why Boiled Water Freezes Easily.

Water which is hot of course cannot
freeze until it has parted with it's heat;
but water that has been boiled will,
other things being equal, freeze sooner
than water which has not been boiled.
A slight disturbance of water disposes
it to freeze more rapidly, and this is the
cause which accelerates the freezing of
boiled water. The water that has been
boiled has lost the air naturally con-
tanned in it, which on exposure to the
atmosphere it begins again to attract
and absorb. During this process of alb
sorption o motion is necessarily pro-
duced among its particles, slight cer-
tainly and imperceptible, yet probably
sufficient to accelerate its congelation
In unboiled water this disturbance does
not exist; indeed water when kept per-
fectly still can be reduced several de-
grees below the freezing point without
its becoming ce.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Chained to two guards that both were grim

All day they sat by me and held me thrall-
The one was named Regret, the other Doubt.

There came an angel shining suddenly
That took me by the hand, and as rose
The chains grew soft and slipped away from

Like petals of some magic flower unfurled.

IN THE DEAD HAND,

There sings q lark song soaring
Out Of sight.

In fatal pain whose pleading
Made no cry,
Shot pierced and saber smitten,
A young and gallant Briton
Crept to die.
AT sunset there they found him
With the red snow around him,
And his hand
Laid on the Book whose healing
All hearts to heaven appealing
Understand.
And meath his frozen fingers
Those words whose hope outlingers
Human strife
Glowed like q stars reflection

And the Life"
Comrades to burial bore him,
But not deaths rending tore him
From his prize,
For to his hand caressing
Still clung the leaf whose blessing
Closed his eyes.

Words sweetest love eternal

Peace at your call comes flying,
And they who clasp you dying
Are not dead.

Maud Muller worked at raking hay,
And got more freckles day by day,
Until her face looked like side
OF leather from horses hide.

SOME OF THEM.

Some of the fellows who AVE been
given the distinction of a free advertise
ment in THE GLOBE, in the matter Of
printing their names as being gentlemen
who were owing for their paper, nave
grown ~furiously mad and some threaten
to whip the editor.
Well, the editor has his hands pretty
full all the time, but he will manage to
contest the proposition with any dead
beat or otherwise who will apply at these
headquarters. If a man takes a paper
for a wear or two and then refuses to
come and whack, it is high time and we
believe the proper caper to plant his
name in big type in the most prominent
part of the paper. 1t is protection. 1t
does the one editor no particular good,
but it gives other people warning that a
certain creature will not pay for what he
has received.
White paper costs money and printers
must be paid. Taxes, rents and work oil
all sorts cost money-take money. And

after will print their names as it learns
them-and all are invited to call at theil
own convenience. Our office hours are

y FELLOWS.

A crowd of kids-little punnY cusses-
their fathers had bought them all they
wore, sat over'the way about three days
ago and yelled at people. They were
the small Smart Alexis of the town
the JOE DANDIEs, the cheap fools. They
sat there on a pine box and they laughed
at the people and they giggled and they
smoked cigarettes. Some day they will
be men if an All Wise creator concludes
to make a horrible example, and then
they will dead beat peOple-they will
sponge upon a community ever as they
now sponge upon their parents.
And here comes a question Is not the
father to blame when he allows his son
to grow up in idleness and the filth Of to-
bacco and corr whiskey? Is the son re
sponsible to himself? He is responsible
to society and here is a distinction yet
the difference is not in sight.
Those boys, if they were created, have
a mission which they could perform.
COP ALMIGHTY never made a man to sit
around on a dry goods box and pose as a
sign for a soup house. Men make wooden
images of Indians and other things-but
the great creator never made a sign. All
his work is for other purposes. Creation
does not b!under, and these cheap chumps
of whom we speak were certainly blum
ders and as they had nothing to do it
seems that all hands were ashamed of
them.
The sorriest day in the history Of a
young man is when he sits down and
wears the clothes which his father
bought for him, and does not try to re-
pay the bill. 1t is nice to be a loafer. 1t
is elegant to be a dude. But there are
more young fools in Durham going to
hell we the oilers route than some
people imagine. The kids should be
hitched to a pillow and earn cigarette
money at least.
