Letter to W. Smith.

Dear Sir: Postmaster Noyes, of
Gardiner, Maine, says the Evans
House there, was painted with Devoe
in 'S2, and again '94-twelve years
and the point was sound, though of
course the color had faded.
II. w. Haines, Hotel Coburn, Skow-
hogan, Maine, uses lead and OIL and
has painted four times in eleven years.
Both hotels have been well cared for;
the costs are as five to one. We say
generally the costs are as two to one
that's enough. Yours truly,
81 +. w. DEvOE IL Co.

Building a CITY.

Is it not bit singular that in 5.7s7

a city? The first city in the world wa

by Eden, and name it after son
Enoch? The city of Enoch was better
suited to the needs of that age than
New York is to the needs of this. The
trouble is, we build other things de-
signedly; but cities rise up haphazard
Like Topsy, they just grow. Once
established, with corporation and a
cathedral, they forever after, retain
their worst aspects, with streets as
crooked as dogs hind leg and with
fewer commercial conveniences than

A Wonderful Fent

Recently a party from the embas-
sizes at Constantinople went to in
spect the international lifeboat serv-
ice on the Black sea coast. At one
of the life-saving stations thew
thought they would like to test the
conditions of lifeboat work. So.
clothing themselves in bathing cos
tunes and cork jackets, they each
took an oar in lifeboat, to the huge
delight of the Turkish boatmen.
One of the secretaries of the British
embassy is never seen without an
eyeglass, and is said even to sleep
with it. On this occasion he was
faithful to the glass, and solemnly
embarked in cork jacket and eye
glass. All the proper exercises were
gone through, and finally the boat
was capsized and righted again by
its own crew. AS they crept from
under the capsized boat howl of
surprise came from the Turks. for
the secretary's head appeared with
the eyeglass firmly fixed in its prop
er position, its owner taking it as a
matter of course that it should be
there.-Lpndon Telegraph.
