As a Rule, He Still Thinks He Can Put Off Doing Things At the age of forty a man has reached a time of when it is hardly thing or the other. The past years have not been so many as to pergit one to lay down his arms and retreat in quiet to the shade. It is still not too late to strive and perhaps to achieve. On the other hand, so much dusty road been traveled that if one finds it has pot led him far on the way he meant to go he can hardly delude himself with the fancy that he can yet go back and begin the journey anew. The pleasant sense of superfluous time is gove; one must hurry, and perhaps it is too late Then comes the grief of perceiving tc waste, the loss, the utter futility of postponernents. The world is full of good and wonderful things. What a wealth of potential experience and emo- tions, and time and opportunity for so little! And yet year after year goes on blindly and blandly putting off to some more convenient or appropri ate time, to that impossible period when all will be exactly right, things be wants to do and can do--a kind ac tion, making a new friend, or altering a whole career! Once acquired, the habit of postpon- ing persists.

It is a curious fact that water pipes under ground will often freeze during the warm spell that follows a cold snap. The explanation made for this interesting phenomenon is that after a cold wave a large quantity of heat is taken from the ground in the work of changing the frozen moisture into wa ter, and thus, on the principle of the ice cream freezer, the pipe is chilled, enough heat being taken from it to | freeze it.
