Natural ice is never clean, for when the water freezes all the dirt that is floating on the surface freezes into it, and freezing does not kill most germs as boiling them does, ‘When the ico melts in the refriger- atos-all the dirt thaws out and runs into the ice chamber and clings to the Bides of the waste pipe in the form of a sticky slime that is an ideal breeding ground for any disease germs that it may happen to con- tain, for the temperature of the aver- age refrigerator is not cold enough to check their growth, ‘To make tho refrigerator a safe re~ oeptacle for food it should be washed out at least every two weeks in win ter and once a week during hot weather with boiling hot soda water. The easiest way to do this is to put @ big saucepan full of water on the stove, let it come to a boil and then stir in os muclywashing soda as will dissolve and keep it at Lis temperature while you take all the food from the shelves of the refrigerator and lift the {ce from the Ice chamber. It is best to put this in a big dishpan, for youwill need to use the sink for washing the shelves and tube. Next take out the shelves and the rack that is under the ice and, using a string mop, scrub them off with the boiling soda water. If they are very dirty and dingy looking they can he also scrubbed with the scrubbing and soap aud Water, but they should ‘be well rinsed with hot water, or you do not want any odor of strong soap to permeate the food in the refrigerator, Wipe the shelves dry before they are put in place again. ‘The worst germ trap fn any re ea off rator In the pipe that ear the water from the m Phia gets clogged with a black substance composed of dirt and Ath that ooze from the ica.

Written at the height of the Civil War it caused a sensation, The circumstantiol character of the story prompted the belief that It was true in all its details, This the author denied in a preface to a later edition; but despite his denial, the belle? has persisted with many Persons that the story was founded on fact, He gives some interesting information unon ti subject in the following introduction: T ment, nation, It is wholly a fiction, “founded on |fact." ‘The facts on which it is founded are these—that Aaron Burr sailed down the Mississippi River in 1805, again in 1806, and was tried for treason in 1807, The rest, with one exception to be moticed, is all fic- | titious, | It was my intention that the ste HIS story was written in the summer of 1863, as a contri- bution, ,however humble, toward the formation of a Just and true national senti- or sentiment of love to the should have been published with no author's name, other than that of Capt, Frederic Ingham, U N Whether writing under bis name or my own, L have taken no liberties with history other than such as every writer of fletion is privileged to take —indeed, must take, if fiction ts to be written at all, ‘The story baving been once pub- lished, it parsed out of my hands, From tagi moment it has gradually acquured different accessories, for which I am not responsible, Thus I have heard it sald, that at one bureau of the Navy Depatment they say that Nolan was pardoned, tm fact, and re- turned home to die, At another bureau, [| am told, the answer to questions is, that, though it ia true that an officer was kept abroad all A Boston, his name was not Nolan. in je friend of mine who discredits all tradition, recol- lects this "Nolan court mart One of the most accurate of my younger friends had noticed Nolan's death in the newspaper, but ected "that jit wae in September, and not in rec August.’ A lady in Baltimore writes me, I believe in good faith, that Nolan has two widowed sisters resid~ ing in that neighborhood. A corre- spondent of the Philadelphia De- @ *patch believed “the article untrue, as the United States Corvette Levant Was lost at sea nearly three years since, betwoen San Francisco and San Juan.” I may remark that this uncertainty as to the place of her loss rather adds to the probability of her turning up after three years in Lat, 2° 11’ S,, Long, 131° W, A writer in the New Orleans Picayune, in a careful historical paper, explained at length that I bad been mistaken ail through; that Philip Nolan never went to sea, but to Texas; that there he was shot in battle, March 21, 1801, and by orders from Spain every fifth man of his party was to be shot had they not died in prison, With all thes@ continuations, how ever, I have nothing to do. 1 can only repeat that my Philip Nolan is pure fiction, [ cannot send hia book to my friend who asks for it, because I have it not to send, I remembered, when I was collect- ing material for my story, that in Wilkinson's galimatias which ho 1s his “Memoirs,” 1s frequent ref- rence to @ business partner of his, of » name of Nolan, who, in the very nning of this century, was killed Whenever Wilkinson found It in rather a deeper bog than usual, he used to justify himself by saying that he could not explain such or such a charge because referring to it were lost when Mr, Nolan was imprisoned in Texas." Finding this mythical character in the mythical legends of a mythical time, I took the liberty to give him cousin, rather more mythical, whose adventures should be on the seas, I d the impression that Wilkinson's “the paper d was named Stephen—and as » C spoke of him in the early editions of this story. But long after this tho Ay an hero was named was printed, I found that W Orleans paper was right in s ing that the Te If I had forgotten him and his ©, I can only say that Mr, Jeffer- son, who did not forget him, aban- doned him and his--when the Span- ish Government murdered him and imprisoned his associates for life, That the Texan Philip Nolan played an tmportant, though forgotten part in our national history. der will understand--when I say that the terror of the Spanish Government, ex- elted by his adventures, governed all thetr policy regarding Texas and Lotisiana also, till the last territory the r was no longer thelr own. If any reader considers the inven- tion of @ cousin too great a liberty to take in fiction, I venture to remind him that “'Tis sixty years since;” and that I should have the highest authority in literature even for muoh greater liberties taken with annals so far removed from our time, it passes on ships which had no exist- ence, is vouched for by officers who never lived, Its hero is in two or three places at the same time, under @ process wholly impossible under any conceivable administration of affairs, When my friend, Mr. W. H. Reed, sent me from City Point in Virginia, the record of the death of Philip Nolan, @ negro from Louisiana, who died in the cause of his country in service in a colored regiment, I felt that he had done something to atone for the imagined gullt of the tmag- ined namesake of his unfortunate godfather, E, BE. i. ‘OSE that very few casual readers of the New York Herald of Aug. 13 ob- served, in an obscure corner, among the “Deaths,” the an- nouncement: NOLAN—Died on board U. 8, Corvette Levant, Jat, 2° 11’ 8, Long, 181° W., om the Lith of May, PHULIP NOLAN, T happened to observe it, because I was stranded at the old Mission House in Mackinaw, waiting for a Lake Superior steamer which did not choose to come, and I was devouring to the very stubble all tho current literature I could get hold of, even down to the deaths and marriages in the Herald, My memory for names and people is good, and the reader Will see, as he goes on, that I had reason enough remember Philip Nolan, Thero are hundreds of read ers who would have paused at that announcement, if the officer of Levant who reported It had chosen to make it thus: “Died, May 11, The Man Without a Country." For it was as “The Man Without @ Country” that Philip Nolan bud generally been Known by the officers who had him in charge during some fifty years, 4s indeed by all the men who sailed under them, I dare say there is many to the a man who has taken wine with him once a fortnight ta a cruise, three years’ who never knew that his The Patrol of the Sun Dance Trail A Big, Vital Story of Life in thy Page April 23 name wag “Nolan,” or whether the wretch had any name at al), There can now be no possible harm in telling this poor creature's story. Reason enough there has been till now, ever since Madison's Adminis- tration went out in 1817, for very strict secrecy, the secrecy of honor itself, among the gentlemen of the navy who have bad Nolan in suc- cessive charge, And certamly it speaks well for the esprit de corps of the profession, and the personal honor of its members, that to the press this man’s étory has been wholly unknown-—and I think to the country at large also, I bave reason to think, from some investigations I made in the Naval Archives when I was attached to the Bureau of Con- struction, that every official report re- lating to him was burned when Ross burned the public buildings at Wash- ington, One of the Tuckers, or possl- bly one of the Watsons, had Nolan in charge at the end of the war; and when, on returning from his cruise he reported at Washington to one of the Crowninshields—who was tn the Navy Department when he came home—he found that the department ignored the whole business. Whether they really knew nothing about it or whether it was a "Non mi ricordo," determined on aa a plece of policy, I do not know. But this I do know, that since 1817, and possibly before. no naval officer has mentioned Nolan in his report of a cruise, But, as I say, there is no need for ecrecy any longer, And now the poor creature ts it seems to me worth while to tell a little of his story, by way of showing young Americans of to-day what It 1s to be A Man Without @ Country, Philip Nolan was as fine u young officer as there was in the "Legion of the West,” as the Western Division of our ary was then called, When Aaron Burr made bis first dashing expedition down to Now Orleans in 1805, at Fort Massac, or somewhere above on the river, be mot, as the devil would have it, this gay, dash- ing, bright young fellow at some din- ner party, I think, Murr marked him, talked to him, walked wi took him @ day or two's voyage In his flat. boat, and in short, fascinated bim, For the next year barrack life was very tame to poor Nolan Northwest He occasionally avatied himself of the permission the great man had given him to write to him, Long, high-worded, atilted letters the poor doy wrote and rewrote and copied. But never a line did he have in reply from the gay deceiver. The other boys in tho garrison sneered at him, because he sacrificed in this unre- quited affection for @ politician the time which they devoted to Monoa- gahela, bazard, and high-low jack. Hourbon, euchre and poker were atill unknown, But one day Nolan had his revenge. This time Burr camo down the river, hot as an attorney seoking « place for hia office, but as a disguised con- queror, He had dofeated I know not how many district attorneys; he had dined at I know not how many pub- He dinngrs; he had been heralded in £ know not how many Weekly Arguses, and it w ed that army nd fore 8 rur he behind him him, It be. his was a great day Arrival—to poor Nolan, Murr bad not been at tho fort an hour before he sent for him, That evening ho asked Nolan to take him out tp his skiff, to show him & canebrake or a ertton- wood tree, as he fail—really to se duce him; and by the time the sall was over, Nolan was enlisted body and soul, From that timo, though he did not yet know it, man without he lived as @ a country What Burr meant to do I know no more than you, dear reader It ta none of our business just now, Only, when the grand catastrophe came, and Jefferson and the House of Vi ginia of that day undertook to break on the wheel all the ¢ Clar ences of the then House of York, by the great treason trial at Hichmond, some of the lesser fry in that distant Mississippl Valley, which was further from us than Puget Sound is to- day, introduced the lk welty on their provincial stage, and, to while away the monotony of the summer at Fort Adama, got up, for spectacles, @ string of court-martials on the off- cers thore, One and another of the coloneis and majors were tried, and to fill out the lst, little Nolan, against whom Heaven knows, there was evid ° enough hat he was sick of tho ser vice, had een willing to be false to it, and would have obeyed any order to march any-whither with any one who would follow him hud been signed, “By cominand Exe.
