Your Painter has often wasted time and material in trying to obtain a f hade of color, and has even resorted to the use of ready mixed paints, the ingredients of which he knew nothing, because of the diffi culty in making a shade of color with white lead. This waste can be avoided by the use of National Lead Company's Pure White Lead Tinting Colors These tints are a combination of per- j fectly pure colors, put up in small cans, j and prepared so that one pound will j tint 25 pounds of Strictly Pure White Lead to the shade shown on the can. By this means you will have the best paint in the world, because made of the best materials— Strictly Pure White Lead and pure colors. Insist on having one of tne brands of white lead that are standard, manufactured by the " Old Dutch" process, and known to be strictly pure: "Armstrong & McKelvy" " Beymer-Bauman" " Fahnestock" " Davis-Chambers" These brands of Strictly Pure White Lead and National Lead Co.'b Pi*re White Lead Tinting Colors arc for sale by the most re liable dealers in paints everywhere.

I THE CITIZEN SHE CAPTURED THE COURT. A Woman TrtTtltr Who Can Take Car. of Heraelf. "There are several lady travelers or the road, but most of them are rathei agents than travelers," writes a com mercial traveler to the St. Louis Globe Democrat. "One of the brig-litest among them that I have met was a pleasant little bodv who was taking orders for boobs though, as she frequently explained,she was no book agent, because she only sold to the trade and in 'quantities. That might be, but she always had a spare copy to accommodate anyont who might be strufk with its beauties. "I met her in a Rmpll Illinois town, where the local juaiciary wrestled hard to coUect a license from every one who came within a hundred miles of being an agent or peddler, and my fair comrade got herself arrested for selling a single copy of her book for six dollars cash to a man who was mean enough to give her away. I felt sorry for her, and made up my mind that after supper I would either square the court or bail her out. "But my services as advocate or di verter ofjustice from the proper chan nels were not needed, for at- supper tittie she appeared more radiant than ever. I asked her how she got along with the police judge o* justice of the peace. " 'Oh,' she replied, 'he is just the nicest old man I ever saw in my life, lie bought the only copy I had left, and asked the constable who arrested me if he thought he had good sense tc drag a lady before him like that for nothing.' "I often wonder what kind of argu ment the lady used, for the old judge had a reputation for cussedness which it was hard to equal. But one thing is certain, and that is the average womar traveler can take good care of herself without much outside assistance." LIKE A HUMAN HAND. The Singular Growth of a Tree Whlcb Had Oaea Been Blighted. Up on the eaat side of North Seventh street, about midway between Poplai street and Girardavenue, Philadelphia, stands a strikingly curious tree, which recently attracted the attention of an inquirer nifiki. It stands just in front of a stable yard, and the employes of the place say that dozens of people come to them every week and make re marks or ask questions about the strange growth. From the thickness oi the growth at the base the tree is probably about forty years old, but it* branches and foliage are new and fresh, and look as though they were but the growth of a year or two. The trunk runs straight from the ground to a height of fifteen feet. Above this, for a short diatance, is a thick, globular mass of foliage, the leaves appearing to grow directly out of the wood. Above this growth run up three thick stalks or stumps six or eight feet high, also covered with a dense, close mass of foliage. When the tree is viewed from the north side it presents a startling resemblance to a giant human hand protruding from the earth. The thr«« big stumps at the top represent the three middle fingers, and upon either side of these can easily be seen config urations of the surrounding foliage which correspond to the little finger and thumb. The explanation of the phenomenon is a curious one. The tree was once full grown and vigorous, but was attacked by blight or some other disease, and the dead trunk was pruned down to its present proportions, where upon the present new growth devel oped. PECULIARITIES OF GREEK ART. Sculptor* Made Male and Female Fea ture* Different. Archaeologists have observed that in Greek statues the male eye is strongly arched, while the female eye has a rather flattened surface; and referring to accounts by the older anatomists who have affirmed sueli a difference to exist they have seen in this a fresh proof of the exact observation of nature by the ancient Greeks. Tho rule, according to London Nature, is not without exceptions, for the cornea in the Zeus of Otricoli has quite a flat form. Ilerr Greef recently set himself to in quire whether such a sexual difference actually exists, and from individual measurmentof the radius of the cornea in the horizontal meridian he gets an average of 7.88 mm. for men and 7.83 mm. for women (Donders gives 7.808 and 7.799), so the difference is so small as to be imperceptible to the naked eye. Measurement of other dimensions gave but minute differences also. The author concludes that the Greeks (from artistic motives) did not in this case follow nature. Faper Made of Iron. A queer specimen of American iron work was exhibited at tho great expo sition of 185 L Immediately a lively discussion ensued among American and British manufacturers as to how their iron could be rolled. The Gillett rolled sheets, the average thickness of which was only tho 18-109 part of an inch! The wonderful fineness of thia work may be more rapidly understood when the reader Is informed that 1,200 ■heets of the thinnest tissue pajier, pressed, measure a fraction over an Inch. These sheets were strong and tenacious and could be written upon with a pen, but were porous when held before a strong light. A (Deer That Overtook a Train. A deer had a race with a train on the Piscataquis division of the Bangor &. Aroostook railroad not long ago. The train was on a level and was making fully thirty miles an hour when a deer, evidently chased by dogs, came in sight in a wood road behind tho hindcrinost car. It was a buck, with lofty head and trim limbs. He came along at a rapid gait, overtook the train and for a mile and a half kept even pace with the engine, sometimes coming within forty yards of the cars. Finally tho train crossed the wood rood, which had run parallel to the track, and the buck went out of sight behind some bushes. —Life is short and time is fleeting, hut Hood's Sarsaparillu will bless humanity as ages roll on. —An ordinary piauo contain* a inilo of wire string. —A well furnished parlor revels in a great variety of chairs. —Every suburban excursionist returns to *ho city ladeu with flowers anil blos soms.

USK DANA'S SA USA PA KM LA, ITS "THE KIND THAT CUBES." Water as a Medicine. "Hall's Journal of Health'' gives the fol lowing: The human body is constantly undergoing tissue change. Worn out par ticles are cast aside and eliminated from the system, while the new are ever being formed, from the inception ol life to its close. Water has the power of increasing these tissue changes, which multiplies the waste products, but at the same time they are renewed by its agency, giving rise to in creased appetite, which in turn provides fresh nutriment. Persons but little accus tomed to drinking water are liable to have the products formed faster than they are removed. Acy obstruction to the free working of natural laws at once produces disease, which, if once firmly seated, re d air eg both time and money to cure. People accustomed to rise in the morn ing weak and languid wi'l find the cause in the imperfect secretion of wastes which many times may be remedied by drinking a full tumbler of water before retiring. This very materially assists in the process during the night, and leaves the tissues fresh and strong, ready for the active work of the da». Hot water is one of our best remedial agents. A hot bath on going to bed. even in the hot nights of summer, is a better reliever of insomnia than many drugs. Inflamed parts will subside under the continual poulticing of real hot water. Very hot water is, as we all know, a prompt checker of bleeding, and besides, if it is clean, as it should be. it adds In sterilizing the wound.
