MINISTER HUBBARD's DEFENCE
He EePels, With Some Heat, the False
Charges Brought Against Him.
[Galveston To- special.


In a letter to the Galveston News, under
date of the United States Legation, Toxic,
Japan, April 49, 1886, Minister Richard B.
Hubbard enters an emphatic denial of the
truthfulness of the canards put in circulation
about his boorishness and want of civilty in
the discharge of the delicate duties of his
Office.
The following is the gist of his reloinder:
Alter expressing his acknowledgements to
the journals who denied the correctness of
these slanderOus reports, and apologiZing for
his somewhat unidentified course in publicly
resenting them, Minister Hubbard says: Il
have been saved the necessity of entering
heretofore into any formal controversy on
this account or OF denouncing the unknown
and irresponsible authors of these Munchau-
sen stories which have been published in
America. The reckless and malicious IN
form ers from this side of the Paci6c-if in
deed they originated here, and who would
not dare to make known their names here
knew that the ISLANDERS would first be printed
1000 miles from Japan, and doubtless hoped
10 instil the poison of their malice and in
flct the wrong intended many months be-
fore it gould possibly be corrected from the
distant East.
WHAT THE FALsEHOODs WERE.
These bold falsehoods, saying in sub
stance that the United States Minister had
cursed Japan in the presence of the MikadO
and insulted the French Minis er at his own
State dinner, and that he introduced an
American Admiral improperly at Court,
only created wonder here at the audacity nf
the falsehood and contempt for the anony-
nous and cowardiy libeller." Admitting
that stories of this character generally have
a grain of truth in them, he SAYS those pub
ished about him lack this essential in toto
he Is EVERYTHING HE OUGHT TO BE.
He closes as follows: knowing, and
very grateful. too, that my own Government

name nor the interests of the United States

Soft Cheese from skim Milk.

4 writer in the London Times thinks that
SOFT cheese can be prOfitably made from skim
milk He says: at will be remembered how
in the model dairy at the Brighton show
last summer Mr. Long gave explanatory
demonstration of the simple methods Of
making three kinds of soft cheese-employ-
ing such elementary appliances as timed
iron hoops. beech boards, straw mats, milk
vessels, draining shelves and til" -mometer.
Any body can learn the processes, and few
experim ents will teach the practice of ripen-
ing the the cheeses in an apartment having a
regulated temperature proper for the devel-
opment of the necessary white mold fol-
lowed by blue mold, producing the most
admired flavor. From a gallon of whole
milk costing 6 pence, be made Brie cheese
(the most famous French varieties) worth at
ten days TO three months old from l shilling
to shilling 6 pence; from half gallon of
milk, half of il SKINNED, valued at 21I
pence, he made Coulommiers, round chez Sc
worth at least s pence; and from skim-milk
only, costing about l pence, he made a
square variety, of bis own invention named
Gravely cheese, partskIng of the qualities OF
Limburg of Germany and the Livarot of
France. Farmers must not mind a little
trouble if they can thereby convert skim
milk into product saable at treble or quad
ripple the value of the milk. Nearly six

MIX for Calves.

Mr.. J. y. Muncey, of Jesup, Ia, writes
The Dairy World: 1t is a well settled point
among the farmers of this locality that the
skim-milk from the new milk hauled to the
separator, once day, is not first class To-
feeding calv's. A numter condemn the
seI arated milk, assuming that the machine
affects its feeding value. This is great mis-
take. The difficulty lies largely in the care
taken Of the milk before it is sent to the sep
arator. In cold weather, when the milk is
taken to the factory once a day, the rules Of
the company here do not require that the
new milk be Immediately cooled TO 90 de-
grees or that it be cooled at all. The con
sequence is that at many times the new milk
is partly sour before it runs through the sep
arator, and all other milk with which it is
mixed is, of course, damaged for feeding
calves The fault is not with the machine
always. The proprietors OF creameries to

separarofs, should compel the patrons I'd

rapidly decrease; can cite several examples
already of men who quit sending because of

Wounded His Master.

Scarcely week now elapses but
reports are received from some Sec
ton or another of the provinces of
France of terrible scenes between
wild animals and their trainers, and
it is reported that the French Gov
eminent is seriously considering the
advisability of seeking the enact
ment of stringent laws for the gov
ernment of menageries. The latest
story comes from lie Puy, where a
menagerie stopped few days on its
tourof Auvergne. The performance
began as usual by tanner named
Castaufua entering the lions cage.
He had barely closed the door, when
amagnifcentlion called D'Artagnan
uttered fierce roar and sprang up
on his master, who was thrown to
his knees. With blow of an iron
truncheon he stunned the animal,
and, having thus gotten rid of his
adversary, he proceeded to make the
other animals go through their won't
ed performances, although the blood
was flowing from his arm. He was
in state of frenzy and did not seem
to be aware of his condition. A
considerable portion ofthe audience
had stampeded when the lion made
its attack, and those that remained
shouted Enough !" Enough !"
until Castaufua, brought back to his
senses by the tumult, emerged from
the cage, and as he closed the iron
doors fell in a swoon to the stage.
Doctors were summoned and soon
found his arm stripped of flesh
to the bone from the shoulder to the
wrist. The lion recovered concious-
ness in about an hour, and for the
rest of the day rolled its head in the
blood upon the floor and roared in
cessantly.

A Brides Whim.

On the banks of the Murray, N.
S. W.. which separates Victoria from
New South Wales, a Presbyterian
minister had his charge, his church
and residence being on the Victoria
side, and a portion of his congrega-
ton residing on that of New South
Wales. In the course of events q
young lady of his people was to be
married but with the fancies that
young ladies so often indulge in, she
would be married in her fathers
home, which was ON the New South
Wales shore, and by her pastor, who
as it appeared at the last moment,
was registered only to tie nuptial
knot in Victoria. Here was Il pretty
fix; the hour had come-and the
man. Moved by tears of the lovely
suppliant, the minister was equal to
the occasion. 1t appears that the
whole of the waters of the Murray
pertain to Victoria, so, obtaining IL
boat, and putting therein all his par
aphernalia and books and other in
struments requisite for the perform
ance of the ceremony, he put off
from the shore. The young lady
and her friends came to the foot of
her fathers grounds, and the party
standing on the shore in battle array,
the marriage service was duly per-
formed by the minister in the boat.
The marriage was enrolled in the
records at Melbourne; but the ques-
ton arises, or may arise, or in the
event of certain contingencies very
certainly will arise, is the marriage
legal?

Brute Instinct.

Animals get rid of their parasites
by using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those
suffering from fever restrict their
diet, keep quiet, seek dark, airy
places, drink water and sometimes
plunge into it. When a dog has
lost his appetite it eats that species
ofgrass knows as dog grass, which
acts as an emetic and a purgatiye.
Cats all eats grass. Sheep and COWS
when i'll seek out certain herbs. An
animal suffering from chronic rheu-
matism always keeps, as far as pos
sible, in the sun. The warrior ants
have regularly organized ambulan-
ces. Latreille cut the antenn@ of
the ant, and other ants came and
covered the wounded part with a
transparent fluid secreted from their
mouths. Ifa chimpanzee is wound
ed, it stops the bleeding by placing
its hand on the wound or dressing it
with leaves and grass. When the
animal has wounded leg or arm
hanging on it completes the amputa-
ton by means of its teeth. A dog
on being stung in the muzzle by
viper, was observed to plunge its
head repeatedly for several days in
to running water. This animal
eventually recovered. A sporting dog
was run over by carriage. During
three weeks in winter it remained
lying in brook, where its food was
taken to it. This animal recovered.
A terrier hurt its right eye. 1t re-
mained under a counter, avoiding
light and heat, although it habitual-
ly kept close to the fire. 1t adopted
a general treatment, rest and absti-
nence from food. The local treat
ment, consisted in licking the upper
surface of the paw, which it applied
to the wounded eye, again licking
the paw when it became dry. Ami
mails suffering from traumatic fever
treat themselves by the continued
application of cold water, which M.
Delaunay considers to be more GER
tain than any of the other methods.
In view of these interesting facts we
are, he thinks, forced to admit that
hygiene and therapeutics, as practic-
ed by animals. may, in the interest
of psychology, be studied with ad-
vantage. Many physicians have
been keen observers of animals, their
diseases and the methods adopted
by them in their efforts to cure
themselves, and have availed of the
knowledge so brought under their
observation in their practice.

How a Farmer Shaves.

To witness a farmer shave is one
of the most painful operations ever
witnessed outside of dow fright
butchery. For some reason away
beyond the depth of present know
ledge, the man who breads the
country always has a beard like a
new hair brush, and he never could
learn how to sharpen a razor.
He gets on the back stoop with
his shaving utensils, and after rub
bing the razor over the strap in an
awkward fashion until whatever
trace of edge it may have had has
been destroyed, he hangs up his
broken glass and takes q position
alongside the kitchen door, where
the old lady will be sure to jostle
his arm when she goes out to empty
her dish water.
With a brush that has but little
handle remaining, he manages some
how to stir up a lot of lather from
soap that would raise blister on
the bottom of boys foot in dog
days, with which he coats his face
till nothing but his eyes and the
back of his head are visible. With
cob dipped in warm water he goes
over the stubble with vigor that
makes the flesh creep until he feels
that all the reasonable precautions
for comfort in the subsequent opera
ton have been taken.
Taking the razor and looking at it
suspiciously over the top of his
glasses, he runs his thumb along the
edge, fails to draw blood as he had
hoped, and then with sigh like
leaving town in hurry, he grabs
himself by the nose, shuts his eyes,
and gives a scrape that makes his
hair stand on end as bunch of
beard seems to come out by the
roots.
But once at it a terrible despera-
ton seems to nerve him, and with
teeth set he goes right on with de-
termination to get the agony over as
soon as nOssihle HOw1s of 1uoa
break from him now and then, as an
expression that poisons life steals
over his face and stops there till the
last nerve has been pulled out of
socket by that terrible razor, and the
last bit of stubble has been laid low,
when, with sigh of relief, he strikes
up a hymn of thanksgiving and joy
fully throws his shaving paper into
the swill barrel near by.-Eschange.
