SiIvering Mirrors.

Mirrors are usually silvered by coat
ing the glass with amalgam. For this
purpose a large, perfectly fat stone is
provided, and upon 1t is evenly spread
a sheet Of tin foil without crack or
flaw. This is covered to the depth of
one-eighth of an inch with clean mer-
curry. The plate Of glass, perfectly
cleaned from all grease and impurity,
is foated on to the mercury by sliding,
SO as to exclude all air bubbles. It Is
then pressed down by loading 1t with
weights in order to press out all the
mercury which remains fluid. This is
received in a gutter around the stone.
After about t~wenty-four hours it ia
gently raised upon its edge, and in a
few weeks it Is ready to frame.

Letter to Z. r. Atkinson.
Goldsboro, N. G.

Dear Sir: Here's another problem for
those arithmetic and algebra scholars:
If Devoe is worth $1.75 a gallon, and
spreads a half further than average
paint, and wears twice as long, what is
average paint worth a gallon put-on,
painters wages being $3.50 a day and
a days work a gallon of paint.
The answer is minus $1.75 a gallon.
That is: you could afford to paint with
average paint if somebody gives it to
you and pays half the painters wages.
Yours truly,

Malaria comes from the absorption into the blood of germs and microbes
which destroy the rich, nutntive qualities of the circulation and reduce it o
a weak, watery, diseasespreading stream. The healthy color of the skin is
to it by the millions of little red corpusc1es which are in the blood
These are the carriers of nourishment and health to all parts of the BODY:

ndern1nes the health and gives rise to innumerable and sometimes
serious disorders and diseases if the poison is allowed to remain in the blood.
AS the blood becomes more and more polluted with the maarial poison, the
digestion becomes derang ed, chiTs and fevAr are frequent, skin diseases

his having greatly distinguished him
