The best refrigerator is the one that
can be most easily kept clean and cool.
IL new one is to be purchased, it is
better to pay little more and buy one
with enameled interior that can be
easily washed out and that therefore
does not accumulate unpleasant doors.
With a box of white enamel any one
can give a coat of paint to the inside of
the refrigerator. The Improvement in

An ingenious man can manufacture
the home icebox out of two stout dry
goods boxes One of these must be
couple Of inches smaller than the other,
in order to permit the smaller one to be
used as the inner wall OF the icebox.
If this inner box is lined with zinc or
felt. its effectiveness as a cooler will be
much improved. The outer bcx should
be packed with powdered charcoal or
ashes, leaving just space enough for the
inside box to lit into it. Before the
boxes are fitted together both should
have had bored on the side which is to
be used as the base corresponding holes

months stay in the Pakin legation and
the year I spent in Chinese Turkestan
were always very polite, and often
cheery and genial. but even then 7

descension and. ,superciliousness They

me on my journey from Pekin to India
one companion only-a Chinese serv-
ant. He did his work excellently, and
we never fell out. But, though we
rode together for thousands of miles

we were never really attached to each

dream of jumping up and down and

devotion, like jmys:C..litrali servant did
when I returned to Chitral at the close
OF the siege: AS for the. Chinese with
whom Twas brought in merely casual
contact IN passing through towns and
villages, the only thing to be said is
that they make no attempt whatever to
disguise their aversion. No country is
so unpleasant to travel in as, China.
1t was a common experience to have
mud and stones thrown at one in pass
ing through town, and to be greeted
with SCOTS and sneers by an excited
mob: I gather, therefore, from this
that the real, the instructive attitude
OF the Chinese, as a whole, toward for.
elgners is one Of intense antipathy;
and If we consider the rigid, conserva-
ztlsm OF the people we may be certain
that that antipathy will last for many
a century yet. And very natural this
antipathy is, many will say, and small
wonder. that they seek to keep the
pushing foreigner at a distance. <China

prehensible sentiment; and what right
have we Europeans to force ourselves
in where we are not wanted?

state, and is one that cannot fail to
give general satisfaction. The appoint

state in building up the guard to it's

The Eating of Over Hunted Game. Is
Attended with Risk.

The Eating Of Over Hunted Game. Is
Attended with Risk.
The eating of thigh" game is. I'M
doubtedly attended with risk, and the
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced in the earlier
stages of the putrefactive process. The
advantages, Of course, Of hanging
game is that the flesh becomes tender
and decidedly more digestible than
when it is quite fresh. The ripening
process, however, may mean the elab-
grafton of the toxins. It. has been
stated that the production of the char
acteristic flavors Of game is related di-
rectly to the amount of sulphureted
hydrogen or sulphur-alcohol set free,
but it is; rather repulsive to, think, that
the delicate flavor of the game is de-
pendent upon that invariable product
of decomposition of rotten eggs-sul-
phureted hydrogen. The smell evolved
during cooking Of high" game is even
more disgusting. Fresh game some
times sets up mysterious, poisonous
symptoms, which have been attributed
to the fact Of the game having been
overturned and fatigued. Fatigue
products, indeed, have been separated
from overturned game, which, when
injected into a healthy animal, have
produced marked poisonous effects.
There is no doubt that fatigue products
under certain circumstances are also
elaborated in the human body and give
rise to a species of self-poisoning,
characteristic symptoms of. which are
headache, stupor and gastric and in.
testinal pains. The flesh. Of over-rot-
ten cattle may prove poisonous from
the same cause. This curious forma-.
ton of poisonous products in the flesh
of animals through a state Of terror or
exhaustion is question we'll worth

someness of animal foods, and empha-
