THE quinine habit is gaining strength

THE quinine habit is gaining strength
every day. Dizziness, that you hear
innumerable people complaining of in
in these days, can be traced to excess in
the use OF quinine. The good effects,
that it is nearly always certain OF, are
lost by excessive doses. Too much qui.
nine will also produce congestion OF
the ear and vibration of the auditory
nerve. The growing habit of taking
quinine for neuralgia and other like all.
ments, without consulting a physician.
is altogether reprehensibe and may
lead to very serious results. Many
cases OF deafness are produced by over
doses and long-continued use Of The
drug.

Curing and Keeping Cheese.

The stage at which to apply salt to
the curd is a critical one in cheese max
ing. and requires q pretty accurate tesr
to decide. There are several, the most
certain being that soft peculiar feeling
known as "velvety," equal Quantities
of butter and whey exuding on the curd
being firmly squeezed in the band the
response TO the hot iron being the flavor
Of nice toasted cheese, etc. The mois-
ture of cheese consists of the water OF
the whey still remaining. the essential
and some Of the volatile oil derived
from the butler, and the butter fats. In
skinned milk or very poor cheese the
proportion OF whey is large, and when
it has passed its proper stage Of rips
ness part of it will evaporate and the
cheese apparently lose its quality,
though i: is merely water II Is loosing.
In full milk or rich cheese the proper
lion is reversed, and the moisture beiug
from richness the cheese will Improve
by long keeping.
Speaking generally, cheese with lit
tie moisture is slow TO ripen with too
much moisture, It natures too soon.
To know the proper gr;st all through is
the touch-stone OF the cheese-maker's
skill. II the curd is toe moist 1t NAV be
Improved by using less rsnpet, or by
keeping up slightly higher temperature,
by breaking the curd finer be-
fore scaldiDg, or by Increasing the
quantity OF salt. A cheese, after being
kept in the press for two days or so.
should be neatly bandxged and removed
TO the cheese-room. One end is then
rubbed with melted butter, the other
similarly at the first turning on the
shelves. a process which may be repeat
ed with benefit. The cheefe-roou
should be SO constructed that certain
and easy control OF the temperature can
be secured-about sixty-fivs degrees be-
ing the average desired. Overheating
melts the butter fats. and they then be-
come rancid and spoil the flavor OF the
cheese. Finally, tern daily and rub
we'll good cheese should have It's sur
face smooth and clean.

The Dismal Swamp an Eden.

The region of the Virginia Dismal
Swamp, writes j. Boyle O'Rsilly in the
Boston Herald, was intended by nature
to be pleasure ground, a health resort
and game preserve for the eastern side
OF the continent. In spite OF all that
has been done and left undone to de-
stroy it. the swamp itself is probably.
the healthisst spot in America. The
delicious juniper water prevents malaria
more effectually and perfectly than the
famed eucalyptus Of Austrilia. Tie
flying game of the continent centres in
this region, and the lake in winter
is the best shooting ground IN the
country. Now that wealthy clubs and
individuals ale buying up the coast
shooting. this Incompatible natural pre-
serve ought to be secured for the Nation
or the State.
Its original undoing was probably
some accident or canaslysm OF nature,
changing a water course, or opening
crster-like spring or number OF springs.
But the remedy from the 1rst was as
open to intelligence a. the tapping of
vein to prevent plethora. The lake, 1t
is probable. was the center and the cause
of the swamp, and il proved by the
streams flowing out OF, instead OF Into
il. Its overnowing waters, when swelied
by rains or springs, finding no natural
channel OF escsps. rose foot by foot to
hA
beach and threatening the densely wood
ed shore.
In this way has been brought the sin
gular conditions of the lake, which. in
stead Of being the lowest, is the highest
portion of the Dismal Swamp. 1t could
be pierced and drained at any point, and
reduced to natural and beautiful pro-
portions. It's overflow, instead OF con-
stantly deluging the surrounding land.
could be guided in 10000 sparkling
channels to enrich and adorn its Won
derful environment. The Lake OF the
Dismal Swamp is, by survey, about
twenty-three feet higher than the sea,
ana 1t is not fifteen miles from tide
water. the intervening land being .
level slope, and, except for the trees,
easy to channel. And. stranger still,
the channels have been dug for over one
hundred years, but they are locked up
at the outer ends with wooden gates.

nsh never failing fund of entertainment.
There is the neghbor with carriage company.
Nothing affords such undeniable distinction and
lifts one so far above the plane of common people
as carriage company. 10 have a carriage is to
have assembled on the rounds of the social ladder,
but to have carriage company is rung higher.
The neighborhood noses are fattened against win
dow panes and poked between shutter Stats, in
contemplation of these patrican fayors, and alb
sorb as much as the atmosphere will permit.
There is the back door neighbour who comes in
when you are not receiving, and the neighbor who
borrows and jeopardizes the possession of your
SOUL There is the neighbor with children who
play rat-tat-tat on your fence palings, and your
neighbor with live .poutry-that scratchup
your flower seeds, and the friendly COW who wan
ders about in the early matutinal hours and chews
off your favorite roses and sacred geraniums.
There is the neighbor with the pano-and per-
severance-not much talent, but so much perse-
verance-Heayen help you! and the neighbor who
keeps boarders that make night melodous with
vocal discerds and warblings of "pull for the
Shore" and "wait till the clouds roll by
Perhaps your neighbor is your landlord; then
there is another watchful eye besides the eye of
Providence, only little less all-seing, on your
every movement; yigiant, detecting eye that
notes holes in the plastering and rents in the wall
paper. The ravages of time are lost in contem-
plation of your devastating treatment. Clearly,
your landlord as neighbor is not desirable.
There is the thrifty neighbor. Everything about
her domain, from the blades of green grass in the
front lawn to the spotess linen floating from the
clothes line in the back garden, bear witness of her
thrift. When she walks out, her very manner, her
action, her gait, say more plainly than words,
lamps are trimmed and burning, my house is
swept and garnished my conscience is clear; take
example from me-" True, she is living reproach
to you in your feeble efforts at housewifery, she
reminds you of your nsuficiency, and you feel to
smte your breast as she goes on her vrtuous way.
There are no cobwebs in her domain no dust in
the corners, no playthings lying about, no torn
toy books, and her children gather on yeur door
step in the early morning, perhaps, to come in
when you open the door, to an abode perchance
less clearly but more gody.
And yet we are told to love our neighbor as
ourself, and not to covet or desire other men s
goods; in our impecunious condition we are to
love them in their prosperity, we are to approve
of and enjoy their nlaid mantels and antique oak
cabinets and art furniture and brica-brac; we are
to thrill with pride when they wear purple and fine
linen and enjoy the "snufling on" effects of
their grandeur.
There is no doubt about it, neighbors are bene-
fetal, taken as discipline
