that American sympathy with Ireland was

gives his American correspondent an account
of his visit to Ireland, referring TO the vari-
Gus features Of English policy in that coun-

Travelling quacks find plenty Of game in
thinly settled regions, where there is little
daily excitement. Man is an animal that
dearly loves adventure, if it toe only having a
photograph taken or a tooth pulled. A
tourist IN the northwest relates what he saw
for himself:
In the center of the rough log village man
was mounted on n wagon. Suspended from
a pole hung a blazing kerosene light. The
man wore a plug hat and a claw hammer
coat, and was surrounded by u crowd of fifty
or sixty rude backwoodsnen.
Come right this way, ladies and gentle
menln cried the man. Step right up; come
with your aching teeth; bring up your old
grinders! I'll pull EN- out, free gratis for
nothing; won't charge you cent No pain
pull 'em out soft and sweet. Come right
along"
Numbers clambered up into the wagon,
seemingly actuated by no other motive than
to test the speakers ability to pull teeth
without charge and without pain. A man
with whom had been talking suddenly de
clare,l that he believed he would have tooth
pulled After it was out, asked him If it
had ever achel
mo. it hadn't hurt yet, but 1t mout have
hurt soon We don't git chance like this
every day"
After the dentist had pulled tooth for
nearly every inhabitant Il the village he pro
ceeded to fill his pockets with the sale Of a
wonderful medicine that was guaranteed to
stop the aching Of the jaws he had operated
upon.-Youth's Companion.

was just in time to see the first snake he had

timber, being hard and strong, close and even

old leaves have fallen and before the new
leaves have appeared. The crop rarely fails.
The feshy flowers fall off and cover the
ground beneath the trees, and are gathered
eagerly by the natives every morning during
the Towering season.

The business of freezing meats and fish and
preserving perishable products by various
systems Of freezing and cold storage has come
to be an important feature Of commerce.
New York city now has eight large establish
ments devoted to it, with an aggregate ca
pacity Of 1900 tons, besides many private
plants" belonging to separate produce
houses. Some Of them use the old process OF
ice and salt, while others use the ammonia
process By the former a temperature of
dogs. can be reached and with ammonia it is
said the mercury can be sent down to 20 degs
below zero
The freezing material is sent through pipes
which line the large rooms in the refrigerator
store houses and become ncrusted with ice
keeping the atmosphere crisp, dry and as
cold as may be desired. Poultry is the chief
commodity thus preserved, and it is often
kept frozen fifteen months One firm stored
last season 2,l0o pairs Of prairie chickens
1000 pairs of grass plover, GOO pairs of can
vasback ducks and | 300 dozen English snipe.
The system saves great loss and enables deal
ers to make special profits on meats and fruits
out Of season. Fruits and nuts are kept in a
more moderate temperature just above freez-
ing Great quantities Of beef and other meats
eggs, vegetables, etc, are kept in these houses
and II proper care is exercised it is claimed
that the favor is improved by long freezing.
