Tit-Bits tells of droll mistake made
by an imaginative old dame who. having
permitted telegraph pole to be placed
just by the side Of her house waited up
on the telegraph officials to complain
that she could get no sleep Of night
being kept awake by the noise made by
the messages passing over her head
Il don't think, sir, said she, you can
be aware of all that's said along them
wires. There's a deal that hadn't ought
to be. | can assure you, sir. that very
much that's said there. that have 10 lie
and listen to, is such as no decent WON
an ought to hear; and hope you will put
a stop TO it,"
The amused gentleman was hardly
able to meet the accusation with due
gravity: but he did contrivc to keep his
countenance while he informed the old
lady that the young men who had hither
to worked the wires were under notice Of
dismissal, and that in future only young
women of great responsibility would be
employed so there would be no danger
Of her propriety being shocked again.

Something New,

1t has always been conceded that no
ordinary paint equalled an enamel for
all interior decorative purposes, as the
former does not give the beautiful
smooth. mirror-lke surface that the
latter does.
The economical housewife of to-day
has the walls, bath room and bedrooms
enameled. as once done it lasts for
years. Rubbed with a soft cloth once
III while, such rooms are kept clean
and healthy with practically no labor.
Old articles of furniture are made to
look like new with a coat of enamel
and give good service for years when
otherwise it would have been neces-
sary to discard them.
In the past the price Of enamel has
been almost double that of paint, but
Florentine Enamel Colors are sold at
the same price as ordinary mixed paint
and come ready for use. This brand Of
enamel is put up in twenty-three colors
