of a bell as q testimonial for the cruis-

ARD of the 9th ult., it seems has been
adopted, with the modification that
it be donated by the school children Of
the State. Mrs. ]. B. Allen, widow Of
the late Senator Allen, has taken the
matter in hand, and through our Con-
gressmen has received assurance that
the token will be acceptable to the
Naval Department. Acting upon this
support the matter will be presented to
the leading educators for providing the
details in all the public schools OF the

the purpose of saving human life by
ample warnings. This will be done
simply by careful study of Fremont
tary indications. He has not yet sys-
tematized his deductions sufficiently to
explain the theory, but he thinks in

surance and serve as a means of pre-
serving many lives that are lost under

THE "HHODE ISLAND L. UNIrCkY.
The bsttleship Rhode Island seems
to be of the" unlucky" type. \ strike
in the Fore Rivers uavy-yard post
poned her launching whole month,
and when she was launched she stuck
on a mud bank tin the next tide,
when it took six tugs to get her afloat.
There was a quarrel between Gov.
Garvip, of her State namesake, and
the President, over the launching GER
emory as planned. A mishap to her
machinery interrupted her speed test
and the vessel had to put back for re-
pairs. On the second, or endurance
test, she failed to come up to the
standard required. Then on her first
trip after being placed in commission,
she grounded while entering York
River from Chesapeake Bay, and had
to be towed off by four tugs. The
jackies say that hoodoo was placed
on the ship from the fact that she was
christened by married woman, Mrs.
Dumaine, wife OF one of the directors
of the company. Every seafsring man
insists that to ensure luck" for any
craft, the champagne bottle must be
broken over her bows by an unmarried
woman. A more rational view of the
matter is, that her late grounding in
clear daylight, was more properly at
tributable to champagne on the bridge
than champagne over the bow.

COVERING

The covering of a paint is an important
item In connection with its cost to the
consumer. One gallon of Longwear
Lead (tlnted or whitley will cover 500
square feet Of planed wood one coat.
One gallon of best standard mixed
paint will cover only 600 square feet
Of plared wood one coat. As labor
costs the same per day for applying either
one gallon of Longwear Lead or one
gallon of best standard ready mixed paint,
the labor cost of painting with either pro-
duct is the same. Labor costs double
the price Of paint. This being the case
the covering and wearing qualities of
paint applied is . very important factor
in arriving at the paint cost. On the same
size job Longwear Lead will cost say
$500, labor $4,000, making a total cost
of $500. This paint will wear at least

garden Seeds as Vote-Getters

The popular branch of Congress has
decided. 10y vote OF lJ3 to IS, to con-
tinue distribution of garden-sseds as
vote-getters. 1t must have been con-
tidered measure OF considerable i'm
portance when the debate occupied
two FULL legislative days, and it was the
most general Of any this session Of
Congress. The appropriation is 800.
600 and increases the percentage Of
seeds to each member at more than a
two-thirds ratio. Now if the purchase
is made of some reliable dealer, who
will not use it as an opportunity for
unloading old stock, it might be more
satisfactory. Many people have de-
luded themselves with the idea that
the little packets received with their
Congressman's frank in the corner
were raised specially for them, in the
Government Garden at Washington,
which would be about as practical as
that the hundreds OF thousands OF
walking-sticks sold by the suave dar-
key for a quarter each, at Mt. Vernon,
were cut from saplings OH the Wash
ington plantation.
En- PEASANT, good story used 10 be
told Of 10. Lane, who for several years
filled the position of Delegate to Con-
gress from Oregon, until an untoward
incident that occurred while on one of
his campaigning tours. His plan was to
get at the heart OF the voter by means
of the wife, if he had one, so he kissed
ell the babies and praised the cookery.
At one place he was specially pleased
with the beans that were served, and
after many inquiries as to variety,
growth and manner of cooking, asked
rs q special favor that a small sack
be given him as a present to Mrs.
Pierce, the Presidents wife, who would
appreciate a gift of such excellence
from far.awsy Oregon. The delighted
women prepared the parcel and Mr..
Lane, on his departure, placed it in his
overcoat pocket. On the evening OF
the same day, he stopped with another
constituent. and while at supper in.
formed the hostess that he had brought
. present for her all the way from
Washington, and that it was from the
wife of the President, Franklin Pierce,
and going to bis coat produced the
identical sack of beans and presented it
to the lady with bow that would have
done credit to Turveydop. "There,'
said he, II have carried that clear
from Washington, for the pleasure OF
presenting it to you"
1t is hardly beyond the range of
possibility that there we're two votes
for Mr.. Lanes reelection beyond per-
adventure, had not the two women
visited each other q few days after
wards. Both women were, of course,
very quick to relate the special mark
OF friendship of their Delegate, but
but when the identical sack of beans
was produced and identified, there WAS
indeed CONSERVATION. It completely
unveiled the methods OF the willy poll
tician, and it is safe to say that many
more than the two votes we're forever
lost 10 the man who, whatever may
have been his virtues. was at least
gay deceiver when il came to the fair
sex.
