An Irishman who served on board
man-of-war was selected by one Of
the officers to haul in 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 well 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 1t yet? Och. murder! The
says mighty deep. to be sure!"
After continuing In a similar strain
and conceiving there was little prob
ability of the completion of his labor.
he suddenly stopped short. and, ad-
dressing the officer of the watch. ex-
claimed: Bad manners to me, sir, II
don't think somebody's cut off the
other end of it!"-The Pathfinder.

When Mr.. B. went to call upon some
friends the other afternoon, he was on
his way out of town and SO had his
travelling bag with him. This he
placed In a corner, and when he rose
to leave he overlooked it. His hostess
happened to notice 1t before he had
reached the door. and called to her
little daughter:
Marie. run after Mr.. B. and tell
him he has left his grip here!"
The little one gave her mother one
swift glance OF surprise, but flew duti-
fully to obey orders.
"Oh, Mr.. b." they heard her say.
mother says you have forgotten to
take your grip with you" Then she
added, quickly. in tone of polite
apology: You see, most all of us
have had 1t this winter. and we'd
rather not have any more"

MAcHINE.eRouND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand
mixed" paint of the painter slightingly
spoken of as "unscientific" 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
a good doctors prescription. II the
painter did not mix it thus it would
be as unscientifc 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 a mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thorough
ly incorporated with or per cent.
of pure Linseed oil in the factory. max
ing a 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 a great advantage TO both painter
and house-owner. National Lead Com
pany will send a tester free to anyone

Grass Widow Defined.

Presiding Elder G. A. Lenhoff Of the
Macon district, says the Macon Herald,
tells this story of the late Bishop w.
w. Duncan of the Methodist Episcopal
church:
When Bishop Duncan first went to
Texas to preside at a state conference
there he was suffering severely with
hay fever. He was of a nervous dis
position and referred to his malady
with such frequency that it became a
bit tiresome to the preachers. A
brother got up to make a report and
in the course of it he used the term
grass widow"
Grass widow" cried the bishop.
1--WE heard that expression used half
a dozen times since I've been here. l
never heard 1t before. VIII you please
tell me, sir, what grass widow ISL"
The offending brother looked as calm
and as serious as an undertaken dur
ing the storm of laughter which the
bishops speech had developed. When
things quoted down he said. very
gently:
"a grass widow, bishop, is woman
whose husband has died with hay
fever!"

her, but the disease spread to her back.

USEFUL AND CHEAP PORTFOLIO.
Almost Indispensable Article That Can
Be Made at Home.

One of the most convenient things
for a schoolgirl to have is port
folio. In no other way can she keep
her desk tidy or her odds and ends of
miscellaneous papers in place where
she can put her hands on them at a
minutes notice.
or course one can always buy them,
made of leather and beautifully mount
ed, but these are apt to be very ex-
pensive. One can easily be made at
home which will serve the purpose
and be equally pretty.
Take two pieces of thick cardboard
10 inches square. cover them on one
side with heavy tan linen; this can be
embroidered in coarse yellow silk of
any design desirable and in several
shades. The other side of the CARL
board pieces should be covered with
yellow silken goods to match the
needlework on the outside. The edges
where the linen and silk join should
be featherstitched in heavy twist of
light shade of brown. then the two
pieces should be whipped together at
one side.
On one part of the inside have two
oblong pieces of linen five inches
wide; these featherstitch to the leaf
of the portfolio. On the opposite sid.
have a piece of the same material the
width of the cover, but a few inches
shorter

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

however, and the teacher asked Rosie
