said that absence destroys weak pas

has little strength it may be cured by
personal contact with ths object. But
the safer plan perhaps is to aeap out

the two countries. He labored to build

showed si1illful diplomacy in dealing
With other nations He was killed in

was disastrously defeated by Henry

Those were strenuous times. when it
was necessary for king to be a fight

James used often to go about the cOun-

LETTE r TO Z. A. WALCOTT,
BARTON, VT.

Isesr Sir: Tlis happened seven years ago
n al , having three little poultry houses
bought one gallon Ct each of two paints to
paint them paid $1.69 for one and $1.75 for
the other, Is cents difference.
J he SIG gallon painted one house, the $1.75
gallon painted the other two houses. The
cost of the paint was: first house SIS 3, conf
house 871ac.; third 1ouse s71ac.
Fut painting goes with ps in and it costs as
much to paint one paint as another, about
$50 per gallon.
The painting Of one of those houses with
SLIGO paint cost the same as that of the 9th er
two with $l.75 paint; $3.50. Difference $1.75
house same way as the rs cents.
Four years ago, he painted that first little
house again, same paint-he wanted to know
what the cost of keeping house we'll painte ed
really is, The Other two houses didn't need
painting.
Last year he painted all three tit e houses
same paint as at first; and reckoned his cost
to date of beginning the lob.
The first little house had cost $50 twice. or
s102r, and was ready to Iaint again; the
| second two houses had cost $50, and were
ready to paint again.
That is: saving 10 cents a gallon made one
| house cost twice much as the other two
| houses, besides the fuss tf an extra paint
/ job in three years.
The $l.75 paiut was Devoe.
This tale is made.up CT a thousand exper
fences. Devoe is aiwa. the paint that take!
