Character In Handwriting.

There are people who claim to read
mems characters from their writing.
AS the writing of every nation is dis
tinguished by certain strong national
peculiarities, it is easy for an expert
to decide to what nation a. writer be-
longs. Having settled that, certain
large characteristics which are com.
mon to all men, but III different de-
grees, can be seen III every handwrit-
ing. A certain number of meE are
calm, even-lived, sensible and practI-
cal. Men of that class are almost GER
tain to write plain, round hands in
which every letter is distinctly legible;
neither very much slanted forward
nor tilted backward; no letter very
much bigger than it's neighbor, nor
with heads much above or tails much
below the letters not so distinguished;
the letters all having about the same
general uprightness and the lines true
to the edges of the paper, neither tend
ing upward nor downward. Exact,
business-like people will have an exact
handwriting. Fantastic minds revel
IN quirks and streamers, particularly
for the capital letters, and this quail
ty is not infrequent in certain business
hands, as if the writer's found relief
from the prosalc nature of their work
in giving aourishes to certain letters.
Firm, decided, downright men are apt
to bear on the pen while writing, and
to make their strokes hard and thick.
On the contrary, people who are not
sure of themselves, and are lacking in
self-control, press unevenly, and with
anxious looking, scratchy hands.
Ambitious people are apt to be over
worked; they are always in haste and
either forget to cross their is or dot
their is. They are also apt to run
the last few letters of every word into
an illegible scrawl. Hurried, troubled
and conscience-twinged persons have
a grabbed and uneven handwriting.

Secretary Whitney states that the
Navy Department has never received
so many bids for the building of new
ships as it has in answer to it's recent
proposals. The Secretary ofthe Navy
will not ask for any authority of
Congress to build any more cruisers
at present until those he has in hand
are finished. The Department is now
engaged in building cruisers, gun-boats
and ironclads, so that when they are
completed seven new vessels will be
added to the Navy. The Secretary
has also authority to finish the mon
itors, and that will increase the list
to eleven.

The United States supreme court
has just rem dered another and the de-
cision of great Importance on the SUBJ
ject of interstate commerce. 1t was
brought to the courts under the state
law forbidding discrimination in
freight rates. The defense was that
the discriminating rate was made for
transportation from point in Hi
nois to New York, and 80 was beyond
the jurisdiction of the state law. The
court holds distinctly that a state
has the right to regulate freight
charges and railroad management
within it's limits, but that it cannot
prescribe local rules for the regulation
of g. line running through several
states. The decision plainly recog-
nizes, however, the right ofcongress to
regulate interstate commerce, and it
is in this element that it's chief force
and bearing lies. The opinion is by JUS
tice Miller. Justice Bradley delivered
d dissenting opinion, in which the
chief justice and Justice Gray concur
red. In this opinion it is conceded
that congress might, if it saw fit, reg
ulate the matter under consideration,
but not having done SO, it is held that
the state does not lose it's power to
regulate the charges of its own rail-
roads in it's own territory, simply be-
cause the goods or persons transport
ed have been brought from or are des-
tined to a point beyond the state bor-
ders,

How are Small Cheeses Madel

Hoard's Dairvman: The way to
make small cheeses, that are fit to be
eaten, is to make the curd the same
as it is made for large cheese, ON a
large scale. That is, the materials,
and the process must be the same, in
essential principle, or no good result
can be obtained. Still this can be
done without the use of the machinery
and tools that are necessary to do a
large business. Wehave sometimes
taken only hundred pounds of sus-
pected milk and made 1t into a "Young
America" cheese while other thousands
of pounds of milk were being made up
beside it, the same day. We did the
business in the common milk carrying
can. The process is very simple, at
least for an old cheese-maker, and
may be done by a novice, as well,
with a little practice. Heat the milk
to IS. Use rennet, rennetine, Of rem
net tablets, enough to show signs of
thickening in 20 minutes, cut or break
up in so minutes. Dip off as much
whey as rises above the curd, pour
on enough warm water or whey
10 raise LIE COIlGellUS W 90, SUIT
to keep the curd fine, and hold
it so till the curd will adhere
to an iron that is "sissing hot" then
strain out the whey, keep the curd
granular and as warm as 80 till it will
pull out in threads when applied to a
hot iron, one inch in length; salt 4
ounces to 100 pounds of milk, and
put in the hoop, and under pressure,
moderate at first, and finally as hard
as you can from common screw pres
sure. This will make cheese curd that
will make as fine cheese as the best
factories, and if cured and cared for
the same cannot be told from other
thousands made in the same factory,
provided the milk was found to be
as good as that in the big watts. We
have sometimes found that we were
testing the milk of q thief, but oftener
found that our suspicious had no
foundation in fact.
The same steps will make just as
good cheese on the farms as at the
factory, but in saying this it must be
remembered that practice and skill
are matters that cannot be conveyed
through the dash of a pen. But the
above are the steps that the wisest
cheese-makers tread day after day.

The increase of insanity among the
blacks OF the South shows a startling
increase for each OF the two decades
that have passed since Fort Sumpter
was fired upon. The causation of this
great increase of insanity among this
race is being industriously Sought for
by the experts in insanity in the South.
The great change wrought in the con,
dition of the negro by his translation
from slavery to freedom is account
able for most OF the rapid increase.

How to Treat Horses When Their Feet Are Ten
der.
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist.
There are various causes giving rise
to this trouble, some ofthem remova-
BILE and some not. Founder in chron
ic form is one of the irremovable
causes, and navicular disease, usually
called coffin-joint lameness, is anoth'
err. In these diseases the horse
"points" in marked manner, limps
often badly and manifests tenderness
when tapped with hammer on the
sole. If he could be relieved from all
labor and turned barefooted into q
soft pasture for a few months, a per-
manent cure might be effected. If,
however, he must be used, it may be
done with very little suffering to the
horse, by applying an elastic steel
plate over the whole sole, and stuf-
fling the place between the plate
and the sole with oakum saturated
with pine tar. We have employ
ed this method with great satisfac-
ton in the case of q horse tender
from navicular disease; as nearly as
we could determine, in both front feet.
There was moderate contraction, the
feet being quite small, the heels were
high, and the bearing and wear of the
feet chiefly at the toes. This indicat-
ed tenderness of the heels and lack of
frog pressure. On soft ground the
horse stepped squarely and Travelled
quite freely. On hard ground he crept
along on his toes and could not be
urged off of "groggy" trot or amble.
The farrier cut his heels we'll down,
preserving the surface as even as pos
sible and not touching the frog, sole
or bars. Plates were cut from an old
saw blade, the temper having been
drawn. At the toe, q tongue of metal
was left and hole punched in it.
The edge of each plate was struck in
to the beveled upper surface of the
shoe, giving it slope and a position
when in place farther off from the sole
than if it were fat. When shoe and
plate and hoof were ready
the plate was retempered, rivet-
ed to the shoe, and the toe
of the hoof then rasped or cut out a
little, SO that the tongue would not
press unduly. Acushion OF tarred oak

The time is approaching when the
question of providing for the necessi-
ties OF a dense population will
be as pressing with us as it al
ready is in Europe. The natural in
crease of fifty millions of people is
enormous, and when thereto is added
immigration from nearly all the civil
lied countries of the world, the prob

subject OF restraining within just and

Bathing for Pleasure and Health.

To sum up, bathing is a heaven
ordained practice, necessary not only
for pleasure, but for health. The
sponge bath plays the most important
part for purposes of stimulating the
integument and equalizing circula-
ton, rendering the person less liable
to sudden chills. Tepid water should
be used for baths taken for the OBJ
ject of simple cleanliness, ana should
be reinforced by using some alkali,
either soap of best quslity or, if the
water is hard Containing lime), add
little borax. Hot baths should not
be followed to any extent because of
their enervating effects. Never take
bath of any kind when over-heated,
or very much fatigued, with an over
loaded stomach, or Just before taking
q sleigh ride.-Amelia A. Whitefield,
