Painting Farm Buildings.

Phere are numerous good reasons for Sc
Iecting the cool weather of October and
November as the best time for applying
paint to buildings which are exposed TO the
weather. But there is one which Is based
upon common sense alone, and that Is that
we get through witha "big job" at COM
paratively idle season, instead OF leaving 1t
10 be done at very busy one. We are
accustomed to look upon painting as some
thing which can only be accomplished by
professional painters, and are apt 10 make
our estimates of cost include several men
wages at the rate of three or four dollar;
per day. This is mistake. Modern en-
terpriSe and ingenuity have reduced 'h'
painting of farm buildings to a very simpl'
process The purchase of a barrel OF chem
! ical paint, a few brushes, and little OIL
prepares any ordinary hand with the mean
to set up his sign a rough painter Th
process of mixing the paints and securin
/ desired colors is very simule-the cost
absolutely trifing-the labor amounts
little or nothing, and the benefit secure
cannot be calculated until experienced.

A snn. for the strikers: The railroad
companies are absolutely the only parties
implicated in the strike who do not lose
one cent, by all the destruction of property
and the interference Of business. And what
is more, they can't be made to lose one
cent, if you strike till doomsday. You
paralyze every other business in the coun-
try; the railway magnates lie back on their
elbows. allowing trains to lie idle which
would not pay dividends if running; and
after i, is all over they collect swinging
bill for property destroyed, which the State
will collect in part out OF your wages. How
do you like it in that shape?-Ohio Statt

Statisticians of the New York World,
estimating the value of property destroyed
by the rioters at Pittsburg at $4,000, 900,
find that this amount is more than one

city at 100000 persons, the city will be
required to pay $32, Is for every man, wo-

The Government and the Riots.

From the New York World
President Hayes has responded to the
appeal of the Governor of Pennsylvania by
issuing calm, firm and constitutional
proclamation, in which he deals with the
railway insurgents in Western Pennsylva=
mia as Washington dealt with the whiskey
insurgents in the same region, and orders
them to disperse and retire to their homes
by noon this day. He has geven practical
meaning to this proclamation by sending
one of hravest, most popular and most
trustworthy officers of the army Gen
Hancock, himself a Pennsy lvanian, into
the State to enforce it. The disorders
which have compelled the second State q
the Union thus TO call upon the Federal
Government for protection utterly dwar
by their proportions, and by the damage
they have already inflicted upon the mate
rial and the moral interests of the common
wealth and the Union, not only all the dis
turbances which actually ACQUIRED. but al
that were alleged to have occurred in the
Southern States put together between th'
surrender Of Lee, in 1865, and the final res
toration of constitutional government afte

Effect of Sunlight on Poison.

Atlantc Monthly.
A distinguished English physician, in a
recent experiment, has furnished, as he
thinks, another interesting proof of the
salutary inhuance of sunlight The pQis-
ons of the cobra, which he received from
India on ivory points, was exposed in a
glass bottle to the sunlight, portion OF
them being wrapped il paper, He found
that on somo of the points that had been
exposed TO the light the poison had become
inert, while on those in the same bottle
tina, had been wrapped in paper the poison
still retained its vital activity. He argued
from this that sunlight might in the same
way destroy the poison of small pox, scar
let and typhoid fevers. Whether this is
so or not, there is no doubt about the
healthful power of sunshine. 1t is unwise
to shut it out of our dwellings. Invalids
especially need its cheerful iniiuance. Al
this time the air from out of doors
should be freely admitted to our dwellings
