How to Make Cheese Dfgestible.

Cheese is among our most nutritious
foods. 1t contains many elements for
sustaining life, and people who can eat
it find it nourishing and healthful; but
everybody can not eat cheese. Men
who live in the open air and work hard
can digest it; but the great bulk of
people, who live and work indoors. can
only partake of it as relish at the end
OF dinner, or as an accompaniment to
their dessert of pie; yet twenty pounds
OF cheese contains as much nutritious
material as q sheep of sixty pounds in
weight, and has the same value as prac-
teal nutriment if it could be easily di-
gested. A distinguished English chem
ist suggests a remedy for the indigest-
Utility of cheese. It is to add the BIZ
carbonate of potass to cheese. He pre-
pares the dish as follows: Cut the
cheese into shreds, crate or chop it up
fine, like suet. To every pound of cheese
add quarter of an ounce of bi-carbonate
of potass. Put the resulting mixture
into a saucepan with three times its
bulk Of water, or four times its bulk of
cold milk, and mix well. Put the
saucepan on the fire and let the mixture
hl40f, surfing oil Inc time uniu the
cheese is melted, which does not take
long. Turn out into a dish, and
the result is nutritious mixture,
which thickens like custard in cool
ing. This cheese-custard may be eaten
with impunity by persons whom
small piece of ordinary cheese would
sicken. Cheese treated in this way is
recommended for sea voyages, to be
used instead of salt junk. It prevents
scurvy, and is great saving in bulk
compared with other food. 1t is the
absence of the potass from the qedinary
cheese as well as salt junk which |
makes them uawholesome. Deasorest's

Tact and No Tact.

A subject destitute of tact had better
not converse with a monarch. A King
or Queen is sensitive to contradiction,
and seldom smiles while receiving .stit
for tat. y The following anecdotes il
lustrate this fact:
Henry Carey, a cousin to Queen
Elizabeth, after having enjoyed her
Maiesty's favor for several years, lost it
in this manner. AS he was walking in
the garden of the palace under the
Queens window, she asked him, in a
iocular manner
what does a man think when he is
thinking of nothing?''
The answer was very brief one.
s'Upon woman's promise he replied.
'tWell done, cousin" said Elizabeth.
s'Excellent."
Some time after he solicited the honor
! of peerage, and reminded the Queen
that she had promised it to him.
''True," said her Majesty. ''but that
was a woman's PROMISE y
One of the most distinguished Incl
dents of Zimmerman s life was the sum-
mons which he received to attend Fred
terick the Great in his last illness in
1886.
One day the King said to his eminent
physician: ''You have, I presume, sir.
helped many a man into another
worId2''
Any ordinary person would doubtless
have been scared by SO momentous an
inquiry, and it was, in fact, somewhat
bitter pill for the doctor; but the dose
he gave the King in return was judi
cious mixture of truth and fiattery.
Not SO many as your Majesty, nor
with SO much honor to myself"
The testy old monarch must have
found in the remark food for reflection.

Important Trademark Injunction sn
England

A London telegram of May 9Th says: SIN
the suit of the Charles A. Vogeler Com.
pany, of Baltimore, against Parrott & Co.,
| of this city, the Courtof Appeals has grant.
! ed the plaintiffs a perpetual injunction,
with costs. The action, which grew out
| of an alleged infringement of plaintiffs
| well-known trademark, St. Jacobs Oil,
was originally heard in the High Court of
| Justice where Vice Chancellor Bacon, with.
| out going into the merits of the case, con-
| sidered it was one that should go before
the Comptroller of trademarks. From
this opinion the Voge1er Company APP
pealed, claiming that they were being in
jured by the goods of the defendants, en-.
titled st. David's Oil, being mistaken for
theirs, and that while they had taken steps
to bring case before the Comptroller of
trademarks, months would e1apse be-.
fore decision could be obtained,
and as their business would be seriously
injured by such delay, restraining
order should be granted at once. The re-
suit of the appeal was that perpetual in
junction was made, with costs. The pro.
ceedings before the Comptroller have
been abandoned by the defendants, and
the Baltimore house has thus achieved g
double victory. By the order of the
Court Of Appeal, PARROT g. Co. and their
agents are perpetualIy restrained from
using the term St David's Oil, or any
similar term, as well as the words The
Great German Remedy and any words
or marks similar to those used BY the
Vogeler Company in connection with their
st. Jacobs Oil. The progress of this suit
has been watched with interest by the mer-
camille and manufacturing community of
Great Britain, where thousands of trade
marks of almost incalcufable value are
owned. It was shown by the evidence
that plaintiffs had sold during the
past few years over seven million
bottles of st. Jacobs Oil, and ex.
pended as high as five hundred
thousand dollars in single year for ad
vertising throughout the world. Their
success in this suit is regarded with great
satisfaction in business circles. Eminent
English and American legal talent figured
in the case. The counsel for the Vogeler
Co., of which latter Mr.. a. D. Umbstaetter
was personally present, were Queens
Counsel Theodore Aston, John Cutler and
Theodore MacKenna, of London; Rowland
Coz, OF New York, and General Willian1
