Scarcely anything in daily use

is more common than paint, indoors or out; 1t Is before us all the time. We could not do without it. Our doors, windows, walls, ceilings, stairs are all protected by paint, often beautified by it. A vast amount of money is spent annually in paint-much of it foolishly, for it not a commodity that is well un- derstood by the people. If they are buying almost anything else that is to wear, they will get that which looks the best, lasts the longest, gives most satis- faction and costs the least in proportion to it's value.
 With paint. they seem satisfied if it is called paint. Is it not reasonable to suppose that there is just as much diff. ference in the qualty of paint as of cloth, silk or satiu? Chiffon Paints cost more to manufacture than any other, but they cost the consumer less, because il takes less to do certain amount oi work, and when once it is done it need not be touched for years.

Why Isn't It a Good Idea9

A novelty in the way of temperance Legislation was recently passed by the Senate of Michigan, in the shape of a bill providing that a man who gets drunk and is arrested for that offense may either pay the fine or be locked up if he cannot pay it. or give satisfactory bond that he will go to some good place where men are treated for the liquor habit and be cured of the disease. If 8 man says he wants to be cured, but is too poor to foot the bill, then the ex- pense may be paid by the county. In such cases Justices of the Peace and Police Court Justices are empowered to sentence drunkards to some institution. Christian ct work.
