S&TMKF.P Miix. j s BHw# wtth Cement It Hiikm am Excel lent Paint. ; [Scientific American.] ' A use to which skim milk, sour milk, butter-milk, or even whole sweet ? milk is not often put 1h paint-making, jet this product of the dairy makes f possibly one of the most enduring, preservative, respectable end inexpensive paints for barne and outbuildings. It t oo&w little more than whitewash, pro- < vided no great value is attached to the milk, and it is a Question whether for ( all kinds of rough work it does not , serve all the purposes and more of the ; ready-mixed paint, or even Prime lead and paint mixed in the beBt linseed oil. ' It is made as follows, and no more should be mixed than is to be used that day: Stir into a gallon of milk about three pounds of Portland cemeht and add 1 sufficient Venetian red paitf powder (costing three cents per pound) to im- < part a good color. Any other colored paint powder may be as well used. The milk wiflhold the paint in susDen- 3 sion, but bnt the cement, being very heavy, will sink to the bottom, so that | it bccomes necessary to ksep tbe mixtare well stirred with a paddle. This feature of the stirring is the only drawback to the paint, and as its effl- < cienoy depends upon admistering a 1 good coating of cement, it is not safe to leave itsapplicotion to untrustworthy or careless help. Six hours after paint- j ing this paint will be as immovable and , unaffected by water as month-old oil paint. I have heard of buildings twenty years old painted in tbis man- 1 ner in which the wood was well pre- i served. My own experienoe dates back nine years( when I painted a small barn with tbis mixture, and tbe wood to-day?second growth Virginia yellow pine?buowb no siru wnaiever of decay or dry rot. The effect of such a coating seems to be to petrify the sur- , face of the wood. Whole milk is better than butter-milk or skim-milk, as it contains more oil, and this is the constituent which sets the cement, j If mixed with water instead of milk j the wash rubs and soaks off readily. This mixture, with a little extra of the cement from the bottom of the bucket i doubed on, makes the best possible , paint for trees where large limbs have been pruned or sawed off.

The movetbe ment for this canal has been advanced r fa- considerably by Senator Taliaferro, of ning Florida, who has introduced into Congress a bill to appropriate $25,000 for a preliminary survey of a feasible route for a canal that would accommodate the largest ocean-going steamships, bead say8 l^e Time.'-Union, .*a/t\t would "at nnft ntrnkfl enahlft th? creaf rigi- West to lay its crops down at tidefiDg water uP?n a ba^is that would do much to stengthen our hold upon the world and markets."

And, above all, It would so shorten the time betweeu our Atlantic and and Gulf ports as to give a lasting impetus to our foreign commerce. lD " Senator Taliaferro has now taken * in the initial step and placed tbe matter >n. before Congress. He proposes to follow JQBt it up tfith all his force and energy, qdI. and the entire South will turn to him d in in gratitude for his loyalty to its interests. "The success of the proposition Senator Taliaferro has laid before the Senate means much for Florida, but it land means more for the oonntry at large, j we It means that the mouth of the Mississippi will be practically an Atlantic bto? port.

When a boy applies for one of these places and is refused they may not tell him tbe reason why they do not want 3?or him but the boy can depend upon it that he's been rated according to his , behavior.
