Cheap Paint for Barns.

No paint, we believe, withstands ''the
tooth of timen better than Venetian red.
There are houses in some country towns
painted red so long a time ago that the
memory of man runnetk not to the con-
trary, and they hook fresh to this day.
The wood is admirably preserved, and
appears as though it would not need
another coat of paint for a quarter of a
century to come. But, then, who would
have such a color OH house or barn 3?
some people would say. To our eye it
does not look badly when the trimmings
receivea shade somewhat different from
the body of the building. In point of
economy, there is probably nothing bet
ter We would not shock the taste of
any by advising the use of red paint on
a house or barn, but think we cOuM live
comfortably in house so painted, all
other things being agreeable. For n
cheap white, silver or pearl gray ''paint'
a correspondent of the NcU ENGLAND
Farmer gave, few Years ago, the fol-
lowing recipe for making a composition
which he had used and fOind TO be dur
able, cheap, and economical: Skim
milk, two quarts; fresh Stacked lime,
eight ounces; linseed oil, six ounces;
white Burgundy pitch, two ounces;
spanish Whlte, three pOuDds. lne lime
to be Stacked in water, exposed to the
air and mixed in about One-fourth of
milk. The oil in which the pitch is pre-
viously dissolved to be added little at
time; then the rest of the milk, and
afterwards the Spanish white. This
quantity is sufficient for twenty-seven
square yards, two coats. If a particle
of blue be added, or if this blue be com
bined with a slight portion of black, a
silver or pearl gray will be obtained.
The addition of raw umber will make il
brown. 1t will be necessary to keep il
stirred i'm the bucket while using.
Petroleum, benzine, etc, have been
tried for dark paints, with various sue.
cess. Some complain that il does moi
harden properly. The editor of the
COtuttTy GcHtiemaa has used petroleum
with good success. He advised the ap.
plication of coat of light petroleum
alone first, and then after few month,
give coat of the heavier petroleum
mixed with the colors of other paint
He has seen such n coat on a barn o
six years standing, hard and unchanged
1t is recommended for roofs as well as fol
the side of buildings.

BEING DROwNED.-Some eXtraordi-
nary mental phenomena occur in
drowning. As soon as respiration is
suspended, by the indrawing Of water
into the lungs, consciousness is imme-
diately eXtinguished. From all that
can be gathered in regard to the action
of the heart, that organ probably acts,
feebly, considerable time after the
functions of respiration are suspended.
BY its muscular force arterial blood is
driven onward to the head faster than
the veins bring il back, and, consequent
ly, the mind Is plunged, as il We're, into
a profound sleep, for loss of conscious
hess results from a sudden apOpleXy in
duced by an extra accumulation of blood
in the delicate textures of the brain.
When the pulsatiOns Ofthe heart stop,
then the tension on the muscles relax;
and, if no effort at resuscitatiOn are
made, vital heat diminishes gradually,
and the change is an expansion of COM
pressed gases in the cavities Ofthe body,
due to the first process of chemical de
composition. If the body, however, is
recovered Immediately, even though
respiration and circulation are quies-
cent, it is possible TO re-establish the
movement of the lungs, vigilantly con-
tinued for long while. The trial is not
always successful, but so encouraging
that the prospect demands the utmost
perseverance.
With the revived action of the heart,
the moment the lungs begin to take in
oxygen from the air forced upon them,
life begins to return. So it i admitted
by physiological philosophers that the
soul is won back, if it had gone, in the
act of restoration; or else il is morally
certain its departure at death is gradu-
al process, which may be interrupted,
and reimprisoned in the brain by human
effort and skill

y CHILDLESS HOME.-The home may
be a palace, but its splendid halls will be
cold and cherries as the fore-cOurt of a
sepulcher, if they are not made the
portals ofheaven by the prattle, the merry
laugh and innocent hilarity of children,
through whom the divine paternity
bestows perennial youth, and hope, and
earthly immortality upon parents here.
Of all cheeriess, unnatural places in the
world, a childless home is the most un-
comfortable. There is something op-
pressive in its vacancy. Its stiffness is
sitting. The heart faints and cries for
what is not there. The home into
which the Great Father has once placed
one of His little ones, for however short
stay, is transformed by that visitation,
and can never lose the charm of that
mysterious coming, nor the light that
streamed through the door of the noise
less departure. That door is open, and
no hand can shut it; and Just on the
other side the unseen child engages in
gambOls, or is busted with tasks, which
it needs but n little Imagination, blended
with faith, for parents heart to hear.
No home can ever be the same again
into which one immortal being rose into
conscious life, and saw heaven of love
i'm mothers eyes. Birth is a great
sacrament. But the home that has had
no such baptism is cold, dull and dreary
at the best, with none of the poetry of
life in il, no legends of angels trailing
about il, and no star shining over il to
indicate that il is favored of heaven
Golden Age.

Resolutions Adopted by the National
Commercial Convention.

Baltimore, Is. The National Commercial
Convention to-day adopted resolutions recon-
mending that railroad and transportation
companies reduce the local rates Of freight
and passage nearer to proportion of through
rates, and favoring the construction OF an air
line railroad from Cincinnati to Chattanooga,
and of Southern Pacific Railroad. Upon
the subject of a narrow guage railroad re-
port was adopted which states that enough is
known from reports supposed and believed to
be reliable of the narrow guage roads in
Wales, Switzerland and other countries to
Justify that the diminished cost of construc-
ton of three feet guage roads being estimated
at from one half to two-thrds of the cost of
usual guage roads.
The increased facility of overcoming heavy
grades and accomplishing sharper curves and
greatly diminished cost of operating, point to
such class of roads as Offering at least to
many sections of our country great induce
ments for their construction, and while they
may not become or may not be suitable for
long lines of railroads, or transportation of
all kinds and classes of freight, yet conyen-
fence of local traffic and bringing into rail-
road connection sections of the country where
physical geography would make construction
of wide guage roads impracticable, either
from great cost or sparseness of population
era in nature. The reports of such roads all
give results in construction about $1,000 per
mile, including equipment The cost OF OPP
Grating alone is one-third less than wide
guage and the rate of speed in travel equal
to that of other roads in this country.
Lieut.. Governor Stanwood of Missouri.
who presented the above report said the COM
mittee were also strongly in favor of con-
strucung all roads upon uniform guage and
axies.
The order of business was suspended to
allow resolution to be offered by Judge
Hammond of Georgia, which was adopted, to
the effect that States and localities in this
government which have not already adopted
the system of puclic schools, be earnestly
recommended by this convention to do so at
once, as the best possible method of eeucat-
ing correctly and thoroughly the masses of
the people, and the only method DO which
the whole people can be educated, at an ex-
pense not exceeding the amount heretofore
expended in the education of a few.
Resolutions were also adopted providing
for a special committee to urge from Con-
gress an appropriation of $4,000, 900, for the
construction of ship canal to Chesapeake
and Delaware bays.
Reverdy johnson addressed the convention
in support of the latter project.
