PRESERVING MEAT BY STEAM.
Australian Method Which Is Em'
 ployed on Steamships.

"Keeping meats sweet and pure in a refrigerator by means of steam sounds bit queer, doesn't it?" I was asked by George L. Cameron, super- intendent of a meat-packing establish ment, who continued in explanation without awaiting an answer, says the St. Louis Globe-D Democrat. "Yet that is a method now in vogue on the big steamers which carry meats from this country and from Australia to Europe. Meat placed in refrigerators, where the atmosphere is kept continually at an average of from 36 to 40 degrees, will remain free but not entirely untainted for an indefinite period.
 q think Australians solved the prob lem first. They worried over the sub. ject for a long time and adopted ex- pedient after eXpedient, tried experi- ment after experiment. but all without avail, until some one thought of using steam to volatiliize the gases which caused these annoying conditions and draw them off. A steam pipe was placed in a wooden duct at the bot tom of a refrigerator chamber stored with meat; the gases of this kind are low-lying and the duct led directly to the brine tanks. This experiment. oc- cured at Sydney and for eighty-nine days the refrigerator compartment was kept closed, at the end of which time 1t was opened, the meat drawn forth and every piece thoroughly test ed. It was as fresh and pure, with out the slightest suggestion of bone odor or mold, as on the day it was packed. The bases had been volatil- ized by the steam, carried off by the wooden duct and the entire noXious conditions purified by the brine tanks. With this aid to the refrigerator proc ess, provided care be taken that the temperature never falls below freeZ- ing point, save occasionally, so that the meat will not become frozen, meat may now be kept for years and be perfectly fresh when taken forth for consumption"

MYSTERIOUS TRAPDOOR.
Strange Story of Subterranean Pas.
 sage from Mrs. SiddOns' House.

Upper Baker street has got a mys- tery. A discovery has been made in the ruins of the house of the famous Sarah Siddons, which it is thought may lead to the disclosure of subter- ranean passage from q remote cellar of the great actress house to desti- nation unknown
 In the course of the demolition of the building, in connection with the Baker Street x Waterloo Railway op- erations, an iron trap door was found in the basement. A few blows of a sledge hammer smashed it, revealing pit about three by two feet, resem- bling the manhole to a sewer.
 The pit is ck-lined, and iron hand holds are fixed in the walls. The depth is probably twelve to fourteen feet, but no one has as yet ventured down. Investigations are to be resumed in about week.
 The startling part of the discovery is that Baker street has always sedulous- ly nursed a tradition that there exists a subterranean passage from Mrs. Sid dons' house to one of the houses oppo- site. The story runs that George V., while Prince Regent, used to pay sur reptitious visits to the mysterious ''house opposite" by means of an un- derground tunnel.
 It must be borne in mind, however, that when Mrs. Siddons took the lease of the house in Upper Baker street she was 62, and the prince regent was B.
 Incidentally, it is curious to recall that allusions to a supposed subter- ranean passage in Baker street were made tn the celebrated Duce case.- London Daily Mail.

Bird Bower Builders.

There are five different bower birds three in Australia, the regent, the satin and the spotted; one in the Papu- an Islands, the catbird, and one in New Guinea. Their brilliant plumage is galden yellow, glossy black or spotted brown, often with rose tinted collar. Their bowers are in no sense nests, but miniature gardens, adapted for en- joyment and courtship and set in the eye of the sun. A pavement of equal sized pebbles is arranged, and number less twigs are thrust firmly between them in two parallel rows, inclined to each other, inclosing an avenue about yard long and several inches wide. To decorate this arbor gay feathers, ruddy berries, pearly shells, bleached bones, even watches, knives and other glittering objects are tastefully placed in and around the entrance. The New Guinea bird, still more of gardener, constructs miniature conical summer house, with internal gallery. Before thi is meadow of moss, kept free from grass, dust, leaves on which bright flowers and fruit are daily of- fered by the enamored male bird to his mate

Is Your Name DOwn7

If every citizen of the United States is an American, and it is generally accepted that he is entitled to that classification-then there is great many wicked Americans in the coun- try.
 Nearly 5OOOO were arrested in Chi cago last year. They all claimed to be Americans, and declared that they could give proof of native birth or papers of adoption. These self-styled Americans head the list in the matter of arrests, without counting the ne- groes, who were represented in the police records by 6,4S5 of their breth- ren.
 The "peaceable" Germans were next in line, which will be something Of, surprise. There were 5,295 who ac' knowledged the vaderland, but who failed to keep the peace in this coun- try. And then came the Irish, With 3,116 arrests to their creditor dis credit. The Italians had only 1,714 countrymen in the tolls, being beaten by the Poles, who were represented by 3,9O3. The Bohemians had 992. The Swiss made the best record--because they are fewer of them, and, consid- ering their number, the heather" Chinee are the best citizens. But 1O4 of them were arrested in Chicago dur ing the last fiscal year.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

DISPOSED OF GARBAGE
How Two French Cities Manage to
 Keep the Streets Clean.


 In the city of Lyons, France, no spe- cial means have ever been employed for the disposition of garbage, says the Municipal Journal and Engineer. The inhabitants of the city generally live in apartments. They dump their garbage into large tubs which are placed in the entrance to the building and which, when full, are left on the curb of the street to be carried away in carts that call daily before 10 o'clock Q. m. The contractors who carry off this garbage are free to do what they please with it. The work costs the city annually about $55,6 ,633
 The streets of Lyons are swept three times week with heavy hickory brooms. They are washed daily with water driven from hydrants through long hose. The water is thus squirt ed into the cracks between the stones, and whatever refuse may remain after the sweeping is thus drained off into the sewers. All the work of cleaning the streets is done by manual labor, no machines being used.
 The two rivers Rhone and Saone flow through the city, and the waste water from the apartments. is carried off into one of them by sewers, accord ing to the proximity to one or the other of the streams.
 The exact cost per cubic floor or per ton of removing and destroying gar bage is not knwn. In Paris, where the garbage was burned, the entire oper- ation-removing interest on plant at per cent-costs AS cents ton. The rubbish generally receives the care full attention of ragpickers and after 1t has been conveyed to the incinera- tor number of ragpickers are author ized, as a special privilege, to go through the mass of debris and appro- priate what they find, such as bits of tin, sardine boxes, fruit cans, corks pieces of glass and bottles, scraps of paper, wood, etc. All the scraps thus rescued from the incinerator find ready purchasers-the tin and solder remaining on the tin are used in the manufacture of toys for children; the corks are ground up and reconstruct ed into cork bark or are sent to lino~ leum factories. The work of picking over the rubbish for salable things will hereafter be confined to employees of the city.

SETTLING UP IN THE SOUTH.
Primitive Business Meth ds in Mount.
 ainous Part of Tennessee.


 ainous Part of Tennessee.
 Il have just completed my first busi- ness trip through the South," said a New York commercial traveller whose territory heretofore has been the Northwest Except in the larger cities l found merchants doing busi- ness by tue old methods.
 ''In some of the mountain towns the o.d credit system still prevails. l do not know just how they do it, but think it is on some system of reef procity.
 "I was in store in eastern Ten nessee when an old family doctor came in to settle his account. The merchant owed him for professional services, and he owed the merchant for dry goods and groceries After they had compared accounts, the merchant owed the doctor something over a dollar.
 "'Shall we settle up now or let 1t go over on next years account? asked the merchant.
 ".I reckon we'd better settle now,' was the reply. I have patient up the creek that needs some cod liver oil, and as l haven't any, and you have, you can square by giving me the difference in cod liver
 "'The cod liver is only dollar, Doc, and l still owe you something over. Do you think of any little thing you'd like to make it even, or how?
 "The merchants stock was general merchandise, including druggists sun dries. The old doctor looked around for a few minutes and then said:
 "'You might make the balance in a porous plaster. I've got to put one on Jim Hofllngton, who sprained his back yesterday trying to pry his wagon out of the mire.'
 "The merchant got out the article and handed it over. Then he figured and said:
 That leaves me five cents in your debt, Doc How'll you have it?
 "You might give me a nickePs worth of court plaster to make it even. Eve got case about mile out where it'll come in handy.
 And so the account was squared.
 Another thing I noticed in the Southern towns that 1 never saw in the North or Northwest, most of the newspapers print chapter from the Old Testament in each issue. If not chapter, they print verse.
 "I was told that in some of the set dement's these chapters or texts were cut out by the subscribers and put into scrapbooks. They may have been stringing me about that."-New York Sun.

JAPAN'S SILENT sOLDIERa
Observations of Woman at Whose House Two Detachments Chartered.

House Two Detachments Chartered.
 My friend, Baroness >, dined with me tonight said Tokio corre- spondent. In commenting on the days doings, she said that fifteen soldiers and three officers were quartered at her house on Tuesday and eighteen soldiers and four officers on Thursday.
 Without regard to rank or circum- stances the government decrees that on a given date certain houses shall receive troops coming from the coun- try io excess of the number the bar racks can accommodate. This week it was the baroness turn thus to supply lodgings.
 A furious storm swept over Iokio on Thursday, and knowing that the sol diers had long march from Chilba, across the bay, the baroness gave them up when they did not arrive at sun set. It was long after midnight when the weary detachment reached her house.
 They came silently. Only the crunch ing of gravel under foot of man or beast was audible.
 The four officers dismounted noise lessly and prostrated themselves be- fore the hostess, thanking her in true Japanese fashion for so graciously re- ceiving the humble party.
 The library and smoking room had been turned over to them, futons were spread on the floor of the cool veran-' equally well on the servants side of the house, and the horses champed at their bits when led to the private sta bles-a luxury unknown for many a day to the poor beasts.
 The cooks and servants had supper ready for all, it being the custom to feed these visiting soldiers from the private larder rather than on the gov ernment ration. They expressed i'm mense satisfaction over the generous supply and were very much awed by their surroundings.
 Bath tickets were then furnished, and, after gaining permission from their officers to leave the premises, they sought the nearest bathhouse in true Japanese fashion, and after their bath quietly crept back for Q few hours sleep.
 All the next day they went about as silently as the deaf and dumb, and in stocking feet, lest their coarse shoes should mar the foors-never tres passing in the smallest way but gazing wOnderingly on city sights-they were country boys-and especially on the lovely flowers in Baroness S-'s fam- ous garden.
 No matter how interested they were, they religiously avoided looking in the direction where the family might be assembled and but for the evidence of sight the baroness would not have known of their presence.
 They had never seen foreign house, and when she took them through 1t they whispered solemnly together, paused long before the pictures and or naments in the drawing room, walked almost apologetically on the soft rugs, and when their eyes beheld a fine pie ture of their Emperor with one accord they prostrated themselves before him.
 Night fell again. In the gray morn ing light my friend saw these soldiers go forth as silently as they came.- New York Sun.
