Letter to A. IL. Converse.

O0e1UVsU APVUeSo, OVItNt.
Dear Sir: When you build house you
want good paint next the wood-it goes
long way In taking care of the wood.
The paint that has the best chance to be
useful is this first coat: first two coats:
first three coats. The first takes care Of
the wood; the second takes care of the
first; the third takes care of the two. All
three become one; and that one is to last
forever. "Forever" means as long as the
house lasts. The way to make the first
painting last, as long as the house, is to
follow it up with repainting often enough.
How often? Depends on the paint. Re-
paint while the paint is still waterproof.
All the wear is outside; there Is no wear
on the under paint. This is how the first
painting lasts forever: by keeping it COW
cred: keeping 1t sound. And this is the
cheapest way to take care of a house.
But how often to paint depends ON your
paint. II you paint lead and oil, paint
again in three years or less; If Devoe lead
and zinc, paint again in three years OF
more.
That "less" and "more" are about az
one to two. Devoe lead and zinc takes
care of house at half cost, because II
lasts twice as long.
Yours truly,
F. w, DEyoE & Co.

In AdIer.S Windows.

The silk worms in Adler's show win
dows are attra citing a great deal of at
tention. Hundreds Of people flock to see
the wonderful things. This museum of
natural history is from silk-worm farm
at Gentryville. Mo. The modus operandi
of making silk by these little mechanics
is interesting. The mysterious ways of
the divine Master in using the humblest
means to attain great ends, are exempli
fed right here. That the brilliant Kohl
moor diamond should be but The product
of little piece of black charcoal, is not
more astounding than that the iridescent
sheen of the $4,000 wedding gown, which
will adorn Millionaire Clarks daughter
next month, is possibly the identical pro-
duct CT these same crawling, wriggling
animalculae. 1t is certainly a pleasure to
watch the deft work of these little arti-
sans, as they spin the fibrous silk into
cocoons, and like Mahomet's coffin, swing
thems elves into space entombed in their
own life's work. And like the Irishman's
wake, they seem satisfied If they can
make themselves the principal feature of
the funeral These silk worms will remain
in Aclers store window for three or four

be unable to do, and IL Mr.. st. Johns de-
sire can influence his action, all will be
we'll pleased. The vice president could
not say just when the announcement of
official positions, and theig incumDents
would be made but it seemed that he had
an ijea of relieving the uncertainty at a
net very distant date.
Mr.. st. John confirmed the announce
ment that the Seaboard would withdraw
its differential on passenger business,
which has b. en- a sort of bugabear to COM
peting lines. He declared that the Sea-
board, as a short line. will have attrac-
ii ms and Undue sments to offer the travel
log public that will render it unnecessary
for it to employ differential He believes
Il can get the business without having re-
course to the diferenial. Other matters
connected with the opening up and de-
velopment of the Seaboard and the coun-
try through which it extends were dis
cussed By the vice pr sldent, and it was
clear enough that he was thoroughly IA
miliar vita his subject.
None of the visiting railroad party re-
ceived more cordial welcome from the
citizens that did Mr.. v. E. McBee, the
general superintendent of the Seaboard
Air Line Mr.. McBee is well remembered
here as the general superintendent of
the Central Railroad under the Richmond
and Danville regime. The old Central
was then undergoing an eclipse, and the
new officials were looked upon by many
as unwelcome intruders. Mr.. McBees
bluff and hearty ways won him friends
on all sides, and although there were
some who swore that he was h pirate
and buccaneer, all admitted that he
was man from head to foot, and that
he knew his business thoroughly.
when l left Savannah, eight years
ago, they were getting up a vigilance
committee TO escort me out of town" said
Mr. McI3ee TO a friend. ~ have been
digging through mud and sand ever
since 10 get back here. 1 always liked
Savannah, and I am glad to be connected
with road that has made an opening
here. 1 shall take pleasure in aiding in
Savannah's development in every way
that can"
Now that Mr. McBee is the general SUI
perintendent of one of abe leading rail-
way systems entering Savannah, IL is TO
be hoped that he will favor the city with
his presence oftener.
When the Clifton tied up at her wharf
the passengers made their way ashore,
taking carriages and hacks that were in
waiting. All were told to keep their
change, as the Seaboard would not permit
such thing as one of it's guests paying
for a ride, and a representative of the
company was busily engaged later in dis
tributing quarters and halves among the
hackmen, who had enjoyed a harvest.
