II PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is q simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The LIQUID part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in.
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place q pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the fame against it and
see what it will do. If it is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
thence the White Lead can be CON-
pletely reduced to n globule Of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
cave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any n about to have painting done.
SO that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as it's frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re.
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.

CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case Of Scabies-Body a Mass
of Sores from Scratching-Her
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.

"a young woman came to our city
mission in a most awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and
told US that she had scabies (the itch)
incipient paresis, rheumatism. etc,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was a mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We workedhard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day / bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, and we bathed our
patient well and gave her a full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day l got a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this
young woman was able to look for a
position, and she is now strong and well.

In But Not Out.

Many devices and traps are used to
catch them, but one is more simple
or efficient than the enc shown in this
illustration. A pit is dug in the
ground along q rabbit-run and two
pieces of board, swinging on a pivot,
placed over it. AS the rabbit strikes
the board it inclines and pitches him
into the pit, swinging back into posi-
ton again by the weight at the other
end. These traps, which are large
enough to hold 100 rabbits, are in
common use, are made by the whole
sale and sold by hardware and imple-
ment dealers generally.
Other d~eath-dealing devices for ex-
terminating the rabbits are the poison
carts, which sell for about $500 each,
and fumigators, costing $50, for pump
ing deadly gas into the traps.

THE LIVING ROOM.
Il Should at All Times BE ! "LIvabie''
Room.

#fA e-
What to do with the living room Is
a problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact az we'll as In name q living
room-a livable room 1t is the room
in which the most Of our time at
home is spent, the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and 1t is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings Of the
living room should be harmonious in
color, suitable in texture, and durable
in material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni-
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting. and
indicate a higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which we paste on when we
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out of a hard
wood floor? Yet, that is what we
suggest to the imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
full, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
r%epellant,
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form of a tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately it is the only
clean way, and more fortunately it is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect $50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light al
be modified by the use of darker
colors. Dark green's absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it; browns mod
ify it, and 81 on, through the scale
of colors. The color scheme of a
con not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but it is also
dependent upon the light Of the room.
