SKIM MILK PAINT.
A Cheap, Quick Drying Coating That

The following formula for making
skimmilk paint will be Of interest to
all who desire a cheap paint that will
wear we'll:
Stir into a gallon of skimmilk three
pounds of portland cement, adding at
the same time any paint in dry form
that will give the color you desire. The
milk will hold the paint il suspension.
but the cement, being heavy. will sink;
therefore it will be necessary to keep
the mixture we'll stirred with a pad
die. Mix only enough at a time for
one days use. If the mixture is not
thoroughly stirred as you use it, it will
get thicker and thicker and it will be
necessary to thin it by adding more
milk. Six hours after applying this
paint it will be dry. 1t is not affected
by weather.
Carbolic acid or any other disinfect-
ant can be added. thus making it very
effective for use in poultry houses and
the stable. 1t makes an excellent
paint for fences when colorcd drab by
the addition of a little l%ampblack or a
dull green by adding ocher and a small
quantity of prussian blue.-E. B. Rex

Earl Of Warwick, a Heroic Figure In
English History.

The Ear! of Warwick. commonly
called the 'kingmAkcr." from the fac
ulty with which he created and de-
posed monarchs during the contest
between the house of York ana Ian
caster, lived in style OF magniiiconce
and hospitality of which no period per-

than :1.Utt persons are said to have
lived at his board in the different
manors and castles which he pos
sessed, and the military, ailured by his
hospitality as we'll as his bravery. were
strongly attached to his interests. This
distinguished warrior fell at the bat
tie of Barnet in hi. when. owing to
the mistake OF one part of his army
falling upon the other during a fog, he
was defeated by Edward ".
In former battles Warwick had al
ways fought on horseback, that he
might at once ride along the line and
perceive the particulars of the action,
but on this occasion he determined to
fight on foot, that his soldiers might
see that he was resolved to share with
them the dangers of the day. After
having eXerted himself as an officer
and a hero in fruitless attempts to turn
the tide of fortune in his favor he
rushed into the hottest part of the bat
tie and fell covered With wounds. His
brother, Montacute, in endeavoring to
save him met 4 similar fate.

Weather Forecasts

The first attempt at scientific fore
casting of the weather was the result
of a storm which during the Crilnean
war, Nov. II, 1851, almost destroyed
the fleets OF France and England. AS
a storm had ragged several days earlier
in France, Valiant, the French min
lister Of war. directed that invcstiga-
tons be made to see if the two storms
were the same and if the progress of
the disturbances could have been fore
told. 1t was demonstrated that the
two were in reality one storm and that
its path could have been ascertained
and the feet forcwarned in ample time
to reach safety.

Cover For Medicine Glass.

A pretty Christmas trihe utilizing
scraps of fine white linen is q cover
for a glass Of milk or one containing
medicine that has perhaps to stand
some time. First a square Of glass is
cut the required size, then two pieces
of linen a little larger than the glass,
on one Of which is embroidered a
spray Of small flowers or two or three
single larger blossoms, as pansies, &C
cording to fancy. The two pieces are
sewed together and bound with rib
bon matching the embroidery, and into
this case the glass square is slipped.
This little device would as a gift bring
much pleasure TO a sick child or ever
adult.
Equally acceptable, too, will it be to
those taking the milk diet.

easily around the collar Of the waist

make the protector too heavy for deli
