How Slate Pencils are Made.

Broken slate fiom the quarries is put into a mortar run by steam, and pounded into small particles. Thence it goes into the hopper of a mill, which runs it into a bolting machine, such as is need in flooring mills, where it is bolted, the fine almost impalpable floor that results being takes into a mixing tub, where a small quantity of steatite flour, manufactured in a similar manner, is added, and the whole is then made into a stiff dough. This dough is thoroughly kneaded by passing it several times between iron rollers. Thence it is carried to a table where it is made into chargee—that is short cylinders, four or five inches thick, and containing from eight to ten pounds each. Four of these arc placed in a strong iron chamber or retort, with a changeable nozzle, so as to regulate the size of the pencil, and subjected to t remendoos hydraulic pressure under which the composition is pushed through the nozzle in a long cord like a slender snake sliding oat of a hole, and passes over 1 a sloping table slit at right angles with the cords to give passage to a knife which cuts them into lengths. They are then laid on boards to dry, and after a few hoars are removed to sheets of corrugated zinc, tha corrugations serving to prevent the pencils from warping daring the process of baking, to which they are next subjected in a kiln, into which super-heated steam is introduced in pipes, the temperature being regulated according to the requirements of the articles exposed to its influence. From the kiln articles go to the finishing and packingroom, where the ends are thrust for a second under rapidly-revolving emery wheels, and withdrawn neatly and smooth ly pointed ready for use. They are then packed in pasteboard boxes, each contain ing 100 pencils; and these boxes in turn are packed for shipment in wooden boxes containing 100 each, or 10,000, pencils in s shipping box, Nearly all the work is done by hoys, and the cost, therefore, is light.

A Sensible Girt.

The other day a girl of our acquaintance, who is pursuing a select course of study in one of the collegiate institutions of the city, examined the printed curriculum with reference to deciding what study she would take np in the next term. While consulting about the matter, she read over the long list of text-books on science, language, literature and mathematics, when she exclaimed : “HI tell yon what I would like takStudy—l would like to study medicine. I don’t mean that I want to be a physician, and practice, but only know what to do at home when anything happens. lam sore it will be more useful to me than” —and she turned to the prescribed coarse of study —“than spherical trigonometry, navigation, etc. We cannot ran for a doctor every time anybody sneezes or coughs, and I would like to know what to do for one who is a little sick.” Here is a matter concerning which yonng women need some simple but careful instruction. But who gives them any ? As daughters in the family, they can repeat the dates of Grecian and Roman wars, work ont the intricate problems of algebra, and give the technical names of all the bones in the body; but if the baby brother left in their charge burns his hand or is seized with the croup, bow many of them know the best thing to do while waiting for the doctor ? And when, as wives and mothers, the dnties of life increase, how many of them have any practical knowledge which will help them to meet calmly and intelligently the every day experiences of accidents and illness which are inevitable in every family.

The “Roll Bengol Tagger."

These are little Johnny’s observations on the “Roil Bengol Tagger,” as communicated to the San Francisco Aryonaut: “One time there waa a man who had a tagger, and the tagg&r it was a sho and the man tuk the money for to get in. The man had a big paper naild onto the tagger’s den. and the paper it said, the paper did: *The Roil Bengol Tagger, sometimes called the Monnerk of the Jangle. Hands off. No Tech in the Tagger!’ The monnerk of the jungle it was always a layin down with ifit nose tween its pox, and the folks wich had paid for to get in thay was mad cos it wudent wock, and rore like dissent thunder. Bat the aho man he said, That’s ol rite when I git the new cage done, but this is the same cage which the offle feller broke dut of in Oregon; time he eat up the seventeen men and their families. Then the folks would ol stand back and took in whispers while the tagger slep. But one day a feller wich was drank he took to panchin the tagger with the mast head of his ombreller, wich stampeeddd the oddience wild, and the wimmin folks they stnd onto the chairs and hollered like ft was a mouse, bat the drank chap lie kep a jobbing the monnerk of the jangle crewel. Pretty soon the monnerk it bellered offle and riggled, bat the feller kep polkin like he was fireman to a steam engin. Bimeby the monnerk it jumped onto its him feets and shackled itself oat of ita akin and rolled np its aleefe and spit onto its hands and spoke np and sed: ‘I bedam if I can’t jnat whollip the peagreen staffin’ oat o’ the guin-dasted galoot wich has been a proddin this ere tagger!’ And the od diene* they waa a stonish.” *■ *

Reading Servants.

There are many women who complain if their housemaids show a fondness for reading, even in moments of leisure; but they could hardly find the kind of service they like in the servant who cannot read. Did any of you ever notice the difference between the educated and the uneducated housekeeper? The one brings all her intelligence to bear upon her work, the other works with a stolidness that betrays her sluggish brain. If all servant girls were educated, one would save money even at a higher rate of wages than by employing uneducated women. One of uie first business houses in New York, known as well in Europe as in this country, furnishes books, teachers and apparatus for a thorough instruction of all their employes in the common branches and the rudiments of science and mechanics, requiring them to give an hour daily at recitation, for which they prepare out of work hours. No deduction is made because of this hour’s absence from the work room or ou account of instruction or school books. The house gets its return from outlays of this sort from the increased skill and intelligence of its employes. If the house mistress can feel and take an interest in the substantial improvement of her domestic help and make them sensible of it, she will have a basis for expectation that they in tarn will be conscientioas in their regard for her interests and her rights. In all stations as life intelligence is to be praised.

Climate and Complexion.

There is a great diversity of opinion as to the differences of complexion to be observed among mankind. Roughly speaking, the hue of the skin varies with the latitude, the fairer races having their homes at a distance from the equator, the darker within or near the tropics. This fact would seem to point to the position of the sun with reference to those on whom he shines as the cause. Bat the question presents difficulties which this supposition does not aid in solving. At the same distance from the equator we find the fair Englishman the yellow Mongolian, and the copper-colored Indian. To the north of the white Russian and Finn live the swarthy Lapp and Samoyed. North of the Caucasus are dark-skinned Tartars, sodth of R fair-complexioned Circassians. The aborigines in America vary lees in color than the natives of the Old World. None of them are as fair as the Swede, none as black as the negro of Congo, and those living in Brazil on the equator are not the darkest. There are blacker men in Australia and New Guinea than in Borneo and Sumatra, though these islands are on the equator and those are not. The Shillooks of the upper Nile, who live about 10 degrees north latitude, are blacker than the Minbutte, who are six degrees farther south. .14.

A Balky Horse.

Absolute brutality towards a balky bone of the stubborn kind is of no avail, but something most be done to make the snivel forget this determination. Once, in the streets of a town in Sacramento county, we saw a buckskin-colored diminutive bone, attached to a backboard, baffle for boon a large and energetic crowd of men and boys. First he was whipped; then clubbed; then a dosea men put their hands to the wheels and ran the vehicle upon the hone, who sat down in the harness, looked the quintessence of stubbornness, held back for “I b* was worth. Twenty more men took bold of the wagon, and managed to slide the quadruped a few rods on his haunches. Bat he would not styrt. Then a hose was attached to a faucet, and a large stream of water waa turned loose upon him. In a few minutes the animal laid down, and so remained motionless. Horses were now bitched in front to drag the stubborn brute, «d they moved him a few rods with great flffleulty, and this, too, was abandoned. There was talk of fire and brimstone, but those were ruled out, and the «mw«i wad unhitched and led to the stable, m »«ter of the situation. The next day, however, when once more harnessed, be had evidently forgotten hie resolve, andhe went off without demur. But the markeTvSneof inch a hotse is not extremely great. w • | 1.1 t- ; ■ Everybody should note the fact that the best remedy known for cough*, colds, etc.. Is Dr. BulPs Gough byrap.

Value and Use of Bones.

Until the middle of the present century few of even the most intelligent farmer* in the world knew of the value of bones for enriching land. A few had noticed the remarkable growth as well as the wonderfill productiveness of grape vines planted over the skeleton of an auirnal, but it did not occur to three persons to collect bones, reduce them, and apply them to land planted to ordinary field and garden crops. The great value of bones consists in the amount of phosphorus they contain. This substance is essential to the growth of the most valuable food plants, which gradually but steadily remove it front the soil. It Is moat readily and cheaply restored to the soil by the us* of bones. Id addition to phosphorus, bones contain lime and considerable ammonia. Entire bones remain in the ground a long time before they aro decomposed to such an extent that they are appropriated by plants. It is extremely difficult to pulverize them without the aid of powerful and expensive machinery. If they are first burned they may be pounded np very readily, bat the action of heat drives off ammonia. This ammonia is valuable in promoting the growth of plants, and it is also of great use in hastening the decomposition of the bony structure. Bones may be rendered sufficiently soft tc be easily reduced by covering them with fresh horse manure, and allowing them to remain in it for several weeks; by placing them ia tight vessels and covering tnem with wood ashes occasionally moistened, or by boiling them in strong lye. The last is the quickest as well as the most satisfactory method of reducing them, if one has a kettle of the capacity of a barrel. Treated in either of these ways, they should be pulverized and mixed with fine earth or dried mack before they are applied to the land. *iV ■ 't a* %

Defining Poetry.

“What is poetry ?” is a conundrum we find in an esteemed contemporary. When a young lady receives a letter from her lover, and finds at the omega of it those soul-inspiring lines, “The rose is red, the violet’s blue, no knife can cut our love in two,” she is willing to make oath that sweeter poetry was never written. The world is full of poetry. The little girl of six summers, with heavenly blue eyes, laughing dimples, flnffy golden hair, pink cheeks and pink sash, is a poem, and ten years hence Borne young man will want to metre and form a oouplet. The yellow cur going “kiting” down the street, with tinware attachment, is a poem—of the doggerel order. The sad-eyed fisherman, who stanza ’long the river’s edge four hours without getting a bite, is a verse—a verse to standing there any longer; so epics up his lines, which have not fallen in pleasant places, hnd concludes torou-deau-wu home. And the tuft of tender grass that appears after the snows of winter havedeparted, is a spring poem—but not the kiud the editor “sits down upon.” The man in the white pants at the picnic does that. And now if you don’t know what jioetry is, we give it ap.—Norristown Herald.

Artificial Perspiration.

The Medical I’iess and circular, 1880, informs us that in a communication to the French Academy, Professor F.ort raises against the question of prematnre interments. One fact he mentions is, that he was enable to restore to life a child three years old, by practicing artificial respiration on it in four hours, commencing three hours and s tadT after ;apparent death. Another case was oorniMßHioated to him by Dr. Fouraol, of Billanconro, who, in July, 1878, reanimated a nearly drowned person after fonr hours of artificial respiration. This person had been in the water ten urinates, and the doctor arrived one hour after asphyxia. Professor Fort insisted also on the utility of artificial respiration in case of poisoning, in order to eliminate the poisons from the lungs and glands. The length of time it is desired to practice artificial respiration in any case of apparent death from asphyxia, Professor Fort has not yet determined, bnt his general conclusion is that it should be maintained perseveringljr for several hours.

The Railway up Vesuvius.

The station is situated on a level spot on the west side of the mountains, about half an hour’s walk from the observatory. The constructors of the railways have adopted the American doable iron rope system. There are two lines of rails, each provided with a carriage divided into two comportments, and capable Of holding six persons. While on ■ carriage goes up the other comes down, thus establishing a counterpoise, which considerably economizes file steam of the stationary traction engine. The incline is extremly steep, commencing at 46°, increasing to 63°, and continuing at 60° to the summit. Every possible precaution has been taken against accident, and the railway is protected against possible flows of lava by aa enormous w&ll. The ascent is made in eight to ten minutes, while before it required from one to two hours. To obtain the necessary supply of water, large covered cisterns have been constructed, which in winter will be filled with the snow that often falls heavily on Vesuvius. This snow will be quickly melted by the internal heat* and, tMsides the water thus obtained, the frequent rainfall will also be conducted into the cisterns. trillV>.:

What a Coin Did.

A coin is in itself a history. Thera was once a lost city which owes its place to a coin. For over a thousand years no one knew where Pandosia was. History told ns that at Pandosia King Pyrrhus collected thoee forces with which ne overran Italy, and that he established a mint there; but no one could put their finger on Pandosia. Eight yean ago a coin came under the sharp eyes of a numismatist. There were the letters Pandosia inscribed on it, bat, what was better, there wae an emblem, indicative of a well-known river, the Crathis. Then everything was revealed with the same certainty as if the piece of money had been an atlas, and Pandosia, the mythical dty, was at once given its proper position in Bruttium. Now, a coin may be valuable for artistic merit, but when it elucidates a doubtful point in history or geography its worth is very much enhanced. This silver coin, which did not weigh more, than a quarter of a dollar, because it cleared up the mystery of Pandosia, was worth to the British Museum 91,000, the price they paid for it

Paper Clay.

In view of the rapid rise in the price of paper, and the complaints of the papermakers with regard to the scarcity and increasing costliness of ail sorts of paper stock, It is gratifying to see that one source of such raw material is not likely soon to foil us. Whatever may happen to rags, wood palp, and the thousand other sorts of fibrous material supposed to enter into the composition of paper, the clay bank promises to be inexhaustible True, the majority of people who pay a high price for paper nave a prejudice against that material, but evidently the owners of the day hanks have not; for, in a prominent journal devoted to the paper trade, they boldly print a large cut of their “day works,” showing a long stretch of snowy Muff out of which a huge section has been cut, presumably to supply the needs of “first-class mills. East and West,” to whose owners they refer for evidence of the excellence of their clay. —Scientific American.

Carious Experiment with Light.

If a piece of wood be placed in a decanter of water, and the focus of a large burning glass be thrown upon it, the wood will be completely charred, though the sides of the decanter through which the rays pass will not be cracked nbr in any way affected, nor the water perceptibly warmed. If the wood be taken out, and the rays be thrown on the water, neither the vessel nor its contents will be in the least affected; hut if a piece of metal be put into the water it soon becomes too hot to be touched, and the water will presently boil. Though pare water alone, contained in a transparent vessel, cannot be heated, yet, if by a little ink it be made of a dark color, or the vessel itself be blackened, the effect speedily takas place. Potatoes any time of the year can be made mealy if boiled in salt and water and drained aad then covered with a thick towel and left in the back of the range five minutes. To retain the color of any vegetable, plunge it into cold water after boiling. Cooks make the mistake of boiling things too much. After reaching the boiling point meats should simmer. The toughest meats can be made tender by so doing. It is always best to under season rather than to over season food. When anything is accidentally made too salt it can be counteracted by adding a tables poonful of vinegar and a tablespoonful of sugar. Meat of any kind should not be washed, but wiped with a towel to preserve the juiees and quality.

Hari-Kari. —Hari-kari is a form of suicide performed iu Japan by catting open the abdomen by two crosswise cuts with a short sword. Neatly all Japanese officials carry on their person two swords; one long, to fight an enemy with, and the other short, to perform hari-kari With, if their own. honor is at all damaged. It is a very common practice, ashy so doing a man’s honor is eared. Officials are often commanded to kill themselves by this method when by any act they have fallen into disgrace, and by so doing their children inherit all their property and their father’s position, bat not so if the suicide has taken place unbidden. Persons who have suffered unendurable affront, which cannot otherwise be satisfied, sometimes kill themselves in this way, and thus satisfy their revenge on the enemy.

Awsweb You* hrviTATiOHa—lf a person speaks to another on the street, and that other takes no notice of the salutation, it is a clear case of insult. But then are hundreds of people who are noticed every week by invitations to sotiaf gatherings, and who insult the 'senders by taking no notice of .them until they go to the party. Hien they pat in a bright and cheery gppeanaM, unconscious that anything wrong has happened. There is hardlygiven in a city a social event of say kind, —whether a Wedding, a reception, er what not—where two-thirds of the invitations are acknowledged; and yet there -is bat cue rale in the matter.

It makes a beanfor the table, bat is no better extracted home. All comb is wax, sax in the stomach is perfectly indigestible. Extracted honey is the pure liquid honey to it is taken from the combs by the bcasy-slinger, free from any foreign admixture. It is entirely different from what is known in this market as strained honey. Consumers help to impose upon themselves by the Arise idea that pure honey will not granulate. They dears ungnanulated honey, and dealers will attempt to supply the demand. Almost all pore honey will nnlate when exposed for some tune zht and cold. The granulated state is a fine evidence of pare honey. Much

of the jar honey heretofore sold in the markets, arid recommended not to granulate, is a very inferior article, composed largely of glucose or some inferior substance. Granulated honey can be redneed to its liquid state in a few moments, by placing the jar in warm wfiteri When thus liquefied, it so remains for some time before again crystallising. Consumers may be sure of a good, wholesome article by purchasing. granulated honey and reducing it. Moral Courage.—ln all the instances of moral courage we have read or seen, we remember none that arose so near to the sublimity and grandeur as this: An old soldier of the Grand Army was sent by his chief upon a dangerous and secret mission. He execotedit fiuthfully, hat his absence was discovered and he was tried for desertion. Napoleon was present at the trial. The soldier looked pleadingly into his face for permission to clear himself by revealing the truth, but that face was cold as a none, and a finger was placed upon the stern lips. The soldier bared his grey head, held his peace, and endured his punishment in silence; bat ever after muttered, with the wild pathos of insanity ü ßilence a la Mori F In order to destroy toe contagious germs which remain in the bodies of such animals ■as have succumbed to a pestilential disease, a new method oY cremation has been invented by which toe infected animals are quickly and totally destroyed.
