74 A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.' j aWroina Off Paint Makes Insurance Void. It seems that considerable danger to .property exists in the practice of burning off old paint before re-painting. The question has long been a .subject of debate in the technical Journals, end now householders and the newspapers have begun to discuss it. Those of us who, with trembling, have watched the painters blow a fiery blast from their lamps against our houses, and hai'e looked sadly at the .sire of our painting bill because 'of the time wasted on this prelimin ary work, are interested in the in vestigation by the Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette and Courier, which gives con siderable space to the reasons for the practice, questions its necessity and suggests ways to prevent the risk of burning down one's house in order to get the old paint off. It says: "There is a good deal of discussion among householders as to the desir ability, in painting houses, of burning ,off the old paint, a practice that has grown'very common of late in Green field and elsewhere. Insurance men are strongly opposed to this method. It makes void insurance policies for fires caused in this manner. Several houses in Greenfield have gotten aflre as the result of this method, and in some places houses have burned as a result "It is undoubtedly true that when a house has been painted over and over again there comes to be an ac cumulation of paint in bunches. If new paint is put on top of these ac cumulations it is almost sure to blis ter. To burn it off is the quickest and cheapest and perhaps the surest method of getting rid of this old paint' The Gazette and Courier quotes cer tain old patrons to the effect that ac cumulations of paint are unnecessary. These old-timers lay the blame partly on the painter who fails to brush his paint in well, partly on the custom of Itaintiug in damp weather or not allow ing sufficient time for drying between coats, and partly to the use of adulter ated paints instead of old-fashioned linseed oil and pure white lead. The paper says: ."Many of the old householders say that if care is taken at all these points it is absolutely unnecessary to have paint burned off. They advise that people who have houses painted should buy their own materials, and to have them put on by the day, so as to be sure to. get good lead and oil. Of course the burning off of paint greatly 'increases the cost of the job." The trouble householders everywhere have with paint Is pretty well summed up by our contemporary, and the causes are about the same everywhere. By far the most frequent cause of the necessity for the dangerous practice of burning old paint is the use of poor material. The oil should be pure lin seed and the white lead should be real white lead. The latter is more often tampered with than the oil. Earthy substances, aud pulverized rock and quartz, are frequently used ascheap cners, to the great detriment of the paint Painters rarely adulterate white lead themselves and they very seldom use ready prepared paints the most frequent causes of paint trouble. But they do often buy adulterated white lead because the property owner in sists on a low price and the painter has to economize somewhere. The suggestion is therefore a good one that the property owner investigate the subject a little, find out the name of some reliable brand of white lead, "and see that the keg is marked with "that brand. The linseed oil is more difficult to he sure of, as it is usually sold in hulk when the quantity is small; but reliable makers of linseed oil can be learned on inquiry, and, if your dealer is reliable, you will get what you want Pure white lead and linseed oil are so necessary to good paint that the little trouble necessary to get them well repays the house owner in dollars and cents saved. The Difference. The actress looked debonair, al- though the play had been pronounced a failure on every side. "It's got to succeed," she explained "and for that reason I'm not nervous. Last season I played seven new parts, on Broadway, but I feel perfectly tranquil now. That's the advantage of being a musical show. More than $40,000 is invested in costumes and scenery and they're not going to be thrown away. The piece has simply got to be made a success. If it had been a dramatic production we would have closed oa Saturday night As it is. I exi)cct to keep the same job all winter." Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using De fiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. Serve as lllumjnants.

In the eighteenth century we read a good deal of the delights of ballooning, both as a sport for men and women, and it has gone on ever since up to the last five years, when, on the formation of an English Aero club, the sport has been' brought be fore public notice, and taken up by society in general. Some years before the formation of an English Aero club, France boasted of one composed of many hundreds of enthusiastic mem bers, a great number of whom own private balloons. Undoubtedly France offers more fa cilities for ballooning, in that it is not an island, and so there is more chance of making long journeys, as in the British Isles the wind is sure to take you in a very short space of time to the sea, while it is not always strong enough to insure a safe descent on the other side. In spite of this one draw back, England is a delightful place to balloon in for those who are con tent with a journey of a few hours; but if a journey running into days is contemplated, then it is necessary to go over to France and make a start from there, preferably from Paris, where every facility is offered to the aeronaut The most astonishing part of bal looning Is the variety of temperature one is likely to encounter. It may be snowing on the earth, and yet, when the clouds have been passed through, one finds brilliant sunshine and blue sky above, while, looking down, the clouds appear as a great ocean. The illusion is very remarkable. Again, when descending in a snow storm, it Harvesters in English Field appears to be snowing upwards, owing to the balloon falling faster than the anowflakes. To turn for a moment from the en joyments of ballooning to its disad vantages, the most prominent one, to my mind, is the impossibility to steer a balloon, and hence one cannot reach a desired point unless the wind chooses to oblige you. There is no doubt that a "conveyance." be it aero plane or balloon, will soon be invent ed, when this drawback will be over come, but not without many experi ments and possibly loss of life. The combination of gas and an electric spark is most dangerous, so we shall probably see the aeroplane taking the place of a gas-balloon in the near fu ture. Regarding the utility of balloons, this word can hardly be 'applied to them as articles of use for the general public, for the reasons before stated. Nevertheless, in the army they are of great service. In -the first place, they have enabled people to get out of be sieged towns; and secondly, by being sent up captive, a great area of coun try can be seen at one time. To enjoy a balloon trip thoroughly one must be properly dressed for the occasion; for women, a short coat and skirt is the best thing to wear. It is not while actually in the balloon that the benefit of this attire is felt but on descending, when nine times out of ten there is a walk of several miles to be done to reach the nearest railway station, while probably the balloon and basket have to be packed into the only available cart Perhaps the most enjoyable part of ballooning is what is known as "trail ing." This consists of letting a rope Ba - J WM Sm&OS- -5 Bl HIS USUAL HABIT A local pastor tells the story, with one of his brother clergyman as the subject It appears that when some men wish to "swear off" from the use of intoxicating liquor, they feel surer of themselves ,to take the pledge with a clergyman as witness. The pastor in question was awakened .one night shortly after retiring by the frantic ringing of his doorbell. Hastily donning a few garments, he went to the door and admitted a ra ther dilapidated specimen of human ity, quite obviously endeavoring to recover from the effects of over-indulgence in the flowing bowl, or its mod ern equivalent, the bell-shaped glass. "Wanter take th plesh, pleash," he carefully articulated. The clergyman hesitated, but finally decided that the man was penitent enough to realize what he was doing, and started to prepare the docu ment "How long do you want to take it for?" he asked. "A year, or two years, or longer?" The visitor Jooked at him in some f , '"i Which arc Finding Raereation Diversion. about 250 feet king hang over the side of the balloon basket and trail over the country beneath, just touching the ground. To be so near the earth, and yet just to be able to sail over house tops and tree-tops,' gives ono the sen sation the nearest akin to flying, as when one is soaring in higher alti tudes one loses all sense of movement or judgment of distance. The entire absence of giddiness which seems .al most incredible to those who have not tried ballooning is entirely due to this inability to measure distance. I sup pose there is hardly ever a time on this earth when one could say there was absolute silence; it is either broken by the whistle of a locomotive or the bark of a dog. or maybe it is simply the breeze rustling the leaves of the trees. In the higher altitudes, however, the silence is complete In deed, and is one of the most notice-, able things on a first balloon trip. It may not be generally known that if a balloon is left to itself it will come down to earth of its own accord after a certain .time, but it requires, of course, all the skill of the experienced aeronaut to effect a safe descent The art in descending without an undue "bump," is to let out just the right quantity of gas and to check the fall of the balloon at the right moment by throwing out sufficient quantity of "ballast" Sometimes it is necessary to come down very fast should, for instance, the sea suddenly loom in the distance but there is nothing more unpleasant; so when any obstacle is sighted which necessitates descend ing, ample time to come down, should lie allowed, and thus insure a "soft" descent Another form of aerial navigation is the kite. This is being largely used Helping to Secure Balloon. for army purposes, being more com pact than a balloon and requiring no preparation beforehand. When it is too windy to send up a captive balloon, a kite is of especial service, as the greater the force of the wind the greater the lifting power of the kite. On a windy clay at Aldershot one often, sees a man suspended some five or six hundred feet from the earth by a string of kites. There are two most necessary things to impress on the novice first that on no consideration must he or she alight from the balloon when once in side without first giving warning to the rest of the passengers, and then he must alight without relaxing his hold on the side of the balloon-basket Should he omit to do this, the balloon, relieved of so much weight, would shoot upwards at a far greater speed than is either safe or pleasant for the remaining occupants of the car. The second point to remember is, when the balloon is descending for good, to raise the feet from the bottom of the basket by means of holding on to the ropes above with the hands, and keeping the knees bent until the, balloon-car has received the first shock from contact with the earth. The day may soon come when a balloon "garage" will be as necessary a part of one's house as a motor gar age is at the present time. VERA F. BUTLER. Barber's Sign Long in Use. The barber's sign was a 3triped pole as far back as 1650, the stripes around the pole being symbols of the bandages used in wrapping the arm or part from which the blood was to be let surprise, and then replied, with evi dent feeling: "Guess I'd besher take it for life. UzbTy do." The clergyman promptly declined to continue with the ceremonies, but preserved the story for relation at the next ministers' meeting. Provi dence Journal. Put Blame on Government.

GAME THAT BOBBIE KNEW. Youngster's Revelations " Were -Interesting to Caller.. . A young fellow had called upon a girl with whose charms he was some what smitten, and was waiting in the parlor when her small brother come, in, weeping bitterly. From either a sense of politic, precaution or natural kindness of heart the young man had been kind to the little fellow on sev eral occasions, and now took him on his lap and asked the cause of the trouble. "Sis-sister is mean to me," the little fellow sobbed. "Ob, I guess she didn't intend to be; maybe you worried her when she was busy," the youth said consolingly. "What was she doing?" "She was playin', an' wouldn't let me play, too," Bobby said. "Playing what? The piano? I guess she thought you didn't know how." "Oh, yes, I know how better'n she does," Bobby asserted. "She was playin' Indian, an' wasn't putting half 'nough paint on her face." Hunters Mauled by Lioness. A fight between two hunters and an infuriated lioness is reported from British East Africa. Messrs. Lucas and Goldfinch left Nairobi on a shooting expedition, and when five miles from the town the lioness was observed. While the men stood at the edge of the thicket the brute pounced on Mr. Goldfinch and threw him to the ground. It bit him on the thigh be fore Mr. Lucas lodged a bullet in its bkCCK Maddened by the wound, the ani xial turned its attention to Mr. Lucas, whose horse it felled and then pinned the rider to the ground, inflicting lac erations on his face and biting his right arm. He was saved by Mr. Goldfinch, who, sitting up, rolled the lioness over with a well-aimed shot. The beast was about to spring on its victim again when another dis charge from the same weapon proved fatal. The wounded men were taken back to town, where they received medical aid. Practiced What He Preached. Rev. Denis P. OTIynn. of Xew York city, used to say that priests ought to die poor and he practiced vhat he preached. Aside from a valuable li brary given to the Paulist fathers he has left no discoverable estate no money in bank, no money in the rec tory. "He died as poor as the proverb ial church mouse," says his assistant. Father Corrigan. "What little insur ance he carried will barely cover the funeral expenses. He never saved a penny for himself. After keeping the house on his meager salary he gave away an he had." Unique Election Cry. A wooden-legged candidate for the town council of Claston, Eng., urged his fellow artisans to elect him on the ground that a wooden leg in the coun cil would be a pleasant variety among the wooden heads there now.

The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact thai the mother has some female weak ness and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The ills of women act like a firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration, ner vous despondency, " the blues," sleep lessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying? Do you feel something like a ball ris ing in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound ; pain in the abdominal region, and between the shoulders; bearing-down pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, yonr nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothinjr in the world is better for nervous prostra tion than Lydia E.
