Apropos of recires, Mr Walter Besnnt in the Queen, gives the following "wrinkle" how to get ice-finld water in places where there is no ice. Wrap a jug— a porous jsiff, one of those common earthernware things—in flannel—wet flannel—wrap it all round, leaving no place exposed to the air; place it. filled with water—or with clnret cup, which eoma sinners prefer to water, in an open window, exposed to all tha air there is. Keep the flannel wet; in nn hour the contents of that jui* will be almost as cool as if they had been iced. This is a tropical trick which tricks the tropics.
