Asa given quantity of water, when formed into ice, occupies a greater spuce in the solid form than would contain it while liqnid, it is evident that where a pipe which is full of water comes under the influence of frost the pressure in the pipe is increased to such an extent that the pipe becomes expanded until it can bear the strain ne longer, and man’s handiwork succumbs to nature’s law. As ice is not a fluid it does not give us intimation of the fault in the pipe and we live in happy ignorance until the return of warmer weather, when the contents of the pipe are once more freed from the grip of frost and the water gushes out and we say “the pipe has burst,” as if that occurremce had just taken place. { —_——— His Mustard Plaster. The mustard plaster is a harmless looking wafer, but it must be handled with as much circumspection as a woman. There was a newly married man once whose wife told ‘him to put on a mustard plaster to cure a cold: He had faith in her, and put it on. Then he went to sleep, being gifted with the power of sleeping under torments which is not given to one man in a thousand, The plaster seemed to him «somewhat unreasonably hot, but he argued that the hotter.it was-the better. Besides, he had confidence in his wife. Next day he found a well developed blister on his chest, and his wife: only langhed and said she had supposed any one would have sense enongh to take’ off a plaster when it hurt him. Though that was 11 months ago, the mark of the plaster is still upon the man like a brand, and he now regards his wife’s remedies with suspicion.—New York Commercial Advertiser. Married by Blood. In the islatid of Banquey there is a tribe of Dusuns differing widely in language, religion and customs from other tribes bearing that name. Marriages are performed in the forest in the presence of two families. There is no public gathering or feast.The rite consists in transferring a drop of blood from a wooden knife in the calf of the man’s leg to a similar cut in the woman’s leg. After marriage the man takes the bride to her home, where he resides in future as a member of the family. Whimsical Advertisements. The author of ‘‘Pages From a Private Diary’’ gives some whimsical advertisements, as, for instance: ‘Respectable girls, about 18, wanted for bottling.’ And frém a bookseller’s catalogue: ‘“‘Clergymen.—A fine collection of 200 clergymen, consisting of . Protestant ministers, Roman Catholics, Wesleyan Methodists, Unitarians and Presbyteri. ans, nice clean lot—5 shillings.’’ A Valid Excuse. ‘Please excuse William from school today,’’ wrote the boy’s. mother to the teacher, ‘‘as he sat up late last night studying his lessons and is too sleepy to come today.’’ — Philadelphia North ing it.” American.

Attorney-General Tirey L. Ford says he is surprised at the large number of letters relative to private matters that . come to him, such as requests for opin‘ions on legal matters of all sorts. Speaking of this phase of his’ experi‘ence, the Attorney-General said to the . Record-Union: ; . “J imagine there are a great many ; people who imagine that all kinds of le' gal matters are within the purview of the Attorney-General’s office, hence they write to ask me various questions. Ihave recently been busy answering letters of this character, telling people how to sue corporations for, their salaries, etc. Iam’ surprised at the appeals made to this office for legal advice, as if it were a free law bureau.” Attorney-General Ford will be glad wheu the public generally shall understand that his duties consist in giving opinions to State officers on matters pertaining to their official duties, and . bringing and defending certain suits . for und in the name of the State. ' Anchored. . Up in my den,’’ said a New Orleans . bachelor, who lives in a couple of . quaintly furnished rooms in a business block down town, ‘‘between the fireplace and the first bookcase on the left you will find two large slippers nailed to the wall, some four feet above the wainscoting. The heels of the slippers are quite close together, the toes spread slightly outward,.and being made of brightly flowered drugget they look not unlike two enormous particolored beetles, clinging to the wall with folded wings. They are not, however, intended as ornaments, but have a very homely and practical purpose. ‘*When I retreat to my den at night, take down the book that suits my mood, get into a comfortable, ragged old jacket, turn the lamp just right and light my pipe—when I have performed these preliminary ceremonies, I place a chair directly in front of the slippers, insert my feet in their depths and lean back with the blissf2lconsciousness that I can’t possibly tip over and break my neck. I am anchored, so to speak, to the wall, and the light.isso arranged as to make the position the best possible one for. reading. My friends claim that the habit is pulling out my legs to an abnormal length, but I don’t let that worry me. I’m thinking of having the scheme copyrighted.’’ —New Orleans Times-Democrat. Our One Good Point. The English woman was arraigning Amefyica and everything American and to an American. ‘‘Your bed springs are uncomfortable,’’ she said, ‘I never slept ina comfortable bed the whole time I was-in the States) And your breakfasts—-such great, overfed meals as they are! I don’t see how you live, breakfasting as. you do. As for your American Voices, well, they go without saying, or rather they won’t go with saying, but so mahy more eloquent than I have so often scored you upon that point I won't’ pretend to compete. Of all the many dreadful things about America, though, there’s nothing. so bad as your voices.’’ “‘Can’t you think of somethng good about us?’’ came in a still, small voice from the American. ‘‘Haven’t we a single redeeming quality ?’’ The English woman thought a bit. ‘‘Well, yes, you have one,’’ she said in the tone of one who is making a great concession, ‘‘and that is your little elastic bands. They are so convenient, and they seem to beso plentiful. I never saw so many in all my life as I did in the States. I must confess that to my mind very many of your worst traits are mere than made up for by your littla clastic hands.’’—New York Sun.

This gentleman says that from his own observation he is of opinion that in many instances diseased cage birds, such as canaries, communicate tuberculosis to a serious extent among human beings. As about: 400, 000 canaries are reputed to be sold every year in the United Kingdom, and as it is stated that tuberculosis is cne of the most common diseases of birds, it does not seem unlikely that the canary may have considerable influence in the distribution-of tuberculous infection.— London Hospital, Accepted the Amendment, Joseph Jefferson, at a dinner in New York, said that when called upon for a curtain speech in New Haven Billy Florence once delivered himself thus: “Tt is here and to you, ladies and gentlemen, that I owe my present success in my profession. .We knew each other when boys and girls.

Asa given quantity of water, when formed into ice, occupies a greater spuce in the solid form than would contain it while liqnid, it is evident that where a pipe which is full of water comes under the influence of frost the pressure in the pipe is increased to such an extent that the pipe becomes expanded until it can bear the strain ne longer, and man’s handiwork succumbs to nature’s law. As ice is not a fluid it does not give us intimation of the fault in the pipe and we live in happy ignorance until the return of warmer weather, when the contents of the pipe are once more freed from the grip of frost and the water gushes out and we say “the pipe has burst,” as if that occurremce had just taken place. { —_——— His Mustard Plaster. The mustard plaster is a harmless looking wafer, but it must be handled with as much circumspection as a woman. There was a newly married man once whose wife told ‘him to put on a mustard plaster to cure a cold: He had faith in her, and put it on. Then he went to sleep, being gifted with the power of sleeping under torments which is not given to one man in a thousand, The plaster seemed to him «somewhat unreasonably hot, but he argued that the hotter.it was-the better. Besides, he had confidence in his wife. Next day he found a well developed blister on his chest, and his wife: only langhed and said she had supposed any one would have sense enongh to take’ off a plaster when it hurt him. Though that was 11 months ago, the mark of the plaster is still upon the man like a brand, and he now regards his wife’s remedies with suspicion.—New York Commercial Advertiser. Married by Blood. In the islatid of Banquey there is a tribe of Dusuns differing widely in language, religion and customs from other tribes bearing that name. Marriages are performed in the forest in the presence of two families. There is no public gathering or feast.The rite consists in transferring a drop of blood from a wooden knife in the calf of the man’s leg to a similar cut in the woman’s leg. After marriage the man takes the bride to her home, where he resides in future as a member of the family. Whimsical Advertisements.

Speaking of this phase of his’ experi‘ence, the Attorney-General said to the . Record-Union: ; . “J imagine there are a great many ; people who imagine that all kinds of le' gal matters are within the purview of the Attorney-General’s office, hence they write to ask me various questions. Ihave recently been busy answering letters of this character, telling people how to sue corporations for, their salaries, etc. Iam’ surprised at the appeals made to this office for legal advice, as if it were a free law bureau.” Attorney-General Ford will be glad wheu the public generally shall understand that his duties consist in giving opinions to State officers on matters pertaining to their official duties, and . bringing and defending certain suits . for und in the name of the State. ' Anchored. . Up in my den,’’ said a New Orleans . bachelor, who lives in a couple of . quaintly furnished rooms in a business block down town, ‘‘between the fireplace and the first bookcase on the left you will find two large slippers nailed to the wall, some four feet above the wainscoting. The heels of the slippers are quite close together, the toes spread slightly outward,.and being made of brightly flowered drugget they look not unlike two enormous particolored beetles, clinging to the wall with folded wings. They are not, however, intended as ornaments, but have a very homely and practical purpose. ‘*When I retreat to my den at night, take down the book that suits my mood, get into a comfortable, ragged old jacket, turn the lamp just right and light my pipe—when I have performed these preliminary ceremonies, I place a chair directly in front of the slippers, insert my feet in their depths and lean back with the blissf2lconsciousness that I can’t possibly tip over and break my neck. I am anchored, so to speak, to the wall, and the light.isso arranged as to make the position the best possible one for. reading. My friends claim that the habit is pulling out my legs to an abnormal length, but I don’t let that worry me. I’m thinking of having the scheme copyrighted.’’ —New Orleans Times-Democrat. Our One Good Point. The English woman was arraigning Amefyica and everything American and to an American. ‘‘Your bed springs are uncomfortable,’’ she said, ‘I never slept ina comfortable bed the whole time I was-in the States) And your breakfasts—-such great, overfed meals as they are! I don’t see how you live, breakfasting as. you do. As for your American Voices, well, they go without saying, or rather they won’t go with saying, but so mahy more eloquent than I have so often scored you upon that point I won't’ pretend to compete. Of all the many dreadful things about America, though, there’s nothing. so bad as your voices.’’ “‘Can’t you think of somethng good about us?’’ came in a still, small voice from the American. ‘‘Haven’t we a single redeeming quality ?’’ The English woman thought a bit. ‘‘Well, yes, you have one,’’ she said in the tone of one who is making a great concession, ‘‘and that is your little elastic bands. They are so convenient, and they seem to beso plentiful. I never saw so many in all my life as I did in the States.

We do not in this paragraph allude to the islands to.which people fly for the cure of consumption, but to the little birds which sing songs to us 1n their captivity, and are, according to Dr. Tucker Wise, a cause from which consumption comes. This gentleman says that from his own observation he is of opinion that in many instances diseased cage birds, such as canaries, communicate tuberculosis to a serious extent among human beings. As about: 400, 000 canaries are reputed to be sold every year in the United Kingdom, and as it is stated that tuberculosis is cne of the most common diseases of birds, it does not seem unlikely that the canary may have considerable influence in the distribution-of tuberculous infection.— London Hospital, Accepted the Amendment, Joseph Jefferson, at a dinner in New York, said that when called upon for a curtain speech in New Haven Billy Florence once delivered himself thus: “Tt is here and to you, ladies and gentlemen, that I owe my present success in my profession. .We knew each other when boys and girls.
