Growing ;n Favor.

When an article has been on the market fo, thirty years and has continually grown in favor with the public it is safe to assume that it has
 merit. This is true ill the case of H. W. Johns Liquid Paints. The demand for them has be. come we'll nigh world wide-the resnlt of the excellent qualities of the paint Consumers who have used them have become convinced of their superior covering capacity and consequent econ- ony. Carefully made by latest improved mech anica1 methods, of high grade pigments, and pure Linseed Oil, they are the perfection of prepared paint, and it is not surprising that they have become generally recognized as the Standard Paints for Structural Purposes Owing to the greater durability of H. W. Johns Liquid Paints as compared with ordinary grades, less frequent: application is required, thus effecting a saving that is appreciated by the who pays the bills. Intending purchasers of paint will fne 1t to their interest to write H. W. Johns Mfg Co., 100 William Street, New York, giving description of buildings to be painted, and secure from them suggestions as to color treatment, in order to in aure the use of harmonizng shades.
 H. W. Johns Paints are carried in stock b. Philo Nichols, Newtown, Conn.,, who will :! C pleasedto give any desired information.

TOWN TOPICS,
FIRE AT w. C. RUSSELL'S BARN.


About } o'clock, Tuesday, Mrs M. C. Hawley discovered smoke coming from the barn of W. c. Russell and imme diately sent Patrick Cannon. to inves tigate. He found that the barn or the rear had become ignited from a pile ot straw. He gave the alarm and with help quickly eXtinguished sthe blaze. In five minutes more there would have been no saving the build ing for just inside the barn and not a foot away was large pile of hay. The fire had started from some refuse that had been thrown on to the straw and in which was spark. The timely dis covery and prompt work undoubtedly saved the village from another big fire, for the barns ofSMrs Hawley are close to MT Russell's bau1, as is also the house occupied by H. w. Plumb of Bridgeport. Mir Russell wishes to ex- tend thanks to those who so willingly extinguished the blaze and to show his appreciation has made liberal contribution to the fund being raised to buy hand fire engine and hose, which this blaze again Illustrates the need of in the village and vicinity.

LETTER TOE. w. TROY, JR.

SANDY HOOK.
 Dear Sir: A painter wants to know what his paint is made of. That's all right: he's welcome.
 Devoe is whitehead and white-zinc ground together in linseed oil. There is nothing else in it, but color and tur- pentine dryer Ouragent in your town has the official State Chemists cer- tificate of analysis certifying to that effect.
 t is the zinc and the grinding that make it wear twice as long as lead and oil mixed by hand
 Yours truly,
