Housekeepers as a rule do not under
stand why it Is the hot water pipe
is the first to freeze in very cold wealth
er. They think that 1t ought to be the
other way around-that hot water
ought to withstand the low tempera-
ture longer than cold water will. That
does seem reasonable, but a little in
vestigation shows us that It Is not. Hot
water freezes more quickly than cold
water for several reasons. In the first
place, the boiling of water expels the
air from it, and water will not freeze
until it has parted with its air. In the
second place, there Is always n slight
agitation on the surface of hot water,
and this promotes congelation by as
sisting the crystals to change their po-
sltion until they ssum that most IA
vorable to qualification. Then the
particles in hot water divide into small
er globules by reaso of the heat, and
less resistance Is therefore offered to
the cold than in cold water.

Honey. n Of the most nutritious
and delicate of foods, should be eaten
more than it Is" said a cooking expert.
Bought in the comb, it is bound to be
unadulterated, and this pure honey
will keep its friends free from sore
throat and bronchial troubles. l have
not had a sore throat since six years
ago l took to eating honey. My doc
tor tells me he often recommends hon
ey, with excellent results, for diseases
of the throat. Honey is excellent to
use instead Of sugar for sweetening
cakes. 1t gives the cakes Il most de-
llghtful flavor. 1t Is also excellent in
place of butter on hot biscuit, on toast
and on buckwheat cakes. l know a
number of ONE who use honey as a
cosmetic. They apply it to the skin,
rub it In well, then wash 1t off with
hot water. The result is a finer tex
tured complexion, a glowing color. a
young. fresh look"

A PATERNAL CRITICISM.
Dir Henry IrvinE's Comment IN Ills
SONS Early Hamlet.

Dir Henry IrvinE's Comment on HIS
sons Early Hamlet.
H. B. Irving, son of Sir Henry Irv-
ing, was not educated primarily for the
stage. Studying for the profession of
barrister, while he was still in college
he took part in amateur theatricals.
An amusing story is told of n Of his
earlier interpretations Of the difficult
role of Hamlet. On this particular n
early occasion, however. Sir Henry
was out in 'front.'" and after the per
Torrance several, including his son,
crowded about him for an expression
Of opinion.
what do you think of Smith as Po-
lonius" asked one.
Good, very good" murmured Sir
Henry in his quiet, kindly way.
"And Miss Blank as OpheliaT I"
"Good, very good" again murmured
Sir Henry.
"And Jones as the king7"
"Good. very good" repeated Sir
Henry.
"And Thomas as Horatio?"
"Good. very good" came the answer.
So the entire cast was gone through
with the exception Of the principal
character, and each received the same
precise. neat criticism, good, very
good" Then there was a slight pause,
an awkward pause, after which the
son, who had been waiting eagerly and
anxiously for his fathers opinion about
his acting. managed to pluck up
enough courage to stammer, But, ia
ther-what did you think of-the rest
Of the cast?"
Sir Henry looked blandly at his son
and then remarked dryly, "Are you
sure that you want to be an actor, my
son :"-Bohemian Magazine.

Instructive Picty of the Irish Gael.
AS DR.. Douglas Hyde pointed out,
''the Irish Gael is pious by nature.
There Is not an Irishman in Il hundred
in whom is the making of an unbe-
lever. God Is for him assured, true,
Ineligible. When he meets a neighbor.
instead of saying Bon jour or Good
morning he says God salute you.'"
Indeed, all the ordinary invocations
and salutations Of the Irish language
are governed by this religious feeling.
"When he takes snuff from you he
will say. The blessing Of God be with
the souls Of your dead II a sudden
wonderment surprises him he will cry
"A thousand laudations to Cod and If
he be shown a young child OF anything
else for the first time he will say
Prosperity from God on it.'"-Londou

MAN N MONEY.
The Change That often Comes With
the Acquisition OF Wealth.

The transforming power Of money
the moment II gets into a mans pos
session is one Of the unsolved mys-
terieS Of the universe. OF course we
know that the poison Of avarice and
greed is in the character and not IN
the money, but il Is unfortunate that
the possession Of money Gems to de-
yelop, to bring out, some Of the worst
human qualities, qualities which never
develop III poverty or show themselves
under ordinary circumstances.
Before we get possession Of money
we feel sure that we will not allow il
to warp and twist our ideals. We are
going to show the world a sane use of
money. We are going to help every
body. We are going to help struggling
merit, assist poor boys and girls to get
al education and to get q start in the
world. We are going to be helpful and
useful In the largest possible way.
But it Is Il strange trait in human
nature that, no matter how humble or
democratic or helpful and companion
able people may be while poor, just as
soon as the average man gets more
than his fellows he begins to domineer
Owe them and to use the very wealth
which he was SO anxious to get to en-
able him to help his fellow mel tc

What Breathing Amounts To.

In each respiration an average adult
inhales one pint Of air. \ man respires
sixteen to twenty times a minute. and
a young child about twenty five to
thirty-ive times. While In a standing
posture the number Of respirations Is
greater than when lying down. A man
takes only thirteen breaths Of air to the
minute while reclining. The superficial
surface Of the lungs is POO square
yards. The amount Of air inspired by
an adult In twenty-four hours Is about
10000 quarts. The least amount Of air
needed by an adult in II hour Is $50
quarts. The heart sends through the
lungs 5000 gallons of blood daily.

THE LEGISLATIVE MILL.
Fuel Shortage In Montana Will Be
Subject Of investigation.

HELENA, Feb. 1.-The coal situa.
ton in Montana. both as to supply
and price is to be investigated by q
legislative committee. The house at
its session this afternoon adopted q
resolution offered by MacAulsy, of
Silver Bow, with that object in view.
Speaker King under the resolution
is to name the members of the com.
mittee.
That there are some senators not
satisfied with the action o. tho house,
which yesterday killed the Gray reap
portionment bill, was indicated today
when Senators Amin and Sanders
gave notice OF the proposed introduce
ton of similar measures.
The senate transacted considerable
routine business, but there was no
special feature during the session.
The house had q busy day, holding
two sessions. It's most important &C
ton was the killing of q bill to com
pei the railroads to furnish cars fol
carlot shipments. 1t was claimed tina
| such q would be harmful Il
the shippers and not relieve the situa
ton.
AS a result of the four weeks ses
sion the number of bills introduced !,
the house now exceeds 200. The rec
ord is equal, If it does not exceed
previous legislatures.
The governor signed the following
bills today: House bill IA, to pa,
Judges sitting for other judges: hous
substitute for house bills , and IL
creating the Thirteenth judicial dis
trict, and two bills appropriate
money to pay the reform school de-
ficiency and the incidental expenses {

all things, decomposes under the touch

WOULD REPEAL LICENSES.
State Senate Favors Removal Of Tax
On Montana Industries.

HELENA, Jan. 31.-The most inter.
esting matter before the Legislature
today was senate bill No. II, McCone,
to repeal professional and business
licenses. 1t vas before the cen ate for
passage and was strenuously opposed
by Senator White, who thought the
bill was right in principle, but that
the state could not spare the revenue
from the licenses.
~ think the tax is aniust," de.
clared Senator Everett. I'VE hear q
whole lot about our being the richest
OF states, by no means bankrupt, yet
we are asked to maintain this kind of
an antiquated law on our statutes. 1t

constitutional amendment and not tax

in order to raise revenue. The con.
%stitutiou never Seems to trust US. Let
us tax everybody equally, not shoul.
der the tax on a few who are engaged
in business"
10 the senate standing committees
recommended that the following bills
be passed:
Senate bill As, by White, regulat.
ing the resignation of corporation d.
rectOrs.
Senate bill Al, accepting the expert
ment station government appropria-
ton.
House bill Al, giving the boiler in.
spector a clerk.
The senate concurred in house bills
"a, 81 and y to pay the deficiencies of
the Orphans home, state examiner
and state auditor.
The house in committee of the whole
this afternoon killed the Gray bill
providing for a reapportionment of
representation in the lower house.
The vote by which the report was
adopted was Al to 25, so there is little
prospect that the subject will again
come before this assembly.
The house also killed the bill pro-
viding that the Office of state mine in.
spector be made elective instead of
appointive. This measure met its end
on an unfavorable committee report.
The bill amending the law relating to
fire escapes on hotels was also killed
in the house. The following bills we're
introduced:
House bill 1873, Cummings, provid-
ing for the payment of certain bounty
claims held by the Stockmen's bank
of Fort Benton.
House bill 1856, Morris, local option

vice would be established should the
line be built, of which rnere seems
good prospect. A distance of 35 miles
would be saved in hauling coal from
the mines to Cedar Rapids; which
would mean a big saving in time and
money; then again it would give the
people of Keswick, South English,
Wellma1, and other towns down that
way an outlet to Des Moines, which
they have never enjoyed without go

POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-The Black Dia-
mond today says: THE general trend
of prices this week is downward. The
demand for mostly all sizes of coal
is inactive, owing to large stocks and
the mild1ess of the weather. Eastern
Goals are in better demand, which is
due to the small supply on account Of
inadequate transportation facilities
caused b. the recent floods. Smoke
less mine-run continues very strong
and very little coal of this description
is available. In many cases premi-
ums have been ..did. Sales agents
who have coal of this description
available can easily get $3.55@3.65
for the product (. 0. b. Chicago. West
ern Goals are characterized as weak.
A large amount of spot lump is avail
able and prices have declined all the
way from 10@55c. The supply of
coal coming into the chicago market,
however, is being curtailed, and no
doubt the amount of spot coal next
week available will be diminished"
