Dear Sirs:-Perhaps you would like

paint in the world: Devoe lead and zinc.
1t is right to put before you the facts as
TO why IL is the foremost.
~ Best materials: lead. zinc, dryer,
color, and linseed oil, ONLY used in it.
~ 1t contains nothing else whatever:
no water, no alkali. no benzine, 40 pc
troleum, no fish oil, no barytes, no
whiting-no adulterant.
i3) Your state chemist not only has
analyzed the paint, and verifics and
(2) but he is going to buy it and analyze
it occasionally, and thus watch over the
interests of your customers.
I4) 1t is proper toned for wear.
(5) 1t is mixed intimately and ground
fine.
(6) 1t is full measure 1921 cubic inches
gallon
(7) 1t is sold at so low a price as to
make it cheaper than lead and oil.
tS) 1t wears twice as long, and there
fore costs less than half as much by the
year.
(9) You can refund the money If any
customer is dissatisfied.

The Cry For Coal.
C. A. STEPHENSON,
Reynoldsville, Pa.

Day before yesterday, perhaps it was,
a dispatch announced that coal had
risen TO the highest price ever known
in England, and now dispatch an
nounces like fact in Germany. Cham
bers of commerce have petitioned the
government for relief on this account,
and 1.-The Prussian cabinet has resolved
to grant a modified railroad tariff for
foreign coal in order to facilitate the
Importation of coal from England and
the United States. The Prussian min.
lister has laid an embargo on all the
coal mined in the state mines" This
last evidently means that he has order
ed the entire output to be reserved for
government uses: none is to be sold to
individuals. The prospect OF supply
from England does not seem very bright,
seeing what is said of the price OF II
there, and seeing the statement received
recently, that manufacturers in Scot
land were considering the question OF
closing their works until they can buy
coal at a price which will leave them
some profit on what they manufacture.
The present state of affairs is unusual,
but, when it has passed away, there is
no telling how soon IT may recur. Late
in the sixties there was scarcity OF
coal in England and scare raised by
the idea that the stock of it in the earth
there was approaching exhaustion,
which idea has been in circulation late.
ly, though in modified form, as that a
great amount of coal remains, but at
such depth that it is becoming un.
profitable to mine it. There was then
prediction that electricity would be
brought in to fill its place as fuel, the
electricity to be produced by water
power or largely So and transmitted to
the points OF consumption. That for
the old world the matter of fuel supply
under circumstances like those prevail
ing has become serious one cannot
well be doubted. .-Pittsbuurg Dails
