DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD 1877
Its Chief Use and 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 1t to the
fumes Of weak acetic acid and carbonlc
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form 1t is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the ad-
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, positive test by
which the purity or impurity Of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with 1t.
The blow-pipe fame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. II
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and 1t only partially reduces to lead,
leaving a residue, 1t is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.
The National Lead Company guar.
antee all White Lead sold in packages
bearing its Dutch Boy Painter" trade
mark to prove absolutely pure under
this blow-pipe test, and that you may
make the test yourself in your own
home, they will send free upon re-
quest blow-pipe and everything else
necessary to make the test, together
with a valuable booklet on paint. Adj

GLAD TO HAVE HIM GO.
Toll-Gate Keeper Thought He Had
Visit from His Satanic Majesty.

This is not the only age in which
motor cars have created excitement
and disturbance. In 1902 such appari-
tons were few and far between; at
present they are too frequent to at
tract attention. Mr.. Joseph Hatton, in
"Old Lamps and New" tells of the
fright caused by one of Trevithick's
steam locomotives, made to run on
unrailed roads in the early part of the
last century.
Now and then one of these extraor-
binary vehicles would be encountered,
snorting and putting on the highway.
The countrymen regarded them as the
evil one in disguise.
One Of the cars, coming to a toll
gate, stopped for the gate to be
opened. The toll-man came hurrying
out. He flung the gate open with
trembling hands, and teeth which
chartered audibly.
The driver asked him how much toll
there was to pay.
20, nothing, dear Mr.. Satan, moth
ing!" hastily assured the man. GO
on as fast as you like; there's nothing
to pay."-Youth's Companion.

Orluin Of the Elevator.

The elevator originated in Central
Europe. The earliest mention Of the
elevator is made in letter Of Ma
poleon I. addressed to his wife, Arch.
duchess Maria Louise. He writes to-
her that when in Schoenbrunn, then
the summer residence Of the Austrian
emperor, near Vienna, he used the
"chaise volante" flying chair in that
castle which had been constructed for
Empress Maria Theresa. 1t consisted
of small, square room, sumptuously
furnished with hangings of red silk
and suspended by strong ropes with
counter weights, so that 1t could be
pulled up or let down with great ease
in a shaft built for the purpose
about 1850.

he could give no intelligent opinion of

tempt, was the result of the railroad

STATE LAW INVALID.
FEDERAL SUPREME COURT DE-

TUTE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
DISSENTING OPINION BY JUSTICE HARLAN
He Declares the Majority Decision,
Marks New Era in Relationship Be-
tween the States and Federal Gov
ernment-North Carolina Case Also
Decided in Railroads Favor.

Washington, Mar 24.-The supreme
court of the United States Monday
denied the petition Of Attorney Cen
eral Edward T. Young of Minnesota
for writ of habeas corpus in the
case in which he is held for contempt
of court by the United States circuit
court of Minnesota because he refused
to abide by an injunction issued by
that court forbidding him taking any
action looking to the enforcement of
the maximum railroad rate law. The
court at the same time pronounced
invalid the Minnesota law regulating
both freight and passenger rates. The
opinion was announced by Justice
Peckham, who held the Minnesota law
to be unconstitutional on it's face be-
cause of the enormous penalties i'm
posed for disobedience to it.
Justice Harlan delivered dissent
ing opinion, in which he expressed
the view that the decisions of the court
in the Minnesota and North Carolina
cases marks new era in the rela-
tionship between the states and the
federal government and between the
federal and state courts. He contend
ed that the suit of the railroad COM
pany in the Minnesota case was in
reality suit against the state and
he dwelt at length upon the enormity
of permitting a subordinate United
States court to order the Imprisonment
of an official of a sovereign state to
test law of that state. IF this can
be done,' he said, why cant a sim
liar injunction be put on a grand jury
or a district attorney in any criminal
proceedings"
