Boyd Winchester, the consul general of

completed some exhaustive researches in
regard to the cheese industry of that coun-

the cheese-makers of this country will be
a little slow TO believe He claims TO have

prevailed in the cheese regions of that
country, Mr. Winchester says, was for
the friends of a bride and bridegroom 10

day Of an elaborate cheese. This cheese
was used as a family register and heir
loom on which the births, marriages and
deaths are recorded. He says that he has

back to 1900. In many parts of Switzer
land cheese forms the principal diet Of the
people. He says that new cheese often
causes sickness. When this is the case the

One day last summer while the troops
were being brought into Fort Reno, l. T.,
to be ready 10 suppress an outbreak
among the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes,
they found IA great many snakes in the
prairie grass In one day the soldiers
killed thirteen large rattleSnakes. A
young cavalry officer gave his experience
with an unusual specimen of the snake
family. After going into camp about dusk
he started for the spring in little ravine
near by. When not far from the ravine
he saw the object, which was about an
inch in diameter and of Shiny green
color, dragging its length across his path
with rapid movement. Quick as flash
he drew his saber and slashei it in two

or three feet number of times, but still
was not able to head or check its speed

Oil Of rosemary, lavendar and thyme, in
the proportions of ten, two and a half and
two and a half parts respectively, are
mixed with water and nitric acid in the

forts to secure the assignments of entire
days for their consideration. Several mo-

that end. Efforts will also be made to sun,
pend the rules and pass the bill to regulate
the promotion Of graduates Of the military

comes up as unfinished business tomorrow
and VIII occupy the attention OF the

followed by the diplomatic appropriation
bill. The public lands committee may, un-
der the newly conferred power, call up dur
