MAcHlNE-GRoUND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand
mixed" paint of the painter slightingly
spoken of as "unscientiic" and mot
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side of the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
1t is the most Scientific" paint there
is, because it is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
it is to be used. 1t is as scientific as
good doctors prescription. If the
painter did not mix it thus it would
be as unscie.. .ific as a patent medi-
cine. Moreover, the paint which a
good painter turns out is made of
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. If he does not mix it himself he
is not sure what is in it, and conse-
quently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery, that is simply mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thorough
ly incorporated with Z or 8 per cent.
of pure Linseed oil in the factory, MAX
ing paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make it ready for the brush.
The thorough incorporation of pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
plished before the painter gets it.
To know how to tell pure white lead
is great advantage to both painter
and house-owner. National Lead Com
pany will send tester free to anyone
interested. Address the company at
Woodbridge Building, New York, N. Y.

MADE HIS MEANING CLEAR.
Professors Son Translated Fathers
Speech Into the Vernacular.

A college professor, in company
with his son, was enjoying a walk in
the country, when he met an old
farmer. 1t had been very wet sea-
son, and the professor, thinking to
start the conversation in a way that
would prove interesting to the farmer,
remarked:
There has been rather abnormal
precipitation of late"
The farmer seemed somewhat en-
barrassed, and the professors son,
who used a different vernacular,
though he was student in the college
to which his father was attached, at
tempted to straighten out the matter.
Drawing the farmer to one side, he
said in a superior way:
'The governor means that we've
been having a devil of a lot of rain"

Daniel O'Connell had got a man of

at another for burglary; but on the
third occasion, for stealing a coasting
brig, the task of hoodwinking the jury
seemed too great for even his powers

that the crime was committed on the
high seas and obtained an acquittal.
The prisoner lifted up his hands and

NEW ARRIVALS IN CANADA
NEARLY 100000 IN 1907.
ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND FROM
THE UNITED STATES.

Now that IL is known that in the
year just closed nearly sixty thou
sand from the United States declared
their intention of making their homes
in Canada, it might not be out Of
place to search for some reasons that
would bring this about. These people
are but following the example of the
fifty-five or sixty thousand who did
the same thing the year previous, and
an almost equal number who the year
before that but followed the example
of the thousands of the year preced-
ing. An excellent climate, certain and
positive crops of grain of all kinds,
good markets for their produce, land
and good land, too at low prices,
easy terms of payment, (not forget
ting the 100 acres of land given free
by the Government, particulars Of
which the Canadian Government Agent
whose name appears elsewhere will
tell you about and then the splendid
social conditions. The situation is
pretty well sized up by writer in one
of the magazines. Quoting from this
article, we find this: Those of US
who made good in the States," inter-
iected another settler as if to con-
tinue the story of his neighbor, have
had it easy from the start; a little
money is mighty good thing on COM
ing into new country. But those
who make an entry, or even buy lands
at low rates, are able to square things
in two or three seasons crops. There
are hardships in building shanties,
and then with increasing prosperity
getting things into shape for better
homes. But affairs go much as in the
States. We have the largest liberty in
the world; there is more home rule In
the Provinces than in the several
states of the Republic. Taxes are
light and with only few million peo-
pie west of Winnipeg we don't get in
each others way. Ones friends over
the line probably thought we would not
live through the winter; and while it
is cold, real cold, it is free from the
moisture experienced in the east.
Schools are good as encouraged by
the Government; the enterprising
American promoter and Yankee drum
mer see to it that we take notice Of
the latest improvements and best agri-
cultural machinery Altogether we are
as near to affairs as we would be on
our own farms in the States. Winni-
peg bears the same relation to us as
Chicago did at home; and Edmonton
with the surrounding region advances
as Omaha did in the days when we
were as young as the boys yonder.
We get together much as they did in
the oranges over the border; the gov
eminent has established experimental
schools Of agriculture, and progress in
every line is stimulated. This is a
great region for grazing" we hear the
Calgary citizen continuing, "and then
with building elevators of wheat at
one dollar a bushel, many of us find
time to go over to the live stock eX-
hibition in Chicago or visit old friends
during the course of the winter.
Every man is taken for what he is
worth or for what he can raise; and
in this good air and on this fertile soil
we intend to show our old friends
that we are made of the right stuff
that we are chips Of the old block
who built up the American West"

End and Aim Of Woman's Life, az Un-

In one OF the Philadelphia public
schools is a little girl pupil whose an

by her seeming unwillingness to learn
her geography lesson, sent to Rosies
mother a note requesting her to see
that the girl studied her lesson. The
next day showed no Improvement,
however and the teacher asked Rosie

An Irishman who served on board
a man-of-war was selected by one of
the officers to haul in a towline of con-
siderable length that was towing over
the taffrail. After pulling in 40 or so
fathoms, which had put his patience
severely to proof, as we'll as every
muscle of his arms, he muttered to
himself:
Surely it's as long as to-day and to-
morrow. It's a good weeks work for
any five in the ship. Bad luck to the
leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What,
more of it yet? Och, murder! The

and conceiving there was little prob
