To mix paint 'flat” we must use little oil and w.uch turpentine. A '‘flat" coat ftf.es on smoother and can be sand papered better than a gloss coat. If colors or shades arc to be used it is not necessary to use zinc, or at least not much, but, as in the above case, the first coats should be laid on ‘ flat.” None of these remarks apply to the ‘'priming1' coat, however I will take that up later, lairing the last few years “flat'’ fin ish for the final finish lias boon pop- ( ular in high class work. Aside from fine work there are in numerable jobs of ordinary inside ! painting, one or two coat work whore! fine work Is not attempted or desired and 'vie ii < lieaper material can be used.

Th white bad nil'll have liecn years ed ucating the people that t hey must use nothing but lead. The mixed paint men decry ochre and minerals ami put them both in their paint, and the painters talk high priced material and use what they please, I am giv ing He' facts as 1 s« e them and It is up to the readers to take my opinion or not as lie chooses. lint, keep in mind that I am talking about inside i work. I have said and I repeat it that we cannot cheapen tm outside [ job without sacrificing durability lo j some extent. On outside work we must use oil and must use it generous ly, and lead is the most durable body pigment we have, but there is plenty of cheap paint bought, by men who know it is cheap paint and know I that they can not expect the best, results from it. It is what they want, and to them Isay, it is impossible to make a very cheap outside paint that will give reasonable service bo cause we must use the oil We can | use mineral pigments and we ran use a little gasoline but we cannot cut out (lie oil. but this will give bettor 1 results than high priced pigments and cheap oil. Never attempt to cheapen a white Job outside White lead and zinc are the only two white pigments we have that stay white. The mixed paint men have taught, that the mixing of paint is a very dif ficult matter and that they and their special lnuqjiinerj are essential to a well mixed batch of paint. I must admit that if 1 had a big batch of paint lo mix Hint I would like to Imvi it mixed by machinery tor it i isn’t an easy job. it sometimes moans blisters and tired muscles but. that is the only difficulty about mix | ing paint. “Elbow grease" and a littl “liei>. > sense" is all that is required. Tlie teaching of the paint ipen lias do : ii, work however, and the aver I a ■ man thinks he can not mix a bucket of paint so it wouldn't blow off in the first wind, it is very sim ple and this is the process: Take any vessel with an open top that will hold about one third more than the amount of paint to be mixed in this place the body pigments, all. if it is a small batch, only part, if it is a large batch, to this add a portion of the oil, about half as much oil as pigment and with a suitable stick or “paddle" stir them together well. This is the blistering part and you | had better see that your stick is j smooth. They must be rubbed to long t line breaking all lumpy por tions against the side of the vessel until a uniform pate is obtained. Then add more oil and more pigment I stirring thoroughly after each ad-1 dition. When the oil is all in then add the drier and follow it with the thinner, if well done the paint is ' now ready to strain. Over the top of i another vessel fasten a waste piece of wire fly screen and pour the paint through it. The strainer eatohes the lumps, dried pieces of oil, sticks paper, etc,, and the paint comes through clean and smooth. If only one color is to be used it is ready for the brush. If it is to be shaded with some other color, mix the other color separately in the same manner and add it little by little to the first batch, stirring well after • aeli addition until the right tint is obtained. Don't add this color pig ment all at once, not even if you have weighed it and believe it to be right because different makes of color vary in intensity and even dif ferent lots of the same make. So stir after each addition and trust to the eye to tell when the shade is right. fi If more than one color pigment is !.) be added, alternate additions must be made. The more numerous the rotors the more difficult it is to get the shade exact but if the novice will add small quantities of color stirring well Iter each addition he can hardly fail Next week's article will contain an abreviated color guide that gives qua .

One of the finest collections of Chinese curios ever brought into this .section of the state was exhibited two days of last week and Monday of this week in the basement of the Presbyterian church. It was the personal collection of Dr. Francis Tucker and his wife, Dr. Emma loose Tucikcr, recently returned missionaries to China, who are now visiting Falls City relatives. Th collection fills all the basement of the church except the kitchen and several patrons who raw it say it excells by far similar collections they have seen in museums in Poston, Phil ftdolphia or Chicago. In this col lection are the personal things giv en up by the Chinese courts to Chris tianity which, before their own peo ple. it is a sin or a disgrace to part with—all sorts of gods, personal be longings and heirlooms supposed to possess certain charms or values. 1 here are collections of school books formerly used among the Chin ese and those of the present time which, in the Chinese language, is Illustrated and treated the same as our own school books. There is also the Chinese “Mother Goose” which is compiled with native rhymes and fables which are almost identical with our own American “Mother Goose" which has always been considered ex ! elusively American. ! In the collection are furs from Mongolia and treasures from every Province visited by the Tuckers. There are shoes worn by the ladies with bound feet who gave them up on becoming christianized, all sorts of head dress, banners of every descrip j tion that illustrate every phase of i Chinese life, medicines which repre I sent the twenty-five perscriptions in | Chinese medicine that have been ‘handed down for five hundred years by their heriditar.v doctors, all kinds ! of dress and household utinsels. Dr. and Mrs. Tucker are indefutig able talkers and never weary of tell ing of Chinese life and customs and the wonders they have seen, also the splendid work they have watched in its growth for eight years and in which they have taken so active a part. To be permitted to view this collection and hear Dr. and Mrs. Tucker talk so freely ovo it is a priv ilege, indeed, a rare treat and those who failed to see the curios and hear their talks were indeed unfoi tunate. A small admission fee was charge and Chinese tea in Chinese cups was served by maids who like the other assisting ladies were in Chin ese dress. The C. K. Society realized a goodly sum from the exhibit. Card of Thanks.

The St. Thomas Branch of the Woman’s Auxiliary to the Board of Missions met Monday night with Mrs. K. A. Dittmar at eight o'clock. The meeting was opened with devotional exercises by the rector. The presi dent, Mrs. Jussen, called the meeting to order and announced the business to be transacted after which the lit erary hour followed. The subject for study and discussion was the "Work of the Church Among the Indians of the itoe ky Mountains and the Pacific Slope.” It was here that a charm ing paper was read by Mrs. Kwalt ou “The Attempted Christianization" of the Tribes on the Pacific Coast.' This paper was listened te> with pro found intere-st as slie> told the story of that splendid pagan people with lliedr perfect physique; their keen ness of intellect; tlieir wonderful natural moral instinct and their very strange barbaric civilization. She told of the coming of the race with their craze for the yellow metal that j lay huhb n in the stream and hillside jot the original Inhabitants; then came the pitiful story of the rapid | decimation of these proud red ! men through massacre, slavery and disease, a freewill offering of the above mentioned gold seeker. She told of the long delayed advent of i the Christian Missionaries, represent atives of many religious bodies; of their hopeless feeble effort to save the small remnant to Christ of a once grand race of 200,000 precious souls. She told of the final dropping of the curtain, of the last act of a piti ful heart-breaking drama, a drama of “Man's Inhumanity to Man,” and which resolved itself into a tragedy which tragedy bore the head of Chris tianity in profound sorrow and shame,' that is the practical annihilation of superb race of men. a race full of great possibilities; and all this for gold and graft. A lengthy discussion followed the reading of the paper. Mrs. Ilittmar, assisted by Mesdames Neide and Ho rocks, served tea and wafers. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Ewalt on December 12.
