How to Use Charcoal Tn Place OF Ice.

For keeping large pieces of meat and
poultry here is n simple device: Have q
large barrel or hogshead half filled with
charcoal. Put meat hooks In strip Of
joist and place across the top of the bar
rel. Have "a netting to spread over this.
This barrel may be kept in cool place
and pieces of meat be hung on the hooks.
The charcoal will keep the atmosphere
dry and sweet, and the netting will be q
protection against insects. Should there
be danger from rats or mice use wire
netting.
Fresh fish may be rubbed with salt,
wrapped in paper and buried In bed Of
charcoal. OF course the charcoal In
boxes and barrels should be changed at
least once month. II can be used for
lighting fires or for broiling meats or
fish. If, however, il it difficult TO get a
good supply of charcoal, the old can be
purified by putting IL into the stove with
few lighted chips and allowing 1t TO
burn until redhot. At this stage open
all the windows to let the gas pass Off;
then close the drafts of thestove, remove
the covers and leave the room. When
the charcoal becomes cold, IL will be
ready for use again. - Ladies' Home

men, one OF whom presented revolver
and demanded his money or his life.

money, amounting to s42, from his inside
pocket, after which they permitted him to
escape.
