1t is seen that they vary considerably,
but yet that all kinds are very rich in
nutritivc elements, and make a nearly
perfect food. In passing it may be
noticed how the acid curd of the Chcd-
dar is produced at the expenditure of
the sugar of the milk, and how the
skinned milk cheese develop in the
curing a considerable quantity of fat.
This aforementioned point is more closely
connected with the secondary purpose
of cheese as food than might be suspcc-
ted. The rcnnct used in making the
cheese conveys to it some of its own
peculiar property of coagulating and d.
gcsting cascin. Cheese itself may be
used in making cheese, as do will raise
a new batch of do. This digestive
property is able to convert albuminoids
~(cascin) into the elements of fat in the
stomach, and so it docs undoubtedly in
the cheese. And the curing of a skim
milk cheese, skilfully conducted, en-
riches it in fat and brings it up in a very
slightly inferior condition to that of a
fnll milk cheese. This same digestive
property is excessively developed by long
curing, and exists more largely in the
more highly favored cheese; the flavor
being produced by the decomposition
which increases the digestive activity:
Cheese of this kind is not used as food
strictly, but as a condiment to aid digcs-
ton of other food. 1t is used as fruit is,
at the end of meal, nominally as a rel
ISL, but really as a help to digestion.
The production of this active agent of
digestion by the curing of cheese is one
of the skilled arts of the dairy. With
out it cheese does not fulfill its complete
use and purpose, and it may be, and no
doubt is, Il sufficient reason for the COM
parativcly small domestic consumption of
cheese and its general neglect as a staple
article of food; that American cheese
makers do not know how to thoroughly
cure and refine cheese and develop the
exquisite favors and the accompanying
digestive properties for which foreign va
rietics of cheese are so highly estimated.

Queer Feathered Wonders.

elbows that for q mouth 2" said a nat
uralist and sportsman to a Cincinnati
enquirer reporter, pointing to a mounted
bird on the table. The bird was a mot
tied brown specimen, about as large as a
pigeon, with a mouth that stretched lit
orally from ear to ear.
"How about the egg?" asked the re-
porter, noticing that it was in the birds
mouth.
"That's just the point replied the
bird man. "It's q night-hawk. No,
they don't eat eggs; but that shows that
bird exactly as l shot it, and thereby
hangs q tale. Last summer I had an old
darkey that I took out Don hunting with
me to carry the truck, and one night as
we were blowing through a hard lot Of
brush I told him to go ahead and hold
the lantern. So he did, holding one of
these bulrs-eye lanterns just over his
head. He was about three feet ahead of
me, when all at once l heard o kind of a
smash, and down went the old fellow,
lantern, basket and all. For a few min
utes he made it blue there, l can tell you,
but finally he got up, swearing something
had struck him with an egg sure enough,
his face was dripping with broken egg,
and on the ground we found a night
hawk. She had flown at the light and
struck the old man squarely in the face,
knocking him out. The egg business
puzzled me, however. But the next day
when l was out I came suddenly on to a
smooth spot, and saw a night-hawk throw
herself on her side and begin to go lame.
l knew there wa something up, and the
next minute I made out the nest and egg;
but at. the first move | made she dartcd
at it, picked up the egg in her mouth,
and flew away. I was determined to see
how it was done, so brought down my
gun and shot her ON the wing, and l
found her dead with the egg in her
mouth.
"Wonderful I should say SC. You
see the night-hawks are supposed to have
little or no intelligence, but this fact
shows them to have more than the aver
age maternal affection. But that isn't
all. About two weeks later l was out
again in about the same spot and saw my
dog pointing. Wishing to make a sketch,
if possible, of various birds under point,
l stole mp OIL the dog, and for a moment
was disposed to give her a clubbing, as
there wasn't a thing i'll sight only Il bed
of brown leaves and moss. But as the
dog kept pointing I looked closely, and
soon made out another night-hawk, and
while I was looking the bird picked up
what looked like 4 mole, and flew heavily
away. l brought it down, and in its
mouth was Il young one about as large as
a mouse. So you sec, they carry off both
eggs and young"

Canes.

The manufacture of canes is by no
means the simple process of cutting the
sticks in the woods, pceling Oft the bark,
whiting down the knots, sandpapcring
the rough surface and adding a touch of
varnish, n curiously carved handle or
head and tipping the end with a ferrule.
In the sand flats Of New Jersey whole
families support themselves by gathering
nanncbcrry sticks, which they gather in
the swamps, straightcn with an old vice,
steam over an old kettle and perhaps
scrapc down or white into size. These
are packed in large bundles to New York
city and sold to the cane factories. Many
imported sticks, however, have to go
through a process of Strengthening by
mechanical means, which are a mystery
to the u%ninitiated. They are buried in
hot sand until they become pliable. In
front of the heap of hot sand in which
the sticks are plunged is a stout
board from five to six feet long,
fixed at an angle inclined to the work
men and having two or more notchcs cut
in the edge. When the stick has become
perfectly pliablc the workman places it
on one of the notches. and, bending it in
the opposite direction to which it is nat
urally bent, straightens it. Thus sticks
apparently crooked, bent, warped and
worthless are by this simple process
Strengthened ; but the most curious part
of the work is observed in the formation
of the crook or curl for the handles which
arc not naturally supplied with a hook or
knob. The workman places II end Of
the cane firmly in a vice and pours a con-
t%inuous stream of fire from a gas-pipc on
the part which is to be bent. When SUI
ficient heat has been applied the cane is
pulled slowly and gradually round until
the hook is completely formed and then
secured with a string. An additional
application of heat serves to bake and
permanently fix the curl. The under part
of the handle is frequently charrcd by
the action Of the gas, and this is rubbed
down with s%andpapcr until the requisite
degree of smoothncss is attained. Inner

A Remarkable Cave.

An article in the Crntu1y is a descrip-
ton of Dcvonshirc, entitled "Thc Fair
est County in England" by Francis
George Heath. OF Kcnt's cavern, in
the vicinity of Torquay, IA remarkable
cave, consisting of Il great excavation in
the Dcvonian limestone, the writer says:
Ii is entered by Il narrow passage some
seven feet wide and only live feet in
height. The central cavern, which is
almost GOO feet long. has Il number of
smaller cavcrns or corridors leading out
from it. It's farther extremity is ter
minated by Il deep pool OF water. In the
bed Of this cavern modern research has
been rewarded by some deeply interest
ing discoveries. Over the original earth
bottom of the cavc is a bed or layer Of
considerable thickness, in which are con
tanned strange mixtures Of human bones
with the bones of the elephant and the
rhinoccros, the hycna, the bear and the
wolf, intcrminglcd with stone and flint
tools. arrow and spear heads, and frag-
mcnts of coarse pottery. The animal re-
mains testify to the presence in the an
cicnt forests of Britain of beasts Of prey
which long since have become extinct.
Speculation may be exhausted in the en-
dcav0r to account for the curious inter
mingling in this cavern of the remains of
human beings and of wild animals. The
place may have been used for shcltcrsuc-
ccssivcly by man and by the lords of the
forest; or, as the presence of the rude
weapons of man might seem to indicate,
the beasts of the field may have been
brought into this natural recess as tro-
phics of the chase, and their flesh and
skins used for purposes of food and
clothing. Nothing less than the most
pcrscvering and enthusiastic search could
have discovered the interesting remains
which, for a vast period Of time, had
been buried in this retreat; for the fos-
sis were covered by a thick floor Of stall
agmite which had been formed, there
can be no doubt, by great blocks Of
limestone which had fallen from time to
time, extending over a very heightened
period, from the roof of the cavern, and
had become ccmentcd into one mass by
the perpetual pcrcolations of limc-watcr
from above.

OuarrelIng,

If any thing in the world will make a
man feel badly, except pinching his fin
gers in the crack of a door, it is a quarrel.
No man fails to think lsss Of himself after
than he did he before; it dcgrades HMM
the eyes of others. and, what is worse,
tends to blunt his scnsibilitics, and in
crease his irritability. The truth is. the
moro pcaceably and quietly we get on, the
better for our neighbors. In nine cases
out of ten, the better course is, if the man
cheats you, to quit dealing with him; if
he ISLANDERS you, take care to live down
his ISLANDERS. Let such persons alone, for
there is nothing better than this way of
dealing with those who injure us.
