Phe Torture of n Flax Shirt.

The most trying ordeal that Booker
L. Washington was forced to endure as
a slave boy was the wearing of a fax
Slavery" he says:
''In the portion of Virginia where l
lived it was common to use fax as part
of the clothing for slaves. That part
of the flax from which our clothing
was made was largely the refuse,
which of course was the cheapest and
toughest part. | can scarcely imagine
any torture except perhaps the pulling
of Il tooth that is equal to that caused
by pulling on new flax shirt for the
first time. 1t Is almost equal to the
feeling that one would experience If he
had a dozen or more chestnut burs or 4
hundred small pin points in contact
with the flesh. Even to this day | can
recall accurately the tortures that I'M
derwent when pulling on one of these
garments. The fact that my flesh was
soft and tender added to the pain. But
l had no choice. l had to wear the fax
shirt or none, and had 1t been left TO
me to choose l should have chosen to
wear no covering.
I'm connection with the flax shirt my
brother IoEl, who is several years old
er than | am, performed one of the
most generous acts that | ever heard of
one slave relative doing for another.
On several occasions when I was being
forced to wear a now fax shirt he gen.
CronSly agreed to put it on in my stead
and wear it for several days till it was
broken in Until l had grown to be
quite youth this single garment was
ell that wore"

Letter to l.. X. Huntington.
Emporium, Pa.

Dear Sir: Most painters insist that
lead and oil is good for three years;
but they also insist that it needs going
over again in three years. 1t is as
much as to say it's good job of paint
that lasts three years.
Which is true; and better that lasts
six years. Lead and oil lasts three;
Devoe lead and zinc lasts six
When paint begins to let in water,
then is the time to repaint. 1t may be
one year; it may be ten. Lead and oil
lasts three, ifwell put on; lead and zinc
lasts six if ground together and well
put on. But painters are better ac-
quainted with lead than with zinc.
Zinc is newer
Devoe lead and zinc is the proper
mixture, ground in oil by machinery;
same proportions as used by the U. S.
Government.
Yours truly,
81 T. w. DEVoE & Co.

Secretaries.
Quay as q Scholar.

Those who have been led to be-
lieve that Senator Quay's ability
was limited to knowledge of
practical politics have had very
superficial acquaintance with his
real character. Quay is first Of all
a student and philosopher. He
has an astonishingly wide fund of
information, and is q charming con-
versationalist. Literature is his
delight. Science, philosophy, his
tory and poetry are as familiar to
him as Pennsylvania politics.
A man was sent from the Lon
don Times a year or so ago to write
an article ON "Politics and Politi-
clans in the United States" Quay
was suggested to him as the typical
politician. He supposed him to be
Il Richard Croker, a machine boss
whose knowledge was limited to
scheming and manipulation. He
visited Senator Quay at Beaver.
The "Old Man" was seated in his
library. The Londoner told Quay
where he was from, and said he
had called to pay him a little visit.
They soon became engaged in con-
versation about European politics,
which drifted into history, science,
philosophy and general literature.
Three hours passed, and the man
forgot his mission. Not a word
had been spoken of practical pol
itics in the United States.
Next day he called again and had
the same experience.
He wanted to know how Quay
managed politics in Pennsylvania,
but instead had listened to a
philosophical disquisition on the
evolution Of governments, and a
general survey of history, litera-
ture, science and art.
He went back to New York and
sent q cablcgram to his paper that
he had talked for two days with the
man who was recommended to him
as the best type of a purely politi-
cal machine manager in America
and had discovered philosopher
and a poet, and man whose gen
eral knowledge was so broad and
so profound that he should be call
ed a savant rather than q politi-
clan.
Senator Quay never affected the
oratorical art. He is not of that
temperament. 1t requires intense
egotism and considerable love of
ostentation to excel in the rhetoric
OF defamation. Senator Quay is
modest. Hence, because he said
little, he was accredited by many
with knowing little except practi-
cal politics. But whenever Quay
has spoken or written anything it
has been mastery. At the banquet
given in his honor by his Philadel-
phia friends last Tuesday night,
where there were many noted ora
tors, Quay's speech was incom-
parably the best. 1t was richest in
Thought and knowledge, and his
English was classic in its purity,
simplicity and sententiousness. =
