Letter to Eli May,
Butler. Pa.

Dear Siri A gallon saved is 81 or SIS
earned, Devoe saves or gallons in
1O. How much is it worth a gallon?
A gallon saved saves the painting
tooi and both together cost 81 or $5-S4
where labor is cheap: S. where labor is
dear
Tar agents in Bridgeport, Conn, Hub
bard & Wade Co, tell us: "There are
great many workingmen's houses here.
They used to paint lead-and oil and take
ten gallons. We have been selling
them ten gallons Devoe lead-and-zinc,
and have had in every instance, two
gallons returned" The proportion is
often higher than that; we have known
it five in ten; but that is exceptional
This is the explanation: Devoe is
ground by machinery, and is ground
fine: lead and-oil is mixed by hand, and
isn't ground at all.
Yours truly

A DARING EXPLOIT.
An Indian Story of an Incident Of the
Civil War Which Occurred
at Fort Gibson.

Old Fort Gibson, just across the Arkan-
sas river from Muskogee, was frontier
post during the war, and around it clus-
ter many quaint romances of Indian
legend, romance and war. While the
fort was known as the charnel house of
the frontier, because Of the epidemics of
cholera, smallpox and other deadly dis
eases, it was also the scene of many deeds
of daring. OF one of the latter Rhoda
Rees, atullblood Cherokee, was the hero.
Rees came of family of fighters. His
father was soldier under Gen. Jack son,
and fought with him at the battle of
Horseshoe Bend. where the power of the
Greeks was broken, and an uncle of the
famous Stan Waite, the leader of the
southern Cherokees in the war of the re-
bellion. which harassed the union forces
more than any other band. He tells the
following story of daring exploit when

TO GET RID OF FRECKlES.
Simple Washes and Lotions Readily
Prepared at Home Often Prove
Very Effective.

It is all very well to advise the girl
whose face freckles not to expose her
skin to the sun, to wear veil and
take other similar precautions, but if
she is a fun-loving creature she will
doubtless much prefer the freckles to
denying herself the pleasure of out-of-
door sports, and who can blame her?
So when she begins to suffer the pen
atty of her shortcomings in this re-
spect then is the time to lend a help
ing hand and suggest some remedies
for preventing or graduating the
freckles when they come.
Cold cream and a light coating of
powder before going out of doors will
often so protect sensitive skin that it
will permanently keep the freckles at
bay.
Not always, however, as the cause
Of these annoying little brown spots is
due to an excess of iron in the blood.
Red haired persons are much more liza
bic TO freckles than dark-haired ones.
This is due 10 the same reason Oc-
casionally with no treatment a. az
freckles viii disappear of their own
accord as quickly as they came. But in
nine cases out OF ten they will only
yield to persistent treatment.
One OF the best freckle lotions comes
all the way from Germany, and. al
though a druggist must be resorted to
for Its preparation, ii will surely attain
the desired result If applied night and
morning with soft cloth.
or potassium carbonate use six per
cent; of potassium chlorate two per
cent: borax. one and one-half per cent;
rose water. S3 per cent; glycerin, Is per
cent; orange flower water, 80 per cent.
and sugar, six per cent.
Nearly every complexion specialist
as well as druggist. carries some rem
edy said to be efiicaceous in removing
freclllcs, and while they all doubtless
possess virtues of their own still there
are many home recipes which can be
compounded for the purpose. Simple
buttermilk is used by some as a wash
and certainly softens the skin, if il
does no more.
Freckles, as we'll as the predisposi
ton to them, will sometimes yield &c
massage, particularly if the followins
lotion is used in connection. Take
of Tactic acid two ounces, glycerin one
ounce and rose water one-half al
ounce.
Pour a small quantity of the liquid in
porcelain receptacle, from which APP
ply it to the face with a piece of soft
linen cloth night and morning. Too
frequent applications may redden tn,
lit
lotion should be applied less fire
Quently.
Special care must be taken to keeI
the composition air-tisht and every
thing used with it must be quite clean

GREATEST DRESS PARADE.
"Reminiscences of an Ex-Confederate
Who Was in the Fight at
Missionary Ridge.

The greatest dress parade under fire
that ever saw" said the old ex-confed-
crate, was when the Army of the Cum
berland formed TO move forward against
Missionary Ridge. Some of us who were
watching that day saw the finest military
display of our lives. Perched on the
heights of Missionary Ridge, we looked
down into great amphitheater into
which marched as If for parade and re-
view nearly hundred regiments. We
could not measure the strength of the
divisions, but we counted the flags and
We knew that in the mass there were at
least So regimental organizations. My
count was SO, but the boys insisted that
! saw double.
I'VE had no uneasiness at first and we
laughed at the idea of an army which we
believed was at our mercy holding a
grand review We were interested all
he same. and when the line SO perfect
ly formed swept forward on our out
posts, carrying everything before il. we
were startled out of our boots. verify
believe that the orderly parade of the
Army of the Cumberland, within the

ibie testimony of 50 regimentaI flags car
rieo toward us at double-quick. did
more to demoraliZe Bragg's army than
any other incident of the campaign.
When that same line swept up Mission
airy Ridge, Bragg's veterans scampered
away, having in their minds visions of
the precision and discipline which we
bad witnessed day or two before
