Russian Cheese,

An article of diet of almost universal
consumption among the poorer classes
in Russia Is the variety of homemade
cheese known as ''Tworog," of which
more than 1000, 900 pounds are sold an
nually in st. Petersburg alone. Its
mode of preparation is very simple.
Sour skim milk is placed over night in
a warm oven, and poured the next day
upon a sieve, where it is allowed to re-
main till all the whey has run off. The
curd is then packed tightly in a wooden
vessel, and covered with a lid made to
fit exactly within it. On this heavy
weights are placed, so as to keep up a
constant pressure on the mass OF curd {;
and the space between the lid and the
top Of the vessel is filled with cold
water, which Is frequently renewed.
Tworog cheese is, in fact, nothing more
than hard pressed curd. In the north
western and southern governments of
the empire it is often made from sleeps
milk, and in B%essarabia, a superior
quality is made from the whole milk is
prepared, which possesses far better
keeping properties than the ordinary
sort, and which is exported in consider
able quantities to Wallachia, Moldavia,
and even to Austria.

IL takes the SUMS light about eight
minutes and Il quarter to reach the
earth, and we do not see the sun until
about eight minutes after 1t has risen,
while we see 1t apparently above the
horizon for the same time after sunset.
If we imagine ourselves transported to
Neptune, the most distant planet of the
system, we shall find that it takes light
four hours and ten minutes to traverse
the space Intervening between the sun
and this planet. Therefore this long
period must elapse between the real and
apparent sunrise on this far-away men,
Der of the family. AS the sun On the
boundary of his domain only gives out
a thOusandth part OF the heat and light
we enjoy, 1t is not probably that the
rush of emigrants to Neptune will be
very great, at least of beings CONSTITUTE
ed like those on this planet. But it
gives an idea Of the amazing extent of
the solar system, when it is known that
it takes light, moving with velocity Of
over s $4,000 miles per second, more
than four hours to reach its extreme
verge. This, too, is but half the breadth
of planetary space as known at present;
the light would require over eight
hours to reach the orbit of Neptune.

"Auld Lang Syne."

There are two gentlemen Of Clncin'
natl, well know to business and social
circles for their wealth and position,
who in earlier life occupied more hum.
BILE positions, the one being a baker,
and the other the son-in-law of a corn
doctor. OF course there Is no harm In
this, for We know, on the best anthori-
ty, that their antecedents were honest
and respectable, and that's more than
many richer people car claim. Now
one of the gentleman has a way OF
INVITING the other about his start
and the other day remarked to him
"Well, well, jim, things are not as
they used to be. l haven't eaten a bite
of good bread since I've been boarding
at this hotel. o three years. Heigh-
no, they don't make bread like they did
when you were a baker, do they?"
Jim WINGED; he couldn't help it,
when the matter was thus thrust upon
him, but his friend ouly enjoyed his
embarrassment. In a few minutes the
opportunity wa atfordedhim of coming
back on the resurrectionist, and he
said, "Max, I've got a shoe that hurts
my foot like the mischief"
"Have you ?" said Max; "why don't
you do something for itr"
"It's a corn, l believe"
"Ah!" sympathized Max.

as well as he could. All me, old fel.
low, those halcyon days will never
come back again." and as Jim looked
upon his friend in a contented, placid
sort of way, that gentleman blurted out
''And l hope to the good LORD they
won't"
Then they looked at each other
minute, and both went out, and came
back chewing a grain of coffee,

HUMOROUS.


BDAH A DoDo.-The other day, when
a man dropped In on Bijah and wiped
the tears from his eyes, and said that
his family was in rags, hungry and
sick, the old gentleman's heart swelled
up and he replied:
$50 down TO my farm and help our
self-take half the crops take all OF
them"
"lt's too good-too goOd!" sighed the
weeping man.
"No, 1t amt" continued Bljah. 81
put In them crops on purpose for the
poor Of Detroit, and you hire a wagon
and go down there and draw on
enough to last your family all WINTER
The citizen broke down aud sobbed
like a child, and BlJah blew his nose
with great violence and said to himself
"What's the use Of being bald-headed
and big-footed If you can't put q pry
under a fellow human being in dis
tressP"
The man was gone about an hour,
and he returned without any tears in
his eyes. On the contrary, his face
was red, his eyes flashed, and he stood
before Biiah and yelled:
I'm a good mind to rub your ears
agin yer shoulders !"
"Great cider. mills but what has &C.
Cured now9" gasped the old man.
You sent me down TO the farm"
81 did, and told you to draw'off all
the crops"
"And I've drawed 'em and here they
are"
The man unrolled a paper and exhib-
tied a shriveled old beet, two cabbage
leaves, three or four faded string beans,
and a potato about the size of a buck
shot.
"You told me to hire a wagon and
draw 'em of ?" he went on, throwing
the old beet on the floor. 81 hired one,
and this Is the load you have cost me
fifty cents, and Pm a good mind to lick
you! you are an old chlmpanzee under
the fence-an old garter-snake in a
~frog-pond-a hyena Ia al"
At this point he got so mad that he
hit Bijah on the chin with the beet and
rushed out doors. The old man stood
like n in a trance, and it was fully
three minutes before he could gasp out:
eff gratitude exists in the human
heart then Pm willing to be called a
dodo! !"

Nep Channel of the Ddnube.-The new
channel by which the waters of the
Danube are brought within a short dis
lance of Vienna is nearly nine and one
half miles in length. 1t consists of two
parts, viz: The minor channel, which,
In ordinary times, will receive all the
waters of the river, is 245 metres wide
and 8 to 4.50 metres deep; the other,
which is intended to provide against
floods, is 515 metres wide and 2 metres
deep, with a dam 6.32 metIes high. Six
teen millions of cubic metres had to be
executed for raising the level Of the
soil and forming the dam, and half of
this was by dredging; the stone-work OF
the new banks represented a cube OF
$500 0 metres, and the pitching nearly

DPHTHERIA AND BAD MILK Dlph-
iberia prevailed as an epidemic In GER
tain %nOTtherly districts Of London In
May and June, 1877. There were 264
cases and thirty EIGHT deaths. The
origin of the outbreak has been care
fully considered by Mr.. w. Ii. Power,
aud he has established the fact that
the cause was not sewer gas, but milk
supplied by one dealer. Furthermore,
there was no possibility that the milk
was humanity infected either by water
used 10 dilute 1t, or TO wash the vessels
into which 1t was poured, by any
known contamination of the air, or by
mixers with diseased throats. Mr..
Power is therefore convinced that the
milk as 1t came from the COWS was so
infected that 1t contained diphtheritlc
~cOntagiOn. In other words, a diseased
condition of the COW brought on diph-
liberia, just as COW pox brings on vac
cinia. The details OF the process of
inquiry instituted shows very clearly
the justice of his conclusions, though it
does not appear how the cows were
affected, or that they appeared to suf-
fer at all. The general result is very
Important, however, since 1t proves
that diphtheria may be spread by I'M

phoid fever have been.

POINTS IN CAKE MAKING.-The butter
should be perfectly sweet and free
from buttermilk; the butter and sugar
should be thoroughly beaten together.
Powdered sugar is preferable to granu-
lated, as the latter is slow In dissolving;
the whites of the eggs should be beaten
to a stiff froth, and added to the sugar,
butter and yolks; fruit should be
rolled In flour and added at the last
moment. Soda should be pulverized
and sifted into the cake with the flour.
The hand or a wooden spoon is best for
mixing cake. An important point is
the heat of the oven. The cake should
begin to bake at once, but should not
brown Immediately. The oven door
should be seldom opened while the
cake is in. The gem-pans are excellent
TOR baking cake, first heating them as
for Graham gems.
