Letter to W. N, Bailey,

Dear Sir We make Devoe, and Of
course know what there is in it; but you
don't, your neighbors don't, and the
people don't. So we get the official
chemist of every State in the Union to
analyze it and tell what he finds; of
course, they find what we putin; lead
zinc and oil, little turpentine dryer,
and color for tints And that's paint
Every agent has the analysis Of Devoe
by his State chemist.
We also analyze all other paints, and
what do we find
We find eight made Of the same ma
terials as Devoe; all paint pure paint.
But we find no one of the same proper
tions as Devoe; no one SO strong.
The people are trying Devoe alongside
of these other paints, and 6nding-out
how they work; what il costs to paint
Devoe; what it costs to paint those
several paints; how they wear alongside
and comparatively.
There's no guess-work in any of these
results. A gallon Devoe goes further
than any other gallon in all paint; it
therefore saves both parts of first cost Of
job, of paint and labor. 1t makes the
best job of the lot, besides. 1t takes
years and experiences blythe thousand
to find that out. Yours truly
80 FW DEVOE & co

The Steamboat Whistle.

Have you ever wondered what
sounds travel the rurthest? If you
live in a great city you are constant
ly enveloped in such multitude of
noises that it is very seldom that any
particular one attracts the attention
unless 1t be unusually sharp or stri-
dent, and although piercing, such a
sound Is not likely to carry any great
distance. The higher notes are ex-
ceedingly penetrating for a short ra-
dius, and unquestionably more start
ling than the lower ones, but the lat
ter are much more far-reaching.
The ability of sound to carry de-
pends upon its vibrations, and any
one who has listened to the deep
notes Of pipe organ in church will
admit that he could almost feel the
air vibrate. But probably a steam
boat whistle, such as are common on
the Ohio and Mississippi packets, can
be heard as far as any sound that
may ordinarily be met with. The
deep resonance of its tones floating
steadily out into the air, seem to
stretch away indefinitely into space,
especially in the stiffness of a night
in the country. 1t is a sound that
cannot be mistaken for any other,
and when once its acquaintance has
been made you will never forget it.

minister Of Foreign Affairs
Two Thousand soldiers KILLED.

London, England. THE Standards
Constantinople correspondent esti-
mates that 1000 men were killed in
the fighting in the capital, and that
the losses were heaviest on the side
of the Constitutionalists, who did all
of the attacking and who offered good
targets in the open. During the con-
hicts, the mollahs and softas, fearing
the vengeance of the people every
where. sought refuge in the mosques,
where they were caught and many of
them were killed.
At the time of the surrender, the
correspondent adds, the Sultan had
with him besides the Grand Vizier
and the War Minister, two of the
nearest heirs to the throne, Mehem-
med Reschad Effendi and Yussof Il
zedine. whom he had detained as hos
tages. 1t is reported that about
eighty of the softas and mollahs who
took refuge in the mosques were
found to be armed when they were
captured, and were placed against
the nearest wall and shot.
A special dispatch says that few of
the inhabitants of Constantinople are
aware of how dangerous crisis was
passed through last week while the
town was in the hands of the mutin-
GUS soldiers 1t is stated that the
mutineers clamored for money and
threatened to attack and loot the Eu-
ropean quarter. In view of the ur-
gent need the Government succeeded
in borrowing $1,000,000 and was
able to pacify the men.
The city is animated, thousands
visiting the scenes of the fighting.
The Taxim and Tasch Kischia bar
racks were especial objects of inter-
est on account of the visible effects of
the bombardment. Many of the
guardhouses in the barracks still fly
the signals of surrender in the shape
of white towel or shirt, or rags
hung from the windows. The tram
way and cab traffic has been re-
sumed. Groups of the invaders, both
regulars and volunteers, are seen
everywhere, and the whole city pre-
sents martial appearance.
Communications by land and water
we're cut off to prevent the escape of
those compromised by recent events.
A house-to-house search was made,
and many arrests have been made.
Otherwise perfect tranquility and or
der prevail everywhere.

Cloisters Of Westminster Abbey.

When Parliament reassembles a
question will, am informed, be adj
dressed to the First Commissioner of
Works regarding the Chapel of the
Pyx in the dark cloisters of West
minister Abbey. This ancient vaulted
chamber, the opening of which to the
public has been often rumored in
recent years, was formerly the de-
posititory of the regalia of the Scot
tish kings Some time ago it was
thoroughly cleaned out and the cleo
tric light installed. In the lumber
removed were many of the old tally
sticks with which the national ac-
counts were at one time kept, the
immoderate burning of which in a
small stove led to the conf1agration
which consumed the houses of Parlia-
ment early in the last century.
Another apartment - mistakenly
called the Monks Cell-close to the
historic chapel has also been cleaned
