At TO WETTING PENCILS.

The act of putSffig » lead pencH to thfe* tongue ■ to btL'ora writing, which is habitual’with many people. fs J one *ofr* the ©<Mit!e*“*fi<w which it is hard to V iftve anyrdrason, tuiless it began* in -Hhe ■wys •‘Nfcin pencils vert> poorer than how. hnd was continued by example to the next generation. A lead pencil should never be wet. It hardens the lead and ruins the pencil. This fact is known to newspaper men and stenographers. But nearly every one else does wet a pencil before using It. The fact was definitely settled by a newspaper clerk away down East Being of a mathematical turn of mind, he ascer tained by actual count that of 80 persons who came into his office to write an advertisement or a church notice, 49 wet a pencil in their mouths before using it. Now, this clerk aVays uses the best pencils, cherishing a good one with something of a pride a soldier feels in his gun or his- sword, and It hurts his feelings to have bis pencils spoiled. But politeness and business considerations require him to lend his pencil scores of times a day. And often, after it had been wet till it was hard and brittle and refused to fiaark, his feelings would overpower him. Finally he got some cheap pencils and sharpened them and kept them to lend. The first person who took up the Btock pencil was a drayman, whose breath smelt of onions and whisky. He held the point in his mouth and soaked it several minutes, while he was torturing himself in the effort to write an advertisement for a missing bulldog. Then a sweetlooking young lady came into the office , with kid gloves that buttoned half the length of her arm. Sh‘ picked up the came old pencil and pressed it to her dainty lips preparatory to writing an advertisement for a lost bracelet. The clerk would have stayed her hand, even at the risk of a box of the best pencils, but he was too late. And thus that pencil passed from mouth to mouth for a week. It was sucked by people' of all ranks and stations, and all degrees of cleanliness and uncleanliness. But ’twere well to forbear. Surely no one who reads this will ever aga’n wet a lead pencil.—Graphil-

u ..> -j. -at 3ak3r's Some persons, including a lew encyclopaedists, are inclined to think that the baker’s dozen originated when heavy fines were considered necessary to counterbalance light weights, and the bakers, in order to insure full weight, took the precaution to add an additional unit. Some have called ft the devil’s dozen, because thirteen was the number of witches who used to ride their broomsticks to the “Black Mass” of Satan. The baker’s great book in Astor Library has anotheir story of its origin: Jan Pieterson, of Amsterdam, was a good church man, but nevertheless he was afraid of being bewitched. Ob the last night of 1654 he sat in his bakeshop trying to keep out the eyil spirits by priming himself with a glass of good spirits. Sales had been brisk. There were no customers in the shop for the moment, and he sat back, meditating on the gains he would make on the morrow, when the fresh New Year’s cakes were put on sale. He was startled by a sudden rap. An ugly woman pushed the door open. “Give me a dozen New Year’s cookies,” she cried in a shrill voice. The shrillness of her voice did not mean anything to his slow Dutch mind. It only annoyed him. “Well, then, you needn’t speak so loud,” said Jan. “I’m not deaf.”

“A dozen!” she screamed. “Give me a dozen. Here are only twelve.” “Well, then, twelve is a dozea.” “One more! I want a dozen.” “Well, you will not get it.” The hag left the shop, but from that night Jan had trouole. The shop seemed to be bewitched. His cakes were stolen. Either his bread was so light that it soared up the chimney or so heavy that the supports of the oven gave way beneath the burden. His wife became deaf; his children went wild. Hlb trade took wings an settled In the shops of his riva Three times the old woman return t _. and each time was directed to the devil’s sactum. At last, in despair, the baker called upon Bt. Nicholas to assist him. The venerable patron of Dutch feasts delivered a lecture on charity, telling the trembling man to be more generous in the future. Then he vanished and in his place stood the hag, who repeated her demand for one more c&ke. Jan acceded, whereupon she exclaimed, “The spell Is broken; from this time one dozen is thirteen.” Taking from the counter a gingerbread effigy of St Nicholas, she made the subdued Dutchman lay his hand upon It and. swear to give more liberal measure in the future. Since that time thirteen has been called a baker’s dc,::en.

NEW WEBSTER STORY.

Illustrating the Statesman's Views of '4 Trade. The incident ln*\he life of Daniel Webster gtmi by ‘Dr. Hale Under »Neteo* ana -Querles*’ In 'Ah* Tramanrtpty n<E long ago .reminds me of an®th*r mood in the life of that distinguished man. which.,was related tom? by the late Joshua SewArdT Mi*, jft. ward came to Woburn froth Boston in the early mveht&e and bought the farm now owned *by Eh C. Qaleman, where he livedumUl.hls death in 1885. He was a native of the “Peace City," N. H., from which place her came to Boston in his early manhood and later engaged in the livfery business off School street on land now covered byi the rear part of the Parker House. He was a genial, social, active young man, and in a short time many of the business and professional men of the city were his friends and patrons. Daniel Webster, them in the fullness of his masterly manhood, was his particular friend and most favored patron. One year Webster was early engagied to deliver the Fourth of July oration in the city. A public procession was then am important feature of the celebration, and the orator of the day was the chief person of distinction in the parade. In those days there were no fourwheeled vehioles for convenience or for pleasure. A chaise was the proper carriage for gentlemen to use. Webster was popular and proud as popular. He saw no chaise in the city as good as he desired to appear in on that important occasion, and, therefore, he ordered one to be built by the principal carriage maker of the city (Sargent. I think it was), to be ready for usq on that day> In the morning of the Fourth hq appeared at Seward’s stable office and requested Seward to go to the carriage shop and gqt the chaise he had ordered. Seward harnessed a horse and went to the carriage shop as directed, and told the proprietor he had come for Mr. Wqbster’s chaise. The .proprietor, in firm and measured tones that could not be misunderstood, asked: “Did Mr. Webster send the money to pay for the chaise?”

In relating this to me Seward said: “I was never so astonished in my life! I should have been less surprised if he had raised his fist and knocked me down! I had no thought that there was a man living who had ever heard of the great Webster, the godlike Daniel, who would or woo could have denied him any request it was possible to grant, i could only say: ‘He sent no money by me.’ ‘Then,’ said the proprietor, ‘tell him he can have the chaise when he sends the money to pay for it, and not till then.’ ” Seward said he was never in such a dilemma in all his life. He could not go back and tell that great man, whom he adored, that he could not have the chaise till he paid for it. And yet he must go back and tell him something. But what could he tell him ? Finally, after much thought and study it occurred to him that he had a new chaise which he would offer to Webster and tell him that the varnish on the one he had ordered was not yet hard, and that it would be liable to injury if taken out in the heat and dust' of that public day. Webster met Seward at -the door when he returned and before Webster could ask a Seward was telling him the Story he had invented on the way home. Webster made no reply, but accepted Seward’s statement as true, and . rode in his chaise that day.

About a week later Webster came again and said to Reward, “I think the vhf’nish on that chaise Is hard now And you may go down and get it” Seward said. “With a heavy heart I harnessed a horse and went again to the shop. I knew I should not get the chaise and I was not disappointed. In the same manner I was asked the same question as before. I could not invent another story that would be credible and was, therefore, compelled to go back and tell him the truth.” Webster was impatiently waiting Seward’s return, and when in hailing distance he called to Seward in a tone °t, voioe that indicated surprise, “Where is the chaise* What is the trouble?” Seward approached him more closely and to tones so low that no one about could overhear him replied, “He told me to tell you that you could have the chaise vhen you send the money to pay for it and not tiifore.” Webster stood silent an instant, and then with voice trembling with emotion, exclaimed, “My God, Jqshua, did he «ay that?” and sank Jnto a nearby phsjr and cried as would a deeply aggrieved child of six summers.

Seward said, in conclusion: “I have seen him in church, standing during prayer as was the custom then, among his neighbors and friends with that massive head uncovered, looking more like a god than a man; I hare 9een him on the platform swaying strong men by tbe majesty of his presence and the power of his oratory, and I have seen him in his w eakness, almost helpless, pitiable, his face Pushed with grief and wet with tears of anguish. Yes, I have seen him In all his moods, and yet I have never seen another man who could compel so much of my love and my admiration as New Hampshire's greatest son, Daniel Webster.” —H, C.
