Precaution Is Necessary.

Men who go hunting and carry home
game which they did not shoot should
take warning from the fate of the man

American Paint Consumption.

About thirty million gallons of mixed
paint were sold In the United States
during 1901. The greater portion of
this was not used in the large cities,
but in the towns and villages, where
structures are Of wood. In no country
is so much paint made as In the United
States of America. and the bulk of that
paint is composed Of lead, zinc, and
llnseed oil. and only the darker shades
are made Of oxides of iron and other
pigments. Many manufacturers use
small quantity of water in their mix
lures, and when the quantity of
water Is not over per cent, 1t
cannot be regarded as an adulterant.
The water used Is usually slightly al
kallne, and In the case Of lime water II
forms calcium, soap with llnseed
oil and thickens the paint, SO that 1t
never settles hard In the tin and ia
easily stirred.

creased since. The miners feeling their
condition keenly, presented to the em-
ployers the following demand: An in
crease in wages of 10 per cent. A ton of
coal to consist of 2.240 pounds. The APP
pointment of man by the miners TO
witness the weighing of the coal.
The miners acted not only in concili-
atory opirit, but were willing TO submit
the case to arbitration. This the COM
panies rejected. The questions in dis
pute are matters of fact, not OF princi-
pie; hence there can be no good reason
why the companies should reject arbitra-
ton. Two months elapsed between the
formulation of the demands and the in
auguration OF the strike.
When 1t Is borne In mind that the an
thracite coal region Is limited in the pos
session OF hard coal, that there Is always
a demand for that product and, further,
that these mine operators and the rail-
roads are one and the same persons, con-
trolling the entire output as well as the
price for which coal Is sold, it is not diff
cult to see that there Is some other mo-
tive than the one advanced behind the
refusal to grant the miners reasonable
requests.
The conditions by which the miners
have been surrounded, the misery which
was their lot, must never again be posi-
BILE. They have moved upward and on
ward In the social and industrial scale.

The cashier of Il certa in firm had alb.

deciding on Il tit and proper person to
acquaint the head of the firm Of the
fact on his arrival.
Ultimately the matter was left In
the hands of the head clerk, possibly
because none Of the others cared 10 un.
dertake the responsibility.
There had been dogaght In the
street, and II small crowd was lust dis
persing as the chiefs carriage dashed
up.

gently and seized it,

ontory on the west bank of the
Hudson, at the entrance to the High
lands and opposite Yerplanck's Point.
At both these places during the reyo-
luton the American constructed forts.
The place was a most important one,
commanding the line of communlca-
ton between New England and the
other colonies. 1t was the key to the
Highlands.
Early In the summer of 1TT9 Sir
Henry Clinton, the British commander
at New York, sent an expedition up
the Hudson to capture the forts. The
expedition was successful. Stony
Point all the Notifications of which
were not quite completed, was aban-
doned by the Americans, and Yer
planck's Point was taken. Embolden-
ed by his success. Clinton sent out
other expeditions One of these, COM
manded by General Tryon, and con-
sisting of 1900 men, was sent to plum
der the coast Of Long Island Sound.

was found who knew the fort well and
he agreed 10 pilot the Americans to the
spot.
At midnight on July Is, 1879. the
storming party. In two divisions. APP
preached the fort No member of the
expedition was permitted to load his
musket, lest an accidental discharge
should ruin the movement. The bay
onet alone was to be depended upon.
The negro accompanied by two SOL
diers, disguised as farmers, reached
the first sentinel, TO whom the counter
sign was given. Instantly the sentinel
was bound and gagged. A second SEN
tinel underwent the same treatment.
A third sentinel, however, gave the
alarm and the garrison sprang to arms
and opened fire on the Americans. 1t
was too late, however. The latter,
advancing in two bodies on two sides
OF the fort broke into a run, scaled
the parapet aud met In the center Of
the fort. In the fight that followed
the Americans lost 10 killed and SO
wounded; but they captured the fort.

or Latin, or Euclid, or logarithms counts
hut little. 1t is question Of academism
versus matter of fact Homer or Virgil
would make but poor factor in closing
modern business deal. The youth OF
early training and experience ought in
my opinion to be qualified to run any
thing from a peanut stand to railroad
much better than the raw college prod
uct, even though the latter may be able
to write a business letter In Sanscrit or
make out bill of goods in Ranic cunei-
form.
There Is no royal or certain road TO
success. Chance and opportunity often
arise, and there is many a so-called self
made man who Is ninetenths accident.
But he Is an exception. | believe, how
ever, that, all things else being equal,
the colegc-bred man or the highly edu-
Gated man has by far the better oppor-
tunity to succeed in life, as compared
with the usual type Of self-made man.
Ii the former would do what the latter
must do or has done to win, II the young
man from college has the talent, courage,
and determination to face the battle of
business, to go through all the drudgery,
rough work, and general initial unpleas-
antness just ms the grammar school grad
uate does, he would speedily outclass and
outpass the latter. But this the average
collegian will not do, and, therefore, he
is handicapped In the race He must
work from the bottom rung up II he
would finally utilize his educational ad-
vantages.

other outrages at Sag Harbor, on
Long Island In the course of few
days the unsparlng wretch burned 250
dwelling houses. five churches and 125
barns and stores. Many of the inhabi-
tants were cruelty murdered and a
number of women were subjected to
unspeakable indignities.
The outrages greatly infamed the
Americans and stirred them to greater
activities. The loss of Stony Point
was one keenly felt and 1t was re-
solved to recapture the place, now
greatly strengthened, at any hazard.
The undertaking was desperate one,
as the fort could only be taken by sur
prise, and In looking around for a
leader Washington fxed upon General
Anthony Wayne.
The latter readily consented to lead
the attacking force and determined to
make the attempt at midnight In or

Another thing said to be in the self

that he starts poor, that he is stimulated
In his struggles by the sharp spur of ne

that typical American product, Is usually
the offspring of peer parents, brought up
almost from the time he began to speak,
with the instructive notion that he would
have to do something for himself, and
