To find the water -pipes leaking, frozen, or perhaps- buret, is no rare ocourreuce during the winter in the modern much- plumbed houses.

Floors are wet, ceilings leak, the water is Shut off, and the whole household is et a stand atill„wetititag air rho vexations will. o' -the -wasp, the plumber. Whenever the leak is visible, the housewife can cure the ill hereelf, at leaet temporarily. Shut off the water firet, and then spread some white lead on a cloth, like a plaster. Tie this firmly over the leak, and the plaster will soon harden, for the water cannot work ire way out or pre- vent the plaster's adhering. Unless the plumber will make thorough repairs when ae doee come, the heed pester is more portheFnvot--the weak Bolder. Let a pound of white. lead stand a day or'two until a skin has formed over it, and then oover it, with water. It will be soft and ready for use at any time, and the housewife can " snap her fingere at the'plumber'e ways," to para. phrase Sir Joseph Porter, ae beet suits a frosty morning. 'Stripe of robber out from old rubber shoesand bound tightly over the Leake in hot-water pipes will close the holes and stop the dripping flood. When the water freezes in the traps of the bath -room or the kitchen oink, a quart of common salt thrown into them will thaw them out more rapidly than hot water. A lighted lamp placed ander a frozen water -pipe is more rapid and convenient its work than pouring on hot water. A lamp, the flame partly lowered, planed under an exposed bend or length of pipe which is liable to wheeze is a simple preventive of trouble in bitter weather.—Harper's Bazar. As Good as a Novel.

A Creature That, From one Point of view, . Stands Absolutely Alone. The seoretary of the Selborne Society of England, an "association of Iovers of wild nature, has lately written an account of the guinea pig. This creature, the writer says, stands abeolutely alone, from one point of view. Do what you will, it is impossible to make a friend of him. Titmice, robins, squirrels, wild ducks, cuckoos, even rats and mice, have been found amenable to kindness. Even Roman snails, Egyptian beetles and butterflies have been taught to reoo;nize their masters and show a friendly interest in them. The guinea pig is an absurd little animalfor a number of reason's, and one of site most remarkable absurdities about him is his name. He is not a pig of any kind,nor any relation to the pig, and he has nothing to do with Guinea. He ie a kind of ret and his native home is South America. Why he should have been called.a "pig" no one knowe, unless it was on account of the slight grunting noise that he makes ; and the word "guinea" in his case may be a corruption of Gnina, where the animal has sometimes been found; though it was first brought from Brazil. His real name falba "cavy" and by that he 'should be palled. In .his wild State he is quite differently colored from the domesticated animal and lacks the' spotting of white, blank and tawny color which' the tamed cavy often has. It used to be commonly supposed that the guinea pig drove away ordinary rats, or rather caused them to go away on acoount of their extreme dislike of him, but even this negative merit is denied to the poor little animal No one, however, is able to deny hie gentleness and snbmiaeiveneee.—Youth's Companion.

Bat as he looked through the window something stayed hie feet ; there was a fire in the grate within—for _the night wag chili -and it lit up the little parlor and brought out in startling effect the pictures on the hearth.
