Americans Are rlnt Uers.

,' neonle consume more paint, both

in, other reople in tho world. In a
Jointly published article on the sub
S it was figured that our yearl
nuniptlo" Is over 100,000,000 gallons
5 Saint, of all kinds, of which over
one-half Is vel in the paintings of
lThV reason for this great consump
tion is twofold: a large proportion of
nlir building, especially tn amall
,oWn and rurnl districts, are con
tructed of wood, and we, as a people,
re given to neatuess and cleanliness.
For. take It all in all, there la nothing
10 cleanly or no snultary aa paint.
Trnvel where we will throughout the
country, everywhere we find the neat,
dieerfiil pulnted dwelling, proclaiming
ot once the prosperity and the aelf-
respect 01 our popumuuu.
Fifty yenra ago thla was not so:
Minted dwellings, while common In
the larger cities and towns, were the
exception In the rurnl districts; be
cnune, on the one hand, a large pro
portion of those buildings were tem
porary makeshift, and. on the other
band, because pnint was then a luxury,
expensive and difficult to obtain tn the
out-of-the-way places, and requiring
special knowledge and much prepara
tion to fit It for use.
The Introduction of ready mixed or
prepared paints, about 1900, changed
the entire aspect of affairs. As tbe
.laok-of-oll-trades told the Walking
Delegate in one of Octnvc Tbanet's
stories "Any one can slather paint."
The insurmountable difficulty "with
our predecessors was to feet the paint
reaily for "slathering." Thnt the coun
try was ready for pnint In a convenient,
popular form is shown by the Imme
diate success of the industry and its
phenomenal growth In fifty years from
nothing to G0,0O0,0OO gallons tbe esti
mated output for 1000.
Some pretty severe things have been
written about and said against this
class of paints, especially by painters
and manufacturers of certain kinds of
paste paints. Doubles in many in
stances these strict ires have been Jus
tified and some fearfully and wonder
fully constructed mixtures have in the
past been worked off on the guileless
consumer in the shape of prepared
pnint. But such products have had
their short day and quickly disap
peared, and Jie ioo enterprising man
ufacturers that produced them have
come to grief in the bankruptcy
courts or ht -e .'eitrne'. by costly ex
perience that honesty is the best pol
icy and Lave reformed their ways.
The chief exceptions to this .ule are
some mail order houses who sell direct
to the country trade, at a very lew
price frequently below the wholesale
price of linseed oil. The buyer of such
goods. ,ike the buyer of a "gold brick,""
has only himself io blame if he tin.'i
his purchase worthless With gold
selling at any bank or mint at a fixed
price owners of gold do not sell it at
a discount; and with Unseed oil quoted
everywhere at fifty to seventy cents a
gnllon. manufacturers do not sell a
pure linseed oil puint at thirty or forty
cents a gnllon.
The composition of prepared paints
differs because paint experts lave not
yet agreed ns to tb- best pigmen:s
and because the aallr results of tests
on a largo seulo are constantly Im
proving 't-e formulas of manufactur
ers; but fill have come to the conclu
sion that the essentials of good paint
are pure linseed oil. fine grinding and
thorough incorporation, and in these
particulars nil the products of repu
table manufacturers correspond; all
first class prepared paints 'are thor
oughly mixed and sround and the liq
uid base Is almost exclusively pure
linseed oil, the necessary volatile
"thinners" and Japan dryers.
The painter's opposition So such pro
ducts Is bnsed largely on self-interest.
He want, to mix the .mint himself
and to be paid for doln it; raid to a
certain class of painters it is no rec
ommendation for a pnint to say that it
will lust five or teu years. The longer
a paint lasts the longer be will huvo
to wait for the Job of repaintiug. The
latter consideration has no weight with
the consumer, and the former is a
'also idea of economy. Hand lnbor
can never be as cheap or as eftlcieut
as machine work, and every time tbe
painter mixes paint, did he but know
it, he is losing money, because he cau
buy a better paint than he can mix
at less than it costs liliu to mix it.
Prepared paints have won, not only
on their actual merits, but on their
convenience and economy. They are
comparatively cheap, and they are in
comparably haudy. But when all Is
said, the experienced painter is the
proper persou to apply even a ready
mixed puint. lie knows better than
any one else the "when" and "how"
and the difference between painting
and "slathering" is much greater than
It appears to a novice. Every ono to
bis trade, and after all painting is the
painter's trade and not the household
er's. A bank note Just 100 years old nns

CAMPHOR CROWNC SCARCE
World1! Snpply Is Hteadlly Decreminj
Kch Your.
According to an official of the De
partment of Commerce and Labor, the
world's supply of camphor Is steadily
decreasing each year. The greater part
comes from Japan and its colony, For
mosa. Of lute years the demand has
begun to exceed the supply, and the
question has arisen how the hitter can
bo maintained.
One of the reasons why camphor is
becoming scarcer and dearer is said to
be that it Is extensively used iu the
lnnnufncturo of celluloid. At present
camphor ic mainly produced from tho
so-called camphor tree, which attains
n gigantic size in Jiipau, one specimen
rorontlv measured being 115 feet tail.
and having a trunk over fourteen and
a half feet in diameter.
The tree Is common in China, but as
yet the production of camphor In thnt
couutry Is very limited.
The enmphortree Is a member of -the
laurel family, and Is related iu genus
to tbe clunnmou tree. It Is snid that
camphor can be produced from other
species of trees, but this statement litis
never been verified. In Borneo u most
aromatic camphor is obtained f'om the
natural deposits of gum in the trunks
or a species of tree Indigenous to that
Islaud and Sumatra. Borneo camphor
is rare and very cosily. '

TUB PASSING OP MATRIMONY.
It is woman's retinal to marry, and
woman's rcstivciiess in marriage for the
immense majority of our divorces arc
asked for by the wife which so alarm
us today. For both these farts there
is the same explanation; the character
of our women is changing faster than the
character of matrimony. The women of
the p;ist were as children compared with
the women of today. Some few great
names there always were to show what
was possible to the sex ; but the majority
were ignorant, weak, and absolutely iso
lated. Toilay in America our women are
as well educated as 'men in "many casrs,
often even more so; and then wide read
ing and general acquaintance with facts
of life, past and present, together with
rapidly increasing organization among
them, gives them a character and cour
age previously unknown.
This change is not, as some thinkers
claim, a morbid demand for mactiliuc
power and privilege. It has nothing to
do with sex. It is the development of
the humanncss in woman. Charlotte Per

A man entered a well-known restau

The waiter looked slightly puzzled, but
answered, "Yes, sir," and disappeared
toward the kitchen.
Ten minutes later he returned, looking
decidedly worried.
"Would you wind repeating that or
der, sir?" he asked.
"I want two fried eggs," said the
diner; one fried on one side and one
on the other."
The waiter again disappeared in the
direction of the kitchen. After a longer

as with Joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when In health and
how conducive to health the -games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri
ous or objectionable nature, and if at anytime a remedial agent is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used ; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has
come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate .
of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because
they know It is wholesome, simple and gentle In its action. We Inform all reputa
ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an
original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and
presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are
used to promote the pleasant taste ; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence
we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent
medicines and never favor Indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup ot figs
always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Cc plainly
printed on the front of every package and that It Is for sale In bottles of one size
only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having
printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get
the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have
a bottle on hand, as It is equally beneficial for the parents and the children,

whenever a laxative remedy is required.
