every loyal British heart is proud of them.
Not onle the Queens household, but yours,

great when the gre ttes foes OF life, dis
eases, find allies in the very elements, as
colds, Influenza, catarrn, the grip and pneu-
monia do in the stormy month OF March.
The best way that We know OF to guard
against these diseases is TO strengthen the

LETTER TO II. w, KEMP.
Montpelier, W

Dear Sir: Your business is, when a house
burns down, to give the owner some money
to build new one. L. is good business.
Queer that the world got on 30 long with.
out it,.
We paint the one that burnt down and
the new one too. What is better, we paint
the houses that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn; we in
sure the houses that dom. You have the
We paint lead and zinc: Devoe. We sell
the paint to painters; we don't paint.
Lead and oil is the old fashioned paint.
Devoe is zinc ground in with the lead and
linseed oil-same proportions az used by
U. S. Government; the best paint in the
world; and the cheapest, because the wurH
is all done by ma hinery.
Nobody wants poor paint; there's lots o.
it, though, in the world.
Yours truly,
19P. S. f. W. DEvoE & Co.

NINETY SECOND ANNIVERSARY.

Two years ago Saturday the JOURNAL re
corded the fact that Mr.. Geo. W. Scott was
celebrating the ninetiett anniversary OF his
birth. Mr.. Scott then appeared to his old
time neighbors and friends very much as
they had known him for generation. Four
score and ten years had not dimmed his eye
and his mental powers showed no sign OF
abatement There was the same kindly
expression of countenence, the reflection OF
kindly heart, the sam courtesy OF man
ner and clearness OF speech and judgment,
and he was still pursuing the course of life
he had been following for nearly genera
ton. In summer he WAS az work in his
garden, nearly every day he made his way
usually on foot, to the rooms OF the Mont
pelier national bank, and Sunday found hin
at his accustomed place in Bethany church
