Because it will outlast all other paints, give a handsomer finish, better protection to the wood, and the first cost will be less. If Barytes and other adulterants cf white ‘ead are “ju®t as good” mage Pure White Lead, why are all the adulterated white leads always branded Pure, or “Strictly Pure White Lead?” This Barytes is a heavy white powder (ground stone), having the appearance of white lead, worthless as a paint, costing only about a cent a pound, and is only used to cheapen the mixture. ‘What shoddy is to cloth, Barytes is to paint. Be careful to use only old standard brands of white lead. “Southern” “Collier ” “Red Seal” are strictly pure, “Old Dutch” process brands, established by a lifetime of use.

NATIONAL LEAD CO., 1 oadway, New York, ach, St. Louis Clark Avenue an FIFTEEN HUNDRED DEAD. Reports From the Storm-Swept Dis- trict Show Appalling Loss of Life. New Orleans, La., Oct. 5.—It is fair to estimate that between 1,200 and 1,500 people perished in tbe storm of Sunday. The property loss will be several mullion dollars. There were 300 or 400 craft engaged in the oyster aud fish industry, and half of these have been wrecked, turned bottom up or sunk. The re sult is a severe blow to the oyster business, with a scarcity of oysters for part of the season at least in prospect. The official census of Cheniere in 1890 showed a population of 1,047, and the officials of the parish say there was 1,500 just before the storm. ‘The census of Grand Isle in 1890 showed 550 people. Just before the storm there was 700 peo ple on the island. From persons ar riving on the Scell Beach train this morning it is learned definitely the loss of life at Pointea la Hache has now reached eighty. Fifty seven bedies were found yesterday in the vicinity of Grand. Prairie and the old quarantine station the larger part of whom were Austrian colon ists who were engaged in the oyster business on the bayous near Grani Prairie. Grand Islaud, with a population of 700, lost twenty four killed Cheniere Caminda, out of a popu lation of 1,800 lost 1,650. At Bayou Augre seventy two deaths out seventy-tive people is the result of the storm. At Bayou Dufont ten are lost out of senty-five making a total of 1, 756. The majority of the bodies are washed out to sea or washed far in- to sea or washed far into the marsh The bodies of the unfortunates re covered were found in every con- ceiyable place. Some were lying high and dry inland, where it is sup posed they were wsshed by the wat- er after death had relieved them of their sufferings. Some of the dead were buried under wreckage of houses which evidently collapsed without warning. The bodies were mutilated and torn ina most horri- ble manner. Arms and legs had been pulled from the bodies and were soon either floating in the pools in the depressions in the fields or lodged on an elevation where the water had cast them when the waves receded Coffins were out of the question, and the bodies not claimed by rela- tives or friends were interred in trenches, four or five bodies being placed in one trench. Dead bodies are floating around on every side and the situation is unparrelled in the history of the South. Inch wide ribbons are now used for bonnet ties. White Lead the best’ | HE WAS KIND. A Pleasing Story About the Late Secre- tary Windom. Speaking of the cabinet officers who gathered around Mr. Harrison's table at the beginning of his administration brings to mind the late Seeretary Win- dom. He wasakind and affable gen- tleman, and his sudden death was a shock to the country at large and a cause of grief to those who enjoyed his acquaintance, says a writer in the Wash- ington Evening Netvs. I remember an incident which showed his kindness of heart and the unosten- tatious qualities inherent in the truly great. It was an insufferably hot day in the August preceding his death, and the sun glared with blind force on the con- » of the open space between the west entrance of the treasury and the white house. On the curb of the fountain basin a half grown sparrow was making fruit- less efforts to get a drink of cool water which bubbled tantalizingly just be- yond its reach. Finally it leaned a little too far, and, losing its balance. fell overboard. Its struggles were taking it toward the center of the basin and beyond rescue. I reached out my open um- brella, and just as I was drawing him in I felta hand on my shoulder and a] hearty voice said: “Well done! [ll see that you have a life-saving medal for that.” It Mr. Windom. He was on his way to a cabinet meeting, but the af- fairs of state and the country’s finance had to wait while he assisted at the rescue of the half-drowned bird. He took the bedraggled little creature in his hand, and after smoothing its plumage laid it on the sunny terrace out of harm’s way todry. Then, invit- ing me to share his big green sun shade, we walked on to the white house. GERMAN RUDENESS. A Noted Doctor on the Uachivalric Can- duct of His Countrymen. Louise von Kobcll, who is Frau von Eisenhart, has written a book of **Con- ions of Dr. Dollinger,” lately translated into English, from which the Daily News of London has taken ex- tracts. Driven into an inn by a shower in one of their walks, he was greatly annoyed by the conduct of some young men, whoswore at the weather, smoked and called impatiently for beer. “Tobacco and alcohol are demoniacal powers,” said Dollinger, half in jest and half in earnest. “Smokers are barbar- ians. The eternal smoking of pipes and cigars by our forefathers doubtless helped to bring about the short sight which has now become he- reditary in Germany. ‘Tobacco smok- ing is the ruin of society and of chival- rous conduct toward women.” Talking of the German love of public houses, he said: ‘‘When J compare our young men with young Englishmen what a difference I find! How many spectacle-wearing, weakly, uncouth, mannerless youngsters I see here, while it is a real pleasure only to look at the boys and students in England, so vigor- ous, healthy, well grown, clean and dis- tinguished-looking in their attractive college dress.” At another time he said that if he were a legislator the first law he would introduce in Germany would be one for the protection of young girls. England and America were, he said, in advance of Germany in the treatment of women. “For instance,” he added, “I hardly think that an educated Englishman would allow his wife to fetch him his boots, slippers, cigars and newspapers, as do so many of our countrymen.” TURKEY HUNTING IN ARIZONA. The Great Slaughter Just Before Thanks- . giving Day. The Arizona bill of fare is too apt to contain only the items bacon, beans, hard bread, flapjacks and coffee three hundred and sixty-four days in the year. Thanksgiving is the exception, and no dinner is complete on that day without a turkey to remind the miner, prospector or ranchman of the old home in the east. In the southeastern section of the territory there is a creek ealled Rio Prieto, and nicknamed the “Turkey river.” -It is the only place within about two hundred miles where wild turkeys abound, but then there are enough of them in the narrow val- ley to stock a state. Just before Thanksgiving this valley is filed with hunters from every part of the territory, and the slaughter is very great; but it takes place only once a year, and the ranks will be filled up next spring and summer. Some of the hunters come so far that they have to make “jerky” of the turkey meat in order to get it home. Aminer must be very fond of turkey when he will travel one hundred miles for it, and then take it in the shape of salted and sun-dried strips and shreds, and nsually fried in a gravy of bacon, grease and flour. These turkeys are very large birds, as half a dozen are about as much as a pack-mule can carry out of the valley. Old-timers say that gobblers weighing thirty pounds have been taken out of the Prieto canyon. Prussic Acid and Peach Stones. The statement was made recently that prussic acid was made from peach stones, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo- erat. This is altogether a mistake, for, although under certain conditions a trace of the main principle of the deadly poison can be found in peach stones, there is not sufficient to produce the acid without other essential ingredients. Indeed, without the process of fer- mentation, there is no evidence at all of prussic acid in the stones. Prussic acid is composed of such things as ani- mal refuse and blood solids, with large quantities of oil of vitriol Even the smell of the acid produces pain in the throat and in the region of the heart, and there are few poisons for which there is such little opportunity for an antidote. If there is time, and there seldom is, for the poison is almost in- stantaneous in its action, ammonia in- haled very freely may give relief and reducé.the absolute certainty of death tos grave possibility.
