LETTER TO FOSTER & ESTABROOKS
BELFAST, MAINE.

Dear .Sirs: We suspect you'd like the
tale, how woman beat two hardware deal
ers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men to sell
Dev0e lead-and-zinc in that bright town ;and
failed. Reluctantly took Mrs. E. R. Bow
man, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than $1.25 gallon. Mrs. Bowman
can. She has sold about all the paint that
has been sold there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our artists
materials. Had some sense and force. be-
sides; she easily learned that cheap is dear
in paint, and told the people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought gallon Devoe
for rooms that had always taken gallon
had half left.
Mr.. E. Il. Hiler, jeweler, painted Devoe,
and says it goes further-no particulars.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, thought it ex-
pensive before he bought it; brought back
nearly half of his paint, and said it was the
cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal satisfac-
ton. So much for a cheap paint town with
bright woman in it.
Yours truly
w. DEvoE & Co.
P.S. Sold by Mason and Hall.

Human Dead=WOod.

Any man in the employ of rail-
road, corporation, or company of any
sort, who listlessly does a prescribed
amount of work, draws his salary,
idles when the boss isn't about, and
shows no inclination to originality, or
to look out for the interest of his en-
ployers, is dead wood as far as
success is concerned. The company
must have men who know how to do
things, and how TO manage things.
The only way to secure such men is
to take them oul or the shops and off,
ces where they have been-or should
be--train1ng for it. We are constant
ly worrying. about the right man to
put in higher pace. 1t is not ques-
tion of sequence in time of service,
hut OF ability. believe there is no
worthier aim for young men to have
than to do some useful Industrial
work we'll and become master of It,

The Engaged Couple.

All engaged persons should prove
the sincerity of their love by reducing
rs De Quincy did the opium, their
daily dose of whiskey, of cigars, oil
gambling, of bad temper, of frivolity,
of flirting, of extravaganza, of love of
dress, or anything else that tends to
diminish domestic happiness. I know
young men who have given up almost
all small luxuries in order to be able
sooner to afford the greatest luxury in
life-a good wife. A suggestion was
recently made that there was room for
new society which should teach hus-
band and wife their duty to each 9TH
er. The first article of the constitu-
ton should be that any person apply
ing for membership should solemnly
covenant and agree that throughout
married life he or she would careful
ly observe and practise all courtesy,
thoughtfulness and unselfishness that
belonged to what is known as the en-
gagement period.
Morals Versus Law.
The relation of law to morals is a
searching and suggestive study as
the other. The attempt to make men
moral by the enactment OF law is as
futile as the imagination of morality
without reference to law as 1t is de-
veloped, illustrated and applied in the
Easpel of Jesus Christ For instance,
he great difficulty of legislation about
the supreme question or temperance
lies here. Neither will prohibition pre-
vent drunkenness, nor will the mere
signing of pledge make man
temperate. Just as restraint, helped
undoubtedly by promise, is essen
tial to the individual, so restriction
seems the only legal remedy for ex-
cess.

demonstrate that It is more blessed to

on the other hand It Is apt to bring into
Its membership many men and women

AN ANCIENT SKY-scRAPER.

One OF tho buildings burned by the great
fire OF evacuation day. April 3D.. 1860,
was taller than any we have now, or are
likely to have soon. 1t was tho new
Gallego Mills, and was located on n cor
ner lot, between the present mtlls and
tho canal locks, where the Richmond and
Allegheny Railroad trestle lately stood.
It's foundation walls still are to be seen
ut tho southwest corner of Twelfth and
Canal Streets. Looking Mt itH southern
front when tho building was standing
1t was ten or twelve stories high. Looked
Mt from Canal Street. 1t was about two
or three stories lower.
This fine structure was completed only
a few years before the outbreak OF the
Confederate war. and but little ma
chinery ever was placed in It. Upon one
of It's immensely spacious floors was
spread the banquet given by our people
to the New York Seventh Regiment
when 1t came TO Richmond as an escort.
to the remains of president Monroe.
The new" Gallego and the old Gallego
both fell prey to the evacuation day
fire; but the latter has been rebuilt. And
1T Is n much larger and better building
than its predecessor was. and Is Itself "a
veritable "skyAscraper.'' and what Is
more, 1t covers nearly square Of

thousands of workmen to that borough,
and the sudden cessation OF work VIII
he a severe blow to them Eighty per
cent. OF them are innocent sufferers or
the tlirty-nine unions affiliated with the
United Board OF Building Trades only
about ten have made new demands. winch
employers deem to be excessive because
of the recent advance In wages and other
concessions granted.
That sort OF warfare is unworthy OF n
civilized people. we do not pretend to say
which side is Mt fault. We only know that
there Is plenty Of work In New YORK
and that there arc plenty OF workmen,
but there Is paralysis In the building
trades because employers and employees
arc at loRgerheads. There Is fault some
where, and the worst part OF 1t Is that
the public, who are not Mt fault and
who are In no way responsible for the
trouble, are tho sufferers. Tho interests
OF the public arc rarely consulted IN such
disputes. and the public are growing
weary OF sucf treatment.
We are opposed to compulsory arbitra-
tion or anything approaching 1t. but It
seems to us that corporations and labor
unions ought to have tho wisdom to see
that II strikes and lockouts which seri-
ously affect the public interest continue
to. grow and multiply, the public Will be
tempted by and by to take hand In
the disputes.
