to his pocket. Il did
not mean to offer you charity; merely
a reward for exceptional attention to
duty. But must be going The prin-
cess said eight and it's nearly that
now. Don't work any more tonight"
He was gone.
"The princess!" muttered Wang,
jabbing the pen, with which he had
been writing, so spitefully into the
table that he shattered its point. THE
naughty, lemon-haired princess-and
she wants nothing Of him save to
amuse herselfi He has saved her life
and now she will repay him by break
ing his heart l could kill her!"
Having given vent to this ebullition
of seeming jealousy, Wang proceeded
to illustrate still further the feminine
nature of Korean boys, for he rested
his head on his arms and sobbed for
some moments violently. After which
he twisted his neck about and kissed
the spot upon his shoulder where his
masters hand had rested.
