LETTER TO E. w. BARRON, BARTON, VT.
Dear Sir: H. M. Hooker & Co., Cooperstown,
N. Y, have sold Devoe paint for AZ years. D.
T. McGown, of that firm built house in '85
and painted Devoe of course. The paint la ST
ed ten years.
year or two later, a neighbor built
house, and painted it lead and oil. The
neighbours house was reprinted twice in the
same time.
This looks as if the neighbours house was
painted three times in eight nine years,
and McGown's once in ten years. We are not
quite sure-we tell the tale as it comes to us.
It Is enough to say that Devoe lead and
zinc lasts twice as long as lead and oil.
Yours truly,
F.W. DEvoE & Co.

Our education during youth is di
rected less to our whole lives than to
our careers, and, in great measure,
our desires and aims are to qualify US
for bread winning. Special courses
of mind absorbing study often ex-
clude the knowledge and the enjoy
ment of the graces of life, the tuning
of the ear, the eye and the heart to
the keynote of all that is beautiful in
nature. Yet the world, which lies
outside the daily grind, is the one
which invites, and is worthy more
than the fieeting glimpses we snatch
in passing. Happy is the one whose
business of bread winning-be it the
making of laws, sermons, or bonnets
does not imprison him nor hold him
as with ball and chain, but who finds
time in the anxiety of getting and
spending to enjoy kinship with nature;
to note the first tender shoot of green,
or the crimsoning of the bough; to
see the worlds best pictures, to listen
to it's best music, Or to associate with
little children, the Wise Ones of the
world. Livelihood is not life, and
many of life's best treasures are un
marketable wares. The study of ma
ture will lead to the cultivation of a
finer sympathy, simplicity and kindi-
ness of spirit. 1t is distinctly among
the things that are worth while

The best lesson a father can give his
son is this: ''Work, strengthen your
moral and mental faculties, as you
would strengthen your muscles by
vigorous exercise. Learn to conquer
circumstances; you are then indie
pendent of fortune. The men of attn
letic minds, who left their marks on
the years in which they lived, were all
trained in rough school."-Er.

VICTIM OF HIS OWN JOKE.
Some Buzzard Eggs Which Reached .
 Wrong Destination.

This is a true story of Sheriff Brookshire of Williamson county, Tex as. and what came of his efforts to play practical joke on his wife. Sher- If Brookshire is full Of good nature, crd the love of fun is his predominant cA-rec .ec.stsc. To get the laugh on frIsa6 E ta him the next best thing to round 7g up band of horse thieves. He is owner of good-sized ranch, and while working out in pasture near his home some time since came across buzzard's nest, in which reposed four as handsome snow-white eggs as the eye of man ever looked upon. The dis. coVery of these eggs immediately set him to thinking of little game that he would play upon his faithful spouse. Wrapping them up with care he bore them to his house, intending to tell Mrs. Br0okshire that he haG been pre- sented with some uneommon1y fine egs from a fancy breed of chickens, and that 1t was the proper thing to put them under one of her setting hens immediately. He knew how fond she was Of having choice specimens of the feathered tribe, and shook with laugh ter as he pictured her disgust when these young buzzards should be matched out. Revolving these merry thoughts, he went into the kitchen to make the presentation. It happened that his wife was not there, and he placed them on a table, intending to call her attention to them later. Just at this time he was called out of his domicile on very important business, and the matter was of consequence enough to drive all thoughts of the joke out of his head He stayed away a couple Of hours and when he reached home supper was ready. Being rather hungry from his tramp in the pasture, the sheriff sat down to the table and ate with good relish the viands before him Suddenly the recollection of hi8 find flashed across his mind. My dear" said he, when I left the house awhile ago l put some eggs on the ta- ble yonder Did you get them?" T certainly did, and you have just eaten them for your supper" quoth Mrs. Brookshire Why, what on earth ails you?" as the sheriff clapped both hands about the middle of his corpor- osity and rushed for the open air. She thought, maybe, that he had been sud- denly seized with fit of some kind, and followed to render assistance It took him several hours to recover. bat he has utterly renouneed practical jok- g.-Washingten Post.

UNCLE SAM's
Methods of Guarding Vaults of the
 United States Treasury.

Washington Special Chicago Trib- une: Frequently remarks are heard as to how easy 1t would be for a handful of determined desperadoes to make away with a rich haul of gold and sil- yer as it is being transferred to or from the vaults of the treasury on one Of the business thoroughfares of this city At any hour of the day curious crowd can be seen standing about the heavy platform at the Fifteenth street entrance to the treasury, upon which small iron safes containing money are being placed in transferring currency to and from the treasury. Speculation is always indulged in and plans formu- lated for making away with large amount of Uncle Sam's gold. Those who indulge in this wild speculation are not aware of the danger which would attend such an undertaking. In the first place, it requires at least three men to handle each safe, and it would be almost an impossibiiity to wrest these treasure-laden boxes from those who have charge of them. Even if this should be done, the robbers would not be able to get away with the booty, as within an incredibly short time num- Der Of government employees armed to the teeth would be on the spot. It is not generally known, but inquiry de- veloPed the fact that the seedy men who loiter around with no apparent aim in life are expert marksmen. These men can shoot equally well with either hand, and would furnish highly entertaining sport for any one who should attempt to rob Uncle Sam They are employed by the government at a good salary. Aside from these ex- pert marksmen at the main entrance of the building will be found a number of watchmen. each Of whom is provided with a rifle. Secreted in one of the rooms are two gatling guns, and it would require but q short time to bring all these arms into play To the lay man 1t would seem to be an apparent ly easy matter to steal some of the governments funds, but 1t is safe to say a number of lives would be for fefted if such a foolhardy attempt were made.

queer Devices for U.e in Warfare.

Now while war is going on the pro- life brain of the inventor is busy de- vising ways in which to speedily an- ,nihilate the enemy. One ingenious in- dividual, an Englishman, suggests a mist or fog ball with which to envelop an antagonist in impenetfable dark ness. The balls are easily broken spheres, containing ammonia and acids. which, on escaping, create very dense fog, wrapping everything uear it in a haze until blown away by the wiLd! He argues that this would be most efficacious method of prevent ing the Boers from aiming at English troops. Another proposes to blind the foe by firing into their midst bullets filled with pepper-thus doing double good work, both disabling the enemy and increasing the consumption of our colonial produce.

SIclLIAN BRIGANDS
Have Been Terroriztng the Islands Dur
 ing the Past Year.


 Rome Correspondence of the Chi cago Record: Public security is at a low ebb in Sicily. Energetic mea ures have been adopted to stamp out brig andage in the island, but unless thess are persisted in there are slight hopes of definitely wiping away this standing disgrace of Italy. 1 an glad to say that in the continental kingdom life and property are comparatively secure. Telegrams from Catania announce that the brigand chiefs Santangelo and Destefano have been killed and their followers dispersed in an encounter with the earabiniefs, but they will as. semble again under some other blood thirsty villain Santangelo was only 21, and he entered on his lawless ca- reer in the mountains early in 1898, after having fired on a policeman who was trying to arrest one of his friends. tn September of that year he murdered a field laborer who had refused his in the forests around Mount Etna. In January last the two descended to the smiling Piana di Cetania and entered B farm where several labcrers were at work. They beckoned to one of them "a man named Puleo, who was said ko be in relations with the palice-and lold the others to stand aside. Puleo came up and was foully murdered. In May, in an attempt to capture them, one earabinier was killed and another wounded The brigands Manzelea and Castiglione were surprised by the po- lice in a house at CastellamaPe, near Palermo. They were wounded and ar rested after 8 severe conflict h the same district other freebeoters seized the son of well-to-do notary, took him up to the hills and obtained $4,000 for his ransom The police, while in search of the scoundrels, came upon another band of marauders and sue eeeded in a running fight in killing one of them and recovering much stolen property. The latest statistics give 27.9 murders per 100, 900 inhabitants in Sicily, while in Tuscany and upper Italy the average is about 6 per 100000.

Letters Whose Backs He Used for Copy
 Made Amu-ing Reading.


 Habits of thrift are generally com mendable, but sometimes they give cause for amusement without the per- son practieing them being aware of it. This was the case recently with we'll known clergyman, whose church is one Of the most f1ourishing of it's denomi- nation in the city. This clergyman re- ceives a salary of s6, ,0o0 a year and has in addition comfortable income of his own. He iE a liberal giYer to many charities, lives in a handsome brown-stone house. and apparently has less reason for economy than the average citizen. yet he has one habit perhaps better, one idiosyncrasy-tha might well be taken as an indication Of poverty by those who did not know the clergyman. With inborn Scotch thrift the minister makes use of the blank side of letters he receives when they are written '.on oDa side only" He was recently asked to prepare an article for magazine, h due tIrae the fnanuseript reached the editor GdCu page OI II WIlllS4 Qu bAS O5Sh of an old letter, and it was only too evident that he had paid no attention to whether or not the letters were of a personal character The letters fur nished rather curious commentary on the sort of letters metropolitan clergyman receive. Among them were: 4 notice from an insurance company that his policy had lapsed owing to the non payment of S156 premium. A note from the general passenger agent of railway refusing his request that pass from New York to Chicago be given to poor brother in the min istry. An appeal from poor widow for money to pay her rent and keep her from being dispossessed. A letter from broker, who was one of his con gregation, advising him to invest in 6 certain stock, as 1t was certain to be "a good thing" A criticism of one Of his sermons from one of the pillars of the church. 4 receipt showing that he had paid for the license of hts dog New York Herald

Crocodiles. like ostriches. swallow pebbles and small stones, which serve the purpose of grinding their food. The natives assert that 1t is possible to tell the age of crocodile by the number Of stones in its stomach, for they swai- low one each year. In point of fact
 fifteen stones have been found in the stomach of crocodile twelve feet long. whereas the average number for youa- ger ones varies between four and eight. So says Mir Voltkow, who has been studying the matter for several years.

wnl Develop Japansse Mines.

The Japanese government intends to introduce in the next session Of the diet law freeing foreigners from all re- strictions in regard to the mining busl- ness in Japan. The existing law pro hibits them from becoming sharehold, CTS or partners in any mining con- pany. By the new law such provision will be entirely done away with. It ia evident that the government is begin ming to realize that foreign capital will not come into the country unless for eign ownership privileges are first con- ceded. Mining enterprises requiring especially large amounts of capital such privileges will now probably be granted. And 1t is likely that they will ultimately be extended to cover foreign ownership of real estate and industrial shares. It is quite evident that the min- Ing resources of the empire are in an dndeveioped state. and that they are arousing growing interest and atten- tion.
