John Bull ia beginning to wonder whether the Boers are really worth all they are costing. •112 + + -f No matter what Mr. Croker is com iDg back to New York for, let us hope he won't get it. + r + -4 Louisville wants the next Hay Fever Association meeting. Louisville's hos pitality is not to be sneezed at. t X Since the Maclay episode, the public is a little shy about denouncing the "inaccuracy" of the daily press. X t Both Fighting Bill Chandler and Writing Bob Evans seem to have drop ped out of the game temporarily. + + + 4 Can't we have a Bryanless Demo cracy? That would be so much more welcomed than many other-less things. Why don't the southern states ex elude from the franchise every one who can't show a vaccination scar, and be done with it. + ? So far as we know, no reports have been received as to what happened to the ice-berg that collided with that Alaskan steamer. X X Considered all the way from Santi ago to Columbia, it is evident that the Navy Department is suffering from a case of "too much Crowninshield." 112 + + + Even if the population of France does not iD general increase in proper pro portions, it cannot be denied that the enlargement < 112 her list of pretenders makes up for it. t X The war in South Africa, it is an nounced, will henceforth be merciless. Evidently, Chamberlain considers it has been quite mild during the past two years. X J Someone has proposed to build a mausoleum where Jefferson, Jackson, Tilden and Bryan can be interred. It's a question which would object the most. Xt The small boys are now wrestling with the green apple problem with more or less disastrous results. Apples have caused trouble over since the days of Eve. .XX A New Jersey preacher says that he oan cast the devil out of women. Pro bably the only reason he hasn't hung out his sign, is that no women will ad mit that they have any. X X There is no excuse for the work of that mob at Pierce City, Mo., but there iB nothing to do but to face the fact that like crimes will bring like outbreaks in very nearly any part of fhe country. X X X.a English locomotive thirty years old is still in service, causing thereby great pride in British bosoms. As a j matter of fact, they ought to be asliam- j ed to use such a pathetically behind ! the times old maohiue. Engines built j ten years ago are as much out of date I So-day as are bows and arrows. Letter to E. C. Davidson. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: Here is a curious condition in the paint business, but it exists. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y., owns two houses exactly alike; ho painted one with a mixed paint—took 12 gallons. Painted the other with Devoe; bought 12 gallons and had 6 gallons left. Same painter: George Gilbert. Same result, so far as looks go. As you are not a paint maker, you probably don't understand why a gallon of Devoe lead and zinc contains twice as much paint as a gallon of some of the mixed paints. We'll tell you: A gallon of milk that's half water, isn't a gallon of milk; neither is a gallon of paint that's half lime and china clay, a gallon of paint. The following is the analysis of one of the mixed paints sold in your section: Lead, zinc and color 41 per cent Lime and China Clay 59 per cent This 59 per cent of Lime and China Clay is whitewash; it is to paint what water is to milk—adulteration; conse quently this paint contains only 41 per cent of legitimate paint material (lead, zinc and color) while Devoe lead and zinc contains 100 per cent. That explains, why a gallon of Devoe lead and zinc contains twice as much paint as a gallon of some of the mixed paints. Yours truly, 48 F. W. DEVOE & Co. LAST OF THE~SEASON.

TOUR TO THE PACIFIC COAST. Another Opportunity to Visit California under the Auspices of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Personally-Conducted Sys tem. In view of the great popularity of transcontinental travel under the Per sonally-Conducted System, as evidence in the recent Pennsylvania Railroad Tour to the Pacific Coast and Canadian Northwest, that company has decided to run another tour to the Pacific Coast, including in the itinerary a visit to the world-famous Grand Cannon of Ari zona, in the early Fall. The tour will leave New York, Philadelphia, Balti more, Washington and other stations on the Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburg, on Monday, September 23, and reach New York on the home ward trip Tuesday, October 22. As in former tours to California under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Rail road, a special train, composed of the highest class of Pullman equipment, will be utilized during the entire trip. Excellent meals will be served in the dining cars attached to the train during the entire journey, except during the stops at San Fran cisco and in Chicago. An observation car will appeal to all who delight in scenery. Few trips afford so great a diversity in Nature's beauties as the one outlined below. Westward bound, the tourists will pass through the wild slopes of the Colorado Rockies, around the Great Salt Lake, and over the fast nesses of the Sierra Nevada. After visiting all the beautiful resorts on the sunny California slopes, the eastward journey will be through the Arizona desert to the Grand Canon of Arizona. Its beauties cannot be painted in mere words. Magnificent in coloring, awful in its depths, it Btands among the natural wonders of the world. Thence across the plains to St. Louis, and east ward through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, the tourists reach their destination just thirty days after leaving home. The various transcontinental lines having made low rates on account of the General Triennial Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is enabled to offer this superb vacation trip at the low rate of $lB5 for the round trip from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, or any point on Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pitts burg, one in a berth; and $165 for the round trip, two persons occupying the same berth. The rate from Pittshurg will be $5 lees. Diagrams are now open, and as the number who can be accommodated will be strictly limited, names should be registered immediately.
