"Why is it," asked tho scribo, as he looked timidly over tho desk side at the big manufacturer, "when you lirst begin to sharpen a lead pencil, that tho lead is so good and it sharpens so nicely, and as you get nearer the other end, or the rubber or metal tip, tho lead gets worse and worse?" "You only find that phenomenon in an ordinary grade, not in tho best pen cils," answered tho big manufacturer, much moro suavely than the sorilK) hail exported ho would. "To find out why it is, let us see just how load pencils are made. The wood of a poucil, you know, is cedar, the lead, as it is called, graph ite. Whito wood is sometimes used, but; only for inferior grades. In general, the quality of the wood can bo deter- 1 mined very largely by its color? Tho redder, the better quality; the more yel low, tho poorer. Our wood comes to us all from Florida—in slabs, each exactly a pencil's leugtli and of six pencils' width. A machine makes six length wise grooves in each of tho slabs, and in these grooves is tho graphite laid. On tho grooved and graphitcd slab is glued another grooved slab, so closely that the line of joining cannot be seen. Now comes in tho answer to your ques tion. This combination of graphite and board must be cut into six pencil shapes. It tan be done all at once, or in six separate cuttings. ISlark tho difibreuce. If the machine of six saw bla lea is used, just after tho middle is passed, tho tendency is for the part already out to spring and bend to either side. Parts of the wood below are, in consequence, tightly compressed, and the graphite within softened or broken. With the singlo saw blade all this is avoided. Of course, using the single saw blade, tho cost, is much increased. And so in the high-priced pencil is the lead tho same all the way through. "The shaping of the pencil, tho mak ing it round or hexagonal, is done at tho same time the slabs are sawed into their parts. The better grades of pencils then go through an immense amount of smoothing and finishing. The varnish is then put on, tho pencil being forced by machinery through fixed brushes wet with it. This particular process is ro pouted several times. The polishing thereafter is done mainly by hand." So saying, the big manufacturer re turned to his desk and correspondence), —[New York Mail and Express. A European Hair Mart. Tho demand for false hair at. the pres ent day is Very great.

VOQELER CO.. Baltimore. Hi. ' An Editor's ExpetfenC6.' Major Sidney Herbert, n well.-known journalist (a i agricultural circles, writes Aprl. IBtb, 1880: Bome ' five years ago 1 wrote a letter stating that Swift's Specific had cored inc of severe rheumatism. Since that time I have had no return of tlio rheumatic troubles, although frequently exposed to the influ ences that produced former attacks. Several of my friends had a similar experience, and urc firm in their conviction that 8. 8. S. brought a permanent cure. The searching power of this medicine is shown in the fact that it developed a scrofulous taint that was conspicuous In my blood over thirty years ago, and has removed tho last trace of it. I hove also tested 8. S. 8. as a tonic aftor a severe attack of malarial fover, which kept mo in bed for three months, and am convinced tnat Itn curative and strengthening properties Insured my recovery from that illness, as 1 was in a very low condition of health.
