90 YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD is9
Its Chief Use and a Method of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil. making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. Tho
painter thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the adj
dition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only Adulterated
and fake white Lead" of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only a percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all:
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance Of pure White Lead.
There is, however, a positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with it.
The blow-pipe fame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. If
supposed white lead be thus tested
and it only partially reduces to lead,
leaving a residue. it is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.

No Fight Against Crum.

Washington, December 2.-The de-
cision of the president, announced
yesterday, to appoint w. D. Crum,
the Charleston negro, to another term
as collector of the port Of Charleston,
caused no surprise, and was not even
protested against by the people OF
Charleston. The president showed
in his childish determination to push
Crum's appointment over heads OF
the people of Charleston and the SEN
ior senator from South Carolina when
the fight was made against it in the
senate, that he was determined to
have his way, in spite of precedent,
excellence of service, or anything else,
and it seems that the people of Char
lesion have decided to let him have
his way again. 1t is to be hoped that
he derives some pleasure from fore
ing an Objectionable appointment,
simply to get himself talked about in
the papers, which is the ruling pas
sion of his life. Crum's term expires
this month, and he will be re-appoint-
ed. It is not expected that any fight
will be made against his confirmation
by the senate.

Fears to Meet Tillman.

=. A dispatch from Springfield, ILL.,,
says Shelby NJ. Cullom, dean OF the
United States Senate and for years
one of the prominent members of
that body, recently left Springfield
for Washington with trembling flesh
and with fear in his heart.
The venerable statesman is terror
stricken over the prospect of his COM
ing meeting with Senator Tillman.
For years Cullom and Tillman, as
widely separated as the poles in their
political ideas and methods, have
been warm personal friends. Outside
the halls of congress the two, by mu-
tual consent, have avoided all pollt.-
cal discussion. save one SUBJECTIVE
negro. The Illinois Senator, from the
home of Lincoln, the emanc1pator,
has taken keen delight in lambastlng
his Southern friend on the floor of the
Senate, in committee, and in private,
because of his hatred of the blacks.
Just before Cullom left Springfield
he was talking to United States Dis
trict Judge J. Otis Humphrey, of the
meat packers ''immunity-bath' fame.
"Well, Senator" said the judge, Il
suppose you will be glad to get PACK
to Washington, where you can busy
yourself with the affairs of state?'
'sNot by some sight, emphatically
responded the Senator.
'eWhy + thought you found your
greatest pleasure in your official du-
ties" said the surprised Judge.
