STAFFORD Springs, Conn.

Dear Sir: What Is lumber worth
Depends on the lumber" you say
"what sort do you want ?"
That's how some people talk about
paint. They ask: "What'll you paint
my house for?''
The Yankee answer is Chow do you
want it painted? One coat ? two coats ?
three coats first-class or cheap"
The proper answer is: 81 want the best
paint put on as it ought to be-"
That's Devoe; but the usual answer is:
81 want good job; but I want it cheap. y
Which means: want you to paint it for
nothing. I want to be fooled.
Lead and oil is the costliest paint there
is not the best; it used to be best. De
voc Is best, since zinc came in Devot
lead and zinc.
Zinc toughens the lead and doubles its
wear.
Zinc costs no more than lead and We
grind by machinery.
We have no patent on zinc; but no
body else is treating it right. Devoe is
your paint.
Yours truly,

FACTS FOR HOUSEWIVES.
Women vitality Interested In the
Sugar Trust Problem.

women vitality interested In the
Sugar Trust Problem.
The sugar trust Is not for Bryant
That is the slogan of the sugar trust
and it is being passed along the line
with all the hurrah that the trust can
muster.
But what will the American house
wives and their husbands, the Ameri
can homekeepers, do about IT?
Less than two months ago the sugar
trust compelled the surrender of all
competitors by arbitrarily reducing
prices so that competition was out OF
the question, as the subjolned figures
taken from the York Pa.l Press, will
show.
The Press, after telling that the tariff
has raised prices on sugar, quotes:
May %, 1900, $500 per 100 pounds
May %. 1900, $3.50 per 100 pounds.
May 26, 1900. So per 100 pounds.
May 81. 1900. $3.50 per 100 pounds.
June 1. 1900, $500 per 100 pounds.
June A. 1900. $50 per 100 pounds.
June &c, 1900, $3.50 per 100 pounds.
July 5, 1900, $500 per 100 pounds.
July 8, 1900, SO per 100 pounds.
These figures. The Press kindly in
forms it's readers, "are the refHers
card rates. from which the wholesalers
nre allowed a rebate Of Is points and a
discount of per cent. This would
make the Sc rate of today yield S5.79
per 100 pounds to the refncr."
And yet each raise Of one-tenth of g
cent per pound on sugar Imposes q
gross tax of $5.000,00O per year upon
the people of this country; for every
man, woman and child is sugar user.
and the annual consumption is 5000
100000 pounds. Thus the raise from
$500 to Sc per 100 pounds is equiva-
lent to an additional arbitrary tax of
$40,G00000 per year. though the sugar
monopolists were already drawing
from the pockets of American house
wives S200O0o,00o a year in excess OF
their rIghtful profits.
But that's what the sugar trust is II
business for. and so with all other trusts
And therefore the sugar trust and the
other trusts win not support Mr.. Bryan
whose election would mean their de
struction.
And now what win the homemakers
and homekeepers do about it7-Johns

No city In the world takes as muel
trouble to keep its milk supply pure
as does New York, says The Herald
There are only six government in
spectors for the counties Of New York
Queens, Richmond, Nassau and SUI
folk, but the health department EN-
ploys a large staff Of men for this pur.
pose on its own account
Every train and boat which brings
milk to the city Is met on its arrival
by an inspector, who takes sample
from every consignment with his
lactometer. Thus far this season the
supply has been singularly free from
impurities, but this has been due only
to the unceasing vigilance Of the In
spectors.
When one considers the fact that
100000 gallons Of the fluid are con
surned in the city during each summer
month, one can appreciate ti2p neces-
sity Of guarding against an IMPURE
supply, for bad milk win quickly breed
disease, especially among infants.
Milk to be up to government stand
ard must contain 3 per cent OF butter
fat and IL per cent milk solids. This,
however, has been considered rather
low by the state board of health, and
II a consignment Is found to be not
up to this mark the arrest of the
vender quickly follows. Putting water
in the milk is now. as 1t has been from
time immemorial, the most common
form Of adulteration

PHYSICAL FACTS.

The bones of the arm are long cyiin
ders because in this shape they have tn,
great strength with the least expenditur,
of material.
The eyelashes are placed in front Of tn,
eyes to protect those delicate organs from
the light and from the entrance of for
eign objects.
Moderate cold is stimulant becaus,
it drives blood from the surface of til,
body and induces exercise in order to re
store circulation.
When an artery has been severed, tn,
blood comes in jets because the hear
throws 1t directly to the point where til,
artery has been cut.
A blow on the head seems to cause !
flash Of light in the eyes because ligh
is the only impression the optical nerve
is capable Of receiving.
The bones never touch each other, bu
are separated by their membranes, be
cause if they did touch there would b.
less elasticity of motion.
People perceive an odor because small
particles of matter are detached from tht
odorous body and conveyed by the ali
to the nerves of the nose.
Coughing often Increases a headache
because In the act the hearts beating il
augmented, and the flow of the blood tc
the head is thus increased.
Deaf people place their hands behind
their ears because the hand thus placed
acts as an ear trumpet and conveys q
larger volume Of sound to the ear
The stomach has a churning motion,
which during the process of digestion is
continuous, in order that the food may
be properly mixed with the gastric juice
In passing from darkness into light
the eye is panied because the pupil is
widely extended and so much light enters
as to cause pain to the optic nerve.

Matching Horses.

To Judge by what has been seen in
London this season. says the London
Stock Journal, there seems to be a
probability of change In the existent
public prediction in favor of harness
pairs which match in color. OF late ii
has been the fashion to drive horses of
exactly similar shades Of coat, but
quite recently several odd pairs of
great merit and well matched In every
point but color have been less infre-
quent than formerly. Such pairs as a
gray and q chestnut. or a black and a
dark gray, certainly present a very
sporting appearance, and a good col
ored dun with gray. or a skewbald
and chestnut. though not precisely
quiet looking. make great show If
they move and carry themselves well.
On theother hand. bay and chestnut.
or brown and bay. do not show to
advantage. But perhaps the strangest
combination of all is a skewbald and
a piebaId, such as was recently seen In
the park.
