To Render Iron weatherproof.

Countless attempts have been
made to deal with the rust problem
in iron structures. A new process
has been suggested which consists
in treating the iron with solution
of ferrocyanide. This forms a
coating of cyanide of iron that is
stated to be uniform and impermea-
BILE and of such a nature as to effect
lively protect the iron so covered.
The solution is mixed with a flax
seed varnish, to which has been
added a little turpentine or benzol,
so as to cause very homogeneous
emulsion, which can be applied
without difficulty. The evaporation
of the alcohol leaves the faxseed
varnish, which forms coat and
protects the cyanide of iron which
is deposited upon the metal. The
iron requires no preparation for this
treatment beyond removing any
rust that may already have been
formed and which may be too thick
to admit of the action of the ferro-
cyanide. Industries and Iron.

A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with severe cold that caused
him to be in most miserable condi-
ton. It was undoubtedly bad case
of la grippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took immediate steps
to bring about speedy cure. From
the advertisement of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and the many good
recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make first trial of
the medicine. To say that it was
satisfactory in its results, is putting
it very mildly, indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was a speedy
and permanent cure. We have no
hesitancy in recommending this ex-
cellent Cough Remedy to any one
afflicted with cough or cold in any
form.-The Banner of Liberty, Lib

When a trip is contemplated it is
we'll to prepare in advance in order
to avoid little inconveniences which
are often annoying. The two fast
trains leaving Minneapolis and st.
Paul daily via Wisconsin Central
lines for Milwaukee and Chicago
make close connections with trains

equipped with sleeping cars, parlor
cars and day coaches, they are fully

She Paid Herself.

A clergyman told me an amusing
story the other day of an eccentric
old lady in his parish who was de-
voted to good works and quite a
second curate in the parish in spite
of her eccentricities. Having to
leave home on one occasion, she had
to pay some small parochial account
for him, a matter of frequent occur
renee when he happened to be
away; bat, knowing how punctil-
ious he was about repayment as
soon as he returned, she was much
embarrassed that on this occasion
he called several times without al
luding to the subject.
Some six months later he sudden
ly remembered his omission and
fastened to discharge his debt and
duly apologized, but the simple old
soul had found a way out of the
difficulty, as she assured him, by
repaying herself. "But how did
you do that9" said her vicar in sur
prise. "Oh, when I saw you had
forgotten all about it / just stopped
my usual contribution on Sundays
until ! had paid myself backi' Her
surprise was immense when she
was greeted by a hearty burst of
laughter.-Lady Pictorial

NAPoLEoN's VALUE OF VICTORY.
Finds a Striking counterpart in
Recent World Tpiumphs.

Napoleon knew well theIvalue of a vic
tory. After Austerlitz the world seemed
his Fame invited, fortune favored, every
thing ftimulated his aspiring ambition.
With growing power he gatheredthefruits
of victory. And so has it ever been. Sue
cess succeeds. A notable illustration of
this truth is furnished by the great vic
tories won at the Worlds Fair in 1913 and
the California Midwinter Fair in '94 by
DR. Prices Cream Baking Powder. Ever
increasing sales and popularity have been
the result. The people have promptly
ratified the official verdicts that declared
DR.. Prices, for leavening power, keeping
qualities. purity and general excellence
the foremost baking powder in all the
world" Quite as quickly as the great
Emperor do they know the value of vic
tory that means worldwide supremacy.

Butter and Honey.

Professor Tyndall used to say
that his Alpine guides ate butter
and honey while climbing, finding
that they supplied the greatest
amount of heat and nourishment.
He himself nibbled a cake of choco-
late every two hours while on the
mountains. These facts supply
hints to tourists everywhere. Now
adays one may easily, too, carry
soup squares or tea tablets to be
readily made into a refreshing
drink with the addition of hot water.

THE HISTORICAL NOVELIST.
Has One Ever Crested Character of
DafEerent Stock From His Own?


Has One Ever Crested Character of
Different Stock From His own?
The fact is that no man can step
off his own shadow. By no effort of
the will can he thrust himself back
ward into the past and shed his
share of the acoumulations of the
ages, Of all the nayriad accretions of
thought and sentiment and knowl-
edge, stored up in the centuries that
lie between him and the time he is
trying to treat. OF necessity he
puts into his picture of days gone
by more or less of the days in which
he is living. Shakespeare frankly
accepted the situation; Scott at
tempted the impossible.
Not only is it impossible for
man to get away from his own
country, but it is equally impossible
for him to get away from his own
nationality. Has any author ever
been able to create character of a
different stock from his own2 Ger
tainly all the greatest figures of fic-
ton are oompatriots of their au-
thors. We have had many carpet
bag novelists of late-men and
women who go forth gayly and
study foreign country from the
platform of parlor car land some
of these are able to spin yarns which
hold the attention of listening thou
sands. What the people of the for
eign countries think of these super
fetal tales we can measure when we
recall the contempt in which we
Americans hold the efforts made by
one and another of the British nov
elists to lay the scene of a story
here in the United States. Dickens
and Trollope and Reade were men
of varied gifts, keen observers all
of them, but how lamentable the
spectacle when they endeavored to
portray an American! Probably
most American endeavors to portray
an Englishman are quite as foolish
in the eyes of the British. Dickens
twice chose to compete with the
carpetbag novelists, and if we
Americans are unwilling to see
correct picture of our life in MAR
tin Chuzzlewit," we may be sure
that the French are as unwilling to
acknowledge the "Tale of Two Cit
ies'' as an accurate. portrayal of the
most dramatic epoch in their his
tory.
There are those who think twas
piece of impertinence for Londoner
like Dickens to suppose that he
could escape the memorable limita-
tons of his birth and education and
hope to see Americans or French
men as they really are. Far finer
artists than Dickens have failed in
this-artists of a far more exquisite
touch.
The masterpieces of the great
painters instantly declare the race
to which the thinner himself belong

tan Travelled and saw the world.
They have left US portraits of men
of many nationalities, and yet every
man and woman Rubens painted
seems to us Dutch, every man and
woman Velasquez painted seems to
us Spanish, every man and woman
Titan painted seems to US Italian.
In short, a man can no more escape
from his race than he can escape
from his century. It is the misfor-
tune Of the historical novelist that |
he must try to do both. Professor

MARKETING IN PARIS.
People Buy In Homeopathic Quantities
In Many Different Places.

People BUY In Homeopathic Quantities
In Many Different Places.
As it is more and more the ten
dency among Americans to select
some speciality of profession, the
same proclivity is displayed here in
a rude way among provision deal
ers. The butcher sells only beef,
mutton and lamb. The tripier has
sole claim to the head. brains, liver,
heart, feet, etc. If one wishes fowl,
he must go to the fruiterer, and there
are others who have the monopoly
of game. If two men hire store
in the same building, the goods of
one cannot be like those of his
neighbor. With this brief sugges-
ton of the divisions, it is easy to see
that marketing becomes something
more than giving an order over a
telephone wire.
The streets in the morning are
quite filed with women making
their daily purchases. Nearly every
woman carries a basket or net bag.
Since fruit and vegetables seldom
have paper, the latter discloses much
of her bill of fare. Being obliged
to go to each store, she generally
carries her groceries. But they
may be delivered by boy who bal
ances a fiat basket on his head and
often reads newspaper on his way.
He would make a good messenger
boy. The greater part of trading is
done outside the store at low coun-
tiers or with street vendors. To
their carts is attached a harness
which either monsieur or madame
slips over the shoulders. The wom-
ems voices as they call their wares
are fearfully vibrant and heavy.
Those must have been terrible
sounds given by the starving mar
ket women when they assailed the
palace at Versailles. The loud cry
of one advertising her goods makes
the stranger shudder.
Other women, in contrast to these,
are those who sell fish in the great
wholesale markets. They are rich.
They wear a bonnet with real lace,
and true diamonds glitter on their
unclean, odorous hands. Their dress
is of excellent material, covered
with white apron.
The baker with a. suit of white is
patronized for bread at least by
nearly every family in Paris. It is
found in all shapes and varieties.
Just before it is taken from the oven
steam is turned in upon it, giving
very brown crust. It lis said that
France has been famed for its bread
since the seventeenth century. It
seems very possible, if one were to
judge the date of the make from the
hardness of its crust. The French
breakfast consists of a roll and a
cup of coffee. These were our first.
