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.

GROWING POPULARITY OF
BALLOONING WITH SOCIETY
Clubs in England and France
" in New
It is curious how often the old say
ing comes true, that "History repeats
itself;" and this is most forcibly shown
in the return to popularity of balloon
ing. 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

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?"

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

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.

A young fellow had called upon a

parlor when her small brother come,

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

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

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.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care
for children ; it ruins a child's disposi
tion and reacts upon herself. 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. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

The New State,
of Oklahoma '
Bigger than Missouri; as big as Ohio and
Indiana combined, with a soil teeming with
all the crops that any State raises.
OKLAHOMA the new State is destined
to occupy first rank in a few short years.
Here at the present time over a miUioa
people are duplicating the life which is
going on in Illinois and Indiana. Their
houses, their towns and their schools are
newer but in nothing else do their sur
roundings differ from those in our States.
Their cities and towns are growing aad ex
panaing witn the impetus ot a fertile soil,
and a pushing, wide-awake citizenship.
Her settlers, mainly from the older States,
see the virtue of encouraging enterprises of
every kind and the needfulness of gettiag
more and better facilities; of getting more
hands to develop the country.
In brief, conditions to-day are simply
these: OKLAHOMA is in need of nothing
save people. More men are needed in tha
cities and towns; more farmers for the vast
areas of unimproved land not now yielding
crops of which it is capable. There are'
openings of all sorts, for fanners aadl
artisans, for milk and manufacturing!
plants, for small stores of all binds. j
