Water Pipes and Freezing.

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 it 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 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 wafer will not freeze
until it has parted with it's air. In the
second place, there is always a slight
agitation on the surface of hot water,
and this promotes congelation by as
sisting the crystals to change their po-
sition until they assume that most ia
vorable to qualification. Then the
particles in hot water divide into small
er globules by reason Of the heat, and
less resistance is therefore offered to
the cold than in cold water

A FIimsy Craft.

While it is rarely employed by Euro
peans as a method of travel, even in
emergencies, the catamaran of the
Madras fishermen of India is by all
odds the most extraordinary of water
vehicles. 1t consists simply of three
logs dashed together and flush with the
surface of the water. On these a fish
erman sometimes two or more fisher
mem stands and with single oar pad
dies himself far out to sea. A Madras
fisherman will venture out when boat
men will not launch their craft, and
even in weather when boats cannot be
launched he will go through the surf
and out to ships with letters, for the
delivery Of which he gets few pence.
In order to catch their ships a few be-
lated travellers have been known to
trust themselves on catamarans. They
are united in the statement that the
ride on the logs was the most nerve
trying experience they had undergone
in land that holds new thrill for the
stranger at every turn. The sea and
an occasional ducking have no terrors
for these natives, not even the ex-
tremely young, and in reality the cata-
maran is not entirely to be scorned, for
it is, after all, nOnsinkable

Honey, one of the most nutritious
and delicate of foods, should be eaten
more than it u.s." said cooking expert
Bought in the comb, it is bound to be
unadulterated, and this pure honey
will keep it's friends free from sore
throat and bronchial troubles. / have
not had a sore throat since six years
ago I 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 most de-
lightful flavor. 1t is also excellent in
place Of butter on hot biscuit, on toast
and On buskwheat cakes. 1 know q
number of women who use honey as a
cosmetic. They apply it to the skin,
rub it in WE'LL then wash it off with
hot water. The result is a finer tex
tured complexion, a glowing color, a
young, fresh look"

Lava may be blown into opaque bot
ties Of gossamer lightness, and the
harder sort makes beautiful green
glass of half the weight and double the
strength Of ordinary glass But it is
not always the same. Every volcano
pours out it's own special brand Of
molten mixture disagreeable to walk
on, but sometimes yielding precious
products, as pumice stone. Lava, like
all things, decomposes under the touch
Of time, as the fertile plains of Sicily
testify.

Puzzled.

The distinguished alienist looked
worried. NO" he said to the reporter,
II can't give you an opinion as to the
sanity of the prisoner" But surely
you have considered the case?" ut
isn't that replied the alienist; but,

Ancient Glass.

In the Slade collection at the British
museum in London the most ancient
specimen of pare glass the date Of
which can be approximately fixed is a
small lions head, bearing the name OF
an Egyptian king of the eleventh dy-

Instructive Piety of the Irish Gae

instructive F1ety or the Irish Gael.
AS Dr. Douglas Hyde pointed out,
1.-The Irish Gael is pious by nature.
There is not an Irishman in a 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 y
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 If sudden
wonderment surprises him he will cry,
"A thousand laudations to God and if
he be shown a young child or anything
else for the first time he will say,
Prosperity from God on it. london
