She removed to Minnesota in 1861, and

PROF. LElB,s NORMAL MUSIC SCHOOL.

We are glad to learn that the noble
work Prof. Leib is doing, is finding better
appreciation than when he was here be
fore. 1t is sufficient justification Of our
comment upon his former labors in our
midst to know that our leading musicians
and musical connoisseurs this time raised
the amounl for his coming and brought
him back. The class is larger this week
and yet there are many in our midst
whose absence is unacc0untable for,
when the very best of instruction and
precept is brought right to our doors,
at expense almost too tritling to mention.
We do not see why all our singers, who
have any desire to know the proper use
of the voice, do not put themselves in
the way of getting the desired instruction.
Prof. Leib surely gives the best, and de-
monstrates that it is the best. Many are
the regrets that the concert night, when
he was here before, was so bad. 1t did
not rain-it poured. AS the weather is
settled now, we expect to see large turn
out next Friday night. A splendid pro-
gram is to be presented.

Wednesday evening, Oct. 80, COM
pany numbering about 80, made sur
prise on Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Ticknor, to
help them celebrate their tenth marriage
anniversary, and Mrs. Ticknor's thirtieth
birthday. After the house had been
fairly captured and the ladies had estab-
lished commissary department in the
kitchen, Rev. Stanley called Mr.. and Mrs.
Ticknor to the front, and in the name of
those present made them brief address
full of friendly regard. He said it was
our duty to cast all the light we could up
on the pathway of others, the light of
sympathy, kindness and neighborly love,
and they had brought with them token
of regard as practical demonstration of
their sentiments, which he hoped would
fill their home with cheerful radiance, at
which Luther Smith and Geo. Wilbour
brought in beautiful hanging lamp
which was presented to Mr.. and Mrs.
Ticknor. MIR. Ticknor responded in a
very neat little speech, which had we not
known he was not running for any county
office, we should have thought was pre-
meditated. Refreshments were served,
after which the company bid the pleasant
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ticknor, and each
other, good night.

TwENTY-FuUR o'ULoUK j.

In regard to the proposed new deal in
time keeping, the .'Twenty-four o clock
system, as it is called, a writer who has
been puzzling over the connumdrum
thinks it will seem odd for people to be
down town until seventeen or eighteen
o'clock at night, and yet this is evidently
what we are coming to.
The Meridian Conference Which met at
tiOn of what is popularity termed the
twenty-fOur o'clock system. Standard
time was adopted with little hesitation,
and no doubt the twenty four o'clock sys-
TEN will shortly be adopted too, It will
be a great convenience in railway time
tables, but it will take some time to be-
come used to it. The present system of
a. M, and p. m, is apt to be misleading,
the same mineral or numerals having to
do duty twice in the same day. Under
the proposed plan there would be only
one twelve o'clock in the day, instead of
two, as one of them would become TWEEN
tyfour o'clock. People would have to
think twice when they were told to be at
home at halfpast nineteen o'clock or a
quarter to twenty-onc, and no little men
tai calculation would have to be carried
on before the thing would become quite
clear. The clock would have to be
changed and a row Of figures put around
the inside of the present row on the dials,
giving the hours from twelve o'clock to-
twenty-four. This is, in substance, what
the advocates of the twenty-fonr o'clock
system have to say for it.-St, Peul GLOBE.
Painting Tin Roofs.
Tin on house top should be we'll
painted once IN four years. For roofs,
light, cool cOlors are preferable, because
they reflect the warm rays of light, and
thereby lessen the expansion and con-
traction of the metal and the shrinking
of the boards underneath, and so lessen
the liability of the tin to crack in the
seams. The temperature of attic rooms
in summer will be materially lower if the
roof be painted with light rather than
with dark color. The writer has learn
ed from long experience that the finest
French ocher is the most economical pig
ment that can be used for that purpose.
If, as is sometimes the case in country
houses, where the roof is conspicuous
object in the architecture of the building,
dark color be indispensable, the use Of
pure Venetian red darkencd with lamp
black is recommended as the most dur
able and economical. If by some pro-
cess the oil used in roof painting could
be prevented from becoming hard and
brittle, it would be great gam. The
poorest oil paint, however, is better than
neglect; and the best economy consists
in keeping tin entirely and thoroughly
protected from the corroding influence of
dampness. Old paint, which has become
fatty from exposure to the atmosphere,
is better than new for roof painting
Not drop of turpentine should be used
for such work THE MetnI Worker.
