THESE PAINTS are composed of PURE
L WHITE LEAD, ZINC and L1NsEED OH,
with other ma terials which add greatly to the
durability, elasticity, beauty and strength of
the Paint. The whole are chemically COM
bined, SO that the pigments are held in per-
manent solution, thus forming smoothe,
glossy, firm, elastic, beautiful and durable,
Paint. The Oil, which is the real life OF
the Paint, cannot leave it and be absorbed
by the substance to which it is applied, as it
does in the paints mixed in the ordinary
way, and thus leave the pigment dead and
brittle, to wash and rub off in few months,
or at farthest in three or four years. This
Paint is unaffected by changes of tempera-
ture is perfectly impervious to the action OF
water, is well adapted to all classes of work,
and is in every way better Paint for either
INSIDE or OUTSIDE WORK or BOAT PAINTING,
than any other Paint known to the trade,
and will last at least THREE TIMES AS LONG AS
THE BEST LEAD AND On MIXED IN THE oRD1-

propoScd Endowment of the UniSer-
sity of Virginia.

We have once or twice before spoken, OF the
movement inaugurated at the last annual meet
ING Of the Society Of Alumni of the University
of Virginia (held during the Commencement of
1922 in behalf of the endowment of that lnstl-
tuition Recent pcrusal of the circular set
forth By the Committee with whom the eXecu-
ton OF the plan at present rests, prompts a
farther notice
The University Itself uceds not to be intro
duccd to our readers. Long aud justly the
bride of the State. and the leading seminary OF
the South, it has, Notwithstanding the curtall-
M mt of its material prosperity necessarily IN
cidcn. 10 the war, of late largely extended its
scope and steadily grown in reputation and ci-
hcicucy. This great school has, properly
>peakipg. no endowment. 1t could no. prob
ally be sustained single sessloult the annual
augmentation of sl5 900 were Withdrawn by the
Legislature this appropriation has IN the
pat been ot;en grudgingy bestowed, and at
any time in tie future adverse political H.
tiucnces might stop it altogether, or compile its
acceptance with conditions virtually prohibi-
tory. This. Of itsclc, though far from being
the only reason, was surely reason enough to
stimulate the effort now making to secure a
permanenr endowment fund Of S5uOoDo, aud
to enlist in its behalf the sympathes of every
true friend OF learning in the State.
At a single meeting lately held in Richmond
in behalf of the proposed 'Memorlai Fund
for the endowment of Richmond College
50. 900 were subscribed. II such things can
lie done now f1r one of the colleges Of the State,
surely our great University may Claim similar
encouragement
The Society of Alumni have one or more
agents canvassing in behalf Of the proposed en-
dowment One of these Mr.. CHAPMAN

Chairman of the Faculty of the University
proposes soon to visit Alexandria. We have
not the pleasure Of a personal acquaintance

The Giants Burying-Ground.

The following is from the Carlisle, KY,
Mercury: On the farm of Mr.. Harrison
Whaley, near Moorfeld, in this county, is
skirt of woods which possesses charac-
terlstics of deep interest. About three
inches beneath the surface of the entire
tract may be found innumerable bones,
evidently the remains of an extinct species
OF the human race. Several mounds are
also in the woods, and in one which has
been partially explored were found skulls
and bones which from their size must
have belonged to a race of beings far
more gigantic than the race which now
inhabits the earth. In this mound were
also found many clay utensils; also arrow
heads cut out OF the solid rock. and pipes
OF the same material. Such memorial
of the past starts many inquiries. Was
the place once battle ground, where the
aborigines fought to maintain the glory
OF their respective tribes? Or was it a
common burial ground? The first seems
to De the most plausible theory, inasmuch
as the whole tract, covering at least fifteen
acres, has multitudes of human bones but
few inches beneath the surface. 1t is
evident they were never buried, but origi-
nally lay exposed to view, until the accu-
mulated deposits of time formed the black,
rich soil which covers them. But what
ever theory may be adopted, it is certain
that these bony materials ante-date history
and furnish another proof of how little is
known of the races and tribes who
hourlshed, it may be centuries ago.

Sailing, Packing and Selling Butter

Blauchard's Butter Manual recommends
one ounce of salt to pound OF butter az
sufficient for keeping it; but the better paw
ns class of customers, who are a little
more fastldious about the quality, prefer
about one-haf rs much! and this is found
'Aii1lent, II the caseine has been properly
removed. Butter makers in the vicinity of
.arge towns should seek out regular Gus
toners for their product, in which case if
may he put up in balls, or any other form
adapted TO the demand '.Phjladelnhia
Prints, which have acquired a worldwide
reputation are pound balls, with small
lglre upon the top. They are usually en-
oNed I'D white linen napkin, and packed
"a cedar ENC lined chest, with apartments
al each end for ice, to keep it hard while
beln@ transported to market
For the great mass of butter-makers, the
wooden tub, holding from fifty to one hun
dred pounds, must ever be the most econom-
ical form of package. In the vicinity of
New York city, heavy return pals. of the
best white oak, with thick covers. names
branded on them, are used and reused year
after year, In some parts of the West.
nlSerahly poor oaken tubs are employed
winch affect the butter very injuriouslv. In
'lher localities. ashen tubs are favorites
while IN northern Vermont the most aD-
proved tubs are spruce. Spruce is unques-
uonaby the least liable Of all timber TO
AFFECT the flavor of the butter iniuriously:
While it is generally believed thai for long
Aeeplng much exposure, good white oak is
preferable. Stone and earthen lars and
crooks are sometimes used but we do not
recommend them. Much depends on the
purity of the salt-it must be perfectly
white and soluble in water The office Of
salt IS, first, to remove the buttermilk from
he pores of the butter, and secondly, to
render harmless what cannot be removed.

A Mississippi Juror.
From the Aberdeen Examiner,

The penitentary convicts were hard at
work all day Christmas on the Memphis
and Selma Railroad, Just outside the city,
though given extra allowances of grog
and a big dinner. A day or two ago a
batch Of ''tresh fish" Of the genus convict
were sent up to Jackson, and among them
a sanctmonious-looking creature whose
talents in the outside world has been de-
voted to the Saving of souls" This
reverend rascal brought his Bible and
hymn-book with him, and was very 10th
to resign their custody during working
hours in order to WELD worldly shovel.
He had hardly entered the pit before a
swarthy zebra laid down his pick and
asked permission of Mr.. Reed, the Super
intendent, to speak to the ID. d. and
after eyeing him severely for moment
or two spoke thusly: "Guess you's the
psalm-singing son of a - that was the
foreman of de jury what sent me here. l
knowed you'd be along soon. Guess you
know how it's yourself by dis time" The
sanctimonious reply was: Don't bras
pheme, niggah, don't braspheme; put
your truss in Providence"
