The Prophecy Of the Greyhound.

Richard H., of England, had grey
hound, called Math, beautiful beyond
measure, who would not notice or follow
any one but the king. Whenever the
king rode abroad the greyhound was
loosed by the person who had him in
charge, and ran instantly to caress him,
by placing his two fore feet on his shout
ders. It fell out that as the king and the
Duke OF Lancaster were conversing in the
court of the castle, their horses being
ready for them to mount, the greyhound
was united, but instead of running as
usual to the king, he left him and leaped
to the Duke of Lancaster's shoulders,
paying him every court, and caressing
him as he formealy used to caress the
king. The duke, not acquainted with this
greyhound, asked the king the meaning
of this fondness, saying:
"What does this mean?"
''Cousin," replied the king, cit means
a great deal for you, and very little for
me-"
"How?" said the duke; spray explain
it."
ct understand by it." answered the
king, ''that this greyhound fondles and
pays his court to you this day, as Kingof
England, which you will surely be, and I
shall be deposed; for the natural instinct
of the dog shows it to him. Keep him,
therefore, by your side, for he will now
leave me and follow you.
The Duke Of Lancaster. treasured up
what the king said, and paid attention to
the greyhound, who would never more
follow Richard Of Bordeaux, but kept by
the side of the Duke of Lancaster, as was
witnessed by thirty thousand men,

How Famous Cheese is Made.

Perhaps the most Justly celebrated
cheese made on the Continent of Europe
is the Swiss Gruyere. This is made
mostly in huts, called chalets, high up
among the Alps, at the time during which
the pastures on the mountain-sides IRE
accessible, and the huts habitable, say
from the melting Of the snow in May to
the end of September, when men and ami
mails descend for the winter into the shell
tered valleys thousands of feet below.
The chalets are located In the midst of
the mountain pastures ona spot safe from
avalanches, and generally near to small
pond or spring of water, when such are
available. Provisions from the valleys are
carried up weekly to the chalets, and it is
under such difficult circumstances that
a cheese is made which for Hundreds
of years has been. considered almost, if
not quite the best on the Continent.
The milk, partly skinned, or not, &C
cording to the quality of the cheese de-
sired to be made, is put into great kettle
and swung on crane over a gentle fire,
where it is allowed to attain temperature
of seventy-seven degrees Fahrenheit,
when the kettle is swung off the fire and
rennet is added to the milk. When coag-
ulation has advanced far enough the curd
is cut into as fine pieces as is practible
with the large wooden knife which is
used for the purpose. The kettle is then
swung over the fire again, and the curd
is taken up In small quantities in a por-
ringer and poured back through the fin
gers, where it is still more finely divided.
Great Importance is attached to this
division Of the curd, in order that each
particle may be fully exposed to the &C
ton Of the heat in the cooking process,
which ensues up to point when tenn
perature of 900 has been attained. The
kettle is then Immediately swung off the
fire, and the waste of curd and whey STIR
red for some fifteen minutes longer, and if
the cooking has been properly performed
the particles of curd have the appearance
of bursted grains of rice swimming in the
whey, The curd is then collected in a
cloth, and great care is taken to expel all
whey. The sailing of the cheese is also
considered delicate ard important pro-
cess. The salt is rubbed from time to
time on the outside of the cheese, care
being taken to discern when enough shall
have beenabsorbed. The Gruyere cheeses
are commonly three feet in diameter, and
weigh over one hundred pounds. A sue
cessful cheese of this kind is like soft
yellow paste, which melts in the mouth,
and it is filled with cavities about the
size of pea, one or two, say, in each
square inch Of cheese. -Dairymam's

How to Manage a Kitchen.

ga clean kitchen makesa clean house, !"
is saying which has great zeal of
truth in it. AS all the food of the faIni-
ly has to be prepared In the kitchen, and
as most working people have to take
their meals and sit in the kitchen-in-
deed, as the one day-room has to be
parlor, kitchen, and all. to many honest
families it ought to be clean and neat,
or it will not be comfortable and healthy.
First of all, the window and the fire
place must be clean and bright. No
room is cheerful with dirty fireplace.
Every morning the room must be care
fully swept, and any hearth-rug, mat, or
piece of carpet must be taken out of
doors and beat daily. The hearth must
be cleaned every day, and the stove
brushed, the fre-irons rubbed with a
leather once q week at least, the CRATE
must be black-headed, and the fender
and irons thoroughly polished, and all
well secured down twice week. Cup
boards want great care to keep them free
from dust, cool and neat Surprising
there are two cupboards, one on each
side of the fireplace, it is well to keep
one for stores, as groceries, etc., and one
for crockery. Everything should be
clean that is put in the cupboards, and
there should be place for every differ
ent thing, sothat if you wanted anything,
even in the dark, you could lay your
hand upon it. Be sure, whether you
keep the lids bright or not, to keep the
inside of every pan or pot used in cook
ing SO clean that it is perfectly dry and
sweet. If you neglect his you may be the
cause Of poisoning yourself and your
household. Many families have been
poisoned by food being. cooked in dirty
pans Besides, even if food is not made
poisonous, it is spoiled bynot being clean
~ cooked. Be very particular about
this. It is good plan to have jar of
soda in some handy place, where you
can, whenever you wash up, take bit
and put in the water. It is very cleans
ing, and both crockery and tins washed
in hot water, with bit of soda in, will
be sure to shine and be sweet All tins
should be polished once week. Kitch-
en- towels require good management. It
is a very nasty habit to be careless about
towels. Tea things and glass should be
wiped with thin, coarse towel kept for
that purpose. If you have a plate-rack
over the sink, plates should be washed In
hot water, rinsed in cold, and put to
drain in the rack; but if you have no
rack you must wipe the plates; keep a
good dish-cloth to wash them with, and
a good coarse towel to dry them with,
and use your dish-cloth and your dish
towel for nothing else.

It sounds queerly to tell of a poodle
driving off bear, but lady writer re-
lates such story in the Rural NeaO
Yorker:
Twenty years ago when DIR. G.. and his
pretty young wife decided to take Horace
Greeley's advice and $50 West" the
question arose, ''What shall we do with
Fido?"
Fido was the family pet-a snow
white dog six inches high-but with a
spirit as brave as that of any mastiff in
the land
''Take him, of course" said Lottie.
elbow can we live without Fido?"
''But, my dear, that is absurd. Take
dog thousand miles?"
However, the deed was done.
One night, two years afterwards, the
family were seated In the cottage talking
hopefully of the bright prospects before
them, and longingly of the friends they
had left behind, when Fido camerunning
to the door barking violently. Then he
ran back to the temporary stables, where
the fine horses were kept which the doc
tor had brought all the way from the
old Empire State.
''Fido has started another Badger, [
guess" said the doctor, resuming the
conversation. But this did not answer.
Back and forth from the stables to the
cottage the little sprite ran, almost fran
tic with excitement, and barking furi-
ously.
At length the family went out with
lanterns, to try to quiet the faithful dog
more than from fear of any danger.
They found one side Of the stable torn
off and horse loose.
Something was moving away across the
field, and little Fido was in hot pursuit.
SIT is BEAR" said the doctor, exam
lining the track.
The animal was killed the next day, a
huge fellow, who was disappointed in
his hoped-for meal off the horses by the
spiteful little vixen.
F'ido was hero after this, and always
wagged his tail proudly and looked up
knowingly when any one told the story
of Fido and the bear.
