GAME M EAT.
Rissh of Much Hunted Animals II Ant

klesh Of Much Hunted Animals II AIT

The eating Of high" game ia nm
doubtedly attended with risk, and the
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced in the earlier
stages of the putrefactive process. The
advantage, Of course. of hanging game
Is that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
1t is quite fresh. The ripening process,
however, may mean the elaboration Of
the toxins. 1t has been stated that the
production Of the characteristic davors
Of game ID related directly to the
amount Of sulphureted hydrogen or
sulphur-alcohol set free. but It IL
rather repulsive to think that the deli
cate flavor Of the game Is dependent
upon that invariable product Of de-
composition Of rotten eggs-sulphur-
eted hydrogen. The smell evolved
curing cooking Of high" game IL even
moro disgusting. Fresh game some
times sets up mysterious. poisonous
symptoms. which has been attributed
to the fact Of the game having been
overhunted and fatigued. Fatigus
products. indeed. have been separated
from overhunted game. which. when
injected into healthy animal, have
produced marked poisonous effects.
There is no doubt that fatigue prod
ucts under certain circumstances are
also elaborated In the human body and
give rise to species of self-poieoninR.

headache. stupor and gastric and in

cattle may prove poisonous from the
same cause. This curious formation Of
poisonous products In the flesh Of ami
mails through state Of terror or ex-
haustion Il question well worth con-
sidering in relation to the wholesome
ness Of animal foods and emphasizes
the Importance Of slaying animals in

rHE COPPER PENNY.

IL L. Slowly Making Its Way Into the
-. Mining Regions Of Montana.
The copper penny will soon be in
circulation In Butte. Mont. It wasn't
so many years ago. says the Anaconda
Standard, that the two-bit piece was
the smallest coin that circulated In this
neck OF woods. and Butte got along
very prosperously as a town In which
there was no circulating medium Of a
less denomination than 25 cents. Grad
ually nickles and dimes came into cir
culation, and now there is a strong
probability that before long the cop
per cents will be jingling in the pock
cts of Butte's citizens. and will be CIV
en- over the counters Of Butte business
houses In change.
What makes this innovation prob
able is the fact that several of Butte's
business houses In the past year or
two have inaugurated the scheme of
selling goods with an odd" price-that
is to say. they have inaugurated the
98 and 48 cent methods OF catching
trace from those who look close 1t q
bargain. Now when one Of these Butte
business houses sells certain article
for 49 cents. and receives half dol
lar in payment for 1t. the house does
not give the customer copper cent.
but instead gives the customer q Mt
tie envelope. which ON being opened Ii
found TO contain q one-cent postage
stamp. In case two cents In change Ii
comlAg to the customer an envelope is
given containing q tw0-csnt postage
stamp. and 30 on. So far ~ known
no business house has yet inaugurated
the plan Of giving pennies. yet II is
manifsstly more convenient to handle
pennies than to handle the postage
stamps.
There will be general regret when
the copper cent gains Its foothold In
Butte. But II IL bound to come. II
u more persistent than the Russian
thistle. The copper penny has nearly
completed the conquest Of the great
west. From Chicago It Travelled to
Omaha and st. Paul ~ a basis OF op-
srations, II has been slowly hut surely
conqusring its way toward Montana. II
flooded Western Montana, and then
penetrated the Dakotas. Information
10 that II has gained . fo0thold In
Eastern Montana. and can be seen oc-
casionally ~ far into Montana ~
Billings and Livingston. Furthermore
the copper penny jumped from the
east clear to the western coast. and
can b. found In several Of the coast
towns. Thus the small remaining ter
ritory In which the copper penny ls
still unknown 10 threatened BY invasion
from both the east and the west Butte
win have to make up III mind to &C.
csDt Y later. II not sooner.
