DESCRIBING THE ANIMAL DOG
His Names Derived From the Latin
Word Canic and He Comes In
All Sizes and Shapes.

The dog Is carnivorous quadruped,
and comes in many sizes and shapes.
His name is derived from the Latin
word canic, meaning dog. We would
start with the greyhound, but we are
afraid we cannot keep up with him,
as he is very rapid old dog In.

The dachshund, a German creation, Is
a crazy-looking specimen of a dog
His name translated, means "animat-
ed frankfurter." He has the longest
span between abutments of anything
known to man except the Brooklyn
bridge. Pat him on the head and he
will wiggle his tail five minutes later.
Dachshunds do not thrive in small
flats. That is because going out Of
one door Of room they often meet
themselves coming in another, and
the frequent collisions cause soften.

low Tal,ors Sew en- Buttons.

Tailors double their thread used to
sew on buttons and make knot and
hold the knot in the teeth while they
twist the thread, then they wax it,
and that keeps it twisted.
Then they put a pin across the but
ton and after the buttons are sewed
on they remove the pin and wind the
thread around several times, making
a kind of stem. This makes 1t more
easy to button the garment. The
buttons on chiidren's waists should
be sewed In this way SO more than
one garment can be buttoned on the
same waist--National Magazine.

To Keep on Pumps.

When pumps slip at the heels and
are too loose, paste a piece of velvet
in the back, with the nap side out.
If the shoes still spread, take them
to shoemaker and have him put In

of elastic which is tightly fastened.

are too big may be made more com.

Table Decoration.

An inexpensive table decoration
noted by Harpers Bazaar is as follows:
A crepe paper rose is hung from the
chandelier, ribbons coming to each
plate. The centerpiece is large vase
of roses with roses around the base.
The bonbon dishes are tall glasses,
and the favors are roses painted on
cardboard. Baskets of roses are on
either side of the table.

WATER POWER BOOSTING
CANADA.

Recent engagements OF the gener
ating plants of the hydro-electrie
power companies on the Canadian
side of Niagara Falls call attention t.
the rapidly growing demand in the
province of Ontario for this modern
form of energy, and are Leading to
apprehension as to the effect Of this
expansion upon industry on the Amer
lean side Of the border. Six years
ago less than 5000 horse power from
Niagara Falls was sold in Canada
Now sales amount to about 100, 000
horse power, while one OF the three
companies In the field announces that
by 1913 1t will have ready two addi.
tional generating units OF 10000
horse power each to meet the increas-
ing demands OF its Canadian hnsiMss
There is limit to this growth. /,
is found in the recently-negotiated
treaty for protecting the scenic beau
ty of. the Falls, by which Canada is re
stricted to a maximum of $4,000 cubic
feet of water second, and the Uni.
ted States to 10000 cubic feet a sec
ond-in all only small fraction of the
total flow. The United States is al
ready using all but 1000 cubic feet
of her allowance, Canada about half
of hers.
Tho Uaited States would be using
her full amount but for the fact that
the treaty Is not yet fully operative
in this country. BY an old law, run
ming until March 4, 1918, industries
on the American side of the Falls are
limited to $1,000 cubic feet of water
second. while Importation Of electri
cal current from Canada is restricted
to 10000 horse power. The latter
provision. intended to safeguard the
Horseshoe Falls, was devised at a
time when the Canadian government,
afforded the cataract no protection
Under the treaty the protection is
ample and permanent, and when the
treaty becomes operative the restric.
ton will he removed.
What is worrying business men OF
western New York is that while they
wait for the treaty to give them 4,40O
cubic feet additional water and to re.
move the limit on importation Of
power new industries are passing
them by and locating in Canada. This
means not only loss of the industries
themselves, but the absorption OF
Canada's limited quota of hydro-elec.
trio energy, SO that when unrestrict
ed importation of power is finally per
mitted, Canada may be using all the
treaty permits her u develop, and
there may be none left to import in.
