THE SU n
WEEKLY, SEMI WEEKLY, AND DAILY

THE WEEKLY Sun is too widely known
TO require an extended recommendation; but
the reasons which have already given it fifty
thousand subscribers, and which will, we
hope, give it many thousands more, are
as follows
1t is a iirstrate newspaper. All the news
of the day will be found in it, condensed
when unimportant, at full length when OF
moment, and always presented in clear,
ineligible, and interesting manner.
1t is 4 irst-rate family paper, full Of en-
tertaining and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend
the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
1t is tirst-rate story paper. The best
tales and romances of current literature are
carefully selected and legibly printed in its
pages.
1t is iirst-rate agricultural paper. The
most fresh and instructive articles on agri-
cultural topics regularly appear in this
department.
1t is an independent political paper, be-
longing to no party and wearing no collar.
1t fights for principle, and for the election of
the best men to office. 1t especially devotes
its energies to the exposure Of the great
coruptions that now weaken and disgrace
our country, and threaten to undermine
republican institutions altogether. 1t has
Ho icar vi kuaNeS, anu ashS no ilSOlS from

1t reports the fashions for the ladies', and
the markets for the men, especially the cattle
markets, to which it pays particular atten-

Premium for 1922.

Every subscriber. TO TIE ALDINE for the
year 1874 will receive a pair OF chromOs.
The original pictures we've painted in oil for
the publishers of THE ALDlNE, by Thomas
Moran, whose great Colorado picture was
purchased by Congress for ten thousand dol
lars. The subjects were chosen to represent
The East" and 1.-THE West" One is a
view in The White Mountains, New Hamp-
shire the other gives The Cliffs of Green
River, Wyoming Territory. The difference
in the nature OF the scenes themselves is a
pleasing contrast, and affords good display
of the artists scope and coloring. The
chromos are worked from thirty distinct
plates, and are in size (l2 ICY and appear
ance exact iac-similes of the originals. The
presentation Of q worthy example Of Ameri-
cas- greatest landscape painter to the SUBJ
scribers of THE ALDINE was bold but
peculiarly Happy idea, and its successful
realization is attestcd by the following tcsti-
monial, over the signature Of Mr.. Moran
himself.

Gendlemen,-I am delighted with tho proofs
in color of your chromos. They are wonder
fully successful representations by mechani-
cal process of the original paintings.
Very respectfully,
(Signcd,) THOS. MORAN.
These chromos are in every sense Ameri-
can. They are by an original American
process, with material Of American manu-
tacture, from designs of American scenery
by an American painter, and presented to
subscribe to the first successful American
Art Journal. If no better because Of all
this, they will certainly possess an interest
no foreign production can inspire, and
neit..er are they any the worse if by reason
of peculiar facilities Of production they cost
the publishers only trihe, acAile equal IN
erery respect to ether chromos that are sold singly
for double The subscription price Of THE
ALDINE. Persons of taste will prize these
pictures for themselves-not for the price
they did or did not cost, and will appreciate
the enterprise that renders their distribution
possible.

Nails.

Every farmer who has had occasion to
drive a nail into seasoned oak posts
knows its liability to bend and break.
If the point be moistened in the mouth
it will usually drive more kindly. Oil
is still better, but then it is inconvenient
to dip each nail separately into it. An
other point observed is that boards be-
come loose eventually from the rusting
of the nails, which communicating to
the wood, causes not only an enlarge
ment of the nail hole, but the wearing
away of the nail itself, rendering the
fence or building shaky and insecure.
This may be prevented by heating any
rough greese until it smokes and then
pouring it over the nails to be used.
The grease will penetrate the pores of
the iron, and cause the nails to last,
without rusting, an indefinite period.
Besides this no trouble will then be ex-
perienced in driving them into the hard
est wood. The reason is that the coat
ing of grease prevents contact by air,
and consequently oxidation. Oxygen is
the great destroyer of iron, and moist
ure is the inducing cause. Anything
which is kept from contact with the air
is preserved indefinitely, and if it is kept
dry the effect is measurably the same
Paint upon buildings prevents the con-
tact of air and moisture. If the whole
fence cannot be painted, the heads, at
least, of the nails should be touched
Herewith.
