LOVE AMONG THE PEACHES.
A True Incident, in Which May BE
Found a Pleasing Repetition of the
Old, Old Story.
Washington News.

w dSuluSlOH news.
Several years ago a gentleman liv-
ing in this city bought farm near
Wyoming, on the Delaware railroad,
Just below Dover. He removed
thither with his wife and only child,
a daughter now about twenty years
of age, bright and intelligent girl.
To vary the monotony of her simple
rustic life she taught music in the sur
rounding neighborhood. With the
enjoyments of her pleasant country
home she seemed contented until about
six month ago, when the whole course
of her life underwent a change. A
young man dressed like a laborer, but
showing evidences of more refined
nature than his external appearance
ind icated, applied for and obtained
work from the heroine's father. He
was well-built, pleasant-looking fell
low, although not handsome, and
wore bright auburn beard. A mu-
tual Affections sprang up between the
daughter of the household and the new
hand. A sharp watch was kept on the
maiden, but nothing occurred to
arouse suspicion until about two
brought to crisis. In one of her
usual rounds among her pupils the
girls mother was unavoidably absent.
Her lover took advantage of the OPP
portunity, proposed, was accepted,
and the twain went to the nearest
minister. where they were made one.
They returned later in the evening,
confessed, and the newiy-made wife
pleaded forgiveness. Her father be-
came very wroth at Ter undutiful act
and vowed that the consequences
would be on her own head. This was
the night of the great storm of June
%. The ireful father, after venting
his wrath on his daug kter and her
husband, elected them, with a few
articles belonging to them, from his
home and told them never to return.
The young wife borne down with sor-
row, turned In despair to her husband,
and the latter proved himself to be
the true hero, as the sequel will
show.
Possessed of little money, they
went to her uncle's house, where they
stopped for the night. The next
morning, without any further parley
with the indignant father-in-law, they
went north on the first train and did
not stop until they reached Albany,
in New York state. To the astonish-
ment of his wife he here disclosed his
true posit.On-the son of very wealthy
parents and himself possessed of a
competence in his own name. He
had fed from home for some folly,
but his parents received their new
daughter-in-law with open arms. A
letter of explanation was sent to her
parents at Wyoming, who were over
joyed at their daughters good for
tune.

He TOOK Water.
Peck'S Sun.

A bill collectors life is not happy
oDe. On Saturday last gentleman
while passing along Fourth street was
startled by man all waIer-soaked
and muddy leaping over a fence by
his side and at the same time hearing
the sounds of deviltry issuing from the
rear OF the premises. The water-soak-
ed individual was evidently in a great
hurry to meet a very pressing engage
ment, and yet at the same time there
was sort of anxious look
on his face; look that would
lead one to suppose he had been
fooling with a steam fire-engne
and didn't know it was loaded. Yes,
he was anxious to get anywhere but
there" and the I-wish-I-hadn't-called
expression on his face plainly indicat

Cause of Poor Cheese.

John Gould, of Aurora Station,
Ohio, writes to the Country GentIe-
man the cause Of so much poor
cheese:
1t is too much acid in making; moth
ing else. Good cheese is composed of
water, fat and casein. When cheese
is scalded or cooked in the whey, an
acid is developed that destroys fats.
and results in making the cheese dry
when cured, sharp in flavor, salvy and
when cut soon losing it's flavor. This
is not the whole damage from the
sour whey. The acid 1iberates the
phosphates, which elements are valu-
able in promoting digestion, and also
in preventing this excessive sharp
ness.
One other thing is also of great
damage in cheese making, and that is
too rapid cooking Of the curds at the
start. If the steam is turned on, and
the requisite heat quickly attained
the outer surface of the curd is
cooked at once and before the center
is warmed up, and thorough cooking
is thus prevented. This partially
cooked curd does not cure even in the
subsequent curing of the cheese,
which all tends towards making a
poor cutting cheese. 1t is not wholly
the wholesale use Of the skimmers in
the factories that is the cause of poor
cheese, but the very cause I have
pointed out. If the milk is coagulat-
ed with minimum quantity of rem
net, the curd finally cut, and gradual
ly warmed up to the scalding point
Cor before) of the appearance Of acidi-
ty, and after sailing this curd it is ex-
posed to the air until it gets an ''acid''
from this source, rather than from
the whey, the elements wanting in
the other cheese will not be found
wanting in this one.
This dry" acidity Git might be so
called does not afford any chance
| for the acid to ''eat'' out the fats. or
cut out the phosphates, but leaves
them both intact. This results in a
cheese of nutty flavor, buttery quail
ty. easily digested, and when cut,
does not quickly dry out and lose its
flavor. This is often denominated
sweet curd cheese, which it is in one
! sense, but in another it is not, for the
sweet curd cheese is put to press as
soon as sailed, but in this case the
curd is ''oroken down" by the action
of the air, which gives il no after
chance to develope gases while cur
ing, as t would if put Immediately to
press.
There never was any good reason
why there should have been such an
employment Of excessive acldity in
the manufacture Of cheese in cur
factories. This rule of extreme
acidity is being rapidly abandoned or
modified in Ohio, which is proof that
it was radically wrong.

Yanderbilt Painted ON Marble.

VIM. III. Vanderbilt's portrait has
been painted by London artist on a
marble slab an inch thick. The like
ness appears ON the other side of the
slab equally as good. 1t is not only
on the marble, but in the marble and
through it, and cannot be eliminated
from it. You may grind on il oil day
with pumice stone and you cannot
hurt it. So long as even shaving
is left the portrait remains unharmed.
Split it up with saw and every slice
is two portraits.
The portrait is life-lik, the skin be-
ing flesh color, the hair and whiskers
light brown, as if on the verge of
turning to gray, and the coat dark
brown. Mr.. Vanderbilt has not seen
it as yet. 1t is valud at $500.
The process by which this kind Of
work is done is something Of secret.
The portrait is first painted on the
marble. When dry the slab is placed
fiat on car and rolled into an alright
oven Of modern temperature. Under
the car is an open tray full of water,
which is heated slowly by gas. After
being subjected for some time to a
slow steaming process the slab is sud
denly transferred to another oven
with temperature Of 300 degrees,
and kept there till the process is COM
pleted. When removed the colors are
found to have penetrated the marble,
and the picture appears on the other
side.

The telegraph service in Washing
ton is said to have no superior either
in Europe or America. | had brief
chat with gentleman who is recog-
nized authority on all such matters,
only few days since, and he said
"The fastest sender in America is Mr.
P, V. De Graw. Some years ago a
congressional committee went over to
New York and examined the offices of
the Western Union. The members
were taken in charge by Mr.. Walter
?. Phillips, who is now general man
ager of the United Press association,
and who is recognized as the fastest
receiver i'll the business. Mr.. Philips
sat down at the 'clicker' and telegraph
ed Mr.. De Graw to give an exhibition
of his fast sending, for ten minutes.
Chronometers were taken out, and
Mr.. De Graw began. At the cxpira-
tion of the ten minutes he had tele-
graphed four hundred and ninety
words, an average of fourty-nine words
a minute. Mr.. De Graw has charge
of the work at the capitol for the Uni
ted Press association, and occasionally
goes to wire and sends so fast that
the receiver has no difficulty in know
ing who it is in Washington that is
rafting the sounds with such rapidity.
Some time ago Mr.. Phillips made a
bet with an operator in New York that
he could telegraph an editorial at the
rate of forty words minute, for ten
consecutive minutes. Now Phillips is
recognized as the fastest receiver in
the United States, but since lis attack
OF partial paralysis Of the right arm,
occasioned from over work, he is re-
garded as a slow sender The New
York operator snapped up the bet in a
hurry, bat Mr.. Phillips accomplished
the feat with ease. The secret leaked
out after while that Phillips had
written the editorial, and the pecu-
liarity of it was that it did not con-
tain word of more than nine letters

A Lion Tanner Killed by Lionesses.

A terrible accident took place the
other day at Auxonne, by which one
OF the men connected with a menage-
rie, which is now being exhibited there,
lost his life in u cruel manner. The
unfortunate man was showing the
beasts to some friends, and in passing
before cage containing a lion and
two lionesses he had the imprudence
to put one of his arms between the
bars for the purpose Of stroking the
lions name. With a terrific bound
the lionesses Immediately sprang at
the mans arm, in which they buried
their claws, while the lion, by single
snap of his teeth, severed the arm
clean from the shoulder. The mfor-
tunate victim was taken away by an.
other attendant, who was obliged to
beat the beasts back into their cage
with three-pronged fork. The man
died in hospital on Sunday morning
in the most terrible pain.

NTagniacently Lighted.

Several electric light companies are
having q lively time at Washington,
competing for the job of lighting that
beautiful city. Pennsylvania avenue
is splendidly lighted from Fourteenth
street to the capitol by two very pow
erful lights placed inside OF reaectors.
One is on the roof of the treasury
building and the other on the base of
the dome of the capitol. Although
they are over mile apart, it is said
the street is nearly as light as day. 1t
would seem as if that idea might be
adopted in other cities to advantage
and with economy.

Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines has won
another victory. She has been con-
testing for her claim to about $4,000
acres of land in New Mexico, which
grew out of the two grants made in
1903 and 1906 by competent Spanish
authority, the title coming to her
through her father, General Clark.
The Supreme Court having confirmed
the validity of the original grant, the
House of Representatives has decided,
by a large majority, to pay her claim
at the rate of $1.25 per acre or about
$4,000. Mrs Gains is now. an old
woman, and it is a question whether
her life, spent in tedious litigation,
even though she has in the end been
successful, has been as happy as il
would have beenfsif she had never
brough suit and passed it in peace,
yet one cannot help but admire hel
indomitable pluck, and congratulate
her upon her success.
