HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

LH9z.Aet3
Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements which
are exposed to the weather, to have the
paint applied properly. No excellence
OF material can make up for careless
ness OF application, any more than care
in applying it can make poor paint
wear we'll.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered hard
and smooth. Pure white lead should
be mixed with pure linseed oil, fresh
for the Job, and should be well brushed
out, not flowed on thick. When paint
ing is done in this manner with Ma
tional Lead Company's pure white lead
Grade marked with ''The Dutch Boy
Painter") there is every chance that
the job will be satisfactory. White lead
is capable of absolute test for purity.
| National Lead Company, Woodbridge
Building, New York, will send a testing
outfit free to any one interested.

This reminds me of an old negro
whom I met in the hills down South

the audience to stand by their pastor

What eventual effect Mr.. Young's
Ideas will have on his posterity remains
to be seen. The more grandchildren
there are the less money there will be
for each. On the other hand, the more
each family has the less danger there
will be of having its inheritance dim
inished or cut off by deaths.
Furthermore. not the least interest
Ing point to the family is that the birth
Of every additional child probably post
pones the date of the final division.
Mr.. Young directed that this should
not take place until his widow and his
four daughters are all dead and the
Youngest living g%randchild is 81 years
old.
If. when the last Of the daughters
dies, there are any grandchildren under
age, the trustees will have to walt un-
til the youngest one caches 81. If the
last survivor of the daughters lives to
extreme old age however, the young

be 81 at her death. in which case the
estate would be distributed at once.
