A Few Honest Pointers
In Regard to Paint.

When you go into a store and ask
for paint don't be misled if the pro-
prietor or the clerk begins to sell you
paint by weight. Don't be fooled be-
cause the greatest weight does not
always mean the greatest value, for
instance, green and dark colored
paint do not carry as much white
lead, as white and light colored
paints, therefore, if your dealer
weighs up a gallon of his competi-
tors paint, say green or some dark
colored paint, surely it will not weigh
as much as a gallon of his white
paint. Then again there is a way of
making a gallon of paint weigh
heavy without much cost, but we
hope no dealer in Honesdale sells
this kind; paint that is adulterated
with Barytes, which costs about $40
per ton while pure white lead is
worth about $3.50 per ton, but the
Barytes has very little if any cover
ing capacity, although it is heavy and
very white. These are only a few
facts that everybody should know. If
you want an absolutely guaranteed
paint-a paint that one gallon will
cover 800 square feet, two coats
and a paint that will be cheap in the
long run, you will surely make no
mistake if you buy DEVOE. Erik

Mrs. Snowden is amazed at the

Everywhere I co. she said, the

the suffrage bills now before the New
York Senate and House. Perhaps it
is the general movement without re-
gard to these specific measures, but
everywhere I find the interest graft
fyingly intense"
"How does the movement and
methods here compare with those of
your country" I asked.
Economic Reform the Root.
Perhaps l had better tell of tho
conditions in my own country, and
then I will not appear in a false
light" she replied You see am

Economic reforms are at the bot
tom of the equal suffrage campaign
in England, as in America. We wish
TO give each person. an opportunity
to work peacefully at a living wage.
Already, through the agitation of the
equal suffragists, Parliament has
passed minimum wage law affect
ing four occupations, tailoring, lace
making, boxmaking and chainmak-
ing. These, however, are not the de-
nands of the suffragettes, but are
granted simply to ameliorate condi-

women for ballot rights"

The Militant in the Minority.
Mrs Snowden was apparently

"Thanks," she said. THAT is eX-
actly the fact. It is not the rank

At the beginning of the movement,
much good was accomplished by
what may be called the noisy cam

"That is true in England, also" she
answered. Then she thoughtfully
said: 1.-THE solid suffrage movement

the case of the mails, it was not the
government mails they We're destroy

go into the mail boxes. 1t was the

these latest acts is that they come

Should the women be given the

ishing revelations. Favorites of the
past are not. it is proved, relegateo
! to oblivion by the ocean of trash
poured out by the publishers presses
every day. OF some of the old idols
of novel readers it is impossible to
get too many copies. No writer of
the day can ever hope to attain the
popularity of Dumas. who perhaps
led all others of any time or country
in the number of his readers.
The spell of the man whose picture
of Villers-Coterets, his home, near
Paris, the best evidence of his imag-
NATIVE power, is still unrivalled.
Scott is read as much as ever, and
Dickens still has his devotees, but
the genius of Thaokeray is a more
potent magnet. The "Comedie HUI
MAINE" of Balsac, attracts the more
mature readers, but the French de-
tective class of fiction is more to the
taste of the young.
Even Anthony Trollope and Wilkie
Collins are still read after a genera
ton: nay, even Quits the master
piece of the Baroness Tautphoeus, is
placed conspicuously on the shelves
under Miss McVety's care, and its
card record shows that It is read.
Among books of the hour which will
soon sink into a deserved oblivion
those of Rex Beach are perhaps the
most sought.
One of the ideas of Miss McVety
is exemplitled by her lists of books;
some of these tell of the hundred best
books, some of the thousand best
books These lists are of notable as
sistance to the reader. Then there
are lists such as the West and
Northwest" including books which
are supposed to be illustrative of
those districts.
In a word. Newark may pride itself
upon possessing a public library
which would be credit to any city
in the country. The like Of 1t cannot
be found in many community rank
ing higher in number of population.
And it is to John Cotton Dana, the
indefatigable head of the institution,
that thanks must be accorded for its.
upbuilding and high efficiency. Ny
Danas progressive ideas of develop
ment are strikingly manifest in the
meteorological and other exhibits, adj
iuncts to the books, which are OF
high educational value.

coon NEWS FOR TIE U. c.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE u. c.
The ultimate consumer need not be
down-hearted. for while some COM
modities are going up others are
coming down. II was somewhat Of
a. poser when he was confronted by
the fact that there has been heavy
advance in the price of sugar, but
the glad news has just been an
nouneed in London that there has
been a sharp decrease in the price Of
radium, which is now only $4,000 a
gram, the lowest since it Was dis
covered by M. and Nine. Curie.
The ultimate consumer will be de-
lighted TO know that this great
health restorer and general all around
boon to mankind can now be secured
at such a trifing cost. A man can
plank down $4,000 and carry away a
whole gram of the substance where
formerly it would have cost him
more than 100000. A gram, by the
way. is nearly large enough to make
a shirtstud for flea.
The reduction in price will no doubt
cause great furry in the radium
market, which has been rather stag
nant for some time on account of its
prohibitive cost. Persons who have
felt up to this time as though they
could not afford a liberal supply Of
the precious substance will be or
dering it from the wholesale houses
and storing it up in the coal bin
down cellar. just as though it were
anthracite. In fact. it will probably
be only a short time until there will
be but a very little difference in the
price of radium and coal. The news
from England regarding radium is
very reassuring and will tend to sat
isfy the ultimate consumer that he
hes much to be thankful for.
