Use Of Bacon Drippinus,

Bacon dGippings make splendid short
ening for light, flaky pie crust. It
takes just a little less Of the drippings
than of ordinary lard or vegetable
shortening. Use it for shortening in
spice cake, gingerbread or any dark
cake and note the delicious flavor.
Spread rye bread with a thin layer
of the pure drippings and sprinkle 4
little salt on it. Add to this thin
slice of any salt meat and you will
have delicious and highly nutritious
sandwich. The European housewife
has long made use Of such sandwiches
for the between meal snack for grow
ing boys and girls.

BOILING WATER.
1t 10 Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.

May Be Barely Heated.
If you scald yourself with the tea
kettle you are apt to think that boiling
water is a pretty hot proposition. But
boiling water is not always very hot
water. and this is the way it happens
When water boils ordinarily it is be
cause great heat has separated the tiny
particles Of the water. forcing upward
and outward in lively bubbles the air
which is contained in them. This is
done in spite of the downward pres
sure of the atmosphere. After the wa
ter has become hot enough to boil it
can get no hotter, because the air es-
capes as fast as it is sufficiently heated
to do So
There are places on the earth where
the pressure Of the atmosphere upon
the water is SO slight that it requires
but little heat to push apart the par
ticles and set free the air bubbles
which are confined in the water. so 1t
begins to boil before it becomes very
hot 1t ought hardly to be called cold
water. perhaps. but it is certainly far
from being as hot as ordinarily boil
ing water. This state of things is
found on all high mountain tops. as the
atmosphere grows weaker and it's pres
sure less as one ascends.
A man travelling at a great elevation
| in the Andes mountains put some po
| tatoes in pot of water over a hot fire
/ mediately. but the potatoes did not
cook. All the afternoon and all the
night the water dubbed and boiled. but
still the potatoes were not cooked. The
boiling water was not hot enough.
