Dear Sir: 1t is ;your business 10 know
what materials to put into house az well
as to plan it, OF course you know the
effect of zinc on lead in paint-toughens It.
DO you also know the greater effect OF zinc
ground in?
For painter can't grind; he can only
mix. Devoe lead and zinc is thoroughly
ground in oil. The result is an intimate
mixture.
Your painter can only mix; ne can't
grind there's no need Of grinding by hand.
He should buy lead and Gins ground to.
gether in oil.
Devoe lead and zinc is that; the proper.
tons are right besides. 1t outlasts lead
and oil two to one, and costs no more
even less; for handwork can't compete
with machne.work.
Yours truly,

SuperStitiouS Great Men.

Superstition has not only prevented
mankind from attaining a superior
eminence of happiness, but what is
more deplorable, it has added a great
degree to an already extensive cata-
logue of earthly miseries. 1t is not
by the ignorant alone that supersti-
tious beliefs are entertained, but by
many eminent men of the past and
present. DR.. Samuel Johnson was a
firm believer in ghosts and second
sight. Josephus, the great Jewish
historian, relates that he saw the
extraordinary sight of an evil spirit
being induced to leave the body OF
an afflicted mortal upon the applica.
ton of Solomon's seal to the patient
nostril. James VI, who was noted
for his intellectual attachments and
theological learning, was a firm be
lever in witchcraft. So deep a hold
did this absurd notion have on him
that he published a work upholding
this doctrine and actually punished al
who opposed the belief.

Finest Humor Always Unconscious,

One characteristic of the finest
hnmor, touched on already, we must
come back to: the quality of I'M
consciousness, says Charles Johnston
in the Atlantic. Neither Bret Harte
nor Mark Twain, when they wrote OF
the Luck, of Miss, of Captain Ned
Blakely, of Buck Fanshaw and Scotty
Briggs, had any idea how great they
were, or even that they were great 1T
all; they never dreamt that these
sketches for the local journal would
outlive the week that saw their birth,
and at last make the circuit of tie
world, becoming part of the
permanent wealth of man That
gives these stories their inimitable
charm. There is none of the striving
of the funny man in what belongs to
that first period, no setting Of traps
for our admiration. This is the same
as saying that there is none of that
instinct of egotism which prompts
man to laugh at his fellow, to show
how much wiser and clever he himself
is. 1t is all free, generous, and
bountiful as the sunshine of the land
where is was conceived, full of the
spontaneous lift of nature herself

Three Types.
Morning, sir. "

One woman loved me. She was sweet
and shy,
With roguish smiles and merry,
dimpling face;
lowering round me like butterfly,
Bestowing kisses with a dainty
grace.
But when we faced the future-and
she knew
With startled, angry eyes she set
me free.
Although her heart was tolerant and
true,
She loved me not enough to sin for
me.
Another woman loved me- No dark
doubt
Her heart might vanquish or her
spirit tame;
Blind with a passion that had blotted
In radiant happiness all thought of
shame.
Through good or evil she my fate
would share.
Proudly unmindful of the worlds
decree,
Willing for loves sweet sake all ills to
bear,
She loved me Well enough to sin for
me.
Another woman, calm and holy-eyed,
Cold to all others, me her great
heart gave;
Supremacy happy if but by my side,
Longing in secret to be but my
slave.
She spent her sad, despairing life
alone
And that she loved me best of all
the three
Was by her brave remuneration
shown
She loved me far too well to sin for

CHAPTER XLVI,

There was no previous knowledge
of Violet on Miss Marr's part; the
name of Miss Beaton" told her moth
ing. She looked long and lingeringly
at the beautiful face before her.
The heiress' warm, genial manner
had touched Violet's heart! and then,
to make her welcome complete, the
lovely brunette drew Violet down to d
seat on the couch by her side.
"You must find life very dull at
Queens Elm" she said; you must
have plenty of courage to bear it."
Something in the fair face told the
wealthy girl that perhaps it was not
so bravely borne after all; there was
a restlessness and a longing upon it.
Miss Mari smiled, as she continued:
Coming to Queens Elm always
seems to me like coming to another
world it is SO quaint, so quiet, so
out of all the other grooves of life.

| second, | begin to feel dull; the
third, l am tired; and the fourth,

year and remain for month; then

Miss Mari talked on purposely, be-
cause she saw confusion and en-
barrassment in the face of her COM
panion. Why it should be so she
could not think, being a perfect
stranger to her.
How strange it must seem to have
no men in the house." the heiress
alone-I cannot imagine anything
more quiet and tame. We shall not
be able to get up even the faintest at
tempt at a sensation of any kind.
Still I may be very grateful that you
are here"
THAT girl has story" said Mis-;
Mari to herself when she was alone
"she has a story Of no common kind
written on her face"
Violet, on her part, watching the
heiress, came to the conclusion tnat
with all her outward brilliancy and
brightness, she was not really happy
When Violet went suddenly into a
room, she would find her sad, very
often with traces Of tears on her face
When she was off her guard, the
heiress did not appear to be the same
brilliant woman the world judged
her.
For some few days after her ar
rival she was listless, and seemed tC
be buried in deep thought, and she
took little part in the conversation
going around her.
"Gwennie, you have lost your higf
spirits" Mrs. Ingram said to her one
day; you do not laugh and talk as
you used to do"
Il am growing old and steady
grandmamma. Life loses its sweetes
illusions as the years pass
Keep them as long as you can,

she answered. Had she found an
4 part of life sweet?
Yes, when she first knew her brave

SING WHILE THEY WEAVE.
Makers of Cashmere ShaWis Are Hap.
py at Their Looms

4 recent traveller through northern
India tells an interesting incident in
connection with a visit which she
made to one of the rude little homes
in Cashmere, where the world
renowned India shawls are made It
CHANGED to be very hot day, even for
India, and when our traveller found
herself being conducted through 4
dusty, d1ngy, narrow street toward a
squalid little house she almost re-
GREETED her inherent thirst for know
ledge.
However, upon entering a little
room she found 10 or a dozen men
sitting on the floor patiently weaving
the richly hued threads in and out and
evidently happy, since, notwitbstand-
ing the heat and general dinginess,
they were chanting together some
pleasing little melody.
While watching them at their care
full, painstaking labor she noticed that
each man had a little slip of pap y
pinned to his work, which she
