When the train steamed away, Canon, for that was the dog's name, remained looking wistfully at it as it 'spot on the horizon and then disap- peared, carrying his master out of his sight for ever, .

Trouble on the telephone lings cen- tering at Port Byron, N.Y., was found recently to be caused by a swarm of bees that had taken possession of the hive. When the seat of the trouble was discovered the bees had already started the making of comb in a corn- er. of their new home. The prob- lem of. ousting the undesirable ten- ants from the telephone box was solv- ed by stuffing the cracks with cotton saturated with carbon disulphide, which suffocated the bees. Poor tea that can be sold at a low price is most extravagant in use. A little good tea, like Salada, makes many more cups; hence it's real economy, To shine boots quickly do not blacken, but rub on a piece of orange and let the juice dry in; then polish with a soft brush and they will shine like a mirror.
