INV TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly No
excellence Of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear we'll.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead (trade marked with "The
Dutch Boy Painter') there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable of abb
solute test for purity National Lead

WEsLEY's WIFE AND CHILDREN
Two Sans Early in Life Showed Re.
n,arkabIe Musical Genius.

Charles Wesley's reputation has suf-
fered not little from the overshadox-
ing predominance OF his brother, saws
writer in Zion Herald. There is nc
dispuring. however. but that at one
point he greatly surpassed both John
Wesley and George Whitefield-he
had most happy welded life. 1t was
in the spring of 174s, when he was no
longer young. that he first began Sc
lously to entertain thoughts of mar.
riage.
Miss Sarah Gwynne, a girl of 90
daughter of pious family occupying
high position in Wales, attracted
him by her many lovable qualities.
Brother John heartily approved the

amount that would suffice. This was
finally guaranteed from the profits of
the books. and Saturday, April 8. 1749,
the wedding took place, John Wesley
tying the knot.
1t was an ideal Christian marriage
blessed with eight children, of whom
three grow up, and two became very
celebrated musicians. These two were
Charles Wesley, Jr.. and Samuel. Both
showed remarkable musical genius
from their earliest years.
Charles was a great favorite with
George ILL.,, his private organist occa-

created much excitement by his won

at the age Of two years and nine
months. He was called by one Of the
highest authorities of the day 'the
greatest genius in music | met with"
His death was in 1884.
Samuel (who died in 1887 leaving
numerous family was recognized as
the best organist of his day and was
Il gifted composer. At the age Of eight
he wrote an oratorio called Ruth
which was much admired. For sew
eral years he and his brother gave

Rev. DR.. Wesley. sub-dean of the
Chapel Royal. and also Samuel Sebas-

Good Humor and Cheerfuness from,

Cheerfulness is like sunlight 1t dis

Anything that interferes with good

A Norwich. Norfolk. Eng, black
smith named Robert Want was found
dead in bed at his house, few days
ago, having apparently committed sui
eide by means of a home made can
non. A loud report was heard one
morning. and neighbors who rushed
in found the bedroom filled with
smoke and noticed strong smell of
gunpowder Want lay dead in bed
with one side of the face blown away
At the foot of the bed was piece
of gaspiping, 1S inches long, which
had been made into a cannon. One
end had been welded up and touch
hole bored. Want must have filled the
tube with gunpowder. and as he lay
in bed held the weapon in one hand
while he put light to the touch-hoe
with the other. The recoil threw the
cannon out of his hand to the foot Of
the bed.
