LETTER TO A. S. WILLARD
Palatka, Florida.

Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons
There are useful and useless gallons
Useful paint is lead-zinc-and-o oil
with dryer and color; useless paint
is whiting, china-clay, ground stone
barytes, benZine, or water.
This stuff is putin, because it is
cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to make
more gallons to sell; Of course, the
buyer doesn't suspect, or he wouldn't
buy it.
1t costs as much to brush-on this
useless stuff rs lead-zInc-and-oil ;
but it looks like that and feels like
that in the brush; the painter doesn't
suspect it. Besides, if the owner is
willing, why should the painter OBJ
iect to painting two gallons for one?
He is paid by the day; more gallons,
more days, more money.
Average paint at full price is about
one-third this useless stuff; and av-
erage paint at Sl.25 or 81 so or $l.75 a
gallon is twO-thirds trash. Fool
paint is the proper name for all but
pure paint; it is made to fool people
with. Knave paint is another good
name; it is made, of course, by
knaves. Sick paint is name for an
honest weak paint. They are all
weak and all eXtravagant; too many
gallons to buy and too many gallons
to brush-on. Devoe is the standard.
Yours truly

Sydney Whitelow Drowned.

Sydney Whitelow, aged 10 years,
was drowned at East Palatka last
Sunday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock,
while in bathing at that point of the
st. Johns river known as the DEVILS
Elbow.
Young Whitelow, Ralph jacobson
and Percy Parrot were visiting the
Clark family at East Palatka on
Sunday During the afternoon these
boys, together with Lloyd Clark,
went bathing in the river near the
Browning mill. Whitelow was the
only one of the crowd who could not
swim, and it is supposed he misjudged
the depth of the water when he
jumped from the wharf. He was the
first overheard and began to sink al
most Immediately, and all efforts of
his companions to save him proved
futile.
The news was brought to this city
by Conductor Pritchard of the F. E..
G. Ry.
A searching party composed of H.
M. Fearnside, j. 9. Query, Carlos
Canova, Ed. Gerber, o. r. Staley,
Tom Holden and others dragged the
river from Sunday night until Tues
day morning in an effort to recover
the body, but without success, Dy-
Mantle was used, also, but availed
nothing. On Tuesday morning at
$3.50 the body was found floating be-
tween the piling of an old dock, some
200 feet from where the drowning oc-
cured. There was scarcely any mu-
tilation.
The body was taken in charge by
Undertaken Gerber and prepared for
burial. The remains were sent to
Newark, N. j., on Wednesday for
interment. Mrs. L. Jacobson and
Mrs. H. Joseph, aunts of the unfor-
tunate boy, accompanied the re-
mains north.
Young Whitelow came to this city
from Newark, N. j., last October,
and has been clerking in the Jacob
son store. He was universally pop
ular, and his untimely demise viii
cause much regret here among a
large number of friends

Perfumed Pillows.

Since those extra little pillows have
become so frequently met with as a
part of bed furnishings, pine and Law
ender pillows have both become more
popular.
Both of them, when made for a
bed, are incased in strong muslin
covers, over which the pretty little
white slip is drawn.
For touches, of course, darker and
more serviceable materials are used,
often for pine pillows a deep yellow,
embroidered, in a simple outline
stitch, in brown or deep bronze
greens. For lavender a light Law.

Or one of the pretty white cretonnes,

Ing, says Woman's Life.
If you are going away and can
squeeze just one more thing into your
trunk, tuck one of the regular baby
pillows in. The pillows where you
are staying may Re stuffy and hard,
and that little pillow is just the thing
for a hammock or for the nap that
you take in the old orchard, stretched
out upon rug or steamer blanket, or
it may add much to the peace of your
nightly slumbers.

Power From the Tides.

Attention is once more called to
this subject by the proposed estab-
lishment of a power plant based on
the use Of the tides to compress air
at Rockland, Me. At that place there
exists a natural tidal basin covering
an area Of about n square mile.
The average rise and fall of the tide
is twelve feet. 1t has been calculated
by the engineers in charge Of the pro-
ject that 5000 horse power can be de-
veloped, assuming an efficiency Of
seventy per cent. for the air COM
pressing apparatus. 1t has been
shown that compressed air can be
transmitted long distances through
pipes with very little loss of power,
and 1t is proposed to supply such air
to stone quarries situated within a
radius of twenty miles from the tidal
basin. 1t is pointed out that many
similar tidal basins exist elsewhere
along the seacoast.-Youth's Com
panion.

How to Lose Ground.

God hath a thousand keys to open
a thousand doors for the deliverance
of His own when it has come to the
greatest extremity. Let us be faith
full and care for our own part, which
is to do and suffer for Him, and lay
Gods part on Himself, and leave it
there; duties are ours, events are
the Lords.
When our faith goeth to NEEDLE
with events, and to hold a court (f I
may so speak, upon Gods provi-
dence, and beginneth to say, How
wilt Thou do this or that" we lose
ground. We have nothing to do
there; it is our part to let the AL
mighty exercise His own Office and
steer His own helm.-Rutherford.

Making Assets of Our Failures.

Even the results Of a mans fall
ures and sins can be turned to good
account in the Lords service, when
man in Gods strength has put those
sins behind him. There is rich en-
couragement here for all VINO are
tempted to Encouragement because
of the multitude Of failures with
which their past is crowded. One
who has failed and is striving to live
down that failure can sympathlze
with another who has failed, as n
who does not know the meaning OF
failure can never do.
Whatever our sins may have been,
there are sure to be other souls close
by who need help and sympathy IN
the struggle with those same sins;
and God in His love permits US to
minister to them, if we will, with
peculiar power because of the very
scars that we bear. Did yesterday
witness your worst failure of aHl!D
There are others you can help now,
whom you could not help before. We
need not try to understand this, nor
to say that it is not so because good
can never come from evil. 1t is n
of the mysteries OF the undeserved
blessing of Gods ove.-Sunday-

will be tasked, and it becomes neces-
sary to break the glass to get the lid
off. So-called jar wrenches + gen.
orally of little use. A Nebraska in
ventor has solved the problem in a
very simple manner. He has devised
a wrench that cannot fail to loosen
the lid, and with little effort, too. In
connection with the usual tin jar lid
is a wire handle, which is shown in
the illustration. Fitting over the
handle is a rod, in one end of which
is a slot about the length and width
of the handle. Sliding on the rod is
a small catch. After slipping the rod
over the jar handle the catch Is
moved as close to the handle as pos
sible. BY using the rod as a lever
and holding the catch in place with
the thumb little exertion is required
to force the jar lid loose.-Philadel-

Use of Coarse Scrim.

Coarse scrim may be used in many
ways, its possibilities being practical
~ without limit. This scrim takes
dye beautifully and curtains made of
1t and embroidered in old-fashioled
cross stitch leave little to be desired
in the way of beauty. The work is
done right on the material, as the
weave is like canvas, the threads are
easily counted and there is no tax on
the eyes. There is no end to the de-
signs suited to cross stitch embroid-
cry, and almost any flower, slightly
conventionalized, may be used. A
beautiful set of curtains seen recent
ly were of scrim dyed a deep coffee
color, with dragons worked in dull
blue scattered about here and there.
