FOR CENTENARY OF PEACE
Anglo American Fetes in Britain

London. Dec. 1T-British interest N
the movement for celebrating one hun

I'm the shape Of an important letter
from Earl Grey, president Of the Brit

TOM SAWYER DID NOT
KNOW

No one could tell Tom Sawyer how,
to get white washing applied to the
fence, but the art OF mixing white
wash has advanced long way since
his time. Whitewash is the cheap
est Of all paints. and for certain pur-
poses the best. Lime, which is the
basis Of whitewash. makes very SAN
itary coating, and is probably To be
preferred for cellars aud interiors Of
stables and other outbuildings.
For ordinary whitewash place 10
pounds qucklime IN pail and cover
over it TWO gallons Of water. Cover
the pail with piece Of cloth and al
low it TO stand for an hour. Then
dilute with sufficient water SO il will
work eaisly. This wash may be
strained TO remove sand aud Jumps
and then applied with a pump A
"bordeaux" nozzle is commonly used
for this purpose.
For interior use where whitewaSh
is needed that will not rub off, use
one bushel quicklime and Is gallon 5
water. Put the lime in barrel, pour
in the water and keep the barrel COW
cred while the lime is Stacking. Sir
it occasionally TO prevent scorchil z.
Beat APP II pounds rye flour In half
gallon water and then add two gallons
boiling water. Dissolve II pounds
common rock salt in p gallons hot
water ana mix with the rye -four, then
pour this into the whitewash and
stir IL well. This whitewash is used
in large factories aud is recommended
by insurance companies.
For outside use on buildings, fences
etc., slack one bushel lime In a barrel
with II gallons hot water. Dissolve
two pounds salt and one pound sui
plate Of zinc in two gallons boiling
water aud add to the wnitewash. AL
so add two gallons skim milk and mix
thoroughly.
A formula used by lighthouses is
made by Stacking buslel of lime
with II gallons water, then adding &c
IL II pounds rock salt dissolved In SIX
gallons boiling water and finally mix

Ii an ounce OF alum is added TO the
gallon whitewash it will prevent

same purpose. but needs su!pha,e OF
zinc as preservative. A pound OF

While the great moneyed and in
dustrial combinations of the present
day, known as trusts" are quite mod
ern affairs, 1t Is true that the trust
idea is almost as old as history. Unr
der the Roman Empire, and even
away back among the peoples Of
Egypt and the other eastern nations,
We find the germs, at least, Of the
modern trust. The fundamental idea
at the bottom of the doctrine Of the
present day trust is that of the ex-
ploitation Of the many by the few, and
1t was against such an idea that the
Gracchi died in Rome. In fact, all an
cient history Is little more than the
story Of the few combining for power
and wealth against the many, and
that Is all that the trust of today
means.

He said so to Mrs. Jones many times,
but she only smiled in provoking
way.
One bitter cold January morning he
changed his mind. Everything out
doors had coating of ice. The path
leading from the barn to the house
was smooth as glass and slanted
treacherously on either hand. On one
side of 1t was an old cellar, where the
house had once stood. Jones was CON-
ing from the barn, after doing the
morning chores, with pail of milk
in each hand. He was just opposite
the cellar when-Zzzt!--out flew his
feet and down he went on his back.
The next instant he had slid in
shower of milk over the edge Of the
cellar hole, and landed on the bottom
with thump that fairly took away

feet. After making reasonably sure
that none of his bones were broken,
he climbed out and went limping into
the house to tell his wife.
