Letter to J. n. Atchinson.
MOrTiSyilIe, Vt.

Dear Sir: Everybody considers
painting a necessary nuisance, and
you are probably no exception.
You can'tabolish it altogether; but
you can make 1t come half as often,
and cost only two thirds as much
each time, and have your house look
better all the time.
Everybody knows that the sea-
shore is hard on paint. The Earring
ton residence at Rockland, Maine, a
sea-coast town, was painted with De-
voc seventeen years ago. The house
has never been reprinted, and seems
to be well painted yet.
If you want to take the trouble to
be convinced, we can send you a hun
drsd other instances; but none so
striking as this.
This Is not all. DeYoe Lead and
zac not only wears longer, but IT
RAints more square feet to the gallon
than any other paint-especially mix
ID paints. 1t is the "Fewer gallons;
wears longer" paint.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEYoE & Co.,
New York.

LOSSES IN NEW ENGLAND
Col. Albert Clarke's Figures On The
Damage Cansed BY Drouth.

Col. Albert Clarke, of Boston,
whose service as secretary of the
Home Market club has given him
some standing as statistician, writes
to the Boston Herald to say it is
doubtful if the people fully realize the
extent of the calamity that has come
upon New England by the partial
destruction of crops caused by the
prolonged drought. To helpform and
estimate, he has culled from the CEN
sus OF 1899 the values of the leading
crops that year. The figures show
a total of $t3, 662, 239 for hay and
forage crops, $77,227,O7 for cereals
and $84,7l7.O7S for vegetables, a
grand total of $136, $4,000.
at will be seen, he says "that if
the failure this year should be total,
the loss would be at least $135, 0OO,-
600, which would be two or three
times the loss from the Iowa, Kansas
and Missouri floods. Few, however,
anticipate total failure, but unless
we have copious rains and warm
weather throughout most of June,
favorable conditions the rest of the
season and late frosts in the fall, it is
bound to estimate loss of one half,
or say, about $7O,0OO,OOO.
"This estimate is confined to the
principal crops. 1t does not include
the 1856 tons of cornstalks, which
was the product of 1899, and which
is a crop of rapidly increasing i'm
portance in New England; neither
does it include the loss of seeds, nor
the much more important items of
sacrifice on livestock and the loss of
employment.
1.-THE loss in dairy products and
livestock will be more difficult to
estimate than any other, but if the
loss on crops is rs per cent. these
other losses will hardly fall below
$25, 100000.
I" In the first instance these losses
will fall upon the farm people, num-
bering nearly 100000, but all the
other people in New England will
share them. Prices of food will un-
avoidably be higher, and when the
purchasing power of so many people
is greatly impaired the sales of mer-
chandise will be noticeably smaller.
This will diminish the earnings of |
the railroads and factories, and were
it not for the great extent of our ma
tional agriculture and markets, the
distress would assume the proper
tons of a famine and an industrial
crisis.

"Magasinitis" is new word coined
by a French physician to describe the

RURAL TROLLEY LINES.
they Are OF Great Benefit to Farmer,
and Villagers and Should BE
EnCOuraKed

Some of the latest trolley road en-
terprises are likely to be of special
benefit to small towns. Most of the
earlier electric roads were built par
allel to steam lines, connecting only
the cities and large towns already
provided with railroad facilities, and
directly useful to such farmers only
who happened to Hne on or near the
line of the road. But most of the
main towns being already connected
there is now a tendency to reach out
and secure the business of the farm
ing towns which have never had q
railroad of any kind. Already in
western Massachusetts,. in Connecti-
cut and in parts of Maine new roads
are branching out in all directions,
bringing new life to lonely communi-
ties and serving as feeders to tho
steam roads and the main street
lines. Many new projects are not
street lines at all, but go straight over
the fields and meadows. making cuts
and filings, when needed, at consid-
erable cost. Such lines are capable
of high speed and regular service.
Many town will enjoy good passen-
ger facilities and often a freight,
mail and express service by the con-
struction of an electric road where
a steam road could never hope to do
a paying business.-America Culti-
vator.

@ . Not Obtained from Bees Aloao,
- Most OF Us Have Alvvays n.
Been Taught.

Bees are by no means the only pro-
ducers of animal wax, altnough prob
ably 90 persons out Of 1OV would say
SO If asked.
The very biggest animal in the world
is one of the most important wax pro-
ducers, and a fine wax it is. 1t is sperm
aceti, and it is obtained from the head
of the sperm whale.
When a sperm whale has been killed
and is brought alongside. the first
thing that the whalemen do after the
chains are passed around the hukes to
hold the big creature alongside Of the
whaling ship, 10 to cut the head from
the body. b
This head alone often weighs several
tons, and it is no light job to raise 1t
from the water. Immense tackles are
used. and as the whalers. who stand
ON the whale and on stagings rigged
over ut, cut through the vertebrae with
their keen cutting-out spades other
men ON the deck Of the ship heave and
haul on the tackle until the mighty
head is clear of the body. '"
Often head like that will be so big
that while part of it is still in ! the
water the tip Of the mouth will be
high in the air, as high as the spars Of
the whaleship.
Then the whalers begin to cut into
the head until they open what is known
by them as the cease" This contains
the spermaceti. It is beautiful, clear,
whitish fluid, and it is dipped out with
buckets and put into special casks. 1t
Is stored away in the hold in a separate
place from the whale oil, and it brings
good price at all times, for the de-
mand for spermaceti is unceasing.
The Chinese obtain great deal Of
extremely fine wax from a small in
sect called pela. 1t lives on trees, and
the Chinese cultivate the pela just as
other races breed the honey bee. The
pe1a, however, produces nothing ex-
cept wax.
This insect produces small masses
OF pure white wax. and it is used by
the Chinese and Japanese for making
candles to be burned in Buddhist tenn
pies. The wax is used also for me-
dicinal purposes.
Another wax insect lives in certain
districts of India. 1t is not propagated
as the Chinese pela is, but it produces
a very valuable wax. which will be
made an article of considera BILE COM
mercia1 Importance some day.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat
