The restaurant, or teahouse, in ChinI

All the current news and gossip arc here
circulated and discussed over their eat
Ing OF gambling. One of their games Of
chance, which we have frequently no
ticed, seems to consist in throwing then
fingers at one another and shouting at
the top Of their voices. IL is really o
matching of numbers, for which the
Cinnamon make signs ON their fingers

The Chinese Of all nations seem &C
live in order to eat. and from this race
Of epicures has developed a nation of
excellent cooks Our fare in China, cut
side the Cobb district, was far better
than il Turkey or Persia, and for this
reason we are better able TO endure tile
increased hardships A plate of sliced
meat stewed with vegetables and served
with a piquant sauce, SLICED radishes
and onions, with vinegar. two loaves
Of Chinese mono, or steamed bread,
and a pot of tea would usually cost
Us about 3it cents apiece. Every
thing in China is SLICED so that il can be
eaten with the chopsticks. These we at
length learned to manipulate with suffi-
cient dexterity TO pick up a doves egg,
the highest attainment in the chop
stick art. The Chinese have rather a
sour than a sweet tooth. Sugar is rarely
used in anything. and never in tea The

classes use, are really more tasty with

FREEZING sY MACHINERY.
Ita R~snIts ~ Compared with ThOeS
Through the Use of Melting Ice.

Its R~snlts NJ Compared with TbOeS
Through the Use Of Melting Ice.
The superiority Of refrigvration OBJ
tanned by mechanical processes, as COM
pared with that obtained by melting ice
appears in the facts that by it more in
tense Geld may be secured; that any de-
sired degree Of cold may be maintained
with perfect uniformity; that a drier
atmosphere is secured in the refrigerat-
ing box or room; that the Inconvenience
Of frequently replenishing the ice bun
kers and the slop and dirt attendant upon
this work are avoided; that the annoy
ing uncertainty of ice supply and varia-
bility in its price are avoided; that
space in the rooms or boxes to be cooled
is economical by substitution Of coil
OF pipe ON walls Of ceiling for the bulky
ice bunker, and that this refrigeration
can be employed for many purposes and
places where Ice cannot be used at all.
Added to all this is the fact, of para
mount Importance, that where much
refrigeration is required the cost of a
machine and It's operation is far less
than the cost Of ice sufficient to do an
equal amount of work.
These advantages have proved SO great
in practice that every brewery, packing
house, cold storage warehouse or other
establishment requiring large amount
of refrigeration contains its individual
refrigerating plant Where consumption
amounts to ten tons OF more of ice daily
the question Of economy will be almost
invariably decided in favor Of the ma
chine. If less than ten tons be required,
the cost of IA machine and its operation
may exceed the cost of ice sufficient 70
do a similar amount of work In many
cases the superior quality of the refrig-
GRAFTON obtained, it's cleanliness, relia-
bility and convenience or the require
ment of moce intense cold than ice will
produce secures the adoption of the ma
chine. Therefore small machines are
frequently found on shipboard, in no
tells and apartment houses and in many
manufactures, but most of the ice gath
cred from rivers and lakes or made in
factories is not consumed by the few
who require large quantities, but 10y the
many, who seyeraIiy require less than
ten tons a day.
The effort TO bring this superior re-
frigeration within the reach Of small
consumers has taken two directions
the production of small and inexpensive
automatic machines and a system nf
supply of the retrigerant from central
stations The first has failed hitherto.
because the balance of constantly vary
ing pressures, temperatures, strength Oi
solution, etc, is too complex a matter
for purely automatic regulation. With
out constant skilled attention the ma.
chimes work enthusiastically, while the
relatively high cost Of plant, fuel and
cooling water in operating on n small
scale defeats economy. Chicago Times

The first half of December will be fine weather The last half will be more or less windy and cooler, but there will be no snow to speak of until the very last of December or first of January.
