ONE LESSON WHOLLY WASTED.
Little Surprise Planned by BiIlioer
McSWat Not a Success.

"Lobelia," asked Mr.. McSwat, who
was rummaging in one Of the closets,
have you done anything with that
old coat of mine that used to hang on
the last hook in here"
YES" answered Mrs. McSwat. Il

You did. did you?" Well, you'll
be sorry to learn, perhaps, that there
was five-dollar bill in it which I
was going to give you il 1 found that
coat undisturbed at the beginning Of
March,"
20, think not, Billiger. I searched
it thoroughly before gave it away"
You're a pretty smart woman,
Lobelia. but it didn't occur to you to
look inside the lining"
20, yes. it did, and found the five-
dollar bill. I spent it for the rubber
plant in the front parlor that you have
admired so much and wondered how
managed to buy out of my allowance.
You're pretty smart man, Billiger.
but there are times when you don't
look the part
There being no further business be-
fore the house, Mr. McSwat adjourned

STUDY NOT A NECESSITY.
End and Aim of Woman's Life, as Un.
derstood by Rosie's Mother.

In one of the Philadelphia public
schools is little girl pupil whose an
cestors and coreligionists have ever
held that the principal end and aim Of
the life of woman is marriage. This
little girl is well up in most of her
studies, but she has an inveterate dis
like Of geography and it seems impos-
sible to teach the study to her. The
other day her teacher, made impatient
by her seeming unwillingness to learn
her geography lesson, sent to Rosie's
mother note requesting her to see
that the girl studied her lesson. The
next day showed no improvement,
however, and the teacher asked Rosie
whether she had delivered the note.
Yes. maam,' was the reply.
And did your mother read the
note, Rosie" said the teacher.
"Yes. NAM
What did she say?"
my mother said that she didn't
know geography, an she got married,
an my aunt didn't know geography,
an she got married. an you know
geography, an you didn't get mar.

eczema of very bad form. He treated
her, but the disease spread to her back

affected, and all her hair had to be cut
off. The pain she suffered was excru-

appeal to the Well-Informed in evsey
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
~ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Fig
and Elixir'of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved BY
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

Playing with a Boy.

Last summer the cyclone that
passed over a portion of Alabama
found 1G-year-old boy named Albert
IIorsford driving along the highway in

coming, but could not get out OF its
way. He remembers being picked up
and whirled round and round, and the
next thing he knew he was in the
river and hanging to the horses tail.
The horse and boy landed on the
bank. but when the buggy and the gro.

could not be found. The harness had
been blown of the horse, and the
boys hat and coat were gone. and he

,.AcHINE-eRoUNp 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
good doctors prescription. II the
painter did not mix it thus 1t would
be as unscientific 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 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
