THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the
least cost depend largely upon the
material chosen. Paint is simple
compound and the Ingredients can be
easily tested. The solid part or pig
ment should be White Lead. The
liquid part should be Linseed Oil.
Those best informed on painting al
ways buy these ingredients separate
ly, and have their painter mix them
fresh for each Job. Before the mix
ing the test Is made.
Place pea-sized bit of White Lead
on piece Of charcoal or piece OF
wood. Blow the fame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. If it Is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright,
pure metallic lead will appear, and
with patience the White Lead can be
completely reduced to one globule Of
metallic lead This is because pure
White Lead Is made from metallic
lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. II
they will not change wholly to lead,
but leave residue. it is clear that
some adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, 1t would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free
to any one about to have painting
done, SO that the White Lead may be
tested. With 1t will be sent hand

ligious subjects. Two years ago Elder
Sweeney returned to Illinois to preach
at the little church, where 50 years
ago he preached his first sermon. He
later made trip to the larger cities
of the Western States where he preach
ed a series of sermons on the Goctrinal
points of the church of which he had
for half century been one of It's fore
most preachers.
In 1892 Elder Sweeney issued book
of sermons which throughout the coun-
try had phenomenal sale. When Presl
dent James A. Garfield occupied the
White House he was asked to use his
influence to persuade Elder Sweeney
to enter politics and replied as follows
Il would not fear to see Brother
Sweeney enter the arena against either
Mr.. Blaine or Mr. Conklin, but should
be sorry to learn that ne had abandon
ed the ministry for seat in Congress. "
AS pastor Elder Sweeney was as
successful as he was pulpit orator.
His social life, with all his geniality
and mirthfulness was ever the delight
of bis friends embel!ished as it was
with all tire graces Of benevolent
heart. He was possessed of a happy
temperament which characterized the
eloquence of his discourses and CONVEX
satiOn. At the nuptial altar, baptismal
waters, and at the grave he was always
the devoted and faithful Christian min
lister.
Elder Sweeney was a man of fine
ply slQue, robust manhood and cOurtly
appearance. He was as gentle as a
woman, yet noble in his conceptions of
civic duty. No call of charity ever
went unanswered and no call to duty
unperformed. He always responded to
the wall of the poor and distressed
and in season and out of season was al
ways at the bedside of the dying to
speak words of comfort and consola-
ton.
HIS advice was frequently sought by
men of mature years in matters of
business, while he gave unstinted to
young men that encouragement that
mas protfied them in a career of useful
ness as citizens. and in whatever call
ing their talents seemed to favor.

day afternoon from the Christian
Church at 80 o'clock, conducted by
