Time will tell :! and the
cleveland Chemical Paint
Judged by this sure test,
stands to-day, for durabili-
ty, beauty of finish and un-
fading colors, superior to
any paint in use.

1t has encountered the natural prejudice of
the people and painters to thing, and the
innovation of an old established way, and has
been steadily growing in the popular favor, and
the sale of it rapidly increasing year after year
until it is very generally used in large cities, on
fine residences as we'll as public buildings, and
by frst-class painters.
The Cleveland Chemical Paint is composed of
pure lead, zinc and hnseed oil, most desirable in
Igredents of really good paint. These are
chemically combined so that the oil cannot leave
the lead and go into the wood, as it does in the
old way, and leave it dry, peel and wash off in
"a few years, but hardens with the lead and zinc
on the surface, adhering firmly to it, making
main unchanged for years! in fact, lasting
three times as long ordinary paint. It's cost
is less than pure lead and oil (mixed in old
way), which is unmixed and not ready for use
whereas the CLEVELAND CHEMICAL PAINT is all
ready for use, and will cover more surface than
any other paint. 1t is easily and rapidly ap>
piled by any one, and saving of one>third in
time and labor is made in it's use. These when
taken into account with its great durability and
most certainly for the interest of all intending
to paint to use it.
This very desirable paint can be had in any
quantity and in white and any desired color at

Tho second misapprehension exposed at
the meeting referred to relates to the effect
of cold climates on health. We hear a
great deal nowadays about seeking mild
regions TO avoid our terrible winters and
even so sensible a man as DR.. Holmes has
fostered similar notion by intimating that
life in New England Is only at its best in
the brick and plate glass Conservatives of
our cities, because the Aryan race original
ly came from some more southern point in
Asia. But It is now proved by statistics as
quoted at Albany, that in New Hampshire
there are greater proportion ofvery long
lived people than in any other part of the
world. The descendants of Huguenots in
the middle and western part of North Car
olina are next in order then Maine, YER
mont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey while tho other States with local
exceptions fall in the rear. Here, with
some suggested exceptions, like the intlu-
ence of ancestry, it will be seen that lon
gevity comedies with cold climates. Among
the ancient Romans and Greeks man Of
eighty was extraordinary. In one town in
New Hampshire of less than 1000 inhabit-
ants there are twenty-nine people over
ninety years or age. Our New England
readers will make their own Improvements
upon these facts.
Thirdly, The Swans at Albany came To
the relief and consolation of the thin peu-
Pile. We have heard so much of the ro-
bust English and the corpulent Germans,
who have been held up as the type Of phys
| ical well being that it is sincere satsiac-
| ton to the shadowy New Highlander of ell.
Their sex TO find out that either he or she is
actually better of than those who are in "a
better condition" az is said of cattle. The
cause OF the greater neshiness, as well as
of the greater doridty of English people,
| Is attributed to the cold dampness of their
atmosphere, which induces the blood to
the surface and the subcutaneous deposit
of fat to preserve the heat of the body-a
process not rendered necessary by our dry
| or climate. We are thus saved the trouble
of carrying about with us load of thirty,
| hfty or hundred pounds of fl 81, without
any corresponding strengthening OF the
muscular or bony systom. The difference
| makes us more efficient and tends To lou
gevlty, aside from the fact that many dis
cases so more hardly with fat people. To
be thin, then, to live In a good cold region,
and to have a we'll cultivated mind, are
blessings OF no little importance rs the
| world goes.-Boston Journal.

Health N issakes.

AT the University Convocation held at
Albany recently . paper was read and
a discussion was had which brought
out some current mistakes In re-
gard to health very plainly. The subject
of the paper was HealthfulneSs OF Intel
lectual Pursuits, and the writer showed
that the breaking down bodily OF educated
men was generally due to anything else
rather than the exercise OF their minds.
AS matter OF fact, 1t Is stated that the av-
erage length Of life Of college graduates is
eight years more than the general average
of the whole community. One reason for
this may be that the best informed classes
of the community know how how to take
care Of themselves better than others, and
they generally do II. Another is that man
was made for intellectual training and ac-
tivity, and consequently he nnds his health
promoted thereby. just as he does by the
rational exercise Of his muscles and his
bodily system generally. The varied use
of the mind removes depression, counter
acts the passions and takes of the wearing
