the most economical lead or paint

gives the paint beautiful gloss and
prevents the lead from destroying the

will eat and destroy the hnseed oil,
thus causing the paint to become
porous or open and dust off. Weir :
Bavarian White Lead is better and
cheaper than mixed paints because
one-half of every gallon Of mixed
paint is linseed oil for which you pay
81. 30 per gallon and get an old, stale,
unsound linseed oil. Buy fresh oil
from your dealers barrel at its true
value. 4 IL gallons lnseed oil and
100 pounds of Weir's Lead will make

less than mixed paint and will last

SOME GREAT DISCOVERIES.
The Chicago University Scores Some
Important Achievements.

Almost every day one of the pro-
fessors of the University of Chicago,
the financial machinery of which is
oiled by John ID. Rockefeller, breaks
into print with some new discovery.
They keep the world startled and Won
dering.
During the past few years, for in
stance, the following epoch-making dis
cover1es, among a host of others, have
been listed by Buffalo newspaper as
Chicago University discoveries:
That kissing causes lockjaw.
That dog never follows an unedu-
Gated man.
That Tie Pennsylvanians are turning
into Indians.
That Ireland was once a lake.
That primeval man had a gizZard.
That music is antiseptic.
That Adam caught fish with a club.
That love is disease of the Medulla
oblongata.
That cabbage contains more neur-
ishment than twelve eggs.
That Boccaccio was Swede.

The Canada Goose.

proach of a man, are not in fear of
cows; this fact has often led hunters
to train oxen to walk straight into
fiocks Of them, the hunter hiding be-
hind the animal until within gunshot
Of the flock.
And yet, Notwithstanding their wild
nature. Canadian geese are often
domesticated and crossed with the
common barnyard goose. Sometimes
wounded birds are allowed to run with
the domesticated birds, until some mi
gratory flock passes over the head with
its cry of "honk, honk." The call of
tie wild Is on again and the nursed
bird once more in state OF health,
rejoins his companions. A wounded
bird is often known to dive beneath
the waters surface, exposing only its
nos trils, until all danger has passed:
Surprised, flock rises suddenly and
apparently in great confusion, the
large birds get into one anothers
way, so that the marksman mas excel
lent opportunity TO bag brace. With
the typical "honk, honk' they rise
against the wind until they are once
more In orderly array, the wedges n.y.
ing on to other parts.

Cheers for the Red, White and Blue"
Veritable cheers they were. Tears
streamed down the veterans cheeks,
the boys in the room below took up
the shouts, and three times three
were given.
Hearing some cheering on the out
side, | moved cautiously near the
window-it was dangerous to go too
near-and saw all the guards in line
with their muskets pointed toward the
building, but, massed up and down
the streets, were hundreds upon hun
dreds of people, four-fifths of them
women, clapping their hands and wav-
ing their handkerchiefs, showing by
their approval most remarkable trib-
ute to the power of song, and that love
for Old Glory still held a warm place
in their hearts and memories.

THE POWER OF SONG.
an INCIDENT OF LIFE IN LIBBl
PRISON DURING THE CYL
WAR.
How the Prisoners Sang the "Star
SpangIed Banner" and TIL ere was
Cheering In the Streets OF Rich
mond.

Taken prisoner while in charge Of
the rear guard, on Stonemans first
raid, near Richmond, Va, relates an
old captain of the cavalry, and after
various adventures, l, with $500 OF the
prisoners taken at Charlottesville,
was sent to Libby prison. The large
excess Of prisoners on the Confederate
side procured us, most fortunately, an
exchange in q very short time, and
within month or 80 / participated in
another raid under Colonel Spear of
the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry over
the same ground where l had been
lately led q prisoner of war.
We had passed but one Sunday in
Libby-93 officers confined to an up
most story. About the middle of that
afternoon I CHANGED to look around
the room. A half dozen parties
were playing cards, many were Sleep
ing, several were lying on the floor
pretty sick, while one squad of doZ-
en- or more had organized a prayer
meeting. Not being a saint and per-
haps not much of sinner / was SIM
ply a LOCKER on in Venice" The
leader was a captain of a Massachu
sets regiment. The meeting was
evidently dragging, the great heat and
perhaps hunger and our position not
proving conducive to much thanks
giving.
The National Anthem.
Suddenly the captain started up, and
taking his place near the centre of the
room, exclaimed in voice loud
enough to attract immediate atten-
ton, Let us all sing The Star Span

realized that the open field offered
the more safety for the ammunition in
case of severe lightning. Still an un-
accountable sense of impending danger
possessed me; and, acting upon what
appeared to be a foolish impulse,
ordered the boys to move all of the
ammunition into the timber just below
the camp. This was done without
lights; and the tents and other equip
age were allowed to stand where they
were. Camp fires were lighted as
usual.
THE more thought of the pie-wo-
man, the more suspicious it made me;
and feeling i'll at ease, spoke to some
of the boys about her visit They joked
about it and suggested that her pie
had given me Indigestion.
Why my orderly said, there amt
Johnnie reb nowheres around here.
They're all down there with Mac"
keepin' him busy
That's all right said another, but
why were we halted here. if there's
no danger?'
Doubled the Pickets.
mo one volunteered an answer to
his question, and decided it would be
wise to double the pickets.
The men who were detailed for the
extra duty grumbled some, and as they
started for their posts one guessed
we were afraid the storm was going
to charge. us.' Another was sure the
'Cap'n' was afraid of his shadow after
dark, begorra!'
About ten o'clock word was brought
that the pickets on the west had Oh
served a small force of cavalry. but
thought they were Union men.
IAN hour later q force Of two or
three squadrons was reported passing
some distance to the south Of our pc.
sition and going in a westerly direc-
ton. Again, the pickets were not pos
tive but thought they were our cav
airy.
"The expected storm seemed to have
passed off to the north, though the
staggering half-moon showed the
southwestern quadrant still dark and
threatening.
1.-THE camp had settled down for the
night, but / was uneasy, and sat near
my tent trying to pursuade myself that
the reported cavalry was the supposed
escort which had missed the road tC
our camp and would probably pick us
up in the morning. However, | die
not feel treasured, and walked over tC
the post covering the road to the west
Scarcely had l reached the picket
when we heard the tread OF horse
walking slowly up the road.
Don't challenge I whispered

With the cry of "honk, honk," like
the warning of an automobile horn, the
hunter is warned of the approach of
the leader of q flying flock of Canadian
geese. On come the long-necked wild
fowl from their northern hunting
ground. They stream across the sky
much in the form of the flying wedge
formerly used in football tactics.
Gradually the wedge closes together,
maxim gone homogeneous mass Of
black and brown, with sprinklings Of
white. Usually the Canadian geese
stop flying about sunset, feeding on
eel-grass, sedges, roots of water plants,
and occasionally on small fish and
insects. Even at times they will eat
the corn, wheat or other grains
dropped by the farmer in the stubble.
Supper over, they return to the water,
sleeping with heads tucked under
wings, waking only to start out again
In search of breakfast. These two
fights are so habitual with these geese
that hunters can easily reckon when to
take position in the pit in wait of the
flying wedges.
Strangely enough, these birds, while
thrown into a state of panic at the APP
