AlAlaStine

Chicago Inter Ocean, Feb. %: Readers
of the Inter Ocean have often seen Ala
bastine prominently mentioned in these
columns daring many years past. The
main counting room on the first floor Of
the building was dantily and beautifully
decorated with Alabastine, both walls and
ceiling, seven years ago. and has been
nicely cleaned five times, though badly
smoked each year.
The same room has just been handsome
~ redecorated in freehand Alabastine
modelling in the delicate tints and other
Alabastine work. and the effect is very
beautiful even surprising the original
work of seven years ago.
The original Alabastine (the hot-water
kind supplied nearly all demand for
ready-made wall coatings throughout the
whole of the United States for sixteen
years.
This is the same as the original except
being in form adapted for use in cold wat
er. Alabastine is a cement that forms
permanent coats. admits of recoating from
time to time without removing its old
coats, and hardens with age.

More Greed than Patriotism.

Much indignation has been caused in
England by the discovery that British
firms have, within the last three months,
shipped an enormous quantity of war ma
and machine guns. to the Transyaal by
way of Delagoa bay. Inasmuch as the
Beers are ayowedly and openly preparing
for a conflict with England, the war ma
terial in question is obviously intended for
use against British troops. The English
government has. in consequence of this, es-
tablished rigid system of observation in
all ports Of the United Kingdom, and
at every fishing town detectives from the
police department at Scotland yard have
been stationed for the purpose of CO.
operating with the local coast guards.

A Cougar StSry.

While John Moak and G. Washburn
were coming out from Bohemia last
week they came upon cougar that was
feasting on a deer it had killed, says the
Cottage Grove (Or.( Leader. On seeing the
men, the cougar sprang into a leaning
tree, near where it was eating the deer
Moak happened to have a gun with him
and both men walked up to within a few
feet of the tree in order to get good
shot at the cougar, and both were stand
ing side by side in the snow nearly
waist deep. Just as Moak shot the co,l-
gar sprang at them, and, in their en-
deayor to get away in the snow they
both fell, in opposite directions, and the
cougar lit at their feet, between them.
OF course both thought they had met
their doom, but, to their surprise. on re-
gaining their feet, they found that the
cougar was dead.

Companionship in Married Life.


If you wish to be a good companion to
your husband study to make each "Good
morning. that you say to him an incen-
tive to better life. Learn to make
each ''Good-night'' benediction of love
for the days work, the days loving and
the days sympathy. Look for his good
qualities. He is like you in having faults;
with very little trouble you can find
these faults and by talking about them
and reminding him of them you caad
make your married life unendurable:s
You can bring about heartburnings, you
can cause strife, and before you know it
hatred may take the place of love. Look
for his virtues, and, seeking always for
just as certainly as you would grow bad
if you looked only for that which was
wicked Remember there is much that
will have to be forgiven IN you, and
whenever you feel inclined to remind
Tom of weakness read the book in
which is set down your foihles and your
fOllies. A woman who, even after her
marriage, carefully studies her profess
sion, can make her husband what she
wishes him to be- Everything that is
good is contagious, and the right kind of
wife makes the right kind of hus-
band.
Respect the rights of your husband; he
is man, not a child, and how can the
closest companion, do not? Do not, even
in jest, deride or underrate him. People
are slow about deciding when one is jest
ing or when one is in earnest. And what
you meant to be funny may cause some
stupid person to say, "HoW horrid Tom
must be! Why, his wife says dreadful
things about him.

she obeys King Solomon's order, and is
not economical with the rod. She is alb
