The Hiss of Hot Iron.

Why does hot iron make d Kissing
sound when thrust into water?
That y one Of the common things
that majority Of people, old a.
well as Young. do not stop to think
about. The explanation is quite
simple: Tie hot iron converts into
steam the water particles with which
il comes in contact. and as the steam
flies upward in escaping it passes
other water PARTICLES not vet evap-
GRATED. The collision thus caused
produces verv rapid vibrations in
the Kissing noise.

on top OF the oven plate as near the

burn brightly.
Ii vcu notice after banking your
fire at night with ashes yon will find
much less ashes in the morning than

that the ashes are consumed. When
taking up the ashes sift them into
a shallow pan or box and dampen
them: then. when the morning ire

try putting on the damp ashes, a

ORIGIN OF WEDDING CAKE.
Heman Msitens Carried Three Ears ef
Wheat to the Altar,

When in ancient or imperial Rome
a maiden was welded according TO
confarreation she always carried
three ears Of wheat in her hand.
while over her head was broken a
simple cake of far and mola salsa as
a presage of plenty and an ample
abundance of the good things of
life.
In this primitive custom, then,
We see the germ from which grew
the elaborate plum !oayes and dain-
tily beribboned boxes Of luscious
richness that form 50 conspicuous a
feature of our marriage feasts to-
DAY.
The bridal wreath OF an early
English bride was likewise fashion
ed Of bearded tand sometimes GID
ed) wheaton spikes, while on her re-
turn from church corn and other
cereals were showered upon her and
then carefully gathered up and con-
sumed by the wedding guests. In
this also We recognize rude an
cestor of modern fashion-that of
svIGding newly married PAIR on IN
a small blizzard Of hard, snowy rice.
In the course of time, however,
the golden grain was ground and
made into large, thin, dry biscuits,
which were gayly shattered above
the blushing maids flowing locks
and then distributed among the BY
ISLANDERS. To this day. too. in some
portions Of highland Scotland ii is
still customary for the best man and

cake over d Young wife a. she crosses
