We do not doubt that there has been considerable discomfor ooasloned and money loss sustained by owners and renters of houses In Aikon during the recent cold snap, from the freezing and bursting of water pipes. And further we do not doubt but what a Kart of this might have been avoided y proper foreoight in the matter of protection to the pipes and heating apparatus. It should be the duty of Elumbers or contractors to counsel ouse owners as to the best means of proteotlng their pipes from freezing, when they put tbom In, for the layman is not apt to reason the matter out for himself when be builds a house. Al though we rarely have weather cold enough to freeze water in the pipes, it might be worth while to mako things more secure against possible disaster. In the first place the water should bo shut off from the house each night of cold weather and the pipes drained. Then tho fro9t will have to go deep under ground to do damage. Thn praotlce of letting the f&ucot run all night is wasteful of water and unreli able in results. Where the water pipo enters the house from the ground it should be boxed up and surrounded with olotb. paper or sawdust as a furth er protection. Wbh these precautions no trouble will bo experienced durlpg cold snaps.?Alken Journal and Re view. A Startling Surprise. Very few could bolieve in loooklng at A . T.
