LETTER toe. w. WESCOTT,
BELFAST, MAINE

Dear Sir Mr. II. II. Stephenson, Cashier
of Oil City (Pa) Savings Bank writes: ::
"Nine years ago painted my house with
your paint. 1t wore so we'll, want to use
it again."
That's nothing wonderful except for the
fact that the soft coal region of Pennsyl-
vania is pretty hard on paint with its oil,
smoke and CRIME. All we see in it is that
Devoe is good for nine years sometimes.
There are thousands of people that know
it, and millions that don't
There's the rub! We advertise for the
millions; we want to make paint for the
millions.
Mr. Cashier, do you know that Devoe
lead-and-zi is twice as cheap as lead-and-
oil, or mixed paints? Is 100 per cent fair
profit in your business?
Three quarters of the people paint lead
and-oil mixed by hand; while the U. S;
Government use lead, zinc and Oil ground
together by machinery-same as Devoe
lead-and-zinc. The majority never is right
about anything. Yours truly
F. W. DEVOE u Co.

THE PICTORIAL FINS.
Without Them the Fish Woul,

Without Them the Fish Would
stand ON Its Head.
The pectoral fins of a fish are tlss two
fms, one on each side, just back OF the
head. These fins aid the fish to some
extent in swimming. They are small
oars which the fish feathers very beau
tifully and are Of value chiefly to pre-
serve It's equilibrium. 1t is with these
fms that the fish maintains its horizon
tai position in the water when not
swimming. Without them the fish
would stand Oh its head. Sometimes q
fish loses one or both OF its pectoral
fms by disease or by accident. A fish
without pectoral fms is in a bad way.
While most fishes keep horizontal
position in the water when not swim
ming, there are fishes that do not. One
of these fishes is the filefsh, which
when motionless suspends itself in the
water, head downward, at an angle Of
forty-fye degrees or even nearer the
perpendicular A fetish kept in an
aquarium which had lost both it's pee,
toral fins inclined over backward past
the perpendicular when motionless to
about the same angle that it would
have kept in the other direction If its
pectoral fms had been intact, so that
when not in motion 1t seemed to be ~
ing at an angle on its back.
In the same aquarium there was "a
striped bass weighing about pound
and a half, one of whose pectoral fins
was attacked at the tip by fungus,
which gradually encroached upon it.
Finally the diseased portions Of the fin
were cut off with pair of sharp shears.

part Of the fin. At first the fish was
like man in boat pulling one long
oar and one short one-it couldn't hold
course. But it soon accustomed it.
self to it's new condition, and there
after it got along very comfortably.

SWISS EDUCATION.
A Serious Matter, Guarded jealousy
by the State. II

A Serious Matter, Guarded jealousy
by the State.
One reason why the Swiss fare well
IL that their public school system is
probably the best In the world, and
with them public school education is
practically compulsory. You can send
your child to private school Qn some
cantons) IL you insist upon so doing,
but the face Of the government and the
force Of public opinion are sternly
against the practice. In the canton Of
Solothurn private schools are absolute
ly forbidden. In other cantons a pri-
yate school pupil must secure formal
permit from the local authorities, and
in some cantons he must pay charge
to the public funds. The idea is that
the public schools are good enough for
all; that rich and poor are to meet
there on even terms; that the public
school is the nursery Of democracy and
patriotism; above all, that democracy
is the lifeblood and strength and very
soul Of the republic. and the republic Is
Switzerland, and without the republic
Switzerland is nothing. Private schools
for Swiss children are few in number,
and such assexist are under the strict
supervision Of the state. Education is
serious matter IN Switzerland There
is no escape from it. a parent must
send his children to school or go him
self to Jail. They kept a Seventh Day
Adventist in Jail for two years because
he refused to let his child attend school
on Saturdays. As 1t then seemed likely
he would spend the rest of his life in a
cell he surrendered. -Eyerybody's Mag
