PAINTING HOUSES CHEAP. A Recipe by Which One Can Paint a Residence for From 68 to IS Cent. Several months ago Mr. J. R. Mo- Crary, of Lexington, published a receipe for a white dressing to be used on the feitenor of buildings which will be of interest. We re print it as follows: ' The writer f this had occasion last week to take a trip from Lex ington to the lower part of the county and was struck with the large number of nice new houses which had been erected within the last few years and with the evidences of general prosperity on the part of the county. He was also struck with another thing that is that not a single one of these new houses had been treated with a coat of paint? Why should this be? And why is it a fact that hardly any of our people paint their homes? Up among the northern and western people all the homes are painted. Ia that an evidence of greater taste or of more wealth? Perhaps of both. Surely no one who can paiut home without much cost will allow it to go from year to year exposed to the weather uiid without any beauty whatever. The following recipe is one which the writer him self has used and which if followed exactly will afford a cheap paint and will last for seven or eight years which is longer than the usual store paint will lust. It gives a fine white color which will give eminent satisfaction and will pre serve the building from decay and above all things else will aid Brent beauty to homes which however well built look badly because of laek of paint. All the ingreuients can be bought at any hardware store. Take half bushel of fresh lime, put in a banel, cover with an old sack, add enough water to just cover it and let it tl ick for a few days. Then strain through a coarse sack. During the abave time dissolve a peck of Sdlt in boiling water, strain it and add to the lime water. Also grind three pounds of rice in a coffee mill, boil it till it becomes a paste and put that in the lime bar rel And dissolve two pounds of glue in water and put it in the barrel. Add two pounds of Spanish Whiting and stir till the whole mass becomes well mixed and then apply the same to the house with an or dinary whitewash brush. This preparation should not be put on cold but you should warm an old wash-pan full at a time and put it on while warm. Try this and the writer guarantees a" perfect white finish which will give you a beauti ful home and at little cost. The whole thing will not cost you over 60 or 75 cents and yon can put it on in a short time and have a pretty home where now perhaps you have a weather-beaten' house with no nut Bide attraction at all. Tne prepar ation does as well on an old house as a new one and for the sake f your selves, your wives and children I hope yoa will give it a trial. The whole world is full of loveliness. Then why should our good people live in unsightly homes? J. R. M. Something to Think About. Criminals always stick together and give aid and comfort to the man caught in the meshes of the law. Incidentally they keep,-their line up intact, aud wage ceaseless war on those who stand for law aud order and decency. One of their weapons against men who believe in these things is slander, "the foulest whelp of sin". Let a man take a decided stand for order, and he is their target. They slander him for revenge and to intimidate others. A step more and they openly intimi date witnesses and juries. When a community is whipped to a stand still by such mllueuces as these, the law-breaker's goal is reached and crime is supreme. Right along on the same line as this is the accursed crime of slandering innocent people to distract attention from a glaring offence against decency and morals. Even pure, good women are nut ex empt from this hideous effort to palliate another's crime aud make it appear that such crimes are quite common. There is no fouler deed than this. Hell yawns lor knaves who do it. The Dispatch. Pointed Paragraphs. Chloaco News. Unless a woman can red between the lines she'll never know, her hus band like a book. .Many a successful man got his start in life by having a womaa push him akng in a go cart. Never start a modern man to talking abont himself unless yon have nothing to do but lis'e i. It's so much easier for a man to make a woman happy during court ship than it is for him to make good after marriage. Women say that men are all alike, but when two men fall in love with the same woman a difference soon exists between them. The Scrap Book Should Be Patented. "Manily, wlm' fo' you gib dat baby a big piece of pohk to chaw on? Don you all know de po' chile choke on It?" "Dinah, don' you see de string tied to dat pleee ob fat pohk? De udder end's tied to de chile's toe. Ef he chokes he'll kick, an' ef be kicks he'll Jerk de pohk out. Ah reckon you all don' learn me nothin' 'bout brlngin' up cliillun!" INGRATITUDE. Blow, blow, thou winter wlndl Thou are not ao unkind Aa man'a Ingratitude. Thy tooth ia not ao keen, Because thou art not seen. Although thy breath be rude. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky. That dost not bite so high As benefits forgot! Though thou tho waters warp, Thy sting lg not so sharp As friend remembered not. Shakespeare. They Were Really Agreed! Former Licutemiiit Governor Wood ruff of New York tells of the efforts of a kindly disposed ninn In AlbAny to arbitrate between a mnn nnd his wife who were alrlnpr their troubles on the sidewalk one Saturday even ing. "Look here, my man," exclaimed the Albany man, nt once Intervening In the altercation, "this won't do, you know" "What business Is It of yours?" de manded the man angrily. "It's my business only so far as I may be of service in settling this dis pute, and I should like very much to do that." "This ain't no dispute." . "No dispute;" came in astonished tones from the would be peacemaker. "Why, you" "I tell you that It ain't no dispute. She tlilnl-.s she ain't goln' to get my week's wanes, and I know she ain't! Tbut ain't no dispute!" Llpplneott's. Willie's Cross Eyed Bear. Aunt Marion took her small nephew to church one Sunday, nnd wheu Willie got home his mother asked him how he liked to attend church. "Well." said Willie. "I liked It, only they sang a funny song." "What was it?"' "About a cross eyed bear." "What! You must be mistaken." But Willie was sure he was right. When Aunt Marlon appeared, she was questioned, and this was found to be the hymn: "A Consecrated Cross I'd Bear!" ! He Had Left It. j A prominent railroad man hurried down the lobby of a Binghamton hotef and up to the desk. He had just ten minutes lu which to pay bis bill and reach the station. Suddenly it occurred to him that he had forgotten some thing. "Here, boy," he called to a negro bellboy, "run up to 48 and see If T left a box on the bureau. And be quick about it. will you 7" The boy rttshed up the stairs. The ten minutes dwindled to seven, aud tho railroad man paced the office. At length the boy appeared, empty hand ed. "Yas, suh," he panted breathlessly. "Yas, suh, yo left it, suh." Every body's. A Hungry Wolf. A fed faced man was holding the at tention of a little group with some wonderful recitals. "The most exciting chase I ever had," be said, "happened a few years ago in Russia. One night, when sleigh ing about teu miles from my destina tion, I discovered, to my intense hor ror, that I was being followed by a puck of wolves. I fired blindly Into the pack, killing one of the brutes, and, to my delight, saw the others stop to devour it. After doing this, however, they still came on. I kept on repeat ing the dose, with the same result, and each occasion gave me an opportunity to whip up my horses. Finally there was only one wolf left, yet on it came, with its fierce eyes glaring iu anticipa tion of a good, hot supper." Here the man who had been sitting in tho comer burst forth into a lit of lnufchtor. "Why, man," said he, "by your way of reckoning, that Inst wolf must haye had the rest of the pack Inside liini!'" "Ah." saiil the red laced man. with out a tremor, "now 1 remember it did wabble n bit." ' I Really Amazing. An American tourist on the summit of Vesuvius was appalled nt the gran deur of the sight. "(Sreat suakes!" be exclaimed; "It re minds mo of hades." "Gad, how you Americans do travel!"' refilled his English friend wiio stood near by. Ladies' Iljme Journal. An Opportune Telegram. "One time when 1 and some other lawyers were engaged in defending a prisoner charged with murder," said an attorney, "Judge Shope was among those employed on the side of the pros ecution. We made a vigorous effort to get our man's head away from the halter, and our chances seemed fair enough uutll Shoie addressed the Jury. He didn't seem to make much of an Impression at first. They Usteued rath er indifferently, but all nt once a cir cumstance arose that turned things In his favor. "While he was speaking a messen ger boy entered the courtroom aud handed him a telegram, which, still continuing his address to the jnry he mechanically tore open. Suddenly bli tyea dilated and stared Intently on the words before him. Then bis voice fal tered nnd broke, his breath came and went In short gasps, his chest heaved and fell with deep emotion, and, turn ing his tearful eyes on the Jury, he eaiil In sobbing tones: " 'Excuse me, gentlemen. I fear I cannot go on. I have Just received the news of the death of a dear friend, one who has been of the most material benefit to me in my profession and whose demise leaves a gap that none can ever fill. Excuse me, I beg of you. I am utterly unmanned and bro ken down at this sad calamity.' "Some members of the Jury expressed their regret nnd urged him to continue his address, and he did so. The result was that lie won the sympathy of that Jury, and my unfortunate client was sent to tlie penitentiary for life. "When the trial was over, somebody picked tip the telegram that had so opportunely come Into the bands of the able advocate. It had lieen sent by a wnggfch friend and simply contained the favorite expression of a character In one of Charles Rcade's novels, the old soldier in 'The Cloister and the Hearth. which is, 'Have courage, friend; the devil is dead."

A I'.aplist minister In Virginia was noted for quaint sayings. lie was the owner of a few yoke of oxen, and nt the los:i of one of a favorite yoke n loss he could 111 afi"ord-was well nigh In eonsolnbh'. Ills good wife, endeavor ing to comfort him, quoted, "The Lord givet!i ami t'.i; Lord taketh away." "'Vs. Klizalietli. I know, but I can't see wli.it the l.onl wanted with an odd steer." "S. B. A.

Next day It was the senator who met the yo'i-ig g 'iitlcnein ami accosted him with the question: "Hid yon tret my card? I called on you this morning, or, well I called by "Yes, but I could not make out the nennlng of '8. B. A. N.' In the corner?" "Oh. that's the correct thine when you don't leave the card yourself.
