CHILLED AND FROZEN BEEF
a Distinction With an Important
Difference to Meat Eaters.

So much attention is being directed to
our beef supply at the present moment
that a few words on the subject, so far
as beef refrigeration is concerned, may
be of more than passing interest It IS
somewhat peculiar that what at first
sight might appear to be the most del
icate Of meats should be capable or
standing such low temperatures as those
to which lamb caTcasses are subjected,
yet long years of experience have proved
that these earcaSses can be reduced to
very low temporal lures, indeed, and safe

other hand. beef when frozen and
thawed, indicates too clearly the condi-
lions it has been subjected to. and, con-
seguently, when once treated in this
manner not only bears very palpable
evidence thereof, but is so deteri0rated
in appearance as to be reduced consid
erably in value The greater portion OF
the imported frozen beef is therefor6
dumped on the cheap markets. where
price, rather than quality. regulates the
demand. The difficulties experienced in
connection with beef refrigera ton were
undoubtedly the cause of the large Inn

drawback to this method, due to the

effect acts as a preventative A numbes
of trials have been made, but up to the
present it appears to be impossible to
keep beef for more than three weeks ia

"DO0LEY'S'' GETTING RICH.
From His Writing and W. c. Whit
ney's Stock Exchange Tips.

An old friend of Mr. Dooley''-Peter
Dunne-met him the other day, and tells
the following story of the encounter:
Il met Pete Dunno the evergreen
Mr.. D0oley, at a fire in News York. the
other afternoon says the friend.
4 have not seen him for good many
years. We Worked together in Chicago
about IL years ago.
Pete wgs then just n years old, AMI
I was three years older. was city edi-
tor of one of the afternoon Chicago pa
pers, and Pete was my star man.
.He would write q swift and f1amboy-
ant story about any old thing, but he
never had much of an eye to detail, and
one of his weaknesses was his invaria-
Bile neglect to get the damage and the
insurance when he was sent to cover
fire.
Threats. bulldozing, persuasion, bull
notwithstanding could seem to in
duce Dunno to bring in a fact or two
about the destruction in dollars and the
insurance of a fire.
HE would frame up q babe of a yarn,
describing the fire in general terms, but
he could have written that without SO
much as leaving the office to look at the
fire.
Well. when I saw him the other day
he was standing with the crowd on
street off Broadway, looking at the
smoke pouring out of the windows of
big furniture store I walked up behind
him and ciapped him on the back sud
denly.

the insurance YETI

Say, you look out for that end If It,
will you and I'll do the lurid glares
and lambert flames
Then we adjourned to a place near
by, and extinguished a few inward
flames of onr own.
From the slender STRIPPING that he
used to be in the old days, Mr.. DoOley
is now a solid chunk of a smooth faced
chap, weighing about 1870 pounds. If net
