The baby first and father last! This is the new order of importance of the members of the family, as decided by tht Willisden magistrate, 'Mr W. T. Luke. A woman, complained that her husband did not give her enough money to keep them both and the baby. The magistrate told the mother that “ the order of the family should be: The baby first, then you, and fast of all, the husband. Feed the baby first, then look after yourself, and if there should be anything left over let the husband have it. If there is not, let him look out for himself.”

A curious little experiment by means of which ice can be formed oven in a hot room is carried out on the following litres: Make a. tube of blotting paper about a foot long of such a sizo that it can be placed over the end of a pair of bellows. Cut tho ©nd farthest away from the bellows into a fringe. Soak the fringe in benzine, petrol, or 'any volatile spirit. Then blow down the bellows, and in a short while ice crystals will appear all over the fringe. In time the strips which form the fringe become stiff with frost. This is due to the intense cold brought about by the rapid evaporation of the spirit under the blast of air freezing the moisture always present in the atmosphere.
