HOW TO TEST LINsEED OIL.

There is nothing that will make
paint go wrong on the house more
quickly than poor oil. 1t is as bad in
it's way as authorizations in the white
lead. Petroleum oil cheapeners may
be detected by placing a drop Of the
oil on a black painted surface. If one
sees the characteristic. iridescence or
play Of colors which kerosene exhibits,
1t is evidence Of adulteration. Corn
and fish oil can be detected by the
smell,
Adulteration in white lead can best
be discovered by the use of a blow
pipe, which National Lead Company
will send with instructions free to
anyone interested in paint. Address,
National Lead Company, Woodbridge
Building, New York City.

ACCEPTED VERDICT OF DOCTOR.
Great Painter Heard His Sentence
and Calmly Passed Away.

When Turner, the famous painter,
was dying at Chelsea he sent in de-
spair for a Ramsgate doctor who had
done him some good during his recent
stay at that place, and who, he hoped,
might take a different view of his case
from that which the London physi-
clans had expressed. The doctor ar
rived. and confirmed the opinion that
the artist had very little time longer
to live. Wait a bit" said Turner to
the doctor, you have had nothing to
eat and drink, yet, lave you?" NO,
but that's of no consequence" But
it is replied the painter, GO down
stairs and you will find some refresh
ment; and there is some fine brown
sherry-don't spare it-and then
come up and see me again" The doc
tor refreshed himself and then came
back to the patient Now, then"
said Turner, what is it? Do you still
think so badly of my case?" The
doctor regretfully said he could not
alter his former opinion. The artist
shook his shoulders, turned his face to
the wall and never spoke againl-

FEArs OF RAPID COMPOSITION.
Quick Work Of Some Writers of Popu-
lar Music.

M. Bompard, a French musician who
for wager composed the music to a
song in ten minutes, is a formidable
rival to Mr.. H. Trotere. of whose feats
of rapid composition some remarkable
stories are told.
His beautiful song ashore was. it
is said, both written and composed
within 40 minutes in Blanchard's res
taurant; the famous melody of In
Old Madrid was jotted down in a few
minutes on a biscuit bag in a little
public house in Rochester row. into
which the composer rushed on his
way from TIE Aquarium lest the air
should escape him before he could
reach home; Go to Sea" was COM
posed under similar conditions in a
West End music shop; and-crowning
feat of all-it is actually said that Mr..
Trotere composed THE Brow of the
HILL" wrote a letter and ran 400 yards
to catch the post all inside OF eight
minutes.

prise that Sir Arthur Sullivan complet.
