than to do the repainting itself, if the orig inal paint was not Pure White Lead and Pure Linseed Oil This is the only paint which is elastic enough and tough enough, in spite ofclimaticchanges to wear smoothly and evenly right down to the surface lcay. ing it free and uniform, all ready for the painter to begin his work when repainting is finally necessary.
 A paint adulterated with barytes, yellow oehre, zinc and other substitutes for Pure White Lead, is inevitably stiff and brittle; and changes in temperature make it blister, crack and peel. Long before such paint has worn away, repainting becomes a ne- cessity, on account of the many places left exposed. Yet, before repainting can be done, the blotchy, uneven surface must be seraped or burned till the smooth surface of the wood itself is reached. This requires much of the painters valuable time, and is attended with no little risk from fire.
 Avoid this expensive process and the danger which it always involves, by insist ihg on Pure White Lead in the first place Don { leave any loophole; specify the brand;

purpose he had i'm mind the demands were likely TO
be greater than the income.

THE PROBLEM OF A UNIVERSITY EDUCATION.
One may easily grant the great value both to the
individual and to the community of encouraging the
most able and ambitious of the young men to take
university course. And may even admit the
desirability of afording such advantage free of
charge, through private endowments, scholarships
eIowships and appropriations to State universities.
And yet the problem in any individual case of with
drawing from directly productive work for a period
o three or four years, and those perhaps the best
years of life, is most serious one. Here is boy
who began his school life the age of three or four
IN the kindergarten, and has remained continuously
IN school and college for eighteen or twenty years

preparation by three four precious years more?
