Letter to M. L. Stearns,

Dear Sir: 1t is your business to know
what materials to put into a house as we'll
as to plan it. OF course, you know the ef-
feet OF zinc on lead in paint-tOughens it.
Do you also know the greater effect of zinc
ground in?
For a painter can't grind he can only
mix. DevOe lead and zine is thoroughly
ground in oil. The results an intimate mix
ture.
Your painter can only mix; he can't
grind; there's no need of grinding by hand
He should buy lead and zine ground together
in OIL
Devoe lead and zine is that; the propor-
tions are right besides. 1t 0utlasts lead and
Oil two to one, for hand-work cant compete
with machine-w work.
Yours truly,

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

In mans autobiography there is no
such word as fail.
Some men become sadder without
becoming any wiser.
The bore never leaves a hole in the
memory of his victim.
The awkward man may not be slow,
yet he always wants a day of grace.
Nothing succeeds like the financial
success some men make of a failure.
But for the occasional happening of
the unexpected it would soon cease to
exist
You can please any man by calling
him a gentleman, even if he knows you
don't mean it.
Some men who claim to be looking
for an opportunity to work don't care
how remote the opportunity is.
An Irish philosopher says that some
men never allow the grass to grow I'M
der their feet until it grows all over
them.-Chicago Daily News.

vocation and cultivate an amateur
interest in some form of exercise, game
or culture very remote from his line
of breadwinning activity. Perhaps no
tire is so acute as that which is very
partial and involves certain muscles,
movements and brain centers, leaving
others perhaps OverreSted. By exercis-
ing the latter and, as it were, equaliz-
ing the area of fatigue or making it
more symmetrically distributed many
of the best effects of rest are secured.
Many of even the diseases of exhaus-
ton are because energy of one part
or our psychO-physic organism is over
drawn while that Of other parts is
overrested. This may make even sleep
partial and haunted by the specters Of
the night. Every one who works with
his muscles should carefully reserve
some fraction of the day for reading
and intellectual work. We are prone
to forget that this is just as important
as for literary men to take exercise.
1t is really amazing what one can do

ically used in one direction Those

Tit For Tat.

A Missouri farmer whose hog had
been killed by train and who mag
ined himself to be something of a poet
wrote these lines to the company's
claim agent for settlement:
My razorback strolled down your track
week ago today:
Your 20 came down the line
And snuffed his light away.
You can't blame me; the hos, you see,
Slipped through cattle gate;
So kindly pen a check for ten,
The debt to liquidate
lie was rather surprised a few days
later to receive the following:
Old 90 came down tie line
And killed your hog, we know.
But razorbacks on railroad tracks
Quite often meet with woe
Therefore, my friend, we cannot send
The check for which you pine.
