Origin of the Curfew.

The curfew is said to havs been intro
duced into England by William the
Conqueror. By hat monarch it was
ordained under severe penalties, when
tho curfew bell rang Mt eight o'clock in
the evening all lights and fires should be
e~xtinguished. There are those who hold
that this was merely the enforcing of an
existing and very common police regula.
ton to that effect. The absolute pro-
hibition of lights after the ringing of the
curfew bell was abolished by Henry L.,
in the year HOO, but the practice of toll
ling q bell at q fixed hour in the evening
was continued, and this, which is still
extant in some places, is n survival of the
curfew of medieval times. At first the
common hour was eve o'clock, then il
was gradually advanced to eight, and in
some places to nine o'clock; indeed, in
Scotland, ten o'clock was not an unusual
hour. The curfew was q regulation most
useful in those early days, when it was
the custom to place the fire in a hole in
the middle of the floor, under an open.
ing in the roof, to allow the escape OF
the smoke. When the family retired
for the night, the fire was eXtinguished
by covering it up; hence the term cou.
vrefeau OF curfew. The regulation was
also ser iceable in obliging the women
to keep i'll their houses, and thus pre-
venting night brawls in the street. 1t is
believed there is no historical authority
for the popular tradition that the sever
ity exhibited by the Conqueror, in en-
forcing obedience to the curfew, was
most particularly designed to prevent
the English from assembling in secret
their Norman lords New York Dis

Queer Medicines.

The real properties of medicine are,
to q great extent, unknown, although
every educated person in China pro-
fesses n knowledge of the subject, and
wonderful specifics for all sorts of dis
eases are advertised on walls and public
places, very much as with ourselves, life
pills especially being a favorite form of
advertisement. Wonderful virtues are
attributed to inert substances, such as
dragons teeth, fossil bones of tigers,
teeth, deers' horns, &c. The favorite
native remedy in all forms of debility or
severe disease is ginseng, enormous
quantities of which are used. The eX-
port from New Chang, in Manchuria, to
the Chinese ports of this article for ono
year alone reached the enormous value
of e51, 900. European physicians, how
ever, declare ginseng to be merely a
mild tonic, devoid of the wonderful
strengthening qualities attributed to it
by the Chinese. Then, again, port ns
of the human body are mentioned as
medicines i'll the Chinese pharma-
copuia, and in certain cases have actll-
ally been eaten by natives with a view
to obtaining greater courage and vi
T1lity, while it is not for
bodies to be exhumed, for the purpose
of manufacturing magic drugs. In
dropsy and rheumatism, the bitter ker-
nels of the common wild cherry are
prescribed. That the Chinese are a
drug-lovlng people is evident, from the
enormous quantities exported from the
localities where they are grown to other
parts of the empire. Thus, from the
port of Hankow on the Yang tse-Kiang,
the export for one year reached the total
of Is, 799, DOB pounds, an AMOUNT which,
as Her Majesty's Consul for that port
remarks, "would seem enough to physic
the whole world" And yet this was all
for native consumption. The imports
at Shanghai for the same year com
prised, among other items, three tons of
tigers bones, four tons of Gro .odiles'
scales, and a quantity of young deers'
horns, all of which would doubtless
figure in the prescriptions of the native
faculty. And yet the Chinese pharma
copGia contains many valuable rene
dies, If their properties were only better
understood. The writer above quoted
says, hat the Chinese have ''for ages
been acquainted with many valuable
drugs, both salycine and 'cuonymene
among others, only lately come into use
in foreign lands; and there are, beyond
doubt, many others among their album
dant stores of which at present we have
no knowledge; among others, the in
China celebrated 'pu-urh-cha,' used by
them as a digestive at the close of their
heavy f%easts, deserves at least to be in
vcstigated." He further expresses the
hope that the export of the inuumerable
materia medica of the Chinese pharma-
copuia may in course of time develop
into an important branch of foreign
trade.-The National Review.

Pineapple Cheese.

The first pineapple cheese in this
country were made, according to a re-
port of the Connecticut Dairy Commits
sion, in 1903 by Lewis M. Norton, of
Goshen, Conn. His only knowledge of
making the cheese was derived from
seeing q piece of one that came from
England. A soft Stilton cheese of this
form was made in England without
pressing, of curd solidifed by draining,
and then suspended in a net, which
made the impression on the outside. In
1910 O patent was obtained for the me
thod of making this impression with q
net by Nh. Norton of Goshen. He con-
tinued making these cheese from his
WI dairy of less than fifty lows from
1903 until 1874, when he commenced
buying curd from other diaries, and
built, as we suppose, the first cheese
factory in country. In o few years
many factories were started n other
States for the manufacture of common
cheese, and the method adopted of pur-
chasing milk instead of curd. The man.
ufacture of pineapple cheese has been
continued on this place III Goshen since
1908, now eighty years. A similar man
ufacture was started in the State of New
York in 1850 by q son of the inventor.
The product of these two Norton fac
tories is now about $1,000 to 70, 0
cheese annually.
Three sizes are now made, as the de-
mand for this rs well as foreign cheese
seem to require smaller sizes. There
are other and smaller establishments in
this country for making these cheese,
of which there are three or four in
Central New York, one in Southern
Michigan and one or two in the North
west.
The market for the common brands of
pineapple cheese appears to be some
what oppressed at this season, the price
being but one or two cents a pound above
that of common cheese. Thefancy brands
of the Norton cheese command some
what higher prices.
During 1888 in the Goshen factory
the amount of milk purchased was about
ono million pounds, making, by usual
calculation of ten pounds of milk for
one pound of cheese, 100, 900 pounds of
cheese. The number of cheese made in
1883 was about $1,000. The number
made in the Norton factory in Attica,
n. Y, was nearly as large rs in Goshen.
We cannot learn that any pineapple
cheeses are now made in England or on
the Continent.

There is nothing TO iniure his health. 1

The Color of Birds.

DR.. Sauermann, whose high reputation
among the physiological societies of the
world give great weight to his conclu-
siOns, has lately made a series of inves.
tigation into the effect that cayenne
pepper has upon birds, fowls, pigeons,
and other species of the feathered fam
lily. These Investigations were under
taken in connection with the observed
fact that canaries fed with cayenne pep
per acquire a ruddy plumage. This
diet was found only to produce the
effect stated upon young birds when
given to them before they moulted.
The ~colorof the feathers f the old birds
was not affected at all, although a CON
siderable amount of the pepper was
given at different times, extending over
an interval of several weeks. Moisture
was found to facilitate the change of
color to n ruddy hue, which was again
discharged under the influence of sun
light or of n cold, dry atmosphere. The
whole of the Pepper is not required to
( produce the change, n portion of it be
ing quite ina tive, as for example, the
piperin and several extractives; SINH
lar y the red coloring matter alone had
no effect on thecolOr of the feathers. 1t
is rather the tr,olein, which occurs i'll
the pepper in large quantities, together
with the Characteristic pigment, which
brings about the change of color by
hold ng the red pigment of the pepper
i'll solution Glycerine may be used in
stead of triolein to bring about the same
result.
The same statement holds good with
regard to the feeding of birds with ami
line colors. The red pigment of the
pepper is also stored up in the egg yolk
as well as in the feathers. The first APP
pea auce of this co!ored pigment in the
yotk can be obs rived rs Il colored ring
four days after the commencement of
feeding with the pigment dissolved in
fat. Continuing this diet for forty eight
hours will result in the coloring of the
entire yolk. As these experiments have
proved so instructive and interesting,
they are to b. continued throughout the
present seas ~. when the results viii be

would rather have such a fellow Us Nh.
Fernwalt i n his debt, this being consid-
cred as evidence that his feelings tow
ard his late employee were u%nfriendly.
On a recent day Mr.. Fernwalt walked
past the Burling laundry. Mr.. Stephens
stood in front with an umbrella in his
hand.
''There goes that onery fellow, Fern
walt, was Mr., Stephens's audible and
offensive observation.
"Now, Mr.. Stephens" said MI. Fern
walt, turning back i'll a kindly spirit,
you are an old mar and you ought not
to tempt me to hit you"
"Hit away and be blamed to YOU"
shouted Stephens; ''but watch me hit
first j.; and he whaled away with his
umbrella, striking MI. Fernwalt's head.
The younger man rushed in and was
promptly settling things when Mr..
Stephens drew q handful of bills
from his pocket and cried aloud: 'sI1l
give $50 to the man who'll lick this
fellow"
I'm your baby" promptly shouted a
burly gas-house man, stepping forward.
"Give me the price"
Mr.. Fernwalt paused in establishment,
scarcely crediting his senses as MI.
Stephens excitedly counted out five $40
bills and put them up i'll the hands of
the saloon man next door.
Thereupon Mr.. Fernwalt was foored,
thumped, basted, and kicked; thrown
first into the gutter and then against
the 1 of the house, and hammered all
over the sidewalk, until the laundryman
called ''time and said he was satisfied.
The $50 was collected by the slugger,
Mr.. Stephens vanished within his laun-

a doctor and then to Justice K~ersten,
who gave him a warrant for Mr..
Stephens.

struck you ?" asked the court.
"No, it wasn't his fault. I'm after

designations.

Very Fast Time.

At Coney Island n horse named Badge
ran a mile in n minute and forty Sec
onds, carrying n weight of 115 pounds,
which is considered by judges of racing
as equal to any time ever made for q
mile on a race-track. The best record
for the distance is 1882, made by Ten
Brock in 1877, but lie carried only Ito
| pounds, and, as the old saying is, "It is
weight that tells" Badges mile in LAC
with lis pounds, is probably a faster
mile in reality than Ten Broeck's 1885,,
with only ITO pounds.
1t is very we'll understood nowadays
that such stories as the one of Eclipse

and under no conditions have there evel
been horses which could run as fast al
the race horses of the present day IL

legendary tales are like the horse stories
