Cheese
The following account explains fully
enough what is the matter with the
cheese: For some time patent cheese
has been finding its way into our ma.
kets. This fact is generally unknown
to consumers, who have sometimes
commended this cheese under the im-
preston that it was the old fashioned
product CT the cheese press. Both pat
ent butter and patent cheese have been
made and sold in vast quantities in
England, Holland, France and Ger
many for many years, and vast quaint
ties Of both are now made here and sent
abroad. The portions of the fat of the
animal from which the globules are ex-
tracted are the caul, the kidney fat, and
other softer portions of the fatty matter.
These softer pieces of fat are obtained
from the slaughter houses Immediately
after the killing of the animals. As
as received they are washed and
put into close warmed cans. Then they
are taken to the mandatory and
placed in watts warmed by tep!d water.
Next they are put into d cutter and
minced until the mass assumes the APP
pearance of fine paste. Kept up to the
animal heat as nearly a. possible, tits
paste is then laid on clean white cloths
and placed on a press. In this process
the water and softer particles flow first
into a receiver; then follow the yellow
globUles, which rise to the surface and
are SKINNED off. Tothis skinned milk
is added, and we have patent cheese
Good, isn't it?-Erchonge.
Arranging Cut Flowers
An article in st. Nicholas OH arrang-
ament of flowers contains the following
directions, which may be read by all
who love flowers, and haven't the knack
of arranging them to the best advantage
in bouquets and vases for the table:
The color of the vase to be used is of
Importance. Gaudy reds and blues
should never be chosen, for they con-
tlict with the delicate hues of the flowers.
Bronze or black vases, dark green, pure
or silver, always produce a good
effect, and so does a Stlaw basket, while
clear glass, which shows the graceful
Of the stems, is perhaps pretti-
est of all.
The shape of the vaSe is also to be
of. For the middle of adinner
a round bowl is always appropri-
ate, or a tall vase with a saucer-Shaped
base. Or, if the center of the table is
otherwise occupied, a large cOnch shell,
Dr. shell shaped dish, may be swung
the chandelier above, and with
of vines and feathering green
made TO look very pretty. Delicate
lowers, such as lilies of the valley and
sweet peas, should be placed by them
selves III slender, tapering glasses; VIC
should nestle their fragrant purple
some tiny cup. and pansies be set in
groups, with no gayer flowers to contra
iict their soft velvet hueS; and-this is
/ hint for summer-few things are pref
Ter than balsam blossoms, or double
yariegated holly-hocks, massed on a fiat
,late, with a fringe of green to hide the
edge. No leaves should be interspersed
With these; the plate should look like
solid mosaic of splendid color.
Stiffness and ~crowding are two things
be specially avoided in arranging
What a be uglier than the
treat ~tasteless punches into which the
florist ties his wares, or what
more eXtravagant? A skillful person
will unite one of these, and, adding
leaves, make the same flowers into
half dozen bouquets, each nor at
than the original. Flowers
be grouped as they grow, with a
loud of light foliage in and about them
