Cheese Making in a Small Way.

1t was far more common twenty tive
years ago than nowadays for farmers
wives personally to preside over the
dairy and conduct the making of cheese
through it's various stages. There are,
however, even now many housewives
who would occasionally make few
cheeses for home consumption if they
only were possessed of the necessary
conveniences. With view to assisting
this class of would be cheese makers we
have reprinted from Farm and Fireside a

THE GROWTH OF WHISrpLAYIYG.

One OF the conspicuous social tendencies Of to-
day is the rapid growth in popular favor Of the
ancient and honorable game OF whist. In Eng
land, and TO a considerable extent In France whist
has ranked for two centuries at the head of the
list OF games that can be played with cards, but
IL has never achieved euy such position in America
large and highly enthusiastic body OF parti-
sans, which in the South became at one time
almost dominant, have always advocated it as the
game that brings out more powerfully and in
greater variety than any other the intellectual
resources Of players. 1t is possible that the very
ardency with which this claim was urged, to-
gether with It's assumption that whoever took q
contrary view must inevitably be rather deficient
in intellectual resources, operated as positive
bar TO the game. At all events, public fancy, II
not public Judgment was against IL, and twenty
years ago IL had come 20 be looked upon as nice
old game for nice old people who liked to snuggle
around the fireplace of winter evening, and who
viewed with apprehension all that was novel and
lively.
In those days, when you wished to make a
particularly good impression on your equity old
grandfather, or when you thought II desirable
TO be amiablc toward your elderly maiden aunt,
when you visited Boston or a country house down
South, you always took an opportunity TO extol
the merits Of whist but the idea Of sitting down
10 rubber OF ones own option, and just for the
fun Of IL, would never occur TO the ordinary man.
Before the War great tales were told OF Sir. Chys
prowess at whist and Of the little parties ofwhlch
he was the central figure wherein the game was

AGAINST one Of those surprisingly lovely days
when mere existence is delight to most
people If the statement is true, the ingenious
Gaul who desired to explain the fact might
saw that on day like that" the bridal OF the
earth and sky'-there is such an exaltation oil
spirit that representative souls find the tram
msls of the flesh insupportable; but this could
scarcely be called good working hypothesis
IL is safe to assume-since the assumption
can meter be disproved-that an extraordinary
prevalence Of suicides may be attributed phi
marty to imitation. Man is an initiative
animal, and bad example is almost as con-
tagious as good one; almost, not quite it is
to be hoped, since otherwise the prospect Of
n millennium would be even remoter than it is
believed to be. A man who meditates taking
his own life must necessarily be in a morbid
state of mind and suicide is far more often
consequent upon meditation than upon sud-
den mania. 1t follows that the emotional con-
ditions which suggest self-destruction are such
as would naturally be intensified by the ex-
ample Of similar impulse carried out to it's
logical conclusion; and the more notorious the
example the stronger should we expect its in
auence TO be.
This latest epidemic was preceded by a
suicide about which the whole world has been
talking ever since, and it is not strange, from
the point of view Of experience, that the Aus
trian tragedy, directing so many minds into
one channel should have been followed by the
repeated triumph of a morbid purpose over nor
nal restraints. Ii would be interesting to
know whether similar outbreak has occurred

PROTOCOLS AND PROMISES.

The publication of the protocols Of the con-
ference held at Washington in 1887 justifes
THE TRTBUNE's accounts Of those diplomatic
consultations Secretary Bayards invitation
to Germany and England proposed autonomy
and neutrality Of tho islands as the ground OF
discussion. The German Minister at the first
session demanded the deposition Of Malietoa
and the election Of successor, presumably
Tamasese, with foreign adviser who should
be responsible for the administration Of the
islands. The English Minister seconded both
proposals and acquieSced in Germany's claim
to control the new Kings administration. Sec
rotary Bayard adhered for several days to the
original basis for the conference, and then lind
ing himself outvoted at every turn suspended
the sessions until the autumn. There was an
agreement on certain points, notably the cleo
ton of a new King, the absolute equality OF
the three Powers and the autonomy OF the
islands; and the conference was to be resumed
at later period. Hardly was the ink OF the
protocols dry before the German feet steamed
into the harbor of Apia and Malietoa was de
posed and made prisoner of war. The de-
mand made by the German Minister at the
conference and supported by the English Min
lister was enforced in defiance Of Secretary
Bayard and in violation Of the bases of the
conference. Tamasese was put on the throne
with the German Consul as an irresponsible
adviser; and when Secretary Bayard asked
for "a free and unawed election" Count Her
bert Bismarck calmly referred to the action Of
group of intimidated chiefs as a fulflment
of the pledges of the conference.
The protocols with the preliminary CORE
! spondence show that the conference assembled
ON the basis Of an admitted equality Of rights
of the three Powers, that England and Ger
many acted in concert in opposition to the
United States, and that the sessions were tenn
porarily suspended without final action. Tho
control of Samoa was arbitrarily seized by
Germany in violation Of pledges made at and
before the conference. Secretary Bayard did
not resent this, but continued the diplomatic
correspondence in dazed and helpless way. Not
only was Tamasese established on the throne,
but Germany assumed as effectual a control Of
Samoa as it would have exercised II annexa-
ton had taken place. Although the confer
ence had not been finally adjourned, and the
three Powers were under obligations to await
its decisions, the German Government was
Carrying out the programme which was an
nounced by It's representative, but not sano-
toned by Secretary Bsyard.
These facts must be steadily borne in mind
when Prince Bismarck, in proposing resump-
| don of tho sessions promises that the inviola-
bifty Of Samoan neutrality will be guaranteed

The most inattentive reader Of the daily
papers can scarcely have failed TO note the
unusual series Of suicides lately reported. THE
TRIBUNE suggested not long ago that so-called
epidemics of crime are partially accounted for
by the increased activity 10 which newsgather-
ers are naturally stimulated when few CO.
medicines have directed popular attention to
particular variety OF occurrences. This con-
sderation does not seem to apply to the pres
emit case. A dozen deaths by suicide wero
recorded. in the New-York papers during five
days of last week, not one Of which was either
treated sensationaly or was lacking in some
element Of legitimate interest. These victims

student, politician, an artist, private secre-
tary, a salesman and wealthy Hebrew. In

disgrace and another to escape physical suffer

If the inquiry of the Royal Clyde Yacht Club

consent to waive its new rules governing con-
tests for the Americas Cup, and to sail a
match under the conditions that governed the

us another fight for the trophy, they ought TO
be satisfied with the answer they have received
