How to Use Charcoaa In Place of Ice.
For keeping large pieces Of meat and
poultry here is a simple device: Have a
large barrel or hogshead half filed with
charcoal. Put meat hooks in a 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 viii be a
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 a bed of
charcoal. OF course the charcoal in
boxes and barrels should be changed at
least once a month. II can be used for
lighting fires or for broiling meats OF
fish, If, however, il it difficult to get a
good supply Of charcoal, the old can be
purified byputting it into the stove with
a few lighted chips and allowing it to
burn until redhot. At this stage open
all the windows 10 let the gas pass Off
then close the drafts Of thestove, remove
the covers and leave the room. When
the charcoal becomes cold, 1t will be
ready for use again. - Ladies' Home

THO crowds In tbe aIldvav,

Referring to the crowds in Midway
plaisance in jackson park, a correspond
ent writes to the Paris Figaro: "They
move along like procession Of Quakers.
They have no jokes, no frolics, no shouts,
no fun. The dead silence that marks
their promenade makes one think of the
professions of the pupils Of some deaf
and dumb institution" etc.
This is not strictly true-not so truth
full as it would be for us to say that the
Partisan idea Of fun and frolic involves
barricades, riots, murder. arson and
queen killing.
We are grateful for serviceable sug-
gestions, but we must beg TO be excused
from practicing that kind Of sport which
appears TO be so popular IN Paris aud
which has made Paris infamous in his
tory. We are proud that we have re-
manned, in spite Of all temptations, SO
Qualrerish as to regard with horror the
lewd fun, the lubricious jokes, the bawdy
shouts and the licentious frolics which
the correspondent Of Figaro ruefully fails
to find among us.-Eugone Field in Chi
cago News-Record.

slrnnro Ernerlence ofn Iettcr.

A lady in London wished to communi-
cate with a friend in America, whose ad-
dress she did not know. In order to OBJ
tain the needed information she wrote
10 another friend, who also lived in the
new world. The lettcr was duly dis
patched, but the ship which carried ii
was wrecked, and the mails went to the
sea bottom.
They were eventually recovered, how
ever. and the letter in question. torn and
discolored, found its way back to the
sender. While subjecting it to a minute
examination, the lady was surprised to
find part of another letter adhering 10
it, upon which epistle was the full ad-
dress of the friend with whom she
wished to correspond. In this strange
way, without having reached its destina-
ton, her letter had brought to her the
answer desired. Tit-Bits.

A Now Prophet and Mystic In Klef

A new sect whose prophet is a certain
peasant called Kondrah is making ex-
traordinary progress in the provinces Of
Kief and Poltava Kondrah is a man
of considerable power as a speaker, but
who was at one time confined in a lu-
natic asylum. He was arrested some
time ago and sent TO Transcsucasia, but
his followers are most energetic apostles
and continue to propagate kondratism
Their principle tenet Is that all men
are as Christ was, and in exactly the
same way sons Of God when they have
been touched by the Spirit. The plain
est facts and statements IN Scripture are
interpreted in a mystical spirit. There
