Art of making English cheese.

The famous British sirloin of beef is
being gradually ousted by its American
succulent competitor, and the art of max
ing English cheese to perfection is gradu-
ally disappearing from the English grazing
counties. Lord Tollemache, one of the
most liberal and intelligent landlords of
England, recently addressed letter to his
tenants, in which he remarks: "The quail
Ity of American cheese has greatly i'm
proved. Consequently it is more import
ant than ever that you should spare no
pains in making cheese of prime quality
TO enable you to compete successfully with
the foreign producers. Pray, allow me to
remind you that in this world it is almost
impossible to arrive at perfection, but if
any tenant on this estate wishes to receive
further instruction in cheese making, he
has only to apply to my agent. who will
be found most willing to arrange for that
instruction to be given, and to pay, for
me, half the fee of e5, which any superior
cheesemaker ought, in fairness, to receive
for giving instruction in the art" San

work of the Lost Car Agent.

A great many consider the work of keep
ing run Of cars owned by a railroad COM
panySa stupendous task, and marvel at the
ease with which line can usually locate
its missing property. That it is a great
task is true, but there is nothing marvel
Gus in it at all, 1t is simply system. A
daily record is kept of the loaded and
empty cars on our own and other lines,
where there are Missouri g Pacific cars,
the telegraph making 1T possible for such
a record to be kept.
It IS often necessary to locate a car which
slips out of the record, and for that pur-
pose a 1ost-car agent is regularly en-
ployed. He begins at the beginning, to
make It plain, ascertains where the car
started from originally and how billed, its
destination and contents, and follows 1t
up till run down. 1t is almost an impossi-
bility to lose a car. They can not get away.
The distribution of empty cars is a task
which requires quick thought, thorough
understanding of the resources of the
company in the way of empties and where
they are located, all of which work is
speedily executed because it is done sys-
tematically. 1t is all system, no sleight-of-
hand whatever. -Superintendent Brock in
Globe-Democrat.

The Ratt1esnakes of Pyramid Lake.

One of the small, rocky islands of Pyra-
mid lake, Nevada, is alive with rattle
snakes. 1t is supposed that the progeni-
tors of these snakes were waited to the
island on punches of floating driftwood.
There are thousands, if not millions-the
people about the lake say millions-of the
rattlers on the island, and their right to
it there are "none to dispute" The rep
tiles have their homes among the rocks,
and feed upon the eggs and young of
waterfowl and dead fish that are cast
upon the island. Stories have been told
of these snakes rushing forth in body,
Kissing and rafting, to attack any one
landing upon the island. The rattle
snakes of the island, when disturbed,
glide away and hide themselves in the
crevices of the rocks, just as would sim
liar snakes on the mainland, though they
bait and show fight when hard pressed

A little Excitement,

A little more than Ave months
ago Maryville was entered by a
man whose name was Carnes. For
about three months he was
connected with the drug store of
G. R. Laughter & Co. Commencing
about the first of May he was en-.
ployed by this firm as professional
prescription writer. While in, Ma
ryville he seemed to be a quiet
man and was seldom seen on the
streets. After being thus employ.
ed for about three months no was
discharged Gas his employers state)
and returned to his home at Coal
Creek, Tenn. He is said to have an
aniable wife living at that point
and three or four children. But II
seems that he had rather stay al
some other place; so, a short time
afterward, he leaves home and
family and takes up his abode In
Newcomb, Tenn, as practicine
physician.
On last Friday night at about
1880 o'clock, a buggy was seer
standing near the Ferrara building
in which the G. r. Laughter & Co
drug store now holds forth. Tht
gentleman in question, DR.. E. c
Carnes, made his exit from thu
building, accompanied by Mrs
Berry Willis, nee Tempy West
The two entered the carriage ant
drove away and are gone. Ant

The inmates Of a particular wagon

the victims of these drummers; and
in the dying hour they will be heard
to remark "can't you give me seven

Not Intending to kick.

Since our connection with Mary
vile journalism we have published
as many as one hundred programs
of teachers Institutes, receiving
not cent in recompense. This is
all well enough, and we don't pro-
pose to kick about it; but it is a
lamentable fact that fewer teachers
are subscribers to the TIMES than
any other profession. We do more
publishing for them than for any
other class of persons and receive
by far a smaller patronage.

The greater portion Of the day was devoted to,
the famous Dick West abduction case. There is
considerable interest manifested in this case BY
our readers, it having been before them for 90
long time, and hence we will give a short
sketch of the case.
In October Of 1885 girl by the name of Lottie
Carter was taken to the home of W. M. Watkins.
verbal agreement between Mr.. Watkins and
the girl was made, to the effect that she should
obey as child, should do whatsoever her hands
found to do, and be recompensed by board and
clothing. Previous to this engagement at Mr..
Watkins, said girl had been staying at one place
and another, whittier her fancy attracted her;
but Immediately before the above contract she
had been living at the home Of D. h. West.
About seven o'clock on morning in October
footsteps wera heard BY the family, who rushed
to the place from whence they came. Dick West
and q young man named Burgess Ward had hold

brought them back. Dick was given prelimi

Court. The case was continued from term h

witnesses were introduced and interest Was YER
great; large number of character witnese
were also introduced.
There was nothing in the case, after all tn

A Splendid Idea,

For many years we have wonder
ed at the fact that revival meetings
of greatest power generally take
place in the winter. We have at
last figured 1t out. AS soon as the
purple and golden leaves of autumn
find their way to the ground, they
are placed in the family Bible,
where they remain till warm
weather. This necessitates very
little use of the Holy Book; hence,
the conclusion. If any of our ex.
changescan give q better idea, ring
the chestnut bell and we will 60
