Concern For A Dog A «irions incident, according to a ! cable dispatch from Madrid, held up ; hostilities for a time on that blood- drenched battleground. It seems that somehow or other a collie dog had wandered on to the danger zone and was rushing back and forth between the opposing trenches in a. state of terror. Both, sides ceased fire for a whole hour, but the dog refused to leave and was eventually dispatched.

Journal, Housing in Quebec ■ It will be admitted that in Canada we are already behind from the point of viow of sanitary lodgings. This delay may be due to a number of causes.
