While there has been some expansion in

and kindred lines and business in agricul-
tural implements, seeds and fertilizers has
been large, the unsettlement caused by
price reductions in the iron, steel and other
metal markets, the weakness In securities
and the nearer approach of tariff revision
have all made a degree of uncertainty, not
so plainly visible for a long time past.
Weather conditions, too, have played a
part In arresting retail trade, country roads
are in bad shape, farmers deliveries are
affected despite attractive prices for grain.

FOR INSIDE PAINTING.

An experienced painter has given
the following directions for inside
painting:
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
unction 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 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 we're, 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.

TO WASH THE FACE.

This seems unnecessary informa-
ton, but / can assure you few peo-
pie know how to do it properly.
Use water as hot as you can stand,
together with generous lather Of
CASTLE soap. Rinse with tepid water;
last of all spray the face with cold
water. This cleans the pores of the
skin, while preventing them from
sagging. If your face Is very dusty,
first rub cold cream into the skin
and wipe off with a towel before be-
ginning the washing operation.
A pure white complexion powder
does not hurt any skin and aids in
keeping it clean. New Haven Regis
