EDAM CHEESE Thus fax the Neither
landers have maintained the "call" Of
the market supplying the civilized, and a.
good deal Of the uncivilized world, too,
withawhat is popularity known as "pine- -
apple cheese. Very excellent cheeseiit
is, too--this Dutch pineapple, keeping in
all climates capitally, and alwsysqc.m-
manding ready sale at good prices. This
is the llollanders formula for making .,
Edam cheese. 10 ltis simple enough. and .
the Holland "pine apples't may just as
easily be made in the United States,
wherever four or five co ws are kept. as il
is in the Netherla, ds:
The fresh, sweet milk is curdled with
muria,ic acid or spirits Of salt. and tho
curd cut and chopped aud manipulated in
the most thorough manner in order to ex-
pei every particle Of whey. The curd is
then soaked in brine Of sufficient
strength to float an egg for an hour The
brine is then worked out. and the curd
subjected to heavy pressure in iron
rnoulds that give the pine apple from to
the cheese After from four to five hours
pressing the cheese is taken from the
eorm and anointed with soft butter, having
as much fine salt worked into it as it
will hold. Thus finished up they set
siugly in rows on shelves in a cool, airy
, place, and with months curing are in .
!. fit condition to eld abroad, and will keep
for years in auy climate.
The largest of the Sc Datch cheese never

gallons Of milk. So at any farm houss

ting down of the heat induces a state Of
depression in place Of an active condition.,
and the system is not as able to retact

the water. So one coming out of heated
place OF public resort should avoid getting
cool before going out into the cold air:
aud should at once proceed home, walking
briskly in order to increase the genera.

vital injury from the impression of cold
in riding home from the ball or party
with too little clothing. but let it be re-
membered that the chief injury is in fact
inflicted by the exhaustion occasioned by
keeping such late hours in the midst Of d.

INFLUENCE OF CHANGES OF TEMPERA
'iuI TURE ON uEALTH.


It is a very common idea that expos
ures to marked changes Of temperature,
especially from heat to cold, are Of course
| injurious. 1t is therefore enjoincd upon
the batber, who has become heated
in going to his bathing place, to
get cooled off before he plunges into the
water, either by remaining at rest tor a
while, or partial application of water at
the outset. So, also, DIR. Rush directed,
iu order to avoid the evil effects ofdripk-
iug cold water when the body is greatly
heated, that the vessel Of water should be
grasped in both hands, and held for some
time that the extreme heat may passoff
gradually, and thus prevent the shock
from the strong impression of cold upon
the stomach and through that npon the
system. But all this does not agree with
certain practices in bathing currentl An
some quarters. The Russians, for exam.
pie, go directly from their hot baths and

roll in snow. Neither does il agree will

THE BRIDES DEATH.


There is little flower which grows
wild, or with little care, in the gardens OF
southern France, which the country folks
call by name which is best interpreted
"Ihe Brides Death"
1t is a little, blue, frail, innocent thing.
Yet, if you ask the reason of It's name
any peasant girl in Languedoce will telr
the same story. ......t
There lived, within sight of the Rhone
years ago, an old chemist and his daugh
ter. He was German by birth, hut had
married French woman, and since that
day dwelt in her native land. His name
was Werner. His daughters Aptoinette

aroused to anger utterly ppcasable
until she had in some way punished The
offender, and with her quarrel was nev

with other girls 1t was lucky thing
that she quarelled very rarely. f.lg
Being beautiful, aud, IN the peasants
eyes an heircss of some Importance, evel
the dread which was generally entertain
ed of old Werner, on account of his mys
terious chemist lore, did not keep suitor
from the door. .,.r, t0-.l
But Antoinette looked coldly on tn
sterncr sex, until one autumn morniu
the young Marquis of Grenohle wa
