Paints That Are Dangerous.

While an American mill was closed for
repairs, the long iron tube conducting the
water from the canal to the turbine was
painted with a mixture of benzine and
asphaltum as q protection against rust.
While the work was in progress the super
intendent, passing by, heard sounds Of
hilarity within, which were not strictly in
accordance with workmanlike conduct,
and on looking through the manhole saw
the half dozen employees in boisterous
mirth, dancing around, painting each
others faces and clothes. On seeing the
superintendent they invited him to. come
and be frescoed. Suspecting the cause Of
the unusual proceedings he summoned a
larger force Of men, and much difficulty
was experienced in removing the men,
although before all were taken out the re-
naming ones were already in a state of
partial stupor. The open air revived
them, although it was followed by a true
blue Monday MISUNDERSTANDING.

To ventilate a Room,

The best way to ventilate a room that I
know Of is to put a board, long enough to
fit exactly in the window frame, and
about six inches high, under the lower
sash. If you remember the construction
of window sashes you will know that this
consequent raising of the lower one will
leave spaces between the glass and the
woodwork, through which fresh mir can
obtain a gradual entrance into the room.
Its course is medo somewhat tortuous
and all draught thereby prevented.
When it reaches the inside it has IN up
ward direction, too, and is not likely to
come in contact with tender craniums.
It is important, in using this kind of ven-
tilation, that the board fit accurately
under the window, so that NO little spaces
be left for the air to bow through.-New
York World.

The Evolution of a Hat.

A Park place dealer in head coverings
displays in his window ''The evolution of
a hat" It is a unique exhibition. First
there is q grave and sleepy white rabbit
in o cage. Next to his apartment, as a
reminder Of his possible fate, is a mass Of
rabbit fur from the bodies of some of his
departed fellows. Exhibit 8 in the collec-
ion is a long, conical affair about the color
of a hornets nest, and scarcely as SYM
metrical in form. 1t is labeled: sForm-
ing the fur into shape" The fourth stage
in the evolution is illustrated by an ex-
hibit entitled, shrinking the body"
The large gray one has been contracted
to half its size, but looks as ungainly and
as little like q hat as ever. Exhibit 8,
however, looks very like a hat. The gray
mass has been dyed black and stiffened,
and but for its fraycd edges it would
make a very decent headgear. The sixth
sample shows the finished hat, as hand
some derby as ever graced q Uranium.
Its edges are bound, its interior uphol-
stored with white silk, and is such q per-
feet hat as would make the sleepy rabbit,
marked Exhibit 1, almost willing to die
to produce such a triumph Of art.-New
York Evening Sun.

High Living at Washington.

In the meantime I hear continuous
complaints about the high prices of living
in Washington, and there is no doubt
that q radical change has gone on in this
regard. The rich men who have come
here entertain so grandly and dispense
their money sc freely that, as Senator
Cullom told me the other day, the poor
statesman has a hard time to keep within
the limits Of his salary. Senator Cullom
said he he's made nothing since he has
been in politics, and that he has lost his
money making sense by working in the
field of craftsmanship.
The days when congressman could
board on 81 a day have long since gone
by, and the man who gets along now on
$50 q week does remarkably well. If he
has his wife and children with him his
bills run well up in the hundreds per
month, and If he has not the chances are
that the allurements Of Washington life
will carry him fast along the road to per-
dition.-Carpenter's Letter.

-wssSSssss Nsv York Pras.
Mr Pricegwho has charge Of the labor
department Of The Press. has done .
splendid piece Of work in exposing the
falsehoods Of free traders nrelation to
the coat Of Of Lying in the United States.
The wage earners are robbed to fill the
Golfers Of the s.robber barons" of protec-
ton. The cost Of your food, your cloth
ing, your boots, your blankets. your ne
cesaitles Of all, kinds is increased by pre-
cisely the amount of the tariff. Who
has not heard this, Every Democratic
speech is filled with utterances of this
sort. Every editorial from the free trade
press abounds of this character.
Is this true? The facts gathered by
hi. Price-and Mr.. Price swears to the
accuracy of his statements-show these
free trade assertions to be absolutely
without foundation in fact. These facts
show moreover, that American work
mon canslive on the pittance paid British
workmen, providing they are willing to
live in the same way. Leone Levi. tho
well known Engllsh statisticin, is au-
thority for the statement that the aver.
age weekly earnings off, 100000 families
in England this includes earnings of all
members Of the respective families able
10 work) are N.6s. OF course the aver
age earnings Of the head Of the house
hold would be much less than this, prob
ably from IS to Is per week. The$7.6S.
therefore, includes the average aggregate
weekly earnings of all members Of the
100000 families in England who work
for a living.
It is, therefore, fair to presume that
$3.50 per week Is regarded as good va
ges to maintain and bring up a family
on in England, and hence we find Miss
Hall, in the current number Of the Nine
teenth Century, exolaiming: II thans
God England counts among her children
SO many who know how to live simply
and yet nobly on thirty shillings $3.50,
per week." To which MI. Price re
spends: Il can say more fervently,
thank God that America counts 30 few
among her children who have to live or
$50 per week.
The fiction that you can get more fol
$3.50 per week in free trade London
than in protection New Nork is forever
disposed Of by the following table, pre-
pared and sworn to by Mr.. Price. In
short, living on $3.50 per week meant
exactly the same to the Londoner as il
does to tho New Yorker, as the prices Of
the common necessaries of life, includ'
ing clothing, are substantially the same

1t is equally true that q man a
clothe himself rs cheaply in New York

pared with the utmost care, and the

for sale. For months The Press has
kept in its editorial rooms all sorts of
American clothing and blankets, which
quality fer quality can be bought right
here in New York as good aud az cheap

the people and tell them they are taxed
ninety per cent. on their clothing and
blankets have been requested to come
up and see these goods and compare
them with goods sold at the same price
in England.
Did they come? Only ono free trader
ever put IN an appearance, and that
was MI. r. r. Bowker. The editor Of
The Press was out upon that occasion
and Mr. Bowker W appeared again.
This clothing was sent on to Boston and
