GENERAL DIRECTIONS IN PAINT.
ING are TO see that no paint is pu' over a
moist or even damp surface. To have
thin coats of paint applied instead of thick
Clifton Paints should be thinned with the
best raw linseed oil. Many people think
that there is no little or no difference in
lnseed oil. The Chiffon Paint Co. In buy
ing oil obtain only the best brands from
people who have reputation of buying
the best and cleanest flax seed, and allow
ing their oil to settle for months before
placing il on the market. How much
better this oil than the oil commonly met
with, and yet the Chiffon Co. would not
be satisfied to use this oil without settling
IL for themselves. In 1898 the Chiffon
Paint Co. will use in some OF their paints
lnseed oil which they purchased and
tanked In 1891. Very little such oil, II
any, can be found 10 the United States,
and the public gets the benefit Of 1t, but
SO does the Chiffon Co. also, for 1t adds to
their reputation. 1t is extremely impreb-
able that gallon Of paint will leave their
factory the present year made from lin
seed oil crushed later than 1892.

ON Courtships.

Marriage is the most serious aud i'm
portant event of oar lives, especially so
to women, and question in which parents
are greatly interested and solcitous. So,
also. is every good citizen, and especially
the christian church. All women desire
TO marry; it is natural; il is right. When
woman arrives at The age Of thirty or
forty, and the glamour of life is past, moth
ing 10 This world Il more desirable Than
to have home that she can call her own
(be il ever so humble), surrounded by her
family aud mistress OF her own house.
There are some men in every commu-
nifty who, jndping from their conduct,
never had n mother CT sister. They go
about irlling with the nifrclors Il wo-
men Without any intention To marry,
they keep the company of woman one,
Two or three years, until strong attach
ment is formed on the part Of the woman,
! which is like death when severed by de.
scrtion for the company OF another wo
man, where the same thing may be re-
peated again, robbing them Of their M al
precious years and lessening them Of their
chances of marriage.
Every sensible man can determius as far
as possible In courship Of six months
or year, whether woman would make
him suitable wife and help meet, and to
continue his visits longer without declar-
ing his intentions is criminal and in some
instances murderous. There are other
men who prolong their courtships TO I'M
reasonable lengths, keeping the woman
in painful suspense for FIVE, six or seven
years. Where this Is dore without any
apparent reason to the public, IL awakens
suspicion and becomes a public talk,
much to the discredit Of the woman.
Such men ought to he made 10 understand
distinctly that their example is bad and
that their presence is not desirable in the
community. II they are church members
and wearing the garb of religion, they
should be severely diciplined.

Pilfering.

II Is at this season Of the year that the
deprcdaiions of the sneak thief begin 10
/ earnest Gu the farmer, and from this time
!" the end OF the season berries, apples,
cherries, peaches, potatoes, sweet corn,
melons, cabbage, nuts. etc, have TO be
continually under the eye of the farmer,
or the best of all that he raises will be
carried off by people who are either too
lazy TO work or out of pure "cussedness. :"
think II would be well, Mt this time,
for The ministers 10 dwell with msre than
usual vigor on the sin Of pilfeling or
stealing in small way. II is said that
the ''partaker is as bad as the thief, and
1T this be true, the parents that cut the
berries, etc, that are stolen by their
children, are equally guilty.
II parents could be made to realize the
truth of the saying, believe that less of
this kind of stealing would be done, for
in many instances it is thoughllcssness on
the palt of the parents that starts the
children on foraging expeditions of this
kind.
OF course, know that all the stealing
is not done by the children, for l know,
to my sorrow, that both men and women
do the same thing, and that no advice or
warning of the ministers will prevail with
them, and that nothing but the shotgun
or the law will reach them.
do not believe that the majority Of
parents are like the deacon who, before
starting for church, called his son to him
and said: Remember, John, that for
bid you to go fishing en- Sunday, but II
you do go, be sure to bring home the
| fish. !"
The most exasperating thing about the
business is that in majority of cases the
pilfering is not done by those in actual
want, but by people who wear ''store
clothes" and are able to buy the things
they steal.
If farmer, in passing along the street,
should step into garden and should
gather few cherries or berries or veget-
| ables, the probability is that he would be
arrested before he left town, and would
be booted at as thief by the very class
of people that do the same thing when
they are in the country.
AT this time the farmer Is net very
prosperous, and 1t Is about all he can do,
even by working early and late, to pay
his bills and come out even at the end Of
the year, and it should be remembered
that each quart Of berries ard each head
OF cabbage represents so much labor and
muscle expended by him, and that they
represent so much money, and when one
steals quart of berries or head OF cab
bage he is stealing 80 much money, and
it is no more respectable than stealing
chickens.
In this article l am not striking at any
particular person, but the remarks are
intended to be general, and are intended
to call attention to glazing evil, with the
hope that good may be effected thereby.

"A Birthday Surprise Party was held
at Chief Engineer Roberson's residence,
10 this city, on Wednesday evening last, it
being his fiflhteenth birthday, and a more
complete surprise could not have been got
ten up. He was away from home and on
returning about $50 o'clock found about
one hundred OF his friends collected there,
and the lawn beautifed with Chinese Ian
terms. After an exchange of courtesies,
he was presented with some valuable arti-
Giles in neat addresses by Rev. Mr.. Mlckle,
of the NJ. E. Church, and ex-chief Van
Solver, to which he responded. Among
his presents was llfe-size picture Of him
self, given by his many friends.
At this time refreshments were served,
which were in abundance, consisting Of
all the de.icacies OF the season. On his
friends returning to their homes and bid
ding himself and family good night, all
wished that he might live to enjoy fifty
more birth days.

Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Ex-Governor Sims, and an ex confederate
from Mississippi, reminded crippled
Union Veteran who had been discharged
from the land office, that MANNED conftd-
crate veterans could not draw pensions.
1t has probably never happened 10 the
history of this government before, that an
cx confederate bureau officer OF high rank
has minated to an ex-Unon soldier that
ex-confederates might properly be on an
equality with the Union soldiers Thus
every Union soldier who is drawing a
pension can see.where the craze Of smash
ing things in the interest of Cleveland's
so-caled "pension reform" starts-it's
the old Rebel yell.
