origin i'll the province of Iimburg, i'm Hol-
land, where, with its popularity of shape,
smell, process of making and curing, il was
formerly exclusively made. SThirty years
ago its production in the United States was
almost unknown, it being at that time
thought, on account of the difference in cli-
mate and pasturagc, impossible to produce
ii here. The same notion in regard to
Swiss cheese prevailed, and consequently
numerous quantities of both were imported
from Europe to supply the large demand in
this country, But it has bce4 found that
both can and have been produced in this
country in such perfection that the very
best judges are unable to detect any differ
cnce from the imported articles In Green
County, Wis, hundreds Of tons are made
annually, more than twenty factories being
engaged i'll its manufacturer In Dodge
and Jefferson counties large quantities are
also made. The cheese is made, in factories
capable of working the milk tfrom 100 to
400 COWS, rarely exceeding the latter num-
Der, as more would require larger area of
country than would be desirable on account
of distance to the factory, as the milk is
hauled and the cheese made twice day
usually. The makers generally buy the
milk from the farmers at price agreed
upon for the season of six months, begin
ming about May /. The process of manu-
tacturc in its first stages does not differ from
the usual way, except that lower TEMPER
aturc is kept while the curd is forming, the
animal heat alone in summer being often
high enough. Great care is taken to use
pure milk: free from taint Or filth, and
cleanliness being requisite in every stage of
the making. Upon the curd being formed
o,,I fill ;,t~
pieces tho size Of dice, low temperature
and careful handling being necessary to
avoid breaking the butter globucs, upon
which the richness of the cheese depends. 1t
is slightly scaldcd and stirred, most of the
whey drawn Off, and, without heing salted,
the curd is dipped out into perforated
wooden boxes or molds, about five inches
square, and left to drain without any pres
sure being applied. In few hours the
packages arc carried into the curing cellar
and placed cdgeway on shelves, like bricks
set to dry. livery day thereafter they are
rolled in salt and replaced when they have
absorbed enough salt. They are turned
almost every day, and the Shiny moisture
which cXudcs is rubbed with the hand
evenly over the surface, which serves the
double purpose of keeping the cheese moist
and TO close all cracks, into which flies
might lay their eggs. This outside
moisture dccomposcs while the cheese ripens,
and being mostly composed of albumen,
like fresh meats, eggs, &C., the same results
follow the decomposition, and in this case
the Limburgcr odor is developed, which
never forsakcs it, and sticks closer than a
brother to all who touch or cat it. After
eight or ten weeks it is packed in paper
and tinfoil, and is ready for market-in
consistcnce, contents and nourishmcnt the
richest cheese that, can be made, but to the
unintlatcd, a malicious and predetermined
outrage upon the organs OF smell. r.

thcr; and the worst of It all was, it had
got deadly advantage of his favoritc
hound, and was about to make an end of
him. The animal was fcarfully large. and
enragcd beside, and Frank, who by the
way had the gun, was far behind; but the
Old hunter could not stand by and sec his
faithful dog killed without an attempt to
save him, and taking very little time for
consideration, he opened his pocket knife,
the only weapon at hand, aad "wcnt for
him."
Thrusting his left hand into the panthcrs
mouth lie caught him by the tongue, and
with the knife in his right cut cash be-
tween his ribs, and forced his hand and
knife in ut the opening, thinking bv this
means to reach his heart, and so dispatch
him directly. But no sooner had the pan
thcr felt the knife than he liberated the dog,
and forcing the hunter to release his tongue,
caught him by the left arm, and with his
fore paws around his shoulders, sunk his
sharp claws deep into the flesh Then it
was that the hunter first realized the rash
ness of his undertaking and his imminent
peril, for although he worked manfulIy
with his knife in the nanthcr's vituls, his
antagonist was laccrating his arms and legs
terribly. But his faithful dogs, who knew
full well where the greatest danger lay,
had dcath-grip on its hind legs; and Mr.
Payne said, when telling me the story: "I
knew my dogs well enough to trust them
for that part of the work"
Just at this time Frank, who had no idea
OF what was going on, came running up
with the gun, and placing it as well rs he
could i'll the dark, with the muzzlc pressed
close against the PANTHER hn fired Vbn
brute instantly looscd its hold on Mr..
Payne, and the dogs, knowing il had re-
ceivcd deadly shot, let it go, and lay
down Oh the ground exhausted. Frank
then helped his uncle to get home, and
went for doctor to dress his wounds,
which were bleeding considerably, and
smarting almost beyond endurance.
''Ihat thing couldn't have been a pan
ther," said MIR. Payne, when his account
of the fight was ended, "for it was too
large and heavily built. 1t was juso waist
high to me, and looked like it might be half
panther and half lion. Frank and some
other boys found it dead the next morning,
not fifty yards from the place where we
gave one another such scratchn', and
when they cut him open to see what I had
done for him with my pocket knife, thcy"
found his lung and liver pretty well gashed
But the strangest part of it all is that Frank
had shot him in the mouth-a mighty
lucky thing for both Of us, for that small
shot wouldn't have done nothin' but make
him mad hittin' him anywhere clsc But
got out O. that sCyapc alive, and If Old
Master I'll forgive Inc for gittin' into it,
mint likely to offend again in the same way,

"NIilItary Honor"

a sergeant of dragons has been before
a court martial at Berlin on the charge of
assaulting and mutilating a farmer of Cru
nan. The soldier was in Grunan on busi-
ness, and was quartcred at the house Of his
victim. He made himself obnoxious to
his host in various ways, and finally, COM
ing to dinner drunk, he took out his saber
and laid 1t on the table beside his plate
The farmer asked him what he did that
for. ~"i ',... '."
Nothing less than a saber or a saw will
cut the meat you give me" was the reply.
The farmer went out and brought in
from the barnyard pitchfork, which he
laid down on the other side of the war

A Panther Story.

One evening as I was sitting In tho house
Of a neighbor and old settler, Mr.. Payne,
listening with; great interest to his stories of
early times In Texas, the talk turned on the
hunting Of wild ANIMALS. Now, Mr.. p. is
none of your big story -tcllers whom no ono

scs were needed to prove the truth Of this,
they could he readily produced, for one of
his nephcws was with him at the time, and
the hero of our story was confined to bed
for two weeks with wounds received in the
fight. The story, rs we'll as can rcmcm.
Der, runs as follows: sYa
: Ono dark winter night Mr.. Payne and
his nephew, Frank, took the hounds and
one small shotgun and sailed forth in
search of any small game, such as coons or
Wildcats, and not being prepared for any,
thing larger, expected no conflict such as
awaited them.
!; Near Mr.. Payne's house on the wcst and
not very distant on the north, lie ranges Of
very rough hills, which we call mountains,
and toward these the hunters bent their
course. They walked leisurely on until,
on reaching the brow Of q mountain, they
heard the dogs, who had gone far in ad-
vance, raising big row with something,
and Immediately struck lively run to SEQ
what was on hand. Mr.. Payne, however,
hearing one Of his dogs sending forth loud
cries as of great suffering, outran his COM

on the field of action. Tho. darkness was

A Preventive Of Horse Stealing.

The establishment OF system of horse
passports is under consideration by the
Russian government. The measure Is sug-
gested, not in view Of political danger from
the equine race, but In order to prevent a
misfortune that often happens to the horses
themselves namely; horse stealing. Ac-
cording to this curious project, tho birth,
peculiar signs and death of every horse
must be recorded and the proprietor of a
horse or horses, is, to be furnished with a
horse passport that will entitle him to the
possession. of said horse or horses Now,
as horse thief cannot possibly steal both
the horse and its passport, he cannot sustain
his right to the possession Of stolen horse.
This Is the essence of the wit and wisdom
OF the Russian officials In this matter.
