AN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS.

The autumn season is coming more
and more to be recognized as most
suitable time for housepainting. There
is no frost deep in the wood TO make
trouble for even the best job of paint
ing, and the general seasoning of the
summer has put the wood into good
condition in every way. The weather,
moreover, is more likely, to be settled
for the necessary length OF time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry,
very important precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money If they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially between coats.
Instead Of allowing barely time for the
surface TO get dry enough not to be
'tacky,' several days weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
so that the coat might set through
and through. 1t is inconvenient, OF
course but, If one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, it would add two
or three years to the life of the paint"

the paint used is the very best TO

TIGERS Tap Rubber Trees.

Near Perak in the Malay peninsula
Is a prosperous rubber factory run by
a long-headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made it is necessary to puncture
the bark of the trees. Laborers are
scarce in that district, but there are
an abundance of tigers. There were
not enough men to tap" the trees, but
the Scotch proprietor hit on a bril-
liant idea. He knew that tigers are
fond of valerian, so he gave orders
that all the trees should be rubbed
with this stuff The tigers came up
and caressingly scratched the bark in
