Care of the Refrigerator.

One of the most important things in
the household economy is the refriger-
ator and its care is matter of great re-
sponsibility and one well worth under
standing.
The refrigerator should not be kept in
tie cellar or other damp location, but
should always be placed where it can be
well lighted and drained. The sewer
pipe should not be allowed to connect
with the refrigerator. A new refriger-
ator should stand from twelve to twenty
four hours after the ice chamber is filled
before any food is put in it.
Up-to-date houses have separate re-
frigerators for milk and butter and meat,
with still another compartment for fruit
and vegetables. The vegetable and milk
compartments are lined and shelved with
heavy glass. Where there is no separated
and quarantined division, neither fish,
cheese, cabbage, onions nor bananas
should be kept in the general refrigerator.
Their flavor will affect the other food,
and render the butter, milk and any
gelatinous preparations absolutely unfit
to eat. When artificial ice is used, one
must take care not to let fish come in
contact with it, as the ammonia used in
the freezing affects the fish. Meat
should never be laid directly on the ice,
natural or artificial, as it extracts all the
good meat juices.
Ice should always be washed and laid
carefully in the ice-box, not thrown in.
In getting ice, one should use as large a
piece as possible at first, so that the re-
frigeIator may become thoroughly cool
ed, after which keep full or nearly so, of
much faster. In small ice box, twenty
five pounds put in three times week is
more economical than a smaller piece
put in daily.
In taking ice from the refrigerator for
table use, no more than is absolutely
needed should be picked off on account
of its melting so much more rapidly
when in small pieces. Food should
never be kept in the refrigerator without
ice and with cover and doors tightly
closed; neither should food be placed in
the refrigerator until thoroughly cooled,
as it occasions moisture. Chemicals
must be kept out of the ice-box, and all
hooks must be heavily timed.
Once week is often enough to wash
the refrigerator if thoroughly done, and
if ordinary care is taken of the arti-
cles stored in it. Remove everything
from the inside, put the shelves in a
large dishpan, and wash in hot soapsuds
in which some soda has been dissolved.
Rinse with cold water, wipe perfectly
dry, and put in the sun for an hour to
dry. The sides of the refrigerator
should be washed in the same way. Use
flexible wire for the drain-pipe, and
skewers for the corners and grooves.
Pour warm water in the waste-pipe to
clear the slime that accumulates from
the ice, and the job is done.-New Idea.

A CONTINUAL STRAIN.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because of some
financial or family trouble. 1t wears
and distresses them both mentally and
physically, affecting their nerves badly
and bringing on liver and kidney all
ments, with the attendant evils of con-
stipation, loss of appetite, sleeplessness,
low vitality and dependency. They
cannot, as rule, get rid of this "con-
tinual strain" but they can remedy its
misunderstanding effects by taking fire.

"rhe Dog VIII Have His Day."

In Hamlet" act /, scene |, we read:
Let Hercules himself do what he may.
The cat will NEW. the dog will have his
day.
The latter line has become Il popular
saying, but we are naturally inclined
to ask what it means. Why should Il
dog have Il day all to himself any more
than any other four footed creature?
Is not the passage piece Of silly slang,
and ought it not to be suppressed, like
any other cant phrase that is born in
the streets? TO harmonic the verse
with sense and Shakespeare friend
has suggested that the last word ought
to be changed to bay. We should then
read. "Thc cat will new, the dog will
have his bay" | have no doubt that
Shakespeare wrote 1t so and that the
word day is misprint and nonsense.

and dogs baying Is self evident and in
elligible.-kansas City Independent.

RULES AGAINST
DISTRACTIONS
Board of Works Causes the
Clearing of Sidewalks in
the Wholesale District

Commissioner Woodward of the
Board of Public Works made an official
investigation late Friday afternoon re-
garding complaints filed that the whole
sale merchants in the district bounded
by Bush, California, Montgomery and
Battery streets are continually block
aiding the sidewalks with their cases of
merchandise. Woodward found several
offenders in that regard, and these were
sidewalks
Other merchants had taken the pre-
caution to remove their cases before
Woodward made his appearance, so the
conditions We're found to be not so ag-
gravated as the complaints would lead
one to believe. The Board of Works
will see to it that all sidewalks will be
kept clear in the future, and the mer-
chants promised to cooperate with it
and comply with the law regulating the
free and unobstructed use of the side
walks.
Lowell White, who has inclosed with
fences two blocks of land constituting
Charter Oak street southerly from Sill
yer avenue, notified the Board of
Works yesterday through Thomas Ma
gee & Sons that the fence would be
taken down within the next sixty days.
The land covers an area Of 800 by 100
