most beautiful summer palace on the
whole north shore. For many weeks
OF the summer season he contents
himself with spending only the week
ends with his family at Eagle Rock,
as his place is called. and he comes
on from New York usually on Friday
nights IN his private car, returning to
business Monday. During the hottest
part OF the season, when he lives here
all the time, he is in daily communities
tion with his New York Office by tele-
phone.

to use his telephone must ring cen

plication to the telephone company
for. the more up-to-date device. He
was told that the only way he could
get the service he wanted was to have
his phone connected with Beverly.
Beverly is only four miles away
from the Frick mansion, and only
eight miles OF wire had to be
stretched between the Beverly ex-
change and the Frick mansion, at q
cost of only few hundred dollars, to
comply with Mr.. Frick's desire. A.
small army of telephone employees
was set to work and when Mr.. Frick
returned home from game Of golf
at the Myopia golf links and called up
his New York Office he didn't have to
exert himself by turning the crank.

Canal lono Auo Pro iected.

CanaI Long Ago FRO ojeete0.
y Il Is now nearly 400 years since the
first proposal was made for the Pana
ma canal. A canal was suggested as
early as 1920 by Angel Saavedra, but
for Q long time all such suggestions
met with determined opposition from
Spain, who made It q capital offense'
to seek or make known any improve
ment on the existing route from Porto
Bello TO Panama. More recently
Louis Napoleon, when q prisoner at
Ham, spent much time considering
the practicability Of such scheme. It
was not, however. until the California
gold rush OF 1849 that any accurate
knowledge Of the Typographical condi:
tions was obtained, and even then 80
more years elapsed before the actual
site was chosen by ar internatioal
commission and the work begun.

For School Children.

Supply the youngsters going to
school with folded paper cornucopias,
which come in sealed packages for a
small sum. These are used for drink
ing cups instead Of those found in
public places. It is wise to keep a
supply Of these paper cornucopias on
hand for those who travel and for the
shopper when in the city for a day.
Teach the children to make these use
full little drinking cups from clean
white paper, and there will be no
danger of contracting disease from q
drinking cup used BY every one who
passes by.

OLD BOILERS IN DEMAND

"A great advantage Of living In the
suburbs" said the ex-flat dweller. 'is
the chance It affords Of picking up old
boilers to use for decorative purposes
about your ground. In the city you
rarely see any Of these discarded ap
purtenances Of the kitchen. but no
large open space In the suburb Is
without q few.
AS soon as boiler wears out In
the suburban home and becomes q
menace It is promptly hauled away to
some vacant lot. to lie there until
some one decides he can make use OF
It In fixing up his grounds. OF course,
IN the city there is nothing for an old
kitchen boiler when It has to leave Its
place by the kitchen range but the
junk shop, but In the country they
scorn to treat them that way.
1T may surprise some flat dwellers
to know that they are prized high

A Good Sleeper.

'Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi- nary story of the impassiveness of Louis XVIII. When he was minister of foreign affairs d courier came to him one evening bearing unpleasant news, and he therefore postponed the communication of it to the king till next morning. when he explained that he was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his majesty's sleep. The king replied Nothing disturbs my sleep, as you may see from this ill., stance. The most dreadful blow of nay life was my brothers death. The courier who brought this dreadful HeWs arrived at S o'clock in the even iDg. For many hours 1 was quite overcome. but at midnight I went to F8ed and slept my usual eight hours The story is told by the Duchesse de Dino, Talleyrand's niece. in her mem- tyirS.
