Levi p. Morton, whose thousand

splendid show places on the banks OF
the Hudson, was one of the first Of
Americas wealthy men to incorpo-

FOR INSIDE PAINTING.

An experienced painter has given
the following directions for inside
painting: y
The first thing is to have the room
free from dust; the next essential
thing is to kill the knots of the wood.
When the work is knotted, proceed to
prime it, which must be made to dry
exceedingly hard, in order to stop the
JUNCTION of the wood, otherwise the
second coat will, by the operation of
the brush, rub off the printing in diff.
ferent parts of the work, and there
will be no uniformity in the finishing
coat, but it will leave some parts dead
and others of a shining surface. The
middle coat may be of size, color ap-
piled warm. Use but little color in
your size or it will scale. To prepare
printing, mix or grind red and white
lead with linseed oil; then, for the
dryers, take little litharge and burnt
white vitriol or patent dryers, which
must be ground on slab very fine in
turpentine Mix them all together
and thin with boiled oil. The burnt
vitriol and litharge act, as it were, in
opposition to each other, and render
the paint exceedingly drying, and the
turpentine with the boiled oil pre-
vents the color running. When the
printing is dry, fill up the nail holes
and crevices with putty. Rub the
surface of the work smooth with glass
paper and dust it well.-Boston Post.

Potato.Growing in Maine

Aroostook County is the great po-
tato section of Maine, and one of the
largest potato fields in the whole
country. There are, we believe, but
four or five counties in the United
States which surpass the county of
Aroostook in the total area Of pota-
toes planted, in the extent of the
bushels planted, in the extent of the
bushels harvested and in the value
of the crop. Other counties in Maine
are also taking high rank in potato
growing, and to the list of special po-
tato sections may be added large por-
lions of Washington, Penobscot and
Piscataquis counties, while many
towns in the Kennebec Valley and in
the older central counties are giving
special attention to potato culture,
especially the towns of Vassalboro.
Brunswick, Topham; many towns in
western Somerset and Cumberland

WISE WORDS.

No man knows anything about the
divine friendship who does not e2-
hibit human friendliness.
The noblest work often lies nearest,
Only putty life is afraid of being
worn out.
The battle of without goes as goes
the battle within.
Duty has a stern face only wheD
viewed askance.
You cannot become one of the tools
of the infinite If you flee from his an
vii.
No advantage is smaller than that
gained by taking advantage of a
friend.
The man who always does what he
wants is rarely wanted for what he
does.
The best evidence of loyalty to
truth is liberality enough to give all
truth chance.
Some are interested deeply in
cross-bearing, but only as long as
some one else is doing it.
Some folks think they are resting
In their faith because they always fall
asleep in church.
1t Is not strange that men lose the
faculty of reverence when they do all
their worshiping before mirror

Torturing Humor - Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering
In Despair: Cured by Cuticura.
Words cannot describe the terrible &C.
zema l suffered with. 1t broke out on my
head and kept spreading until it covered
my whole body. | was almost solid mass
of sores from head to foot. | looked more
like piece of raw beef than human being.
The pain and agony I endured seemed more
than l could bear. Blood and pus oozed
from the great sore on my scalp, from I'M
der my finger nails, and nearly all over my
body. My ears were so crllsted and swollen
| was afraid they would break off. Every
hair in my head fell out. I could not sit
down, for my clothes would stick to the
raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out
from the pain. My family doctor did all
he could, but ! got worse and worse My
condition was awful. I did not think I
could live, and wanted death to come and
end my frightful sufferings.
"1n this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Remedies.
l said l would, but had no hope of recov-
cry. But oh, what blessed relief expert
enced after applying Cuticura Ointment Il
cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and
brought me the first real sleep I had had in
weeks. 1t was as grateful as ice to burn
ing tongue. 1 would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply the
Ointment freely. l also took Cuticrra Re-
solvent for the blood. In short time the
sores stopped running, the flesh began to
heal. and 1 knew [ was to get well again.
Then the hair on my head began to grow,
and in short time I was completely cured

Why Their Silverware Lasts,

The Dutch, when they invite you,
and they are not guest-seeking race,
are extremely hospitable. Some
times, however, when it comes to
dinner, their active hospitality de-
mands an energetic recognition. The
table is laid with piles of plates be-
fore each chair. On your first visit
the spoons and forks are heavy silver,
the knives of the finest steel and
ivory. You never, however, eat with
them again. When you have been
shown that family possesses them,
that ends it. You eat thereafter from
everyday ware.
What would the silver be like
for our descendants if we used it
often?' an old lady asked me. What
would we have if our ancestors had
been careless ?"-Harper's Bazaar.

THE SMALL WOMAN.

No matter how small she is, a wo-
man may always have good figure.
If she has not one to begin with,
she should economic in some other
part of her wardrobe, and call in the
services of a good corsetiere.
If she cannot be impressive, she
can at least be neat and good to look
at
Use only straight UP and down
lines in the development of your gar
ments.
Whatever you do, allow nothing
which cuts the figure, horizontally.
The princess model, which is sc
much a part of the present mode
should be cause of rejoicing among
small women.
Do not wear shirt waists and skirts
of contrasting materials.
This cuts the figure in half, and
lessons greatly the effect of height.
Dispense with belts if possible, and
If not, make them as narrow as pos
sible; and always of the same ma
terial as the frock.
Coats may be almost any length
but that most usual of all, the three
quarter. This is usually fatal.
Straight coat seams may be
trimmed, but never the lower edge
A trimming there would cut the
figure in two-Philadelph Bulle

Gems From Ruskin.

To know anything about God you
must begin by being just.
See that no day passes in which
you do not make yourself a some
what better creature; and in order
to do that find out, first, what you
are now.
The weakest among us has a gift
however seemingly trivial, which is
peculiar to him, and which, worthily
used, will be a gift also to his race
forever
Violate truth wilfully, in the
slightest particular, or at least, get
into the habit of violating it, and
all kinds of failure and error will
surround and haunt you to your full.
We should be afraid of doing
wrong, and of that only, otherwise,
if we only don't do wrong for fear of
being punished, we have done wrong
in our hearts already
The best prayer at the beginning
of day is that we may not lose it's

BAD DREAMS
Caused by Coffee.

Il have been a coffee drinker, more
or less, ever since | can remember,
until few months ago l became
more and more nervous and irritable,
and finally | could not sleep at night,
for | was horribly disturbed by
dreams of all sorts and a species of
distressing nightmare.
FINALLY, after hearing the exper-
fence of numbers of friends who had
quit coffee and were drinking Pos
tum, and learning of the great ben
efits they had derived, | concluded
coffee must be the cause of my trou-
BILE, SO l got some Postum and had it
made strictly according to directions.
Il was astonished at the favour
and taste. 1t entirely took the place
of coffee, and to my very great salts
faction | began to sleep peacefully
and sweetly. Ny nerves improved,
and l wish l could wean every man,
woman and child from the unwhole-
some drug-ordinary coffee
"People really do not appreciate or
realize what powerful drug it is and
what terrible effect it has on the hui
man system. If they did, hardly a
pound of it would be sold. | would

again. | would almost as soon think
of putting my hand in fire after
had once been burned.

stomach trouble for a long time, and

used coffee. She finally quit coffee

now perfectly well. Yours for

SCENTED PILLOWS.

Take your choice of pine or laven-
der.
You will need one, of your very
own, to slip into your trunk for the
summer trip, or to use on the porch
hammock or couch.
When made for the bed, they are
incased in strong muslin covers.
Over this is drawn pretty little
white slip, of the sort used to cover
baby pillows.
For couches and out of doors,
more serviceable materials are used.
For pine pillows, cover of natur-
al colored linen, embroidered per-
haps in wood brown, is very pretty.
Grass green linen is also suitable
for the purpose, and cool looking.
The lavender pillow should be in
cased in lavender, embroidered in a
lighter shade, or one of the pretty
white cretonnes, covered with sprigs
of lavender.
The pillows are not only pleasant
to have, but they frequently are an
actual aid in producing refreshing
sleep, since certain odors are known
to have a soothing effect.-Philadel-

THE worst trouble about life
preserver," said an old sailor on the
steamer L. G. Hanna not long ago,
lis that few people know what to do
with one when it's thrown to them.
Many a man would drown in trying
to get a life-preserver over his head.
The average person struggling about
in the water would try to lift up the
big ring and put it over his head,
That only causes the man to sink
deeper and take more water into his
lungs.
The proper way to approach a
life-preserver in the water is to take
hold at the side nearest you and press
upon it with all your weight. That
causes the farther side to fly up in
the air and down over your head,
ringing you as a neatly as a man
