A roof may be covered with very cheap

better, and lasting longer than new shin
giles without the slate, for
One Third he Cost Of Reshinqling.
The expense of stating new shingles is
only about the cost OF simply laying them.
The paint is FIRE-PROoF against sparks or
flying embers, as may be easily tested by
any one.

pands by heat, contracts by cold. and NEVER
CRACKS nor scales. Roofs covered with Tar
Sheathing Felt can be made water-tight at
a small expense, and preserved for many
years.
This State paint is
EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Two gallons will cover hundred square
feet Of shingle roof. while on tin, iron, felt
metched boards, or any smooth surface,
from two quarts to one gallon are required
to 100 square feet Of surface, and although
the Paint has heavy body IL Is easily ap-
piled with brush.
No Tar is used in this Composition,
therefore it neither cracks in Winter, nor
runs in Summer.
On decayed shingles 1t flls up the holes
and pores, and gives q new substantial roof
that will last for years. CURLRD or WARPED
shingles it brings to their places, and
keeps them there. It fills up sill holes In
Felt roofs, stops the leaks-and although q
slow dryer, rain does not effect 1t few
hours after applying. AS nearly all paints
that are black contain TAR, be sure you OBJ

month to a uniform slate color. and is to all

our red color is usually preferred, as one
coat Is equal TO five Of any o. dinary paint.
For
BRICK WALLS
our BRIGHT RED Is the only reliable Slate
Paint ever int ,oduced that will effeetually
prevent dampness from penetrating and

The Rare TrteK Of an Indian COH-
fureF.

@Ignoramus," writing to the
London Times from Ambleside on
the Slade case, describes a trick
which, when commanding at the
fort Of Attock, on the Indus, in
1861, he saw practiced by an Indian
coniurer. On the mess-table, on
which the cloth was still spread,
this man placed a rupee at one cor
ner and the narrator's signet-ring
at the other. Then he repeated a
prayer, played o. an instrument,
and the ring, "with a yibratory no.
ton, keeping time to the music,
moved along the diagnol until it
reached the rupee, which it clawed
Il can describe it by no other
woodland brought back to its own
corner" The cOnjurer declined to
sell his secret.
If the affair happened just as it
is told, it is surely as likely that
tile man was what is now called a
Q medium whatever that may be
las that he had any mechanical
secret for making a ring dance and
" claw without any visible link
between him and it. His recitation
Of a prayer might either have beer
done to impose upon others, Oh
from his own profound belief il
the existence Of some unrecognixeC
quality in himself, But it is al
idle 10 try and conjecture the ex
