When Pea Tankard Was Used.

It Is true no doubt that among tho early. Anglo-Saxons-of the same stock as the Germans there was great deal of hard. drinking and good deal of drunkenness although after, the incursions of the Normans tho habits. of the country in this respect were greatly improved. Very quaint and very curious are some of the reg. ulations which were adopted for the purpose of compelling thirsty souls to practice moderation. At the instance. t Is said, of St. Dunstan. archbishop of Canterbury. King Edgar. for the pur. pose of regulating the quantity nen might drink. ordained that pegs or pins should he inserted in the large drinking vessels then in use. The first person who drank emptied the tank ard to the first peg from the top. the second to the second peg. and so on. Anyone who went beyond one pin was liable to q penalty.

Why Glass Cracks.

You have learned by experienced that cold water will crack hot glass, or hot water a cold glass. But did you know that . thick glass will crack much more readily under such treat ment than a thin glass? When hot water strikes cold glass. for example. the heat of the water is quickly com. municated to the glass next 1t. caus ing the glass to expand. If the glass is thin, the heat is quickly communi- gated to both sides of the glass SO that they expand together without damage. But if the glass is thick the heat is slow in getting through and the side next the hot water expands so nrch more rapidly than the other side that the glass is cracked.-The Ameri' san Boy.
