duty ahead of friendehip, and

we think to be a better man.
When an offioer provee to be a
fraud, let us put him down iu
)ur memorandums as a fraud,
and never trust him thereafter.
If personal fain be our motive
fOr voting for a fraud, then let
that gain go to the winds. The
more honest and honorable oar
officers are, the greater will be
our gain, and the more respected
Wis will be as a county.

Water is the only liquid which
expands when aoUdfied. When)
it begins to freese, the toe chrys

they {[are formed, and form a
crust over the water, and in this
way kpepe out the cold and pre

the top Is a very good thing for
us, for, If the ohrystals should
sink instead ef rising, the ponds
and lakes would freese solid
from the bottom, and the hottest
summer would not melt it.
^oe, although it Is very hard
and brittle, will take the shape
of any vessel it is put into, on a
cold day, becanre it melts under
pressure. 80, If lumps of ice
wore to be piled into a vessel
where the edges of the Ice rested |
on the sides, the pressure would
melt it and the water would tric
kle down to the botttm and there
freese again. This would keep
on until the vessel held but one
solid lump of ice. This explains
how glaciers take the different
shapes ot their beds as they come
down the mountains.
Although ice causes a great
deal of suffering among the poor,
who cannot protect themselves |
against It, it Is a blessing in dis
guise. It kills the germs of s
great maqy diseases, and many]
of the objectionable insects,
keeping them from getting too,
numerous, snd in this way pre
vents a great deal of suffering.

lee is composed of frozen par
ticles of water which become
united and hardened by oold. It
is chiefly used as a preservative,
tin summer it is ss great a com
fort as it in winter is a hardship
to* some, especially the poor.
Although the "Ice Kitg" causes
I great suffering, he also beauti
fies the landscape to sucb a de
gree that one might imagine
himself in Fairyland.
He clothes 4he bare, dark trees
in shining robes, trimmed with a
fringe of icicles. Their branches
are bent heavily toward the
earth with their ioy load. At
night the wind rustles through
them, and one may hear the
crack of the limbs as they bend
before it. The grass looks like
it is madeot tiny tender branches
of glittering ice.
The wires that run through
the streets are like long festoons
of fringe. The slats of the fences
are laced together by glistening
icicles. The ponds, lakes and
rivers are frosen over, and eve
ry one may enjoy skating over
them. The sky generally looks
gray at such times, but it forms
a harmonious back ground to the
beautiful picture.
