A Novel Refrirerator.

A young friend Of mine, who has for sew.
sral years each summer gone with his father
on camping trip on tho south shore OF Lake
Superior, tells me Of a novel experiment they
often employed for preserving their venison
In warm weather. In that country some Of
the streams arc hanked by long rows Of sand
hills, whose composition is so loose that they
shift about continually under a wind of any
force In the winter time the high winds
often blow the sand over the great snow
banks which lie upon the north side of the
sand dunes, covering up the snow to depth
Of several feet. The snow Is thus kept un-
melted, and even In the middle Of summer
one can dig down through the sand to it and
find the best imaginable sort Of a natural re-
frigerator. In this way, said my young
friend, they buried their deer and trout, and
found them kept entirely fresh 50 long as they
cared to leave them. This Is certainly a new
instance Of natures bountifulness with the
sportsman. Forest and Stream.

A Nsw Root IN the Arlnntlo.

The discovery which was announced yes
terday Of a new rock In the Atlantic is the
latest information which the admiralty has
thought proper to issue for the warning and
instruction Of mariners In year when
great preparations are being made to cele-
hrate the fourth centenary of the famous ad-
venture by which the American continent was
brought to the knowledge Of Europe, few
square feet of gneiss five and half fathoms
under water may seem but scanty addition
to the new world.
But rock covered by the sea is to the
sailor often of infinitely greater import
ance than an island above it. For, while it
is not easy to run against the land, even in
the dark, it requires a great deal Of caution
to avoid splitting a vessel on a bank over
which 1t cannot hoat. Considering that
ships have been plowing almost every inch Of
the Atlantic for the last three or four hun
dred years, it forms a curious problem in the
mathematical theory Of chance that up to
date not one has grazed the rock in question.
Nevertheless it lies only twenty-five miles
of Cape st. Mary's, on the southern coast of
Newfoundland, and though covered by thir-
ty-three feet Of water, is right in the track
OF vessels making for the mouth Of the st.
Lawrence, and when a heavy sea breaks

How and When to Drink water


In giving some advice as to the best time
and manner Of drinking water Dr.. Leuf ex
plains that when water is taken into the full
or partly full stomach, it does not mingle
with the food, but passes along quickly be
tween the food and lesser curative toward
the pylorus, through which II passes into the
intestines. The secretion Of mucus by the
lining membrane is constant, and during the
night considerable amount accumulates In
the stomach; some Of its liquid portion Is alb
sorbed, and that which remains is thick and
tenacious. II food is taken into the stomach
when In this condition It becomes coated
with this mucus, and the secretion OF the
gastric juice and its action are DELAYED.
These facts show the value Of q goblet Of
water before breakfast This washes out the
tenacious mucus, and stimulates the gastric
glands to secretion. In old and feeble per
sons water should not be taken cold, but II
may be with great advantage taken warm or
hot This removal Of the accumulated mu
Gus from the stomach Is probably one Of the
reasons why taking soup at the beginning Of
q meal has been found so beneficial
Vacations the weighing nRnaL
There are few men who, while enjoying
vacation, can resist the temptation quietly TO
step on the scale occasionally to ascertain
how much they have gained" Indeed, il q
man doesn't consult weighing machine two
or three times day at such time he is
showing considerable self restraint Theino-
ment a man discovers or thinks he discovers
that he has gained pound or 90 In weight he
gives himself up helplessly to the weighing
habit, and after that be can usually Be
found standing on the platform OF pair Of
scales watching himself gain.-New York
Tribune
The Boston Transcript gravely advises it's
readers not 10 pick up horse chestnuts in the
street and pocket them. They may be horse
