SOMETHING ABOUT PAINT.

The use of silex (rock crystal quartz specially ground by peculiar process, forty years ago was something new. To-day it is accepted by the best paint chemists and scientists generally, as necessary article in paint to make 1t wear we'll. Thousands of dollars are being expended in advertising the use of this article in paint, by manufac- turers. The evidence of the dura- bility of sileX paints has been too strong to be resisted. Florida is one of the most severe climates for paint, and what will stand in Florida will stand anywhere. Please note the following extracts from a letter just Sheriff of Alachua County, Archer, Fla.
 "I am practical painter, and have been using your Breinig's Lithogen Silicate Paint for about fifteen years, so 1 know pretty well what it is. large dealer has a test job of the paint of two prominent paint manufacturers, both being used on the same building. This paint was guaranteed to stand five years. 1 wish you could see this test job. l have used both these paints and know what they are, but when they guarantee UlClu lOT uVC ycdlo, l WOulu 1lhO u have them see my own house which l painted with Breinig's White Silicate Paint eight years ago, and there is no break in the paint to-day. Better still, I painted my neighbours house with two coats of Breinig's White Silicate Paint, and I repainted it again just l2 years and one month after, and it was not in very bad condition when painted it last. This house had stood for six or seven years without paint when I first painted it. Now do not mean to exaggerate about Breinig's $ Lithogen Silicate Paint, but 1 have used about all the best brands of paint and I have never yet found any other paint that will cover as much wOOdper gallon and wear equal to your Silicate White paint"
 ''Inasmuch as our paint outwears all other paints, and furthermore is the cheapest pure linseed oil paint on the market, you cannot afford to use any other.
 , Color cards and full information sent free on request"
 Give your orders for painting early but insist on Breinig's Lithogen Sil: icate paint being used and applied properly.

LITTLE SERMONS.
TRUE PENITENCE.-BY o. o. WRIGHT

TRUE PENITENCE.-BY o. o. WRIGHT.
 Ps 51: 1O-"Create within me clean heart, God, and renew a right spirit within me-"
 A divine dissatisfaction with ones self is the real beginning of all true re- form and spiritual progress. Not merely dissatisfaction with ones natural life, for mere animal discon- tent generally breeds mischief, and leads to worse state of mind and heart. For when one compares him. self with his neighbors in respect to material things, and finds the contrast unfavorable, his dissatisfaction will most likely lead to envy, pride and selishness. The lusts of the flesh, and the pomp and vanities of the world have their beginnings in the unsatis- fled cravings of the animal nature. The haste and strife for wealth, po- sition and power have their source in the dominant influence of the physical life.
 It is this dissatisfaction with the natural, animal self that leaus men into dishonesty and crime, that they may obtain the means of keeping up the false, artificial state of life in which they have placed themselves. Multitudes of men and women destroy themselves socially and morally by foolishly striving to keep up the mere outward appearance of state of life which the world calls respectable, de- grading their souls to make beautiful their bodies, destroying the life of the spirit for the sake of the flesh. And how often it is the sad fact that the more there is on the outside the less there is within? Indeed, sewing to- getber fg-leaves to cover the naked ness of the soul is Still the principal business of the human family.
 with ones self, which leads to true penitence and spiritual progress and that is what God is seeking to produce in us all. It is dissa tisfaction with our own spiritual life. It is content ment with such things as we may have, for the life of the higher nature does not depend upon the mere things of the world, but upon the huDgering and thirsting of the soul for the righteous ness of God and the things of the eternal kingdom of truth and love. Ii comes by comparing our life with the life of the Son of Man. It is the re, suit of trying our spirit by the spirit of God. It comes by putting our selves as we are alongside of what we should be as children of the Holy and Eternal Father. Anyone who will take the candle of the Lord and go down deep into his own moral and spiritual life and search his healt, as with the electric light, to find how much of God there may be in his soul, will be thus revealed to himself and see himself from the divine point of view, and having his character tried by the true standard he will become dissatisfied with himself, even as the Lord is dissatisfied with him; and such discontent-the dissatisfaction of the spirit will cause one to cast away all the follies and sinful pleasures of this life, and lead us to cry out in the language of true penitence: Create in me clean heart, o God, and renew a right spirit within me'

Life insurance has become an essen- tial part of civilized life; not a luxury, not a passing fancy, but necessity
 Many intelligent, conscientious and affectionate husbands and fathers rely upon it wholly for the protection of dependents. Many business men se- cure accommodation by virtue of life insurance. However useful and i'm portant other forms of insurance may be, they could all be dispensed with and less injury would result to the pub lie than would follow the elimination of life insurance from the life of today. And where will the public go for this protection? Mere size will not attract the thoughtful man: guesses of what may happen in the distant future will not interest him; the offer of policy without payment the first year will not inspire with confidence the man who realizes that while he may die this year he may live half century, and he must pay for his policy sooner or later. Those who need legitimate pro- tectiOn will turn to those companies who come before the public with clean hands; who invite the closest inspection of their actual condition; whose methods and plans have stood the test of experience, and who offer sound policy at fair price, and have no bar

The layout is all surveyed and it is only question of letting the contracts before the grading and double track ing of the Highland division east, from a point west of Danbury, will begin. The experiment. of using Hawleyville as a distributing point has been tried and found so very satisfactory that it is now practically settled as to what the New Haven people, esintend to do at this point. Yard and other improve ments are under consideration, so that now it is undoubtedly question of on' ly very short time before the wheels of commerce will roll to and fro from our little suburb. There is already agi- tation as to where the increased popu- lation will be housed. Land for busi- ness and residential purposes will be in demand
