Patent Artificial Cheese.

The Z tica Herald remarks as follows
upon the manufacture of a new kind of
cheese, for which patent was recently
granted:
The insertion of the prepared solid
fat of the body to take the place of the
fat taken from the milk, is not alone
employed to make an imitation of but
ter. It is reported that, as fat and but
termilk are employed to make artificial
bntter, SO fat and skim milk are used to
make artificial cheese. The aims in
volved are similar in either case, al
though the methods of manipulation
are, of course, varied. It is reported
that factory is in operation in Brook
lyn, where the olein and margarin ex-
pressed from the intestine fat of cattle
is intimately mixed with skim milk, an.
the rennet then poured in, producing q
cllrd rich in oil, which can be cured, and
sold for cheese. Here we.have proc
ess for putting back into skim milk
an animal oil in the place of the cream
| which has been removed. We have
heard that something of this kind has
| been practiced nearer to Utica than
| Brooklyn. It is an ingenious device
for adulteration, and nothing more nor
/ less. No matter if the oil derived from
| the tallow be chemically pure, still the
/ ninging of it with milk to take the
place of cream is adulteration, and
though it may not be change of com
position which produces an unhealthfu
material, it is a change which occasions
| a loss of value. Thus the schemes fo1
artificial butter and cheese are fraudu
| lent at the outset, and even when W.
suppose that none but the purest oil
and fats are used. IF these compound
come into any wide consumption ther
will be materials used variously dis
guised which are wholly unfit fo
entrance into the system. Then vii
the evils of an enterprise which nov
seems only mildly Objectionable be rec
ognized and deprecated.

Foolish Habits.

DR.. Hall enumerates several practices
of the careless public, which are some
time as dangerous as they are foolish:
Walking along the streets with the
point of an umbrella sticking out be-
yond, under the arm or over the
shoulder. By suddenly stopping to
speak to friend. or other cause, per-
son walking in the rear had his brain
penetrated through the eye, and died
in few days.
To carry long pencil in vest or out
side coat pocket. Not long since a
clerk in New York fell, and his long
cedar pencil so pierced an important
artery that it had to be cut down6rom
the top of the shoulder to prevent his
bleeding to death.
10 take exercise, or walk for the
health, when every step is a drag, and
instinct urges repose.
To guzzle down glass of cold water,
on getting up in the morning, without
any feeling of thirst, under the impress
sion of the health giving nature of its
washing out qualities.
To sit down at the table and Sc force
yourself to eat, when there is not only
no appetite, but decided aversion te
food.
To take glass of soda, or toddy, o.
sangaree, or mint drops on a summer
| day, under the belief that it is safe
and better than glass of water.
To persuade yourself that you are
destroying one unpleasant odor by in
PRODUCING stronger one that is, tt
sweeten your unwashed garments ane
person by enveloping yourself in tht
fumes of musk, eau de cologne, or ros,
water the best perfume being clear
skin and well-washed clothing.

Obituary.

Last week we wrote an item about
two pears and noted their weight as II
pounds. It got into the paper 13k
pounds.
Bisname was Hunter who set the item.
and he would have been an ornament
to the profession in due time. Hepossess-
sed all the noble qualities of mind and
heart that tend to make the compositor
of the day beloved and esteemed by
good penmen. He could, when at his
best, take the pathos out of an obit-
uary, the point off of a joke, the senti-
ment out of matrimonial puff, or the
piety out of a Sunday school conven-
ton report, with the ease and grace
that would have set old Job on the rag
ged edge. He was, too, promoter of
the cause of religion. In that line he
had no equal. No man could be
around him fifteen minutes without real
izing the necessity of some plan of
salvation, some refuge far away from
this sinful world, where all was purity
and the inhabitants washed their feet.
And he was no monopolist either He
set his face squarely against anything
having the appearance of monopoly.
The sacrifice of comfort that he under
went to keep the other hands from mo-
nopolizing their lunch stamped him as
reslster of the iron heel of oppression
worthy of imitation
But his greatest attribute was pa
tience. We cannot do him justice in
that respect. When we contemplate
that virtue we almost regret that we
killed him. He would listen to the in
vectives of the chief, the profane re-
monstrances of the reporters, the indig-
nant protests of outraged contributors,
the maledictions of proof-readers, and
the bloodthirsty threats of poets un-
moved, beg their last chew of tobacco,
and comment on the quality thereof.
In his last moments, after he had been
hit with mallet, newspaper form
pitched into his abdomen, and run
twice through the cylinder press. his
only complaint was that we might have
waited until after dinner.
His situation is vacant. Although we
despair of every completely filling his
place, ambitious young men should not
feel discouraged. We can't all be per-

Sad Fun.

A big dog went into clothing store
with his master yesterday, and while
sku1king around under the counters he
came upon the full-length mirror before
which customers stand to see the st of
coat. The dog observed another dog
in the glass and he uttered a warning
growl and showed his teeth. Two or
three clerks saw a chance for fun, and
they slid around and in whispering
words encouraged the dog to sail in and
clean out the intruder. He hesitated a
little, and one of the clerks poked him
up by throwing a box of paper collars.
That was enough. The dog thought
the dog in the glass had made a pass al
him, and he opened his month, made 6
dive and the glass was cracked in
twenty directions. There was q gooG
deal of laughing among three or foul
clerks until they figured up and found
that each ones share would come Il
about two weeks work. Detroit Fire.,

HYdrate of ChIoraI.

At the recent meeting of the Chicago
Academy of Sciences, Prof. Delafon-
tame read paper upon the action and
effect of hydrate of choral. He said it
was discovered to produce sleep i'll
1869, and had been lately used as a
medicine. It was first thought to act
similarly to chloroform. 1t was de-
composed by alkali into formation,
and this process he thought took place
in the blood. He did not think the ac-
ton was the same as that of chloro-
form. Experiments recently made in
France had proven that in cases where
chloral was used, the blood discs were
not coagulated but shriveled. He and
DIR. Simeon had poisoned rabbit with
100 grains of chloral administered hy
podermically in four doses. The effect
was noted within one hour, when it
commenced to lick the wall as though
| wanting to get water. Then it laid
down, became sluggish, slept, and later
died. The post mortem appearances
were those of asphyxia the lungs were
| red, the heart empty, and the blood was
elotted as in asphyxia. A cat was
| treated in the same way, and the blood
drawn from the skin it did not coagu-
| late, and the discs fell to the bottom.
He thought that the mode of action OF
/ chloral was by means of poison of car
| bohc oxide, which is one of the most
poisonous of substances. Carbonic
oxide kills by incapacitating the blood
corpuscles from being in the body car
riers of oxygen.

>Mr. Jonson,s Tin Wedding.

Mr.. Jonson, of the Sixth Ward, had
a tin wedding Thursday night. 1t was
the first tin wedding he ever had, and
twill probably be the last, as circum-
stances over which he had no control
rendered the affair not altogether har-
monious. He did not issue any special
invitations, but informed his friends
that the wedding was to come off, and
he limited that he didn't care how many
of 6hem dropped in on him, SO that
they brought little reminder. Soon
after 7 o'clock his friends began to ar
rive. One man marched in with a tin
pail, q woman came with rattle-box,
and before s o'clock the large table set
out for the display of presents con-
tanned one horn, two pals, three rattle
boxes, four or five pint cups, several
tin whistles and about twenty tin
pepper-boxes. The presents stopped
coming at s, but the crowd didn't.
They fled in until the Jonson mansion
couldn't hold any more, and then they
sat in the windows, on the front steps
and hung to the gate. All went merry
as a marriage bell until Mrs. Jonson
got ready to pass around the provisions,
when a Mrs. Simpson threw one of the
pepper-boxes and hit Mr. John Graner
in the stomach. Mr.. Graner retaliated
by throwing hunk of cake at the first
bald-head he saw, and then everybody
began to shout and throw things. Mr..
Jonson got upon chair and said
s Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me
pleasure to -" when a fried cake
collided with his nose and he sat down.
The tin pals and cups described grace
full curves as they few through the air,
and hunks of pumpkin pie flashed like
meteors for moment and then went
"pat" against some ones head. In
their enthusiasm men got each other
down and clawed and kicked, and
| women, with their eyes full of crumbs,
reached out and gathered in handsful
| of hair. Mr.. Jonson tried to raise the
gentle voice OF remonstrance, and some
one stopped it with flower vase, and
then nearly tore his ear off. The sofa
was overturned, the chairs pied, the
lamps smashed. and then the warm
hearted friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Jonson
filed out and called back thatt they hoped
the couple would live to hold hundred
tin weddings before they died.-De-

How Timber May be Multiplied.

One of our exchanges has the follow
ing to say in reference to this important
subject:
Much has been written about raising
timber, but all the light that can be
shed upon the subject by all the arbori-
culturists in the land will not be amlss.
There is no want in the not distant fu-
ture which has SO forbiddlng look as
| the increasing scarcity of timber. Our
forests are not producing one-twentieth
of the supply we are annually consum-
ing or are destroying. More attention
should be given to it's propagation and
preservation. It was said by some
philosopher that he who makes two
blades of grass grow where but one
grew before is a benefactor to his race.
IF this be true, and none will dispute
it, how much more credit Is due him
who makes landmark by the cultiva-
| tion of trees? Reference to this sub
| iect brings back to our recollection a
suggestion we saw some time ago IN
! regard to simple mode by which tim
Der may be increased on those tracts
of land upon which it is being cut away.
It is as follows: Plant the ground III
| the fall with acorns, black and white
walnuts, butternuts, the seeds of the
| ash, etc. The nuts should be covered
| lightly with the soil and decaying
leaves, so that boys and squirrels can
not find them. They will come up in
the spring, and if cattle are kept out of
the woods-as they should be by all
who would preserve the young trees
they will make a rapid growth under
the immediate superintendence of Dame
Nature herself, who has been pretty
successfully engaged in the business of
tree culture, more or less, ever since
the Silurian age. In the same way
cuttings may be put out in the timber
in the spring. The mulching of the
ground by the falling of the autumn
leaves is the best dressing that can be
put around such young trees, which, in
a year or SO, will surprise you with
their rapid growth. We would discour
age no one who can do SO from
planting out groves on the prairies,
which is one of the best works farmer
can do; but these hints carried out
will enable many to utilize places now
going to waste, and get good return
| for their efforts.

Great Evnecfatinns

A well-known and popular preacher
has put to press a book with sensa-
tional title. He made a point with the
publisher that his own parish should
have the first chance in buying the
book. He had over 1900 hearers, he
said, and each one would want COPY.
An edition of 1900 must be published
before the book was thrown on the
market. The publisher not only agreed
to this, but withheld the book from
the stores, and sent on special agent
to supply the ravenous appetite of the
congregation. The book arrived.
Public notice was given from the pull
pit. But there was no rush. The
rooms rented and the salary and board
of the agent cost something. At the
expiration OF two months business was
closed up. The sale of books did not
reach the number of fifty. The pub.
Usher said that the congregation ex.
pected that each one of them would re-
ceive presentation copy" from the
pastor. advertiser.
