Conserving Tin Cans.

AN over the world many uses are found for used five gallon tin cans. In the Orient, Africa, Latin-America, the West and East Indies, the natives pur- chase them for innumerable purposes. There are men engaged solely in buy ing and selling these containers. The tlnsmith coverts the containers into all kinds of household utensils-lamps, cook stoves, pots baking pans, sprink- lers. small pumps, plates, measures drinking cups, rat-traps and buckets. With one face removed and glass sub- stituted therefor the can becomes dis play box for grocery stores, or rice container. Cut diagonally in two it serves as a dust pan. In Latin-Amer ican cities 1t is used by peons to cut grass in parks, beiug formed into a sort of knife. Used entire 1t is good for shipping camphor, lime, alcohol and molasses.

The nature of the sea-lion is peculiar. He has to be petted and encouraged at every stage of lesson. The trainer knows that the animal is very jealous of others who get too much of the lime- light; Quarrels among troupe ire quently follow. If a sea-lion is not in his proper position the act will not work. But most important of all, 1t is necessary to keep repeating trick until sea dog performs 1t readily How long this sometimes takes only the young men who do this work can tell.

"Boozen First Meant "Cr!nk."

The word "booze'' came to us before the fourteenth century, seemingly from the Dutch, in the form "bOus" or "bouse." At that time, as noun or verb, it meant merely "drinlS,' and to speak of gentleman as focusing" his wine was not libelous or even derOga- lory, writes Robert r. Utter in Har- pers Magazine. Somehow 1t acquired the added suggestion of excess and bad company, Tnd by the time of Shakespeare we find it in glossaries of the nrgot of thieves and gypsies. The process may be understood when we iiinH of the sinister meaning we often nttach to the simple word "drink," "hich might conccivably run the same course if we misuse it often enough.

 Before Napoleon's time 1t had been the custom eor armies to carry huge. unwieldy flags mounted on poles which, while they afforded a rallyina point for their corps, also drew the en- emy's fire. Napoleon revived the an cient symbol of the Caesars. The Ma poleonic eagle itself was 8 inches in height and g inches across the wings. It stood on a brass block 3 Inches square and weighed three and a half hounds.

 To Cut Paper.
 When you lose your knife or do not have a pair of scissors at hand for cut. ting the paper a common pin or needle of any kind serves the purpose admir- ably. says Popular Science Monthly. If 1t Is a single sheet from which the clipping is to be removed. lay the part on another paper. hold the pin slant wise 50 that tho point will follow around the clipping, just as if tracing its outline. Pass back over the scratch with the point in the lead and you will be surprised how smoothly the pin cuts the paper.
