Using Second Hand Tin Cans.

Economy may be the secret Of wealth,
but there are cases where it does not pay
to economic too closely. A method Is in
use, and has been recently patented, Of
using again old tin cans from which peas
lobster, salmon and other edibles have
been removed. The practice may prove q
pernicious one and the cans should be
relcgated to the furnace and rolling mill
before being again used for canning food.
At best, cans are never preserved, after
the food has been removed. In 6 very

origin TIE Hapsburgs were Swiss And if
the Emperor Francis Joseph be not. strictly
speaking, an Austrian, still less is he Hun

king Of the Belgians is "a Saxe-Coburg; the

Italy a Savcyard; the king of Roumania and
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria are botn for

nasty III Sweden was born at Pau less than a
century and quarter ago; the car is Hol-
stein Gottorp, and the king of the Hellenes is
likewise a Holsteiner. Even in our own
royal family there is very little English blood
left. The Hohenzollerns were originally Sua-

partly Swiss. Neither was the historic house
