TALKS ABOUT PAINT
OR MORSMAN MIXES A BATCH
OF PAINT
Outside and Inside Paintings And
Their Ditterences Are
Considered
Outside paint mg and inside painting
are widely different because the con
ditions are ditf' rent. There can he
mi paint made that will si and for
tunny years the eriosiou of the
weather Inside work being protect
ed from the constant wear of the ele
ments, is barring mechanical nb
i i permanent. For outside pnint
iti i t question of durability is of
I... nijuiitaue. In inside work it is
o I a-i importance. Inside we
tici u. • any of tin* pigments and we
need but little oil. Smooth, artistic
work, or perhaps cheapness, < an he
considered Outside when we seek
to cheapen we must sacrifice more or
hast durability. Inside free reign can
he given to tin' taste in selecting col
ors ami shades when outside only
those shades can he used that will
stand the sunlight Specifications for
ties*' two kinds of painting should he
guite different to meet the require
■tents Of course any outside paint
can he used inside hut one cannot
reverse this well and a Rood outside
paint is not the best for Inside work
Of course if the inside painting is
to be a fine white job, lead nr zinc,
or lead and zinc, with the zinc in
excess must be used, but in that
case the paint should be applied
•‘flat” except the last coat to which
varnish is add< d for gloss. 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. The mineral or earth paints
can lie used to replace lend wholly
or partly, the oil can he decreased

thiniH r t an bo partly or wholly gaso
11m 1 would not advise till gasoline
for thinner, not beeause it would in
j ire the paint, hut because it doesn’t
work well.
1 know this teaching is contrary
to all established precede ni. 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
<itks by weight but the method I
have given above is the best except
on very large quantities.
.Next week—llow to make shades
and mixing for different coats will be
tat on up.

CHINESE EXHIBIT.
One Of Finest Collections cf Curios
Ever Seen in This Section.
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.
We wish to express our heartfelt
thanks and sincere appreciation to
the friends and neighbors who gave
to us so freely of their assistance
and sympathy during the illness and
at the time of the death of our
brother and uncle, Thomas McLean.
We are truly greatful for all kind
nesses and wish to publicly acknow
ledge them.

Auxiliary Meeting.
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.
