Since the return OF the Greely party to home and

the suggestion was made that he be made colonel

"Have you heard OF the proposition to make him

mo. have not heard OF it. but II may have been

Betting on the Bean.

THE JUMPING BEAN OF MEXICO AND A NEW FORM
OF VICE 1T HAS INTRODUCED.
The jumping bean OF Mexico is at present Great
ing small sensation in town. By some means q
pocketful or more Of these animated beans have
been brought into the city and distributed. The
bean looks as though it were the third part Of a
glove about third of an inch in diameter. It is
brown and three Of them grow together In a pod
on tall trees found in hot districts of America.
When placed on any surface the bean moves about
with little Sposmodic jerks Its motion is very
errat1c. One use 1t has already been put to Is to
minister to the spirit OF gambling In some quar-
have assembled together there are exciting con-
tests, on which wagers Of considerable amounts
are staked. A little circle IS drawn on the table
and the beans are placed In the center. Then
spot" is made up, ten, twenty-five and even as
much as fifty cents or dollar being requiredNo
''come tn." The owner OF the bean that tumbles
out OF the ring first takes the pot Where only
one bean Is produced the circle is divided into seq
ments and the players bet on the segments The
bean passes in leaving he circle wins the money.
Whenever one sees half dozen persons with their
heads bent closely down over a table, holding
their breath in subdued excitement, he may be
sure that there is jumping bean there. some
persons curious to discover the secret OF the
motive power of the bean have diSSected theirs
and discovered that imprisoned in the core OF the
bean is little wriggling worm. It's movements
cause the eccentric conduct OF the bean. Some
OF these beans were exhibited Saturday In the
seed room OF the Agricultural department. Mr..
Longley, who Is in charge Of the room, says,
however. that they Will not be distributed as

a great mistake when they continue to

been sold for old iron years ago. when a
new one would pay for itself in a short

do and by the extra relief of the hand
work which often accompanies the use of

time arrives for tools, SO whatever can be
decided upon as necessary to be purchased,
had better be bought now, or as soon as

Curing Cheese.

Every rise and fall in the warmth of
the room in which cheese is curing, warps
and impairs the development of flavor,
and causes an extra shrinkage of weight.
Moisture is essential to rapid curing and
to the formation of flavor. Dry air and
much light are Objectionable. We have
found the best curing in dark, close rooms.
and as damp as they could be on account
of mould. 1t was this that led to our lit
tie experiment in curing cheese in boxes,
which, by the way, has proved perfect
success. We have just cut one of the
cheeses 50 cured, now about six months
old, and find the curing perfect-all that
could be desired-and it was so considered
by an expert who happened to be present
when it was cut. Though skinned at
the rate of a pound OF butter from so
pounds Of milk, the flavor is perfectly
clean and quite full and nutty. like that
of a well-made, whole-milk cheese, and
would easily be mistaken for such by the
average consumer. 1t is greatly superior
to those cured on the open shelf The re-
suit has proved so favorable, we propose
to experiment further another year, and
hope others will do so too.
