American Drums Excel.

With the stirring rattle OF the
drums, the parade passed down the
street and the Casual Observer said
to his friend:
ever know that Americans were
the greatest drum makers in tho
world? Fact. Not only do they make
the most drums, but they make the
finest drums, too. And there's great
deal more to the manufacture Of
drum than you would think. OF
course the cheap variety doesn't
amount to anything. They're simply
toys. There is just as much differ
ence in drums as in any other must
cal instrument, though most people
wouldn't think so. The drums re-
quired in orchestra and band work
have a certain sharpness Of tone.
while those used in corps and mill
tary work must have a iuller tone,
and the drum must not be so sensitive
to the touch.
"And how many parts do you sup
pose a we'll made drum consists of

thing must be of first quality, too, for |

Quarantine Against Cuba.

Secretary Taft had conference
with the President as to the putting
in operation Of a quarantine against
Cuba, owing to the alleged existence
Of yellow fever in that country. 1t
was decided to suspend for one week
the putting into effect Of the quar-
antine, pending an opportunity for
Gov. Magoon to pass upon the state
ment Of the Marine Hospital author
tiles that a quarantine is necessary.
Governor Magoon and the business
men Of Cuba claim that there is no
reason why a quarantine should be
enforced at the beginning Of the yell
low fever season, while the authori-
ties Of the Marine Hospital Service, in
a report just made to Secretary Cor
telyou, insist that the quarantine
ought to be rigidly enforced, as usual.

orinin Of the Terri.

An ancient Talmudic legend relates
that Adam on his expulsion from par
adise encountered a cutting nor.h
wind against which his scant girdle
Of fig leaves proved poor protection.
AS he wistfully cast his eyes over
the desolate plain Of Shinar he per.
ceived at a great distance a dead
thorn bush. Running thither ia
crouched behind 1t. and while still
shivering he saw q wild ass come by
And Adam cried to the beast TO lie
down alongside and keep him warm.
But the ass spake out ("for asses
sometimes spake in those days as
since" saith the commentator and
derided him for not having a warm
coat of fur. Whereupon Adam waved
wroth, and slew the ass with a piece
of the thorn tree, and with teeth and
nails stripping of the ass coat, wrap.
ped it around himself But toward
noon, the sun growing hot and a
scorching wind arising, Adam con.
ceived the happy thought of hanging
the skin over the bush and reposing
in the shade thereof. It was done

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

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 carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying 1t can
make poor paint wear well.
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 painting Is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead (trade marked with THE
Dutch Boy Painter") there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead Is capable Of abso-
lutte test for purity. National Lead
