It's easy enoug;h to recognize the sy mp '.-.omi! of poor paint, after it has been on awhile-after its inherent tendency to crack and peel and scale and Mister, etc., has developed into trouble. know these paint "dis eases" usually indicate adulteration or substitution In the paint materials. And you know the only remedy is re painting. A little knowledge of paint and painting requirements, and how to make sure of the purity, and quality of materials, would prevent all trou ble, aid save the big ex tra. expense of re-painting; just as a proper knowl edge of simple health-laws, and ob servance of them, prevents sickness.

The good man was good, and was not elated, for he owed all to the grace of God. The evil ?man was evil, and took no shame, for it was ordained- that he should do evil. They walked along side by^ side the desert track, while the sun blazed down upon them, and their feet sank into the heavy sand. Some days they walked, toiling all day in sand and resting at night on .the ground. Food ran low, and waterj for each carried his own store. The good man's bottle failed first, and he was faint and thirsty,- and the desert stretched dry before them. "I can go no farther," said the good man; "give me a drink from your bottle, lest I die in the drifting sand." "Why should I do good?" the evil man re plied. "I will give you no water to drink." The good man struggled on, and, fainting, appealed. again for water. "I will not give you water without price. Let me pluck out one eye of yours, and I will give you one cup of water." The good man sank down 'in the sand and vainly strug gled to rise. ''If I lose one eye," he said, "1 shall still be able to see the bright world and see the faces that I love." So the evil man plucked out one eye and flung it on the ground, and then gave him a cup of water. The good man rose refreshed, and they continued their .journey to gether. Again they slept in the sandy desert and struggled on next day, but the sand still stretched before them and the way was long. The good man felt the heat again and cried out for water, but the evil man refused. The good man fainted, and appealed again. "Shall not the evil man do evil? Give me your other eye and ? will give you another drink." The good man said to himself, "It ls bet ter to be blind than to die, for life is sweet, and I shall still hear the voices of my friends." So the evil man plucked out the other eye, and then gave him another drink. Then the two went on together, the good mah and the evil man, .hand in hand. As the evening fell, lights of a town ap^ pear ed ahead, but the good man did not see them. The evil man led him along till he came to, a deep, dry well on the edge of the desert. "Stop here, friend," he said, and thrust him In and saw him fall. "Shall not the evil man do evil?" he said, and laughed as he went towards the city. There he found food and refreshed himself and went upon his way. But the good man lay in the well, bruised and hurt and blind. As he lay there, night fell and lt grew dark, though It was now always night to him, save in his heart, where the sun still shone. He heard the pad of wild beasts walking round the well, and soon he heard their voices and knew that he could understand what they said. A lion and a jackal and a wolf gathered round the well. Said the others to the lion, "How do you keep so fat and sleek, though game is scarce in the land?" "Game is scarce," the lion replied, "and I must go far to kill, yet there is a place in the desert, a withered oak tree near a stone; beneath are burled the treasures of seven kings. When I am hungry I lie there, and the thought of the riches below fills me with fulness. "But when the "lion hungers the Jackal hungers; how do you keep so well, j?ckal?" "I, too, have a secret," said the jackal. "West of the city, In the grove, is a white flowering plant. The very s.ight of the leaves gives comfort to the hungry, and it has virtues to cure lepers. There I lie and am happy. But. the wolf has a secret, too." "Yes," replied the wolf, "I, too, have a secret. In this well grows a fern which gives sight to the blind and strength to the weak. I am here now to smell it and to get strength." The good man lay below and lis tened, and knew that God had heard him. He lay till dawn broke and the" animals stole away. Then he arose and felt with his hands, and found the fern, and, breaking off some branches, rubbed them on his face and smelt them; and at the touch sight came again to him, and the smell brought healing to his wounded body. He saw the sun again, and felt his strength return, and gave thanks to God. Slowly he clambered up the ruined well till he stood on the bank above, and saw the world again, and the city amidst green palms and glistening springs, brightening in the morning. He went on alone to the city, and as he reached the gate he saw a proclamation and heard a herald who beat upon a drum and cried aloud to all who heard. He cried that the king's daughter, who was "his only child, was ill of a leprosy, and that he who cured her should have her to wife and the half of his kingdom. The people listened and cried with grief and beat their brests, for they loved their king and knew that bis daughter was as beautiful as the day. The good man was filled -with pity for the grief of the king and for the whole people, and for the daughter whom men said was so beautiful. Swiftly he hurried away west of the city and searched the grove for the white flowering plant of which the jackal had spoken. He found the ND THE REEDY BASSOON .der the .somnolent measures ad "the reedy" bassoon! rs and listen forever ige ?fcd ^enchanting soft-tyne. ' .

OJ TALE, plant and joyfully brought it back, and running to the palace, cried to be brought to the king's daughter, for he could cure her disease. They brought him In, and he laid the plant upon her and she saw it, and lt brought peace to her trouble, and she was made whole and was in very truth as trautiful as, the day. Then the king m lered and the drums were beaten ar he guns fired, and procla mation c i that tho good man had cured the ucess and that he should marly he ones. So the king gave him his ghter in marriage, and there wai sat joy and feasting, and the king ? .ve him the half of his kingdom to rule over and all were happy. Weeks passed and the king re joiced in.hls son-in-law, and the peo ple in their, ruler, and most of all the king's daughter in her husband. One day it chanced that the good man rode' in tho streets with many fol lowers and. horses and elephants, when he -saw the evil man clad in rags passing through the street. He stopped his. train, and, dismounting, ran to the evil man and embraced him and kissed him. He threw a robe upon him and set him upon an ele phant and brought him to his own palace. Here he entertained him and nfade much of him and praised him, saying that he owed all his good for tune to him. The evil man's heart was filled with jealousy. He went before the king and spoke to him, saying, "Do you know what sort of man you have for a Bon-injlaw, you who are so proud? I have known him from a child, and he ls the son of a scavenger, one of the very pariahs whose touch is pol lution." The king rose in fury and cast his son-in-law into prison, and the evil man laughed and went his way. When the king's daughter begged her husband's life, and he was dragged before the king for judg ment, the good man said: "Have 1 done evil to you or good that you should believe evil of me? I am no pariah; but I come of royal blood. I was poor and outcast, but I count my fathers for a thousand years, and am the child of the sun and the moon even as you are yourself, and as I told you before. Thus shall you know thatl^am no mean man, give me camels'and I will go fetch my treas ure'.''" The king gave him camels and men, and he went and dug beneath the,withered oak tree near a stone of which the Hon had spoken. There he found the treasure of seven kings, gold and silver and Jewels without number. He loaded up the camels, and sent for more and more again, andsyet again.-.tlll the city was filled with wonder, aDd the king's treasure louses overflowed. The king believed his word and knew that he was no pariah's son, and took him back to his palace and begged his forgiveness, rhe good man now ruled the kingdom and did justice, and all men loved him. Again, it chanced that he rode in the city, and the evil man came by,' returned to see the effects of his evil. Again, lie good man ran to him and kissed him, and brought him to his palace, and treated him with honor, naming him the source of all his good fortune. Shall not the good do good, and the evil do evil, for so God has appointed, and who shall gainsay? The evil'man. full of wonder, asked him how all had befallen him, and the good man told him all from the beginning, and hid nothing from him. The heart of the evil man was filled with jealousy and evil, and he took counsel how he could destroy his benefactor. So he went to the dry well bu the edge bf the desert, and climbed down, hoping to hear the animals ' talk and to learn new se crets. When night fell the animals came back-the lion, the jackal, and the wolf. Said the lion: "My treas ure is gone, and I go hungry. Who has robbed me?" "My flowering plant has gone," replied the jackal; "someone has done this thing, some Presidential George Washington, the first Presided over these United S John Adams next attained t And after him great Thomas Succeeding him James Madis And James Monroe, with fev John Qu inc v Adams next .coi And then old Andrew Jacksc After eight years, Van Burer Then Harrison, who lived bu John Tyler filled the unexpii And then came James K.

" The wolf looked down and cried, "My fern is gone, and here is .the man who took it." With a bound the lion leaped into the w?ll upon the evil man and tore him limb from limb, for so it had I been appointed from the beginning that he should perish. Thus died the evil man, full of evil, but the good man reigned in the palace, and did good and loved justice. Strong sons' were born to him and fair daughters, so he lived in happiness and honor, and died in the fulness of time, as God had appointed to him his place, -Detroit News-Tribune. lr A new stop watch has been brought' out for use of physicians and nurses In counting pulse beats.

The magnetic needle comes to rest pointing north and south because the earth acts as if it were a great mag net. A compass needle would come to rest pointing lengthwise of a bar magnet placed under the compass needle, just as it does under the in fluence of the earth. For this reason we think of the earth as a great mag net. The North Pole and the North Star have no influence over the com? pass needle. The cost of coal for steam locomo tives is approximately fifteen per cent, of the total operating expenses for steam railroads, and is the largest of the expenses for materials, says the Electric Railway Review. Data contained in the annual reports of a number of the larger systems indi cate that the annual coal consump tion is, on the average, about 2500 tons for each steam locomotive. From the United States census report on "Street and Electric Railways," cov ering 799 operating companies, the cost of fuel for power for electric railways appears td be about $15, 000,000, which ls a little over 10.5 per cent, of the total operating ex? penses. THE POLITE PEONS. And the Engineer Who Knew Little Spanish Tried to Boss Them. An engineer who came up a while ago from Mexico told a story about a man in his line who had a rather limited knowledge of Spanish but fancied that by combining what he . knew and some English he could t make the peons employed on the rail- i way understand. } In his vocabulary were these words: Para, stop; ustedes hombres, you men; piedras, stones, and via, road. One day this engineer was walking up the track and saw a lot of peons standing around doing noth ing. So he stopped and said: "Ustedes hombres, why are you standing around idle? Take those piedras and throw them into the mid dle of the via." The always polite Mexicans smiled and said "Si, senor," and the engi neer marched away.' Then they de bated what he meant and decided he wanted the stones thrown on the oth er side of the track. They started to do that and back came the engineer. "Para, ustedes hombres, para! Didn't ustedes hombres hear what I said? Didn't I tell ustedes hombres to take those piedras and throw them in the middle of the via? And why don't you do what I said?" And he marched away, as the peons Bald suavely, "Si, senor." They had another consultation and decided that what he wanted was to have the piedras thrown clear across the track in the other direction. So they began again, tossing the stones back again. The engineer came rush ing back, shouting: "Para, para! What is the matter with ustedes hombres? Do ustedes hombres take me for a fool?" He paused, and believing that he had come to the end of his speech the peons bowed gravely and said: "Si, senor."-New York Sun. .V^ ~_-a"Sk0 Mnemonics. among bis mates, ?tates. his lofty fame, Jefferson came, on arose, 7, if any, foes, i troll ed the reins, in showed his brains, i took his place; t a brief space, .ed time, lk, just ui his prime, to the fore, his life was o'er.

Modern Methode, 1 Farmer, Fruit Gre A Hack For Large Knives. 'A handy device for holding butcher knives is made as follows: Saw slanting notches about half way through an inch strip two and one half Inches wide and nine Inches long. Nail this securely to the left edge of a smooth inch board nine inches long and seven or eight inches wide. Slip the blades of the knives ia the notches, and drive nails in the right side of the board, on which to rest the handles. A board nine inches long will hold four knives, and they hold edge better than when kept in a drawer. The rack should be fastened to the wall somewhere near the kitch en table. A Cold Frame. This illustration shows a cold frame, made by a woman whose only tools were a saw and a hammer, and who happened to have a 'left-over" window sash. The frame measured eighteen inches at the back, and sloped down to ten inches in front An excavation waa dug, and the frame placed therein; the front two or three inches above the soil and the back about ten inches. At each corner, inside, was driven a stout stake, which materially served to keep the frame from sagging in any way. A well drained spot was chosen on the south side of a high fence and the earth banked up around the frame, making a ditch tc? carry off the sur face water. Later, when cold nights came, an old doo:.* was put on the glass sash, and a piece of carpet thrown over all. In this frame thrived sixteen California violets, that almost bloomed themselves to death. Violets are easy to winter in such a frame, if a little care is given to watering when necessary, airing In sunny weather and covering up sung ly when it is cold. Beside violets, any half hardy flower will do nicely, and many of them bloom. The ever popular geranium, stock, petunia, primrose, pansy, forget-me-not, mig nonette, sweet scented snap dragon, daisy, etc. Do not forget a pot of parsley and one of chives. Avoid all extremes; the warm sunshine on the glass will scorch the leaves, and fre quently do more damage than the cold night which caught the sash raised. See that the cold frame is put near the house, where it will be easy to get at, and not "out of sight and out of mind." A pit may be dug several feet deep, boarded or bricked up, covered with sashes, and will be a permanent winter garden. In the pit half hardy shrubs, which grow too tall for tha cold frame, such as azaleas, orange and lemon trees, oleanders, hibiscus, roses, fushias, heliotrope and kindred plants may be wintered. The same precaution in regard to sun, air, wat er, etc., as the frame requires, is necessary for the pit. The plants are usually bedded out in the frames, but grow in pots in the pit^-Modem Farming. Economy of Alfalfa. Experiments made by the Tennes see agricultural experiment station in regard to the replacing of grain with alfalfa in rations for dairy cows indicated that one and a half pounds of alfalfa will replace one pound of wheat bran. Tt e tests showed that with alfalfa hay at $10 a ton and wheat bran at $20 the saving effected by substituting alfalfa for wheat bran ls $2.80 for every hundred pounds of butter and nearly twenty cents for. every hundred pounds of milk.-J.

The products ot cotton seed are be ing applied in many useful ways, and the demand seems to be on the in crease. The Little Bock Democrat makes this observation: "Arkansas cotton seed products arel this year keeping live stock of Kan sas and will guarantee the sugar planters of Louisiana good crops. The demand for cotton seed cake and meal from these two States this year has put the price up, and cotton oil men of this section are holding on to all they have not sold on contract, for they anticipate a healthy rise in the meal between now and time fo^. planting In t: e spring. The high price of grain iln Kansas -has-forced the farmers th-are- to turn to some thing cheaper, and they are buying largely of cracked cake, the cotton meal cake broken into lumps the size of a walnut. In Louisiana the meal is taken, no matter what the condi tion of it may be, so long as it has the properties . of rejuvenating the soiL This gives the oil mills a chance-to work.up all .their overheated seed and dispose bf the product for fertilizer. "Large contractors in this State are not using the meal, depending on oats and molasses of a poor quality poured over moss or coarse hay, to keep.their mules in condition." A Good Exchange.

"T> One of the most fragrant* and pret ty of the summer flowering shrubs is the spicy Clethra ainitolia, or sweet, pepperbush, which is found , in wet copses near the coast "from Main? to Virginia and soijthward." It i blooms in profusion through July and August, covering the tops of the bushes till they are white with the upright terminal racemes of little white flowers. The racemes are from three to five inches long, the lower buds opening first, and the plant re mains in bloom for several weeks. ; Each flower has five petals and there are ten little stamens in each that extend beyond the other parts bf the flower, giving the racemes a feathery appearance. s The odor hasa pleasant spicy flavor that fills the air with fragrance for several rods around the copses where it grows, but when taken into the house it does not give off that heavy, stifling odor that makes the tuberose and magnolia offensive to many. Clethra is naturally a wet-ground plant, but it will grow and thrive 1B 7/ ICCETHK?i flTOLTft dry situations and takes kindly to cultivation. The bushes grow from three to ten feet high and often usurp abandoned fields-one such I 'know, . an old huckleberry field, that ls now; filled with rows and clumps of snowy white-topped bushes, a mass of frag rance and beauty.
