You have noticed
that some houses always seem to need
repaintine : they look dingy, rusted,
faded. Others always look bright,
clean, fresh. The owner of the first
economizes " with "cheap " mixed
paints, etc; the second paints with
Strictly Pure
White Lead
The first spends three times as much
for paint in fire years, and his build
ings never look as well.
Almost everybody knows that good
paint can only be had by using strictly
Sure White Lead. The difficulty is
ick of care in selecting it. The fol
lowing brands are strictly pure White
Lead, "Old Dutch" process; they are
standard and well known established
by the test of years :
"Southern" "Red Seal"
"Collier"
For any color (other than white) tint
the Strictly Pure White Lead with
National Lead Company's Pure White
Lead Tinting Colors, and you will have
the best paint that it is possible to put

HYPNOTISM.
A fcatjK-t ! Itrmoa.lrat Ino, l'7o
That Thr 1 Naih ( la It.
The subject who came to me had
been a shining light in the profes
sion, and I have reason to know that
he was exceptionally gifted. He had
performed to crowded houses under
several great artists at the Aquarium
and elsewhere in London and the
provinces. He had figured at select
seances of scientific hypnotists. He
had been privately operated cn by
medical men anxiously seeking after
truth. And. by his own statement
be bad humbugged them alL
What proof had I, then, that he
was not humbugging me1 Ample
proof. He offered, in the first place,
to do under my direction everything
which he hai done in public and
private seances when under supposed
hypnotic control. I contemplated,
n thu first instance, accepting this
offer and giving a demonstration to
a belect circle, and it wan solely
owing to myself that this was not done.
As a preliminary I asked him to
exhibit a few of his powers for my
private edification. He compiled
without hesitation. He first of all
parsed himself into the "cataleptic"
state and lay on the floor rigid. Two
members of my staff took him in this
condition and laid him across the
backs of two chairs, the back of his
bead resting on one and his heels on
the other. He remained so for sev
eral minutes. On a pass being made
over him with the hand , his body
arched upward or downward,
.. Two fairly robust individuals next
sat on his body and the ''cataleptic"
supported them without a sign of in
convenience. He then himself thrust
a needle into his arm and through
the lobe of bis ear to prove that he
was insensible to pain while in the
cataleptlo state. Next ha showed
how one side of his face could be
drawn by the toothache (suggested
by tbe operator), while the other side
was distended in a broad grin.
Again, at the suggestion of the
operator, the grin and tho toothache
changed sides, and so on.
He offered to swallow an ounce of
cayenne pepper in a glass of water,
but unfortunately I had, no cayenne
pepper at hand, I asked him whether
be could take a wine glass full of
ipecacuanha and he professed a read
iness to do it at once. The cayenne
pepper I could partly understand ; it
would be a mere question of stand
ing a certain amount of pain. But I
asked him bow he managed to con
trol the effect of the ' ipecacuanha.
We only do it for a time," he said.
"You can learn to do it with prac
tice, like the rest of the tricks. Hut
we always bring the stuff up after
the performance. "
He also expressed his readiness to
drink oil.' Among novel tricks which
he offered to , perform was that of
slowing the pulse while under hyp
notic influence. ' Of this he claimed
to ,bo tho original inventor. I asked
him' whether the subjects were equal
Impersonators. All. he said. He
knew them all personally and would
answer for them. He lidiculed the
mere suggestion that there could be
anything genuine in hypnotism,
whether in Paris, London or any
where else; but here he may have
spoken beyond his knowledge.
IT WAS THE FIRST DEATH.
The Little One Died, But There
Were
Rnse for Mis Tiny Co ma.
When the father left home in the
morning to go to business his wife
and the children were all well.
When he returned late at night he
found white crape on the door.
Tha little body lay in the front
room, white and motionless, but with
a peaceful expression on its face that
was almost a smile. The house was
quiet,' only one making any noise,
and he, young and innocent, ex
plained that "Kobbte was 'sleep."
There are times when pain and
grief do not evidence themselves. In
sptte of a calm exterior there
may be a heartache far more in
tense than that in those whose
eyes are bathed in tears.
Such was the father's condition.
It was the first death. It came un
heralded. The shock was intense.
His heart ached for the mother. Yet
there was something besides this
that increased the pain. Ilo had
not always boon patient. There had
been times when he had spoken cross
to the little one that had gone. The
hasty words all came back and it
seemed he would give almost any
thing if they could be recalled.
The father was going to the city,
and on the way to the station he was
to stop and buy flowers. He asked a
boy of tbe neighborhood to go with
bim and bring back the srallax and
violets and rose, lie was qvlet and
his eyes were dry. yet his mouth was
set in a determined wsy.
The boy was not prepossessing.
He was not tidy snd he was cross
eyed. .
The boy sidled up to the father
and tald:
Mr. , I want to buy some
flowers, too. I hain't got much, but
I sold mv roller skates to Jimmy
Reed and I'm goln' to get some rosea"
Then he went down into his pocket
and one by one produced thirteen
cents. Turning to some Jack roees
that were worth f? a doien he said
to the clerk:
Give me thirteen cents' worth ef
them. The clerk start od to say
something, but didn't and he put up
four of the rote Then the father's
lace lost It forced composure. Ill
mouth related and hU eye remained
no longer dry.

At a recent barbecue in Southwest
Georgia ven strange and hungry-
looking men were seen huddled to
gether in a corner of the woods re
mote from the big crowd.
But now and then, while the "car
casses" were roasting in the pita, one
of the men would come forward, get
a whiff of the savory meat and re
turn to his disconsolate companions.
fo one seemed to know the men
they were stranger to all, and yet
they had the appearance of farmera
who had raised a big crop of cotton at
six cents.
But everybody knew them after the
horn blew for dinner.
With a mad rush those hungry-look
ing men made for the table and with
wild eyes and open mouths they went
to work.
Shoulder after shoulder of beef dis
appeared, the men devouring every
thing in aigbt
The crowd stood amazed and forgot
that it was hungry, too. Those sevea
lank men were the attraction, and it
was not until they eould eat no more.
and had crawled off to rest or die,
that the people remembered where
they were and that they bad appe
tites. , .
Tbe chief of the barbecue ap
proached the men, and in a faint voice
asked:
"Where did yon fellers come from.
and when did yon eat before yon
struck this neighborhood?"
One of the men answered:
"We come from this county, but
we've been a-hldin' an' hungry. We
je' heard that the war was over, aa
that Sherman was givin out rations,
an' so we thought we'd git some!" .
The chief of the barbacus fainted.
and they carried him from the field

brought his appetite as usual. That

soup. Tbe bnck happened in after

left. The buck wss given a large

The cook filled It up again and said
"Eat" The Indian looked surprised,
but he consumed tbe soup. Tbe eook
filled the basin again. Tbe buck
shook his head. The cook seized a
huge carving knife and leaped to
ward his guest again , commanding
him to eat The Indian again went
