Paint?

There are two good reasons for paint
ing often-enougn or even toO-often,
One. To look prosperous; two, to be so.
Nothing does one more credit or gives
one more credit than paint, supple
mented of course by what goes with it,;
and paint costs nothing
True, the first cost is 50 or Sc a gallon
put ON; but it saves more than that in
the property; saves it from slow going
down-not always slow-it drops with a
jump when water gets in on wood and
iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing, kept
dry by paint.
Better paint when it needs it. Paint
never goes down in the sense of being
more profitable next year.-adv.

The Brave at Home

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissem-
bles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry teardrop hangs and trembies.
Though heaven alone records the tear
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
AS eer bedewed the field of glory.
The wife who gtrds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder.
And bravely speaks the cheerb word,
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as eer
Was poured upon the field of battle!
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and
brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her.
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on freedoms ield of honor.

Mistakes In Use of Words.

If use can make authority in the en-
ployment Of words it is high time that
certain etymologically misused phrases
Of our English tongue should be adopt
ed into the family of orthodoxy. The
word necessity is habitually used as
the equivalent Of necessary" instead
of being its direct opposite. A man
says: II do not care for the luxuries of
life If have the necessities" when
probably he has the necessities" in
clamorous abundance. Quite as com
mon a blunder is the confusion be-
tween the words expect" and "sus-
pect." A man says: There Is knock
at the door. l expect that is the tax
collector" He should say, 81 have been
expecting the tax collector and suspect
that Is he."-Boston Transcript

LIGHTNING RODS.
Why They End In a Sharp Point and
Not In a Knob.


The reason a lightning rod has a
sharp point is because a fine point of
fers no resistance to the discharge of
electricity and in order that a cloud
may be emptied of it noiselessly and
harmlessly.
The degree of resistance is in proper
ton to the surface of the object. If
the rod We're surmounted by knob,
for instance, the discharge would be
violent. But many a lightning rod has
received an electrical discharge when
the people in the building below We're
calmly unconscious of the fact. Non
corrosive metal is used for the point of
the rod, as corrosiOn makes resistance
The difference between a point and a
ball is shown in discharging battery.
The full charge from a large battery
would be received quietly on a metal
point, while a moderate charge from d
small one would explode violently on a
ball
1t is said that full charge may be
passed harmlessly through a persons 5
body if received ON the point of nee
die, whereas the same charge received
on discharger with a ball or knob Oh
the end would mean instant death

Its Man. Remarkable Features That
Make 1t Famous.


StrassLnrg. the capital Of Alsace.
Lorraine, is remarkable for the great
clock OF Its cathedral
This clock, which is twenty feet in
height. was made by Jean Baptiste
Schwi;gue in 1912. Besides various
astronomical devices Indicating true
solar time, it has great planetarum
In which the revolutions of the planets
are represented. SO that the relative
Positions of each at any time can be
seen at a glance.
Then OH IL platform above are NOV
able figures representing the four ages
or man. AT the first quarter of an hour
a child strikes the bell with a rattle;
youth In the garb of Il hunter strikes it
with an arrow at the half hour; at the
third quarter a warrior strikes 1t with
his sword, and at the fourth quarter
an old man strikes it with his crutch.
Then figure of Death appears and
strikes the full hour with q fleshless
bone.
On the highest platform is a natural
sized figure of Christ, and when Death
strikes the hour at noon the twelve
apostles pass before the feet of their
master, bowing as they do so. AS Pc
ter passes large cock perched off on
one side flaps his wings. ruffles his
neck and gives three times a loud and
perfectly natural crow.-London Stand
