The advantages

of using genuine white lead for painting surfaces, especially iron work, have been known for years, but an instance mentioned by Sir William Arrol will serve to impress the fact on the memory. Some years ago he purchased the materials of old Hammersmith Uridge for the purpose of using a portion in erecting a temporary plant at one of his large undertakings. The iron work has been in position sixty-two years, and many of the parts, owing to inaccessibility, had not been painted since they were placed in position. Finding them in so remarkable a state of preservation Sir William Arrol had some of the paint analyzed, when it was found to be genuine white lead.

The young people whiled away the fleeting hours with music, songs and games, and bountiful refreshments consisting of cake, cream and coffee were served by the host and hostess and their assistants, and as the Sabbath morning dawned the young people departed expressing their pleasure and singing the sweet old song, "God be with you till we meet again," and feeling that it had been good to be there. Those invited were: Mr. and Mrs. 1!. A. Arehey, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Fraley, Dr. ami Mrs. Lotland, Mr. and Mrs. George Rusk, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Arehey, Misses Emma Arcliey. Virgie McDill.

HOW THEY TOLD THEM APART.

Soft Dolled on the SqmiYe nuil Hard ltoiled on the Oval. "In a country hotel where 1 had stopped for supper," said a traveler, "I saw on the table some boiled eggs. As I reached for them the waitress said: 'Do you like them hard or soft boiled?' 'Soft,' I said. 'The soft boiled are in the other dish,' said the waitress. "Then, as I looked the other way on the table, I saw another dish of eggs. But they looked precisely like those In tho first dish, and I wondered how anybody could tell them apart if thoy should ever get mixed up. As long as they were kept at the ends of the table where they were first placed it would be very simple, but suppose some polite guest should say to his neighbor: 'Will you have the eggs?' "And suppose the man should say 'Yes, thank you,' and take them, and suppose one dish should in this way work along the table until it was alongside the other or, for that matter, suppose the dishes should change places, as they might easily do, who could tell which was hard and which was soft? I found myself rather amused by this idea, and 1 asked the waitress thej- could tell which was which. 'Why, the soft boiled are in the square dish and the hard boiled are in the oval dish.' "Then I stopped talking for quite a spell, for it seemed clear to me that I was in some things not an intellectual giant."

AN INDIAN GHOST STORY.

It l)eficrllK»n an AU-Night Contest Between a Young Ilrave and a Spook. Among the ghost stories with amoral which have been told a thousand times by Indians who claim a knowledge of ancient history and unseen wonders, one deals with the power achieved by certain celebrated chiefs by fighting with and overcoming superhuman objects. The story runs that a young Indian of exceptional strength was stopped one winter's night by a terri-blu-looking object something like a human being, but very tall and devoid of arms or legs. It had every appearance of a corpse, except that it fought with great activity. The unequal and uncanny contest continued through the night, but as day bega-n to dawn the young man caught a strong hold upon his adversary and refused to let him go. lie continued the fight until he was insensible, and when he recovered his reason he found himself battered all over and badly injured. Hut he ignored the pain becauso he was told by the wise men of his tribe that having fought a ghost without being worsted he would have superhuman power to the end of his days. This proved to be correct, for ho was able single-handed to fight a whole squad of men, and rigors of climate had no fears for him. This story Is told in connection with the very old superstitution that the man who conquers a ghost can conquer the world.

Glad to £ee Thi'in.

Three American women abroad one pleasant Sunday morning dropped into a chapel in the west of Ireland during service. The priest, who had just begun the celebration, saw the strangers out of the tail of his eye. There were

pews in the chapel. So the reverend father, hastily summoning tho big boy who was serving him, whispered: "Three chairs for the American ladies, Michael three chair for the American ladies.'' The boy looked astonished for a moment and then walked briskly to the altar rail and facing the kneeling congregation of peasants and the three strangers, he yelled at the top of his voice: "Three cheers for the American ladies." The congregation and the priest, and the American ladies, too, were paralyzed at the unexpected outburst. Hut the good father saw instantly that he had been misunderstood, and went quietly on with the service as if nothing remarkable had happened. As for the dear American ladies, they

A THANKSGIVING HEAR.

Night Hunt In a Canoe—Two Duckings and One Bear.

The homes of the Duncans and Taylors were situated near the Little lied, a swift stream that flowed through a region but little opened as yet and still Inhabited by the animals of the wes^

Indeed, bear roamed at will through the dense canebrakes, and not infrequently made reprisals on the scattered settlers. Wolves, too, abounded in tho region, and in winter their long dismal howling made the cold nights hideous.

The Duncan and Taylor boys—Roy and Phil—had been companions from childhood, and when their parents settled in the new country they were iu their element, as they could roam the woods, or paddle down the Little Red, every now and then picking up a bear or turkey with their trusty rifles.

It was not long before they became known as tho best young Xlinrods iu the whole district, and whenever thoy started on a hunt it was taken for granted that they would return with a well-filled bag.

One of their favorite methods of bagglne wild game was by the firehunt, and these adventures generally took place on the river. They would Bet up their torch in the canoe, and while paddling up stream, or lloating with the current, would by its light see tho eyes of the bear or ileer on shore, and a shot was pretty sure to bring down the fascinated targets. 'Ihe night before Thanksgiving Phil Taylor strolled over to the Duncan homestead with a proposition almost sure to find favor with his young coinpanion. This was nothing less than a fire hunt on tho river for the purpose of, as Phil expressed it, "bagging a Thanksgiving bear."

We can float past the big brakes near the bend," saitl lie, as he laid his proposition before Roy. "Tom Hunter, who came through there the other day, saw lots of fresh signs, and we may be able to get a big one for tomorrow's feast." 1 aken with the prospect of some exciting adventure, Roy at once acquiesced, and the two boys began to prepare for the fire-hunt. The canoe was dragged forth and the pine knots for the torch gathered and made ready. A torch of pine knots, if fashioned properly, will throw a fierce glare for many rods over the water, and animals will come to the shore and gaze at it, fascinated, as It were, until the unerring bullet of the hunter in the canoe terminates their careers.

The young hunters of the Little Red I waited with some impatience for nightfall, and when the hour came they launched their canoe and sprang into it. The torch had been placed in the stern of the boat, and Phil, who was to have the first shot, took his seat underneatli it, In such a position that the light, streaming over him and from behind, would throw its radiance along the shore, thus revealing the gleaming eyes of wolf or bear, but without tho glare dazzling his own eyes.

In some places the river was dangerous on account of unseen rocks, over which the water boiled like a eauldron, while in others canoeing was perfectly safe but the bo3Ts knew the I stream well and had paddled it on I many occasions after dark. Taking the paddles Roy, with a sharp lookout along the shore, drove tho light bark into the middle of the river, wliil®. Phil under the torch watched the tall canoes that lined the edge and tried to catch the first sight of game.

The night was calmly beautiful, and the paddles made no noise in the water as the canoe swept down stream. As they neared tho bend where they expected to oatch sight of a living target Phil and Roy increased their watchfulness. All at once the paddles in Roy's supple hands seemed to rest, and he glanced at his companion. Phil at the same moment had seen what had caught Roy's eye.

On tho right, where the tall canes seemed to seek the solitude of the stars, gleamed a pair of intense eyes, very close together, and near tho ground. "It is'olil Ephraitn," whispered Phil, as he moved his rillc and leaned forward for a better look. "We have found our Thanksgiving bear at lastl"

The canoe had reached a quieter place in the current and Roy had brought it to anchor there "Don't miss him," he said to Phil. "In all my life I never saw eyes shine no. I believe I can make out the outlines of the bear's head."

Slowly, witJi a cool hunter's deliberation, Phil lifted the rifle to his shoulder, and while he watched the shining eyes, Iloy seemed to hold his breath. The crack of the weapon awoke the echoes along the shore, and as the smoke lifted both boys leanetl forward with eagerness and looked toward the shore. "You missed him!" cried Roy. "No. Look yonder! The old fellow lias tumbled into the water and is in the death struggle. Quick! Row toward him before the. eddy sucks him In. We shall lose the bear if we are not careful."

Roy needed no urging to force the canoe through the water toward the spot where something was splashing among the rocks, and Phil, who had reloaded, was watching for another shot, as he saw that the bear was desperately wounded, though not yet quite conquered.

As the canoe neared the spot there was a sudden plunge on the part of the animal, and the huge bulk vanished for a moment. "Lost!" exclaimed Roy.

Before Phil could reply, something dark and wet rose almost underneath the frail canoe, and the next moment he saw the taffrail in the grip of a bear. The great paws, looking doubly formidable in the unsteady lightof the torch, with tho weight of the bear, threatened to overturn tho bout, and the ugly head with wide mouth bleeding from the boy's shot, was enough to send chills of terror to the Niinrodi' heartB. "Back offl" cried Pliil, as he sav/ that the canoe was almost au.ong the rocks and liable to be capsized by their foe.

Rsyj»rang g.jaejj t^thg paddled,

as l'hll rose in the Doat to thrust tin rifle into the bear's face and terminate tho contest, tho animal made a desperate effort to c4imb aboard.

The situation was now full of peril and the rooking of tho boat in the swift waters caused the torch to seatter a rain of fire over the devoted boys and the boar, but tho beast only blinked his little eyes and redoubled his efforts to scale tlie fragile rampart.

Finding that he could not get a shot at the bear as Roy backed the boat off, Phil struck with all his might with the gun, bringing the heavy stock down upon the huge head. He shattered tho weapon by the blow, while he apparently left the skull of his antagonist uninjured.

In another movement the bear lunged forward again, and the canoe at the same time striking a rock was •apsized, spilling its occupants into tho water and .putting out the torch. All this happened in a second, as it seemed, and tho boys thus thrown into tho stream, and at the mercy of the bear and ourrent, struggled to right the canoe and clamber In again.

After awhile they succeeded, and Roy, who was fortunate enough to retain one paddle, pushed the boat from the rocks and sent Itoutinto the river, where it was caught iu a swift current and earried along like a feather. "Ihis Is better than drowning among the rocks—or being eaten up by the bear," said Phil, as he looked back. "Hut we've lost our Thanksgiving bear steak, 1 guess." "Lost the bear?" cried Roy, sharply, as his face whitened. "Look yonder. He is still clinging to the stern of the boat."

This was true, as could be seen by the moonlight which at that particular plaee fell through the trees upon the eddying waters. Tho two boys stared at the homely head lifted above the tido and at the sharp claws that seemed to dig their way into the woodwork at stern. Tho bear held on with a death grip as tho current bore the canoo and the young Nimrods rapIdly down tho stream, now narrowly missing some half-sunken tree, and now nearly capsizing again as Roy tried to escape a hidden rock. "What shall we do?" cried Phil at last, as he turned a frightened face toward his companion. "The bear is determined to prove our Jonah, and in a short time we shall reach the falls." "Cut him Toose," said Roy. "You have your knife, haven't you?"

Phil hailed tho suggestion with a cry of joy, and brought from the depths of his pocket a big jack-knife, and In another moment he leaned toward the bear in their wake.

Instead of striking at the throat, which was exposed, he drove the keen blade into ono of tho feot, near the root of the claws, and drew It toward him. The bear growled savagely, but Phil bravely faced the beast, and severed tho other foot likewise. "A tree! A tree!" rang out Roy's voice at this moment, and before Phil could duck his head the canoe struck the obstacle in the middle of the Little Red, and in a jiffy they were in the water again and struggling to grasp the limbs of the lodged tree.

In this they were successful, and when thoy had drawn themselves up among the branches thoy looked at one another with grim smiles. They knew that they were destined to pass the night in the tree, which they did, and when day came they found themselves near a plantation.

By dint of shouting until they were hoarse they made themselves heard, and were rescued by several plantation hands, ono of whom discovered the bear lodged in another tree a little farther down the river. The animkl was dead, and when he was drawn ashore the boys related their thrilling experience with his beat-ship the night before.

A wagon was procured and the homeward journey began, and in ample seasou for dinner the boys arrived with the Thanksgiving bear.

The canoo, which had been swept underneath the tree, was never found, but Phil and V.oy were willing to lose it since they had saved themselves and tho well-won body of Old Epliraira but the next Thanksgiving, and the next, they were careful to provide for by daylight, for their thrilling firehunt on the Little Red was not soon forgotten.—Cleveland Leader.
