• and the shorter pencils are.made also* from *jsmall fragments of slate. It is an easy bit iof ciphering-to make out that pencils at$6,75 a case of 10,000 are worth about two-thirds of a mill, or one-fifteenth of a cent,each. !

Pencils imported from Germany sell inthis market at about the price of the na-tive product. The American labor is muchbetter paid than the German labor, but

I the cost of the American pencil is notj much greater than that of the German pen-cil because machinery is so much more usedhere than abroad. As to slatea, they areproduced of all sizes and for a great num-ber of purposes, Notwithstanding themany compositions invented to serve asblackboards, slate is still used for tbe pur-

| pose, and immense slabs of the finest qual-ity are cut, smoothed and set up in school-houses. They will outlast any composi-tion,'and if properly cared for will always

; show a clear mark from the chalk crayon.Millions of slate pencils are used up year-ly in schools of all kinds, and if all the

: school slates were taken for roofing they' would roof a large city, according to a cor-respondent of the New York Sun and au-thority for the foregoing.

Literary Preferences of Stevenson.Certain opinions of Robert Loui3 Ste-

venson, as expressed in talk with friends,are related by the Pall Mall Budget. Hispassion for Dumas he was never tired ofproclaiming, and for Scott, with limita-tions, which he became more conscious ofas ho grew older. Walt Whitman, heaverred, "blew into space a thousand cob-webs of genteel and ethical illusions," thewhich he did not farther specify. He''should be much of a hound," he said,"if he lost his gratitude to Herbert Spen-cer," in whose work he found "a spirit ofhighly abstract joy, plucked naked like analgebraic symbol, but still joyful." Heboasted of having been "the sedulousape" of Hazlitt, Lamb, Defoe, Hawthorne,Sir Thomas Browne, Wordsworth, Baude-laire, Obermann, Browning, and for amoment Swinburne, on whose bosom hesaid he reclined when he wrote "Mon-mouth, a Tragedy." Among bis othergreat admirations were St. Matthew, Mar-tial, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne andMeredith, "The Egoist" being his greatestfavorite among the works of that author.

B a m ' Cottage.One of the most Interesting spots in all

Scotland is the cottage at Alloway, nearAyr, In which Robert Burns was born onthe 25th of January, 1750. It is visitedevery year by thousands of people from allparts of the world, and the poet's birth-

FELLING A LEAKING TREE.the old New England Homestead givessome practical advice in the matter*He says: *

Instruct your blaoksmith to bend abar of iron about an inch thick and 16inches long in the shape of Fig. A. Cutthe side of the tree at C, withdraw thesaw, drive in the iron with the pointsBB, and the tree is ready for sawingfrom the opposite side. When the treeis sawed nearly through, the saw maybe withdrawn, the iron removed and thesawing completed from the first cat.

The new edition of the Massachusettscatalogue of abandoned farms showsthat only about 2 per cent of the farmsin the state are pnt in that category.The expense to the state in issuing thesecatalogues of abandoned farms, whichare sent free on application to the stateboard of agriculture, has been since 189112,360,81.

Vegetables Under Glass.Boston gardeners have for about 50

years grown lettuce for the New Yorkmarket* and even now it is probable thatmore than half of the lettuce grown nearBoston is consumed in the great metrop-olis. At first it was grown only in hot-beds, and gardeners seemed to thinkthat it could not be grown of good qual-ity unless within a few inches of theglass, but about 28 years ago some ofthe gardeners of Newton and Belmontbegan to experiment in building green-houses for growing lettuce. It was soonfound, however, that lettuce equallygood grew at several feet distant fromthe glass, and that it was better to givethe roof more pitch in order to shedsnow and rain.

The houses now built for this purpose,according to a report made by the Mas-sachusetts Horticultural society, have a

, pitch of from 20 to 25 degrees, and somej of them are 400 feet long and 50 feet

wide, with a ridge 20 feet above thebeds. It is found that these houses are

| far better than hotbeds for winter grow-I ing of lettuce and cucumbers, and thej increase of glass during* the last fivej years has been Ghiefly in the line ofI greenhouses, while not a few additional

booses have been covered with old hot-bed sashes. The permanent glass roof,however, is preferable unless it is desired

| to remove the roof during spring or snm-' mer to work on the beds, as is still prao-: tised by some gardeners.

! —A Chinese Christian gave the fol-lowing reasons for giving up his tobacco-pipe—reasons which might have weightelsewhere than in China:—When readinghis bible his attention was often distractedby his pipe. When out preaching withone of the missionaries, his going off toget a smoke often delayed them. He hadjust taken the Holy Communion, and itseemed inconsistent to begin to smoketobacco directly afterward. It was a badexample for his children and grand-

: children. It was a useless habit. The| action was entirely his own, and appearedto b« prompted by the Holy Spirit—Christum Arbitrator.

ROOM IN WHICH BURSTS WAS BORN,day is kept np with great zeal. The pic-ture shows the kitchen of the cottage, wi thsome of the very furniture that the poet'sfather had. The " b o x " bed in the corner,made up in a recess in the room (sti l l acommon feature In many Scottish houses),is the bed in which Robert Burns firstsaw the light.

The Inventor of Bloomers.Mrs. Amel ia Bloomer, after whom the

garment known as the bloomer costumewas christened, died recently in CouncilBluffa, la. It was In 1851 that Mrs.Bloomer began fco wear the costume whichis now known throughout the Engl i shspeaking world as the bloomer. She w a sthen l iv ing at Seneca Falls, N. Y., whereshe published a temperance paper calledThe Lily. In addition to being a prohibi-t ion advocate, the paper also devoted con-siderable space to the subject of w o m a nsuffrage. A Mrs. Miller, w h o in 1851 paida vis it to Seneca Falls, appeared in the bi-furcated dress, and Mrs. Bloomer pub-lished a description of it. She and Eliza-beth Cady Stan ton adopted the style andadvocated' its general adoption. Mrs.Bloomer wore the costume on several lec-ture trips, and in this way it became asso-ciated wi th and finally known by hersame.

Turpentine on Soft Corns.A shoe that is too large is nearly as un-

comfortable as one that is too small andwill often be an active agent in produc-ing corns. Every point of contact shouldbe looked after, r.nd nowhere should therebe the least bind ng permitted.

For soft corns, dip a piece of linen clothIn turpentine and wrap it aiound the toe«n which the corn is situated, every nightand morning. It will prove an immediaterelief to the pain and soreness, and thecorn will disappear after a few days.

To Retemper the Blade of a Knife.Pocketknife blades are very unevenly

tempered. Even in so called standard out-lery some hlades are hard and some aresoft. For tbe latter there is no remedy,but the temper of hard ones can easily bedrawn slightly. Take a kitchen poker andheat it redhot. Have the blade that is tobe drawn bright and hold it on the pokerfor a moment. When the color runs downto violet blue, stick the blade in a piece oftallow or beef suet until cold.—Engineer.
