The n.iine lead pencil Is a misnomer
made correct by custom. The so called
leads ql a pencil are In reality a mix­
ture o f graphite nnd clay. Graphite la
n wortl derived from the Greek, mean­
ing ” tn write.” It Is a native mineral
carbon o f black color and brilliant me­
tallic I j*.ter. To the touch It feels :
smooth, somewhat like soapstone, nnd
It breaks In a very Auky manner under !
a very ;ight blow. It la so soft It will
leave a trace on paper. It la sometlniea
called plumbago nnd hna still another
nnmo - Mack lead — from which, of
conrae, we get the name lend pencil.
Graphite la found In the oldest rock
formations, nnd deposits are to he
found in various parts of the world,
the nuixt famous being those at Altai,
In Siberia, and at Tlcomlerogu. N. Y.,

A good. wide, open mouthed yawn Is
a sph-ndld thing for the whole laxly. A
yawn la nature's demand for rest.
Home people think they only yawn tie
cause they are sleepy. Hut this Is not
ao. You yawn because you are tired.
You may tie sleepy also, but that Is not
the real cause of your yawning. You
are sleepy because you are tired, and
you yawn because you are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning Just
yawn. Don't try to suppress It lie-
cause you tbink It ia liupolitc’ to yawn.
I ’ut your hand over your moutb If you
want to. but let the yawn come. And
If you are where you can stretch at the
same time that you yawn Just stretch
and yawn. This is nature’s way of
stretching nnd relaxing the musclea.
Don’t be afraid to opeu your moutb
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like It. Indeed. If you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn­
ing. there Is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to alt on a straight back
chair and. lifting your feet from the
floor. push them out In front of you as
far as possible, stretch the arms, put
the head back, open the moutb wide
and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted musclea wlU stretch and the
whole body will be rested. Do this two
or three times when you are tired, and
see wbat It will do for you.
Do you know that the siphon bottls
ordinarily used for vlchy, soda wuter
and other effervescent drinks la usually
charged with a pressure of from 120 to
100 pounds to tbe square Inch? The
danger likely to result from nn explo­
sion of one o f these little household ar­
ticles Is by no means Inconsiderable,
ami yet the average person handles »
siphon as though It were the most
burmless thing in tbe world.
There are two or three things to re­
member in handling siphons: Never
keep your siphons near the range, for
the unusual heat is more likely than
anything else to cause an explosion.
Don't subject the bottle to any sudden
eliunge of temperature whatever. For
Instance, If you keep your siphons In
the Ice liox—and that I* tbe best and
suicst place for them—don’t grasp the
glass part of the bottle with your warm
hand, for the sudden change of temper­
ature Is apt to cause an explosion. The
best way to carry a siphon at all time*
is by the metal top at the bead of the
bottle. It Is needless to say the great­
est care should be taken not to drop a
siphon, for an explosion is tbe inev­
itable result. When empty, tbe siphon
Is, of course, quite harmless.
That these bottles are considered a
gTeat source o f danger Is evidenced by
the fact that the courts Inevitably hold
the bottlers strictly liable for all dam­
ages resulting from the explosion of
one of them if even the slightest defect
In the manufacture of the bottle can
be shown.—Washington Time*.

Even many native New Yorkers do
not know bow the Bowery came by its
name, according to the Pittsburg Dis­
patch. which thus proceeds to tbelr en­
lightenment: No less a person than the
famous old one legged Governor Peter
Htuyvesant was responsible for It.
When the city o f New Amsterdam
sprang Into existence many farmers
from Holland came over to seek their
fortune In the new world, among them
old Peter. They settled outside the
town and proceeded to develop the
land by clearing away tbe woods »nd
planting It with grain, fruit trees and
ornamental shrubs they had brought
with them. Peter Htuyvesant called
his residence and grounds tbe Bon-
werie, and the lane connecting It with
New Amsterdam became known as
Bouwerle lane, the aettlement Itself
taking the name o f Bouwerte village.
