An Extraordinary Refrigerator.

A young friend Of mine, who has for
several years each summer gone with
his father on camping trip on the
south shore Of Lake Superior. tells me
of a novel expedient they often em-
ployed for preserving their venison in
warm weather. In that country some
OF the streams are ilanked by long rows
Of sand-hills, whose composition is so
loose that they shift about continually
under o wind of any force. In the win-
ter time the high winds often blow the
sand owe: the great snow banks which
lie upon the north side OF the sand
dunes, covering UP the snow to a depth
OF several feet. The snow is thus kept
unmelted, and even in tho middle of
summer one can dig down through the
sand to it and find the best Imaginable
sort OF natural refrigerator. In this
way, said my young friend. they buried
their deer and trout. and found them
entirely fresh SO long as they cared to
leave them. This is certainly a new
instance of natures bountifulness with
the sportsman. Forest ana Stream.
