•"What` does that mean ?"
"Well, really," answered the hand

"Japan," laughed the fan, "I neve

well. But never mind that. Tell me
about society. What must one do t

"A plaee," laughed the handkerchie

who wet the pencil every time he wrote
a word. Then a sweet -looking young
lady came into the office, with kid
oves that buttoned the Whole length
f her arms, and hung in al row of but -
ons and button -holes half a yard over
er shoulders. She picked up the same
ld pencil and pressed it to her dainty
ips preparatory to writhig an advertise-
ent for a lost bracelet. The clerk
mild have stItyed her hand, even at
he the risk of a box of the best pencils ever
f ber-cated, but he was too late. And
t us that pencil passed from motith to
outh for a week. It was sucked by
ople of all ranks and stallions, and all•
er
degrees of cleanliness and unclea.nli-
npss. Finaily the clerk, who had. now
learned always to .keep a lending pencil
,e with him, went to see a friend who was
I just recovering from typhoid fever, and
1! who borrowed a pencil to write his ac-
knowledgments to kind 'neighbors who
a had watched with him. Next day that
r_ pencil went upon the counter, attached
w. to a pad of paper by a, strina▪ , and was
in tarn admitted to the mouth of every
caller. Alas, it had absorbed the fatal
typhoid germs, and one by one those
who sucked its poisoned point . were
brought low by the epidemic. But
we forbear. Surely no one who reads
this _will ever again wet a lead pencil!
Let it be .a terrible warning. -Denver

Pertaining to Pencils.
• A lead pencil should never be wet.
It hardens the lead and ruins the pen-
• cil. This fact is known to newspaper
men and stenographers. BLit nearly
every 'Clue else does wet a- pencil before
using it. This fact was definitely tet -
tied by a newspaper clerk away down .
East.. Being of a mathematical turn of .,
mind, he ascertained by actual -count,
that of 50 persons who came into.- an
office to write an advertisement or ,
church notice, 49 wet a pencil in their
• mouths before using it. Now; this '
clerk stiways- uses the best pencils that .
can be Drocured-in fact, ie a connois-
seur in pencil, cheriehin a a good
one -with. something of the pride a -sol-
dier feels in his gun or sword.; and it
.1surts- his feelings to have his pencil
spoiied.- But politeness and. business
considerations -required. him to lend
Itis peneil scores of times every dity.i
• And often, after it had. been -,wet,
till -if was hard and brittle, and refused
to mai-k, ti feelings would overpower
• - Finall3 he got some •Cheap pencils
and sharpenedthem, and kept them to
lend. - The first person who- took up the
Stock pencil was a dra.yman, whose
breath smelled of onions and whiskey.
Heleld the point in his mouth • and
soaked it for several minutes while he -
was torturing himself in the • effort to
write an advertisement for . a missing
bull dog. The next was a Granger,
whose roolOh Overflowed with tobac-
hundred and seventy-one,"
"And," added the ,sergeant, after the
laugh had subsided, "that's how I got
my shoulder straps."
d-oseph Gillott's Good Fortune
Joseph Gillott was a Sheffield artisan,
who, soon -after ,he became of age, was
compelled by stress of boverty, occa-
sioned by long depression of trade, to
leave the parental hearth and seek his
fortunes elsewlesre. He found his way
to Birininghtte:, and, entering the town
on foot, stopp. for rest , and refresh-
ment at an . public house iu Digbeth•
Lang after, v. tien Joseph Gillott had be-
come a -inileaniaire, and was buying
valuable properties in and . about the
town, this house came into the market
for sale. Gillett bought it; and when
it was being razed to the ground he
directed the wOrkmen to cut out a par-
ticular square of the settle; or seat run-
ning round the tap -room, and to send
., it to hie house to be made into a chair
that shretild be handed down as an heir-
loom in his family. It was the 'first
seat he had sat on in Birmingham, and
the place where he had spent his penny
before pushing on into the town.- whose
fame and wealth he was destined so
largely to share and to increase. He
.soon.found employment as a maker of
-buckles, a trade- then enjoying a tem-
porary spurt, and soon with character-
istic energy, was working on his' own
account. In tha garret of a very- small
• house in Bread street -a loaality mark-
ed down for destruction as a "slum,"
Gillott made buckles and other "steel
-toys." '..He made very excellent goods,"
said the merchant.who used to buy of
him, and "came fel. his money every
week." His work showed evidence of a
taste beyond that eonamonly potsessed
by a workman, alia- this insured hina
plenty of orders; while a native in-
geuuity enabled him to execute theta
in the readiest way, with the least
expenditure of time and: labor, and
from. mechanical meaanis
He was engaged to a young woman in
his own rank of life, whose. two broth-
ers-, John and William .Mitchell, were
in about the same style as himself on
the "new thing "-just beginning to be
inquired after --steel pens. Their sister
was helping them, and in the confidence
of courtship would Often explain to her
lover the nature --of her pursuits. No
doubt the brothers were workiln. by
"rule of thumb," producing, painful
labor of clipping, shearing, filing and
punching by hand, a fairly salallle arti:
cc. But Gillott saw at once that the
press could be made available for near-
ly every process, and that the produc-
tion could be multiplied ad in_linitunt.
Aided by his skill in tool-making, which
stood him in good stead during all great-
er part of his career, heworkal secretly
in his garret till he liad perfected. ap-
pliances which enabled him. to make
shigle-handed- as many pens as could be
macte by tweets- persoes in the same
time:under the - old ss`stem, and of a
better and more. uniform quality than
had yet been seen. He found read
sale for all he could make, and -in a
short time the demand grew faster than
his power of production, and be wanted
help. Then his sweethearteMiss Mit-
chell, agreed to the preposal that they
should marry and work together, and
reap the golden harvest while it was
ripe. after years :tn.. Oilfott uted
often to tell.how, on the very naorning
of his marriage, he began and. finished
a gross of pens, and sold them for :E7 4s
before going to church.
The Ternis "Badgerand
"Sucker."
It is popularly supposed that the
term -"badger" was applied to our peo-
ple -and State :because of the abundance
of these animals within our herders, but
such is not the fact. Previous to 1835,
there were, except at the military forts
and luissionar - d
. :c an trading . stations,
•
THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
and in the lead mines of the southwest,
very,few white people 'witted -within
the Territory, The characteristic term
of "badger" arose iu the lead. re-
gion. The millers were of two grades= -
those who stayed all the year round at
the "diggings." and those who came up
from Illinois only to operate during the
summer season. The permanent resi
-
dents, having but little time or material
to donstruct regular huts, weeb accus-
tomed to burrow into the hill -sides
semi-subterra,neau cells large: enough
for bunking and cooking purpehes. This
peculiar mode of life, being similar to
that of the badger -an animal then
.pleutiful in the lead regions -suggested
the term of "badger holes," as applied
both to the cavelike homes ancl the
sunken shafts of theresident miners,
while the latter themselves wdre term-
ed "badgers." On the other hand, the
Illinois itinerants would come pp in the
spring and return. in the fall, in the -
same manner as the "sucker " fishes ;
being in the diggings but a short season,
they did not siOk regular shafts and
_burrow under the earth along the min-
eral veins, -like • the "badger" i miners
but opened large quarry pits, seeking
for float lead and that ore whiOli could
be easily obtained near the . surface
The itinerants were called. "Suckers,'
because.of the similarity of their • mi
gratory habits to those ;of the catasto
mus, and to distinguish thezn from the
resident "badgers ;" Willie the open
pits scooped out by the 'former were
designated "sucker -holes." The- lead
mine region in Southwestern Wisconsin
is still plentifully sprinkled with these
"sucker -holes," exhausted ani abandon
ed by the early visitors from the Illinois
border. The distinguishing appella
tions;badger " and "sucker." became
as an obvious sequence, characteristic
terms applied to the entire people of
the States of Wisconsin 'and Illinois re
spectively, and to the State themselves
It was, therefore, .because of this time
honored and accepted designation of
Wisconsin and its inhabitants that the
badger was chosen as our arniokial crest
--and we became; officially as well as
popularly, "The Badger State."- WiS-

,A Fighting Hired Man. -
Oa' correspondent 'at Derry sends
the follOwinsf : Michael Kelly, or Mike
Kelly as he was usually called, was an
eccentric old •farmer living iu one of
out suburban towns. Born of poor
parents, by industry and perseveranae
he had become possessed of oue of the
finest farms in that section, of which he
was justly proud; but no prouder -was
he than of his own. physical strength
and agility, that had assisted him in
accumulating his property, and made
him a most excellent boxer and wrest-
ler, and he had a -corresponding con-
tempt for men of inferior powers. One
spring, when help was unusually plenty,
he determined to have the farinrun that
year by a strong team. So when, after
inquiring of the man as to his habits,
etc., he would finish up by asking him
to fight. • In this way he disposed of
quite a number of applicants, and was
beginning to, despair of his strong team,
when, one morning as he was standing
in the barn door, a young man came up
the road, and, seeing him, called out:
"Good morning, sir."
"Good morning," gruffly.
"Do you want to hire a hand to work
on your farm, sir ?"
"Perhaps, so; want to hire out ?"
"Yes, sir ; I am looking for a job."
"What.can you do?'
"All kinds of farm work, sir; I was
horn on a farm."
"Can you fighti'"
"What, sir ?"
"Can you fight, I say; can you lick
me?" .
"I don't know, sir, whether I can or
not ; but I can try."
And lie did try. Tlie first thing

floor, witi two teeth down his throat ;
the next, the man was astride his
stomach, with a fist -ia each eye, and
his nose \-as bleeding. Then he let
