How to Distinguish Between the
Good and the Poor.
Meat is the name given to the muscle
or flesh of animals. which are used for
human food. 1t belongs to the nitrog-
enous class of foods and may be divid.
ed into three classes, meat proper,
poultry and game. -.....-
Meat is cooked to make it taste bet
ter. look better and to kill germs. 1t is
made up chiefly Of albuminoids, fats,
mineral matter and water.
The muscle, or lean part, of meat is
composed of little punches of tiny hol-
low tibers filed with bright red juice
and held together by tiny membrane
called connective tissue.
Fresh meat should be bright red, the
flesh should be firm to the touch, and it
should have no unplea SAINT OdOr.
Meat should be taken from the paper
just as soon us it comes from the mar
ket. as the paper absorbs some of the
juice and is apt to give the meat a dis
agreeable TASTE 1t should b. put on
dish and be kept on the ice Or IN some
W." tJidtC uHtit lNttttA W htC NOCNNu.
Before cooking meat always wipe it
with Il damp cloth, but do net put it in
to water to wash it, as some Of the
juice would be drawn out.
Good beef should be of a bright red
color. The fat should he light straw
color. III poor beef the lean is coarse,
?pcn grained and tlahbv and often
quite dark, while tie fat is dark vel
low.
Veal should be fine grained and
white. with Just suggestion of pink
i'hc fat should be firm anal white.
IN mutton the lean should be fine
grained and rich red and juicy, the
tat firm ;lllt, white.
Ii fresh pork tie fat should be firm,
clear and White and the lz'an pink. In
tie s%lted meat the fat is sometimes a
delicate pink. This is an l1ica ton of
sweet, healthy pork, but it is more
usual to find it without color

How to Tell Good Flour.

The best flour IS the cheapest, even
for the poor, as it makes better bread
to the pound. containing 4 high per
cent of nutritive principles. A good
-four has a yellowish tinge, must not
feel damp, clammy or sticky and when
kneaded into a dough will become
smooth and elastic and stay In round,
puffy shape and take up large
amount of water. The very white
flours are poor and contain very little
gluten and are not fit for bread. Select
a -four which is satisfactory tor all
cooking purposes.

Blockaded Freight at White
Horse is Removed
NEW TARIFF TO ATLlN
RailrOrd Has Fifteen Steamers Run
ming to Dawson and Proposes to
Keep Shipments Moving With
out Delay--Scows to Be Used.

A telegram from General Manager r, T..
Elliot, of the c. D. company to S. M. lr-
win, general traffic manager of the railroad
was received last evening, announcing that
all the freight which had been accumulated
at White Horse, and all other freight
which has arrived there in the current pro
cess of shipment to Dawson wonld be clear
ed awav by this morning. The steamer
Lightning, it is stated, which was to get
out last night, would take all the freight
awaiting shipment.
1.-The clearing of the blockade" says
Mr., Irwin, means that now the Skagway
gateway is a wide open gate way and we
mean to keep it such. The steamers of
the railroads allied line known as the
Canadian Development COMPANY now
number fifteen, and with them we can
keep the freight moving freely. This fleet
gives us capacity of $500 tons everv
eight DAYS. If later in the season low
water should bother us we shall endeavor
to keep traffic moving by ferrying below
La Barge with light draft steamers and
scoWs,
The road has formally taken over all
the property of the John Irving Naviga-
ton Company. The property was trans
ferred to company representing the road a
short time ago, but now the road proper
has taken charge.
1.-THE road has reduced the freight on
shipments to Atlin, making reduction of
from 50 to So ton on various commod>
tiles. Merchandise shipments of under
five tons are reduced from So7 to so4 and
of over five tons from $87 to $50. The
rate on machinery was reduced not long
ago, hence no further reduction. The new
tariff is now effective"

Request Made to Boundary
Commissioners.
REDS TALK ELOQUENTLY
Work of Demarcation of Provisi onal
Line Completed Back of Haines,
and Now Monuments Will Be
Set In White Pass Chi1koot Next.

The members of the International bound
airy commission. who have just returned to
Skagway from the country back of Haines.
where they delimted the line between
United States and Canada, as set forth in
the modus vivendi, say the Indians did not
threaten any harm to the Britishers or
King George men. as thew called them,
but they did come and request that there
be no custom house established on the
boundary, as it restricts them in trade
with Indians of the interior. For years
thew have tradedwith the interior Indians,
exchanging staples from the coast for furS,
They do not like the extra burden of duty
in making trades. However, it is said,
they have long held a strong monopoly
against the interior Indians until of late
years the white traders have come and
wrested from them a share.
In the recent appeal to the commission
ers the indians sent two chiefs. Gicock
and George Shortrdge, who spoke through
an interpreter, and spoke somewhat elo-
quently, saying their foretathers were the
first there after the great flood and they
were entitled to consideration, and that
they did not like to see the Britsher, the
American or the Russian interfere with
their rights, and intrude on their hunting
grounds. However, thew offered no hos
tilitv.
The commissioners at work on the line
are o. H. rittman, of Washington. d. c.,
assisted by o. B. French of the same city,
and w. F. King, OF Ottawa. They have
just finished demarcating the line, setting
monuments and taking geographical notes
along the thirty miles starting between
Glacier and Porcupne creeks and running
down the right bank of the KIaheena
river; thence down to the junction with
the Chikat, and thence across the river to
a mountain to the eastward of the village
of kluckWan. The commissioners have
been at work month.
The commission has its own tenting out
fit and cook, and the entire party is hardy
and bronZed from its outdoor experienced.
In some places considerable hard foot
travel was necessary. The commission
