LABOR SAYING While travelling
among the cheese factories in Madison
county, N. Y, recently, l visited the
Smith Valley factory One feature in
the management of this factory is wor-
thy OF notice. This is leaving press
cloth on the ends of the cheese while
curing. The cloths they use are square,
| would prefer round ones After the
bandage is drawn on, place on the end
a round cloth the size of the cheese, then
a square press cloth as USUAL Put ON the
hoop and turn the cheese, then place an
other round cloth under the follower.
When taken from the press, leave round
cloths until the cheese goes to market.
These are then taken off and cleansed in
boiling whey, which renders them fit for
future use. The came cloth will answer
for years.
The following advantage results from
this plan: The cheese requires no grease.
They are free from cracking. They do
not adhere to the counters They take
much less rubbing and care than they
would if treated in the ordinary way.
This strikes me as an Improvement, and
| think it should be practiced generally

Mir. John Hart is creating great fu-
rore in minstrel hall in New York by
his perfect delineatlons Of negro character.
He was once a millionaire. When the
oil fever broke out in Pennsylvania, MIR.
Hart owned hundred acres of wild land
near Tideoute, Pa, worth about sixteen
cents an acre. lie was then running a
canal boat on the Delaware and Hudson
Canal. In the fall Of 1864. several i'm
mense oil wells were discovered on Mr..
Har.'s land.-Stock companies were for
med in which he was prominent share
holder, and at one time he was offered
S5O0,OO for his interest. This was re-
fused He left the canal, built most
magnificent private residence, wore dia-
monds Of almost fabulous value, and
seemed made of money. At one time he
was prominent candidate for congress,
but failed to secure a nomination through
the inertness Of trusted friend. For
tunes wheel suddenly turned backward
Mr.. Hart was inveigled into more oil
speculations, and within three years was
without a penny. He then turned his
attention to negro minstrelsy, and is said
to be superior to either Dan Bryant, L. d,
Rice, or Can Emmit in his delneations Of
negro character. lie speaks four differ
ent languages, and has travelled in Eu-
rope and Australia, He was once wrecked
in the Straits Of Magellan, and spent two
months in destitution on the Island of
Terra del Fuego, lie is now playing
an engagement at asalary ofSlOO aweek.

g Terrible Deaf"

TN olden times, before Maine laws were
4 invented, Hall kept the hotel at Ir-
vington, n. j.. and furnished accommoda-
ton to man and beast. He was good
landlord, but terrible deaf. The village
painter was afflicted in some way. One
day they were sitting by themselves In
the bar-room. Hall was sitting behind
the counter waiting for the next custom
er, while the village painter was lounging
before the fire with a thirsty look, casting
sleeps eyes occasionally at Halls decan-
ters, and wishing most devoutly that some
one would come in and treat. A traveller
ON his way to Brandon stepped in to in
quire the distance
Can you tell me, sir, how far it is to
Brandon ?"
Brandy" says the ready landlord,
jumping up; eyes, sir, lhaye some," at
the same time handing down decanter
of tho precious liquor.
"You misunderstood me-" says the
traveller " | asked how far it was to
Brandon"
"They call it pretty good brandy" says
Hall. "Will you take sugar with it,"
reaching as he spoke for the bowl and
stirring stick.
The despairing traveller turned to the
village painter. "The landlord" said
he, appears to be deaf. viii you tell me
how far it is to Brandon 2"
"Thank you" said the painter" DON'T
care if do drink with you.
The traveller treated and fed.

A Bet Decided.

Not many years since there lived in
the moral city of Boston, two young
bucks, rather waggish in their ways, and
who were in the habit Of patronzing
rather extensively, a tailor by the name
of Smith. Well, one day, into Smiths
shop these young gentsstrolled-" Smith,
we've been making a bet: now we want
you to make each Of u.s. suit Of clothes
wait till the bet is decided, and then
the one who loses will pay the whole" ]"
" Certainly, gentlemen L shall be most
happy to serve YOU" says Smith and
forthwith their measures were taken and
in due course of time the clothes were
sent home, A month or two passed by,
and yet our friend, the tailor, saw nothing
Of his two customers. One day, however,
he met them in Washington Street, and
thinking it almost time the bet was de-
cded, he made up. to them, and asked
how their clothes fitted.
Cob! excellently," says one; by the
way, Smith, our bet isn't decided yet"
"Ah" says Smith, what is it :"
Why said one, l bet that the first
day in the year 1910 would be rainy; Bill
here took me up, and when the bet is de-
cided, Wen call and pay that little bill"

A Clerical Joke.

nLD Doctos Strong, of Hartford,
W Conn, was not often outwitted by
his people On one occasion, he invited
a young minister to preach for him, who
proved rather dull speaker, and whose
sermon was unusually long. The people
became wearied, and as Doctor Strong
lived near the bridge, near the COM
mencement of the afternoon service he
saw his people focking across the river to
the other chuch. He readily understood
that they feared they should have to hear
the same young man in the afternoon.
Gathering up his wits, which general
ly came at his bidding, he said to the
young minister:
My brother across the river is rather
feeble, and | know he will take it kindly
to have you preach to his people, and if
you will consent to do SO, l will give
you note to him, and will be as
much obliged to you us would to have
you preach for me and | want you to
preach the same sermon that you preach
ed to my people this morningi'
The young minister, supposing this to
be commentator Of his sermon started
off in good spirits, delivered his note, and
was invited to preach most cordially lie
saw before him ono-half Of DR.. Strong's
people, and they had to listen one hour
and half. to the same dull humdrum
sermon that they heard in the morning,
They understood the joke, however, and
they said they would never undertake to
run away from Strong again.

circumstances, small in stature, and with
a very eileminatc, squeaking voice, rose
to give in piece Of his experience, which
was done in the following manner.
Brethren, have been member Of
this church for many years have seen
hard times; my family has been much
afflicted but | have for the first time in
my life to see my pastor Or any Of the
trustees Of this church cross the thresh-

No sooner had he uttered this part of
his experience, than he was suddenly in
terrupted by one Of the trustees, an aged
man, who rose and said in firm, load
voice: My dear brother, you must put
the devil behind you" On his TAX
his seat the pastor in charge quietly rose
