WHY THE BOILER BURSTS.



of the Kitchen
When you hear the kitchen boiler
cracking their is no cause for alarm.
There is a prevailing impression that
the cracking is produced by steam
and that there is, therefore, an in
creased pressure on the boiler at such
times. But this is an error If the
boiler is in good condition, with the
water turned on as usual, SO that the
boiler is kept filed, the only pres
sure that it is subjected to is the same
as that in the water pipes, from which,
of course, there never is the slightest
danger. And this is true, matter
how hot the water in the boiler may
be- The reason is very simple. AS
long as the boiler is kept full of wa
ter there is no room for steam. If you
open the hOt-water cock the water
pours out and steam rises from it be-
cause it then has a chance to escape
into the air. In other words rapid
evaporation takes place. But as the
hot water pours out water from the
pipes rushes in to take its place, and
thus the boiler is kept full. The
cracking noise referred to is heard
when the water is unusually hot and
is nothing but the expansion of the
boiler under the influence of that heat.
1t is in no degree an indication of dan
ger, unless, indeed, the boiler is worn
out defective, which is a matter
entirely outside of what we are now
considering. When a kitchen boiler
explOdes it is generally because a fire
has been kindled in the range while
the boiler was empty. 1t happens
sometimes when people come back to
town after spending the summer away
The fire heats the boiler, of course,
and when the water is turned on it is
converted suddenly and violently into
steam, and the boiler cannot stand the
enormous pressure Fortunately, few
persons are thoughtless enough or
silly enough to build fire before
opening the cocks connecting the boil
er with the water pipes.

Tourist postal cards are extremely
popular on the continent of Europe
On this side the water the people seem
to be too busy to think about them
but in Germany city hamlet, no
place of historical interest is without
these cards embellished with some de-
sign appropriate to the locality, which
offer convenient means of communi-
cation with friends at home. Last
summer, according to the German
postoff1ce returns. over 20.o00,00 cards

Irregular Breeding.

Mr. F. w. Hodson, former superin-
tendent of Farmers Institutes for On
tario, in the course of an address be-
fore the Live Stock Associations of
Ontario, said: A serious fact which
you should consider is that the av-
erage quality of Ontario horses, cattle
and sheep are not as good as they
were twenty years ago. Why is this ?
One reason, and an important one, is
tat Canadian farmers are not tena-
cious enough nor persistent enough.
Let me illustrate A farmer will buy
a Cotswo1d ram and perhaps a eve
or two, and will call himself a Cots
void breeder for period. Some other
breed will become popular, we will
say ShropShires. He will float out
with the tide and buy a Shropshire
ram and produce some very good cross
breeds, and he will be loud in the

Their downy nest, where every year
They came build and sing;
They seemed to love the spot and there,
Their tender song. soft prayer,
Breathed welcome to the spring
The morning long I watched them weave
With patient care beneath the cave,
Their soft and downy home:
I heard them sing their tender lay,
Their song of hope. that some near day
Nestlings would to it come
And I now what then I
But vaguely, that one common law
Rules birds we'll men,
And glowing in every breast
Is that home-1oVe, the first and best,
Which bids build the dear home nest
As doth the little wren
