Cheese Poisoning.

stCheese," says New York merchant:
in the Mail and Eapresss causes as much
illness in this country as salted fish and.
sausages do in Germany. The subject
Of cheese poisoning is being Investigated
by analysts. Whether it arises from the
milk used is not yet fully determined,
but it seems probable that it does. 1t Is
most likely that the poisoning agent IS
in the milk before it becomes cheese. OF
course, every cheese manufacturer has
his theory as to the cause of poisonous
cheese, but there is no unanimity among
them"
"What is your theory2" "
stCneese poison is called tyroto1icon,
and Investigations have shown that the;
toxic agent is in the milk, owing to i'm
proper management of the same, the milk
not being cooled until some hours after
milking. You have only to raise the lid
of can of fresh milk that has stood for
some time without cooling, and the odor
will certainly not impress you pleasantly:
Great care is required in handling all
foods of animal origin, and although man
ufacturers tell you that they exercise
great care and invite inspectors to their
factories, yet you see by such little thing:
as letting milk cool improperly poison
gets into cheese, and all articles in the
manufacture of which milk is used

ACal1I0rnla climate.

Summers and winters are so nearly
alike that one is puzzled to choose be-
tween them. There is no summer day
on which the mercury passes 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, yet few in winter when it
does not reach 10 degrees. The surf
that beneath the bright sky and gentle
breeze rolls so lazily in long miles OF
snowy foam changes its temperature
scarcely 4 degrees from summer to winter.
This makes sea bathing almost an every
day possibility; and one may bathe
either in the surf or the still waters OF
the bay, the two being 100 yards apart
at the bath houses. Upon the higher
parts of the peninsula even hoar frost IS
unknown, and on the low parts Is seen
only once or twice in occasional years,
and then is gone with the sunrise. AS
frost can occur in this section only on
perfectly clear nights, the following day
Is sure to be bright and warm. At this
season, too, the sea breeze has fallen
away to q mere breath Of air; so' that
the greater part of the winter day differs
slightly in temperature from the average
summer day. Grass, trees and flowers,
and even the tropical plants grow IN
midwinter with a vigor unknown upon
most of the low parts of the mainland,
where the temperature falls too much Dy

Plant from the Congo.

The deputation from the Queen Of Anna.
tonga waited upon the Archbishop of Canter'
bury few days since and described the harm
inflicted upon the natives by the liquor traf.
fc. Mr.. Grantham, the Queens adviser, who
was one of the speakers, described the degra.
dation into which this most intelligent race of
Kaffirs had fallen until the native Queen had
forbidden the sale Of liquor by her own sub
jects. Fathers, he said, were constantly
pledging their daughters on security for debts
for liquor.
The trade was now almost entirely in the
hands of the Portuguese, and the Queen
wanted to know whether the English like the
Portugu se were desirous of destroying them
with their poison. She feared such was the
case, cne of her Indunes having recently
been killed by drinking spirits given him by
an Englishman. The Archbishop assured the
deputation of the sympathy Of all in England
who had the welfare of the native races at
heart with the efforts now being made by the
Queen of Amatonga and her people to rid
themselves of the dangers, moral and physical,
which threatened them through the un
checked libuor traftic.-New York Evangelist.

White House News by Way OF Paris

New YORK, Jan. S.-The Government
of New South Wales has offered re
ward of 3, 12j, 900 francs to the, inventor
of practical means to annlhllate the
rabbits who ravage Australia and New
Zealand, and it is a serious question in
Washington to submit to Congress bill
with The object to equally offer an honest
reward to the one who will find the
means to rid the White House OF the
rats. who are all over the White House,
and who make life in there very dis
agreeable. ,,:
Thus, Mrs. Cleveland recently talking
to one of the most intimate friends, mas
confded to her most secretly that the
President of the United States passed
half of his nights in chasing the rats.
The secret, as it seems, has not been
we'll guarded. Besides, it is known for
a long time that this indiscreet race OF
onawers threatened to take hold OF the
Chief Of the White House.
Under the Presidency of Mr.. Arthur
the rats pushed their audacity so far that
thew we're present at most of the meetings
of the Ministers (Secretaries). Presi-
dent Arthur declared war toward them,
but, same as Mr.. Cleveland. never sue
ceeded in getting rid Of then.-ParH

amusements in church leaders, then, Of
course, they may ask the leaders to approve
the same in them; otherwise, not" It Is q

Carrots. .

This rather plebeian vegetable has the
merit of being exceedingly nutritious,
particularly when made into soup. The
proper way to make it is to remove the
fat from piece of fresh beef, seasoned
with a very little salt and pepper, al
lowing small quart of water to each
pound. Crate half dozen or more large
carrots on coarse crater, and put them
to boil in the soup with some other car
rots; perhaps three will be sufficient;
cut into two-inch-long pieces.
When the beef is boiled to rags, and
has left the bone, pour off the soup from
the sediment, transferring it to tureen,
and sending it to table with bread cut
into it. A simpler manner is to use car
rots in winter, boiled and forced into q
pulp through sieve into some good,
not too strong stock. 1t must be remem-
bered that carrots need more boiling
than any other vegetable. Small young
carrots need half an hour, large ones
from one to two hours. These are also
considered very pleasant accessory to
the table sliced thin after boiling, put
into a saucepan with bits of butter,
dredged with flour, seasoned with pep
per and stewed soft with water.

Lamb Pie,

For a. delicious lamb pie: Take some
outlets from the upper portios of leg
of lamb, and cut them into pieces about
three inches long and wideI season
slightly with salt and pepper. Let them
stew in a very little water for half an
hour. In the meantime prepare q deli
cate paste, allowing pound of butter
to pound of -four, adding water gradu-
ally enough to- make dough; when in
readiness, the upper crust should be the
thickest. Put in the stewed lamb with
its gravy, intersperse some, blades of
mace, add a few sliced potatoes and
boiled turnips, cover the meat lightly
with some chopped boiled celery and
pieces of butter, or for the celery boiled
caulihower may be substituted, seasoned
with nutmeg.-New York Post.

Learn to Carve.

Carving is a very graceful and useful
accomplishment, and everybody should
study to know how to dissect fowl.
A turkey in the hands of an artist can be
made to furnish large number at a
table, but a clumsy butcher can make it
an incouvenient bird-too much for two
and not enough for four. Mrs. Muhl-
bach, in one of her instructive and inter-
esting historical novels, shows how en-.
tirely the mistress of house is depend
ent upon the skill or temper of the
butler. If he chooses he can carve the
fowl so as to serve number of guests,
bnt if he is ruffled he will cut it in such
hunks as that it will not suffice to go
around the table. Every Southern man,
nearly, prefers to do bis own carving,
and the skill displayed in the perform
ance raises it to the dignity of the fine
arts. Skill in carving is one of the
necessary requisites for every gentleman
of the house, and without it the sum Of
his domestic accomplishments is in
complete.

RESENTMENT.

I'm envious of the roses
The flowers that she loves best
Whene'er she takes them from the thorns
To bloom upon her breast!
It fills me with resentment
IA strange thing to aver
To think that soulless creatures
Should be 80 near to her.
While I, with ceaseless effort,
Have never gained the art
To pass with love triumphantly
The threshold Of her heart!

Directions for Corning Beef.

Let the beef for corning be weIl
soaked in weak salt water to- draw out
the blood, then pack in sweet barrel.
Put layer of salt over the bottom; then
make pickle of four gallons Of water,
one quart of molasses, two ounces Of
saltpetre, eight pounds of coarse salt;
boil we'll and skim off all impurities.
When perfectly cold pour over the beef,
and it will be sweet, nice and tender.
The comfort Of family depends so
much upon having meats cured properly
that one can afford to take some extra
pains in preparing them, and then there
is no danger of their heating if you are
careful to keep the flies away, which OF
course, housewives know, requires con-
slant watchfulness and care. These
recipes have been tested for nearly forty
years. and not improved upon.
