KEEPING MEAT IN HoT WEATHER.
Great is the convenience of a good re-
frigerator But many of us who live
in the country have to get along with
out such convenience. Farmers
families who often depend upon the
butchers meat cart tor supplies of
fresh meat, are annoyed by the bother
and waste that comes or getting more
beef or mutton than they can conven-
iently use up before 1t becomes tainted.
The most foolish waste ia to eat more
of 1t than you need, with the idea of
"saving it,; the DOCTORS bill that may
result from overlooking the digestive
organs, Is not SO good show of econO-
my as the fresh eggs you might coax
from the hens by feeding them any
excess of meat. The meat should first
be wiped and dry. Some sprinkle 1t
In all It's parts with salt. Others use
black pepper plentifully, washing and
wIping it well before using It, TO re-
move the pepper and salt, and then
hang IL In the coolest place possible
some In we'll, others, In a cellar. Per-
haps the best precautiOn Is to wrap it
In Il dry cloth and cover it with char
coal dust. Some say that wood ashes
would answer about as well as char
coal; but only know the virtue OF
charcoal by experience. | have found
that charcoal will even remove slight
degree Of taint. am told that mutton
is improved, as well rs preserved for
short time, by wrapping in a cloth
wet with vinegar. and laying 1t on the
bottom OF dry cellar. All kinds "l
meat, including fish and fowl, may
be preserved in brine for longer or
shorter time.

A Cornwall Horse.

A Dubuque gentleman took a fancy
to horse few days ago, and after
some bantering succeeded in buying
the animal. 1t was a saddle horse-a
neat, trim one, thought to be just the
thing. The purchaser started out to
try the qualities of his new purchase,
and came home convinced that the horse
knew far more than he gave him credit
for on short acquaintance. At the first
saloon he overlook on the road the
horse wheeled and came to halt. His
rider urged him quietly, then little
more so, to proceed, but the animal
would not. After coaxing him for some
time in short sentences the saloon keep
er came out and observed. "You can't
get that horse away until you let him
see you take glass of beer" AS a
final resort the beer was taken, when
the horse went of as good naturedly as
If he had been wound up for an eight
day journey. Just about the time the
rider got over wondering at the odd
freak Of the horse another saloon was
reached. The horses ears went for
ward, he fastened his pace, and in
brief time was at the door performing
a counterpart of his recent exploit. 1t
was :ound necessary to 60 through the
beer performance again, with the same
satisfactory and surprising result.
This was repeated at every saloon on
the road out, seven miles in the country
and return. When the new owner of
the horse got back to the city he called
ON the former owner of the horse to
make some inquiry about the matter.
He felt happy when told that he need
not drink the beer II he didn't want to;
all he need to do was to go through the
motions and the horse would be per-
1ectly satisfied"

The diamonds of South Africa are

In ferruginous gravel, and are found at
depths varying from two to twenty feet
below the surface, the usual depth be-
ing from two to six feet. In working
the mines claim or piece of ground
thirty feet square is occupied by two
diggers, assisted by their black ser
wants. They remove the loose blocks
of stone, take up the gravel, sift it
thoroughly, either in dry state or
with abundance of water, in sieve
rocked by cradle. When the pebbles
have thus been separated from the sand
they are cleaned and placed upon the
sorting table. to be carefully examined
for the diamonds that may be among

D. Cohn. of Breslau, has examined
the eyes of, 10000 German children,
and found out of that number 1904
who were short-signted. The defect
was found to increase steadily as his
observation rose from the elementary
to the higher CLASSES in schools. Bad
light was an unvarying cOncOmitant,
as was also the faulty construction OF
desks and seats. causing the children
to stoop over their work SO as to bring
their eyes closer TO it; both causes
compelling an undue amount OF ocular
convergence, fatiguing the optic
sense and accustoming the eye TO a
short focus.
