Letter to Peter M. Hall
MorrSsto,on, N. J.

Dear Sir: Here's tale with three
or four tails to it.
Professor Irvine has an Academy,
Mercerburg, Penn. He paints the
floors in summer vacation. 1t used to
take 80 gallons of paint. There were
two paint-stores there, and he used to
buy Zone year of one, next year Of the
;other) 80 gallons year after year.
Now he paints Devoe q Reynolds ;
60 gallons and the difference Is a saw
ing of $3.50 a year.
II. g E'allon was one of those dealers,
good man; but he wouldn't take-up
Devoe 81 Reynolds; SO we turned to
the other, j. A Boyd. But Fallon has
found it necessary to get good paint
to compete with Deyoe. He got one
of the eight honest paints. He has a
big hardware store and is doing an ex-
cellent hardware business but Boyd,
of course, has the run on paint he's a
little hardware man.
We don'tcare how little or big man
is, if he wants good paint and is active
and sound

To The Editor Of The CHRONICLE !:

L.
We Morristown folk are so nearly
faultless ia most respects that we
ought to be freed from any inc0nsid-
crate habits.
One such habit exists perhaps be-
cause our busy statesmen practically
seeing or hearing only ladies doing the
marketing naturally direct that the
supplies ordered be delivered at, for
example, Mrs, or Miss, Montmor-
ency's. To strictly accord with the
recognized conventionality, however,
it should have been Mr.. and Mrs. or
Miss Montmorency's;" or, II in brief,
g Mr.. M0ntmorency's,p which by the
above conyentionality is understood
to include both members Of partner
ship In their true relative positions,
whereas mention OF the lady's name
alone is conventionally correct only
when the mans relative position is
markedly inferior. That is, The con-
yentional method implies hat the
two are partners, as respectively head
and mistress of the household the
other way implies that the man is liy-
ing in the woman's house, as a son or
other dependent.
Too many Of the ladies here have
carried this uncOnven5iOnality OF the
market into social intercourse and
make it a rule to speak OF " Mrs, or
Miss, M0ntmorency's house, for in
stance when, as matter Of fact, 1t
is Mr.. MontmOrency who is the
head of the establishment This in
c0nsideratenesS is not alone towards
the men it Is also towards the women
themselves. For they wrong their
better selves whenever they inconsid-
erately accept or bestow an implied
superiority of position over the men
to which they are not entitled

Fertilizing an Orchard.

Nothing is better for fertilizing an
orchard than raw bone meal and pot
ash, says an expert Orchardist. The
bone will have nitrogen enough for the
orchard in sod, and the phosphoric acid
will become soluble by degrees as the
trees need It, The principal need of
your sandy soil in apples is potash, for
not only Is such a soil usually deficient
in potash, but apples take large
amount from the soil. We would ap-
ply 400 pounds per acre, mixed $50
pounds of the bone meal and fifty
pounds Of muriate Of potash. Then
NOW the orchard and use the cut grass
as a mulch for the trees. In short,
keep the orchard for apples alone, and
devote all that grows on the land to
the trees.

Promising Late Strawberry.

The Fremont Williams strawberry Is
one of the new late sorts from which
much is expected. When 1t is intro
duced the name will doubtless be short
ened, in accordance with the general
plan of using but one name for a va
riety when possible. The variety has
been under test throughout the country
for two years, and has shown every In
dication Of being all that was claimed
for 1t by the originator. Its one bad
feature, and this will be mainly In the
opinion of the consumer, is its rather
mis-shapen form. 1t Is full as late as
the Candy, generally considered the
best late sort, Of much better quality
and Is large and firm. In color 1t Is an
attractive, bright crimson, and this fea
ture ought to offset, to some extent, the
bad shape. If 1t does as well under
general culture as 1t has under tests,
it will be valuable acquisition. II
has not yet, so far as the knowledge
Of the writer goes, been introduced, but
doubtless will be offered a year from

Flowers for the Gardening Beginner.
To make his flower garden a contln-
ual delight, the amateur should study
the characteristics Of the flowers ne
grows and see that each serves pur-
pose If he loves fragrance, nocotiana
affinis, with Its abundant star-shaped
white flowers, Is excellent and fra
grant novelty which presents a strik-
ing contrast to this Is nocotiana San
deras, with deep pink, almost red flow
ers. These, above all, are excellent for
borders, planted In front of taller grow
ing shrubs.
For bed where mass Of yellow Is
desired, golden California poppy Is
useful Ii must be sown where 1t Is to
bloom, as it does not transplant well.
Its flowers are not adapted for cutting.
For side and back fences clumps OF
single and double hollyhocks In mass
are good. A flower which grows nearly
as high as the hollyhock Is radbeckia
golden glow, which produces a wealth
of golden flowers good for cutting. 1t
is a good plan to devote the space In
front of one fence to dahlias and COS
mos, for these are sure to please the
most fastidious flower lovers. The
cactus and decorative forms Of the
dahlia are becoming more and more
popular every year. The tubers may
be stored in the cellar in winter like
potatoes. If there happens to be a
sunny exposure in the garden, plant a
few pompon chrysanthemums, which
are hardy. They will give an effective
display Of tiny flowers in the autumn.
The Drummondi phlox are exceedingly
p1tty, slow growing ANNALS, exceed
ingly snowy in mass In warm and ex-
posed situations they last but few
weeks in bloom.

The New Flax Industry.

An industry new at least to Mime
sofa has been introduced during quite
recent years. 1t relates to the manu-
facture Of fax straw into binding
twine. Professor Shaw affirms In
Orange Judd Farmer that one Of the
finest features Of the new Industry
is that 1t will tend very much to lessen
waste on many farms Of the west. No
where probably in all the United States
has the sin of waste prevailed to such
an extent as in the western and north
western states. Flax straw was al
most complete waste. The greater
the number of acres devoted to the
growth Of fax the greater was the
waste.

Don't Forget the Lettuce.

Lettuce plants that have been win
tered over in the cold frame should be
planted at the earliest possible date in
spring, and sowing of the seed should
be made at about the same time. Many
kinds Of vegetables will yield good re-
turns on land but moderately enriched,
but lettuce ca0 only be grown to per-
lection In very rich and heavily ma
nured ground. Plant in rows twelve or
fifteen inches apart; plants should be
set eight inches apart in the row, and
the seed sown In drill and when large
enough thinned out to about eight or
ten inches. Give clean and thorough
cultivation. Varieties Of lettuce are
exceedingly numerous, and the selec-
ton of few good kinds is not with
out difficulty.

Give HOGS Little Salf.

In reference to proper proportions of
salt and sulphur in mixtures for sheen
and hogs, Professor Richards writes
"The mixture of salt and sulphur that
we feed our sheep Is made up of one
part of sulphur and five parts Of salt.
1t is not necessary that 1t be made up
of any definite proportion, as there is
no danger of feeding too much of either
substance. We try TO mix it in the pro-
portions mentioned. A good mixture
for hogs is one-fifth Of sulphur, two
fifths Of charcoal and two-ffths Of
salt"

by so many Christians Is occasloned by
failing to distinguish between the ques-
tiOns, Are you saved" and Are you
free from hardshipsT"
"Are you s!nlessT" and "Are you as
good as Paul Tor some one else) 2"
Once a man said to me: "Well, I
can't believe that If 1 were Christian
that God would treat me so'-he had
lost his wife and only child.
I,replied: Don't you know that
these trials are necessary to develop the
Christian graces? Is 1t not the night
the dark night-that brings out the
stars? Now, how could you manifest
that sweet grace Of forgiveness unless
the Lord first permitted an enemy to
do you some injusticeT Hence, 1t Is
self-evident that the question, "Are you
a Christian?" does not mean "Are you
free from hardshlps?" for God gives ev-
cry Christian some cross to bear. That
Is the Fathers way of conforming the
Christian to the Image of His son-'by
following In His steps,"
Nor does the question "Are you
Christian?" mean Are you sinless?"
For Paul sinned and all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God.
"None are righteous-no, not one"
To be saved from the guilt and power
of sin does not mean to be proof against
SHINING.
And lastly, "Are you a Chrlstan?"
does not mean "Are you as good as
some one else" Salvation Is not sane.
| tldcatioI One Is an act, the other Is
a process. we are saved from the guilt
of sin as soon as we put our trust ln
Christ but 1t requires lifetime to be.
come sanctifed-that is, to become
holy, to get the badness out and the
goodness In us. In other words, becom.
ing good" is development, slow,
gradual, imperceptible process like a
brook gradually becoming mighty
Hudson, a grain Of corn bringing forth
full ear at harvest or the lump of
leaven that gradually permeates the
whole bowl Of meal. Therefore Chris
tians should not mourn because they
are not as good as some one else God
Is not through with them yet.
Hence when Christians like Elijah,
John the Baptist and Timothy lack the
assurance that they are Gods children,
the fault is not with God but with
them. They lost sight of his promises
as they grope among llfe's tribulatlons.
They look down when they ought to
look up!

THE HOPE THAT sUsTAINS.
By Rev. John Edwin Triplet


know whom have believed and am
persuaded that he Is able to keep that
which | have committed unto him
against that day.-II. Tim. 1: II.
If Paul had been millionaire, these
words would not appeal to the great
mass of Christian people. The average
Christian earns his bread by tOiling
amid privations and temptations. In
this fierce struggle for existence he Is
often crucified on unseen crosses and
caused to fight many a silent battle.
Hence the faith of the average Chris
tian is often temporarily eclpsed by
his trials, and then 1t Is hard for him
to say: 81 know whom l have be-
lieved."
Now, Paul was penniless, hard
working Christian, and he uttered these
words under the most trying circum-
stances. After enduring the hardships
of these missionary journeys he was
now in dismal Roman dungeon await
Ing his execution. If he had been like
many brethren of to-day, we would find
him complaining about the unjustness Of
his lot, and this comforting text would
not have been. But Paul forgot his
sufferings in his sympathy for Timothy
He wrote the last letter Of his life to
comfort a sorrowful heart. Such was
the faith of Paul-he trusted Christ
until that day when the sea shall give
up Its dead and every man shall receive
his reward.
But Timothy was like many Chris
tians Of the past and present For In
stance, the prophet Elijah, after fleeing
eight miles to escape the wrath of Jez-
ebel, flung himself beneath Juniper
and sobbed to God to let him die. Then
John the Baptist, while languishing In
the prison of Herod, began to wonder
why God should treat him so. Had his
ministry been false? And so he sent
his disciples to the Master to ask: Art
thou the Messiah that was to come or
do we look for anotherT And these
dark days of doubt and uncertainty are
common to every Christian. Sometimes
temptations entice us; we fall and with
bitterness we cry: The good that
would do do not; and the evil would
not do that do"
Now the anguish and doubt suffered

Coops for Small Chicks.

A farmers wife writes: The coop I
use, shown in sketch, is much better If
made Of pine. 1t is made in three
separate pieces, the roof and bottom be-
Ing removable The roof projects over
the coop on all sides, but much farther
In front and back. This Is to keep rain
from beating in. The roof boards are
nailed to two narrow pieces, which are
just the length of the inside of the
coop, and are placed far enough from
the front and the back to fit inside the
coop. The cracks are battened.
The floor, d, Is made to slip in at
the back like a drawer. This coop is
very easily summed and cleaned on ac-
count Of the removable floor and roof.
The S-inch board at the top in front
has holes bored in for ventilation. A
wooden button on top board and a 3
inch strip at the bottom holds on the
frame Of wire screen which Is used
stormy days when the chicks are too
young to run out, and on warm nights.
