HOUSEHOLD MATTERS :
Out of the Rag Bag.

Years ago, fbefore wpmen's clubs
aourished, patchwork quilts and hit
and miss" carpets were made to the
babble of feminine. tongues and the
clink of tea }cups. To7day, alas! we
are all too lbusy for such waste OF
time, yet really artistic porteries can
be made by knitting long bits, with
two large needles, into one another,
II is not laborious and is quaint
enough to be interesting. A beautl-
full curtain can be made from thin
silks, a hollyhock for 'sundower on a
background of like>stua, cut out, laid
ON a design and joined with narrow,
black velvet ribbon. Against north
window the effect is excellent. A few
Yards of clean new rag carpet is IN.
finitely nicer than cheap rug OF
crude colors. 1t harmonizes with the
wicker chairs, the log fire and the
bowls of wild flowers in the summer
living room. 4

THE COLOR OF SNOW.
why It Il Generally White, but Some
times Red,

times Red,
The white color Of snow Is the re-
suit of the combination of the different
prismatic rays issuing from the minute
snow crystals. Pounded glass and
foam give analogous illustrations OF
the prismatic colors blending together
and forming the white light out OF
which they had been originally formed.
The air contained in the crystals in
tensiaes the whiteness Of the snow
The snow from its loose texture and
the fact that it contains about ten
times its bulk of air is very bad con-
ductor Of heat, and thus forms an ad-
mirable covering for the earth from
the effects of radiation, 1t not infre-
quently happening in times Of great
cold that the soil is forty degrees
warmer than the surface of the over
lying snow.
The apparent redness Of snow as
seen from a distance is often an effect
of light which adds a peculiar charm
to mountain and winter landscapes,
particularly in the mornings and ev-
enings, when the rays Of the sun fall
most obliquely on the surface of tile
snow. But snow is occasionally found
both in Polar and Alpine regions Of a
really red color This phenomenon
seems to have been observed by the
ancients, as a passage in Aristotle ap-
parently refers to it; but 1t attracted
no attention in modern times till 1850
when>Saussure observed 1t in the Alps
and fnom chemical experiments con-
eluded that the red color was owing
10 the presence Of some vegetable sub
stances which he supposed might be
the pollen of . plant. The next obser.
yations on red snow were made In the
Arctic expedition under Capt. Ross
when 1t was found extending over &
range of cliffs on the shore of Baffin':
Bay for eight miles, the red color pen
etrating the snow in some places to {
depth of twelve feet. On the return O
the expedition in 1919 the coloring mat

Women of Thibet.

In no other country, perhaps, is a
woman's lot so hard as in Thibet, "the
forbidden land" where civilization has
never penetrated. Women are forced
to do all the mental labor, are treated
worse than beasts, and have absolutely
no amusements. They are constantly
kept shut up in their dark cave-like
homes, seldom being allowed to appear
in public OF to visit friends. At IA a
eiri Is married to some man who Is
willing to pay her parents small
qusatity of food or clothing by way
of dowry. The marriage ceremony is
Simple. The girls father ties a rope
about his daughters neck and drags
her to her future husbands abode. The
man pays what is considered a fair
sum, in food or clothing, and she Is
henceiorth his wife.

Lobster ID Scarce.

hers would not turn out to be lob

lives in the ocean and not social sea,
is in demand on every festive occa-

more highly appreciated in the future
than in the past, for he is becoming
scarce. In Massachusetts there Is much
alarm over the decline in the lobster
fisheries along the coast Of that state
The catch last year was 175,000 less

crease the output by planting eggs

Chinese Pawnbroker.

One of the most curious ways of
raising ready money practieed by the
impecunious is the hypothecation OF
soiled linen. The bankers are the
Chinese laundrymen, whose places are
so numerously scattered over the city.
When needy individual has no other
collateral to putNQp fer short loan he
finds in John friend in need, who is
always ready to make an advance on q
bundle OF shirts, collars or cuffs. Very
often the loan almost equals the value
of the security, but John shrewdly
reasons that his customer will let
other claims go by default before he
will forfeit the shirts and collars SO
necessary in making presentable APP
pearance.
The custom of making use of the
laundryman as an uncle" is said to
have originated in San Francisco, and
was brought eastward by returning
travellers from the Pacific slope
