LEAD PENCILS.
jt is estimated that 500,000,000 pencils are
osed annually. In the United States alone,
m ore than 2,000,000 6f this number are
U'Cd. the most part of which are received
from abroad. The Cumberland mines, in
England, have heretofore furnished the best
quality of the mineral,'graphite or plumba
go, from which the lead is had; but the
supply has been nearly exhausted by con
stant working, and few of the genuine
Cumberland pencils are now made. In
Germany, where 'the pencil trade is most
flourishing, there are several manufactories,
the largest of which is at,Stein, kept by the
Fabor Brothers. It is a family business
with them, their father and grandfather
having been engaged in it before them, and
has been carried on until the name of Faber,
as a pencil mqfeeSr, is-renowned. -A manu
factory has existed for some time at Con
cord, Mass.,,and>ahdtjier extensive one has
now been established near Hoboken Hew
Jersey. At tbis establishment nearly all
the work is dope by [machinery, which is
constructed by : machinists at the factory,
while in Germany the pencils Are mad<£ by
band. For the wood of the pencil Florida
cedar is used* being cut'jpp with;small;sawis,
One set of the wooden slips are ‘ grooved',
and fitted to other pieces called -‘uc&vbrs,”!
and then left till the lead is inserted. The
plumbago is not properly prepared until it
has gone through, a process of breaking,
cleaning, mixing, pressing, and baking.
When it comes out of'the grinding.imill,, it
goes into large tanks, where it, is refined
and separated from all-lingredients, and, Tt
is then placed in a bowl-shaped -machine,,
where it is rolled;^npirad.^,Jt-m
pressed, and this js the mqstinfdrestirfg ‘df
the various 'ddgrAes‘os?*prepn : f'a?i6n- , it' ! cfnder*
goes. A cylinder with tubes in the bottom
is used, and through these .runs T the lead in
hexagon; square,-routfcl, or any
wanted, and is received in edits underheath
by a small boy, who manages thfe board on
which it falls with great dexterity. ,lCther
boys take the lead' afterward and piut vit in
models, which are stheb stint to the heating
room for drying and . hardening; for the
lead, when it comes frdm'the press, is soft
and flexible, and wanting in tehacitjj. It
is left in the heating-rooih one day, .wjien it
is removed to a kiln, it is put in cru
cibles and burned after the manner of burffl
briclt. When this is done, about twenty
girls are kept employed in putting' the'
leads into grooves, and gluing on the covers,
and this work is performed in a very, rajiid
and systematic-style. The cutting of the,
strip is done by run by a machine,
and after they are turned out are put into
another machine, where they are smoothed.
From there they go; to the carpenter’s shop,
where the ends are neatly cut, and they
then pass tt#-polisher’s hands, the
printer's, and the counter's, and-are finally
put in boxes ready for sale.

THE WINTER .01 FAMINE.
We are just emerging from a .remarkably
severe, protracted Winter, which, iti spite of
peace universal, and all but unbroken, has
been signalized by unusual and pervading
suffering from famine,'Wa,nt has made itself
felt among us upon the broad, sandy levels of
the South and in the crowded cities of the
North—in part owitig to the desolations of
War and the disorganization of Labor, but
in part also to the deficiency of our last
harvest. Incessant rains and floods through
out the Spring and early Summer of 1867
retarded planting arid rotted seed in the
South, so that the all-devouring Army Worm,
finding the cotton green and immature, ate.
at least half the bolls, reducing to' Two Mil
lions of bales a crop that , should have been
Four Millions, Otiffer crops, suffered like
wise, but the principal loss was on Cotton.
In the great corn-growing West, plowing,
planting, and cultivating wero.likew.ise re
tarded by Spring and Summer rains, which
were tollowod by an : intense, protracted
drouth, which reduced the Western staple
by a full half. Wisconsin seems to have
escaped this disaster, and there were doubt
less other local exemptions; yet we are con
fident that not more than half" a full crop of
Indian Corn 1 was harvested north, 6f the
Ohio and the Missouri. Hence, Pork and
Beef are to-day dearer in onr iparlcets than
they usually are or should be ; hence the
South is less bounteously supplied with
Northern Corn than she has usually been.
Wo believe the South grew more food in
1867 than in the average of the ton .prece
ding years; but she ;has received far less
from the West—in part because the yield
was less abundant than usual, and in part
because she was less able to pay. Hence,
scarcity and need throughout considerable
districts, especially those inundated in the
Spring of'67. Honcje, also, mercantile em
baraassments, and a decided falling off both
in the demand for‘fresh and in pay
ments for those already purchased.
But the Old World'has suffered far more
intensely than the 1 New. The failure of
crops in 1867, especially,™ the northern pro
vinces of Prussia, of Sweden, and it would
seem of Russia aiso, was beyond modern
precedent. Wheat, Rye, Barley, and Oats,
hut especially the three latter, form the
chief staples wheredn the poor subsist; and
these were all but destroyed throughout ex
tensive districts by severe, untimely frosts.
In Northern Sweden, the destruction was
so complete that, coming, as it did, on the
back of kindred disasters in: the impoediate
past, it suggests’&!presumption -tnatT—per
haps through the accumulation office, in
the circumpolar districts
that have nitherti?afforded adeqaate if hot
generous sustenance to the human family,
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL ie, 1868.
may have gradually become so inhospitable
as to be no longer inhabitable except for a
slender population of roving hunters and
fishermen. It would be a striking commen
tary on the current dreams of human pro
gress.and terrestrial, melioration if it should
soon be fpund to abandon to ro
ving savages large districts that have for a
thousand years subsisted millions of civil
ized, industrious, thrifty Christian people.
As yet, the data are too few and too new to
justify a positive conclusion. What is cer
tain is, that regions equal, in area to France
must be supplied with food aDd seed by
charity, or their next Winter will be even
harder and more fatal than the las#. And,
thus far, their appeals for relief seem to
have been very inadequately heeded and
responded, to, .whether by governments or
people.
Algeria.has never been prosperous under
French rule, though we might, perhaps,
omit: the'qualification. , The'French have
nevqr been brilliantly successful as coloni
zers; and/thoy seetn to haveijeven worse
lfick in fheir, African copquWtt than else
where. Their rule is generally hated there;
their industrial enterprises rarely prosper;
after nearly forty years’ possession, they
•remain, mer.ely v encaruped in ,Algeria, as the
Turks are said to be in Ehrope ; and, al
! though able easily'to overbear resistance,
they have hardly yet succeeded in softening
'hi* ltHUtihg* hntipathly.C 'tTihditetrible famine
now waging, and of which no mitigation
Beems„to"; i have r been effected, will doubtless
intensify hatred, though it can hardly im
pel it, in fuil.yibW.hf the "disparity of forces,
to assunib the- actiye form of rebellion. Al
geria will remain French ; but she threatens
to bo even a'more unprofitable, burdensome
possession iti the future than she has been
in thepa'st.
Must we conclude that* Mother Earth is
-WeSmiiipiugysirc^nftgidil&adging in her old
jage^— less bounteously
the efforts of’lier children, and threatens to
curtail their allowance? It surely seems
remarkableithktjdn this age of increased
efficiency and improved machinery, when
the labor of eaeh'person employed converts
more cotton or wool-,into serviceable fabrics
in one day than it fortherly'did in ten, and
when ingeniously contrived planters, tillers,
mowers,. reajjqra, threshers, &c., &e., have
largelyfiridreased the yield of grain to the
day’s works, there should appear to be com
paratively less food produced than in past
ages, when the plow wa@ a forked stick, and
•the sickle cut our grain, at ten times the
present cost. But oiir ingenious modern
machinery enables us .to exhaust “the .earth
of.Tertiiity much,.faster than our fathers
could, while human effort, no longer concen
trated mainly on Agriculture, now woos
success in; a thousand'diverse fields. Let us
at least hope that the present famine is but
transient-;—that there will soon, be more
workers of the ,fields,. fewer idlers in the
cities, and the sun of next September will
ripen a bountiful, adequate harvest all over
the globe;-*— JY. Y. THtMfie. - ‘ ♦ •
SMALL FARMS IN EUROPE.
There is little in Holland, or Belgium, or
Switzerland, or France, which a large Eng
lish farmer would call good farming; there
are no steam plows, few threshing machines,
none bf that vast apparatus, l which we fool
ishly suppose indispensable to good,farming;
but there is, in all these countries, a more
m inu.te, a more careful cultivation of the
soil, and : there is also’, that which should be
the principal object ib all farming—a larger
amoimjt of produce from the land, larger
quantities of food for the people; which is
obtained, without exhausting the soil.
The impression which has'grown upon,
my mind, as I have Visited these various
countries, is very like that which Jupiter
addressed to the wagoner. If we want
meat we must put onr shoulder to the wheel
and help ourselves. We must look for
wealth from better-tillage of our own soil.
That which ti people raises bj 7 its own tillage,
is inherently cheaper than that which it im
ports. Those who grow 'Corn and raise
meat are the best consumers of the manu
facturer.— Fisher.
MUTTON vs. POKE.
Physicians recommend! mutton ,as the
most wholesome meat, the easiest digested,
and best suited to invalids ; while pork, as
every body knows, is the most unwholesome
flesh eaten.’ In England, mutton is a favo
rite dish, and'We apprehend it is to this,
rather than roast beef, that the Englishman
owes his robust health,and rosy complexion.
Oiir people eat'too much pork and too little
mutton. And yet, as a contemporary well
remarks, “ mutton can be produced pjund
for pound at less than half the price of pork;
yields more nourishment when eaten: and
keeping sheep does not exhaust a farm to
the extent feeding hogs does. Sheep can be
kept during the winter on hay and turnips,
or mangel wurtzel, or sugar beet, while
hogs will not do without at leaßt some
corn.”

HOWE & STEVENS’
Family Dye Colors.
CAUTION.
AtL persons who keep llowe & Stevens* Family Dye Colors for
sale can be relied on ibr fair dealing, for the reason that they cos;
the retailer twenty-live cents per dozen more then any other kinds
of Dyes iu the market, while he retails them all at tlie same price,
cpnsequf-ntly he makes twenty-five cents per dozen more b> seil
'ing :m inferior article.
We publish this caution to guard our customers against imposi
tion. Accept none but Howe <fc Stevens’ Patent Family Dye Ool
ous. They are the original inventors of an improvement which
originated this branch o< business-, and made dying a lioiuvsiic
art. They have had. also, five years’ experience iu this •particular
business, aml have bceu constantly improving ilie quality of their
Dyes. All the colors, both iu liquid ami ponder farm, are
iuctured by the undersigned, arid we can supply our custom r»
with cither, Tlie liquids do not require so much time in oving;
but the powder colors will c dor tlie most goods, and cost tnu
same per package. In coloring blocks, browns ami drabs,
would advise the use of the powder colors in preference to life
liquid, unless for ribbons or some very small article.
