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.
If you are going to paint, it will pay you
to send to ua lor a book containing informa

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.

"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.
A riotous or rotton stomach will nearly
always gratefully receive a glass or more
of hot water.
