TIL Point OF tl.n Troyero.

An old proverb advises the shoe-
maker to stick to his last. 1t means
that q man always succeeds best Ut
the business he knows. 10 the farmer
it means, stick to your piow: to the
blacksmith. stick to your forge: to the
psinter. stick TO your brush. When we
make experiments out Of our line theE
are likely to prove expensive fa!inrHs.
1t is amusing. however. to remark
how every one of us secretly thinks ne.
couli do some other fellows work bet
ter than the other fellow himself. The
PAINTER imagines he can make paint
better than the paint manufacturer:
the farmer thinks he can do JOB OF
painting better. or at least cheaper
than the painter. and so on.
\ farm hand in one OF octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking Del
ecate Of the Painters Cnion. Any
body can slather raint;' and the old
lire paiuter tells the paint salesman,

Tie farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: "Shoemaier. suck
to your last" The fancy farmer
can farm, of course, but il is an eI-
peusiye amusement. Il it strikes him
as p.eaSant to grow strawberries at
Gfty cents apiece. o. to produce eggs
that cost hirl five dollars q dozen. IT
is q form of amusement. to lie sure. II
he can afford it, but it's not farming.
If farmer likes to slosh around with
4 paint brusi. and can afford the time
and expense OF having Il practical
painter do the job right pretty soon
afterward, It's harmless form or
amusement. If the painters customers
can afford to stand for paint that
comes off in half the time it should,
thev have perfect right to indulge
his harmless vanity about his skill in
paint making. But in none of these
cases does the shoemaker stick to his
last.
There is Just one class Of men in
the world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing it right: and that is the paint
manufacturers-the makers OF the
standard brands Of ready-prepared
paints The painter mixes paints; the
paint manufacturer SrlnuS tHeu w.
gether. In good ready-preparcd paint
every particle of one kind Of pigment
is forced to join hands with q particle
of another kind and every bit of solid
matter is forced. as it were. to open its
mouth and drink in its share Of linseed
oil. That is the only way good paint
can be made. and if tho painter knew
how to do it he has nothing at hand to
do it with. A paint pot and a paddle
are poor substitute for power-mizers,
buhr-miIls and ro!ier-mills.
The man Who OWNS 4 building and
neslects to paint it as often as it needs
paint is only degree more short
sighted than the one who tries to do
his own painting or allows the painter
to mix his paint for him. Z. &.

The Teachers ReIisfon.

It was said of a good Christian min
;ster that wherever he went he made
people fall in love with the Lord Jesus
Christ. Evidently he had the right
sort of religion. 1t would be we'll if all
Sunday-school teachers had the same
kind. There are some people. Chris
tians too, godly and conscientious. who
live honestly and uprightly, and who
are active in good works. but who do
net make people fall in love with
Christ. 1t was said Of very earnest
church worker the other day, Il sup
pose he is Christian. but somehow he
never makes me think Of Christ" Yet
are there not 100 many such church
members? The teacher ought to lave

perform the duties exacted Of her
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms OF
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part OF the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is burden.
All these symptoms point to a de-
raneement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound.
Miss Abby F. Barrows, Nelsonville.
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham -

lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before
took them I was very nervous, had dull
headaches, pains In back, ana Per1ods were
irregular, had been to several doctors, and
they did me no good.
"Your medicine has made me well and
strong. I can do most any kind Of work
without complaint, and my periods are all
right ,..o.
and know it is all due to your remedies. ]

who suffer-"
It is to such girls that Mrs. Pink
ham holds out helping hand and ex-
tends cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law OF
Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five
years has been advising sick women
free of charge. Her long record OF
success in treating wonan's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to
every ailing working girl. Address,

There has always been considerable

FAVOR MALE CHAPERONS.

A journal devoted to social dOingS de-
clares in favor of male chaperons, there
being, in it's opinion, insuperable objec-
tions to the female duenna. The cha
peron must manifestly be either young
or old, there being no middle age in the
present day. Now, if she is young
that is. under 80 or 60-there is danger
that she may monopolize all the atten-
lions and ali the dances. for she is much
better versed in the arts of fascination
than is her charge. The young chape-
ron, therefore, is indisputably a mis-
take. But the old one is not better. To
be old she must be septuagenarian or
an octogenarian. She is probably in
clined to- be ~soporiic' and -queFulous.

PARIS CHAT.
BY MADAME HYpoRNE.

Paris, Sept. S.-The reign Of white
continues here, both for ladies who
from any cause are compelled to remain
in the capital and for their more for
tunate sisters who are at Trouville,
Deauville. i'm Switzerland. or elsewhere
far from the blazing. sticky asphalt.
Women of all ages wear white, but
when youth is only a memory it is bet
ter taste to infuse a little black with
the white dress, a black belt. hat and
boa, for instance. In buying late sum-
mer dresses, Parisiennes are careful TO
make their purchases appropriate for
the country or the seaside. For the
real country palmer dresses are re-
Uuired suitable for the drive or walk
to the village, or luncheon party at
some neighboring chateau. These So
called plain little gowns, however, can
be quite as pretty and becoming as
their city cousins" provided they be
tastefully carried out. Nothing can
be nicer or heater for a day in the
country than a linen or cotton frOck
the skirt round, just clearing the
ground, gathered at the waist or pleat-
ed- according to the wearer's prefer
ences. For a linen or cotton dress IL Is
generally considered preferable that
gathers should be adopted. on account
of the facilities of ironing. Country
laundresses are less expert than their
city colleagues OF the wash tub. and
pleats constitute a difficulty for them.
The little coats which Parisiennes so
much approve are now to be made
longer and tighter, fitting the figure
more closely than those lately worn.
Sleeves continue TO be made short, and

eternally, so convenient, becoming and

moment every variety of blouse, from
the simple shirt waist TO the most
elaborate creations in lace and embroi-
derry. A rather pretty novelty Is the
very wide lace or linen collars worn
with lawn or cotton dresses. So LARGE
are they that they might almost be
termed pelerines. The coIors most in
vogue this year for lingerie" dresses
are pink, lavender, pastel. and a new
shade called "Transvaal dust"
