CURRENT AFFAIRS,
THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
a Fight with wildcats.

DIR. S. A. Collins, Hamburg, Conn.
physician, had a terrible encounter with n
wildcat or lynx few nights ago. He was
driving through a lonely wooded section
when two wildcats sprang from the boughs
of a hemlOck tree under which the carriage
passed. One of the animals landed on the
launches of the horse, the other dropped
into the bottom of the carriage and fast
ened its teeth in the flesh of the doctors
leg. The terrified horse ran away and soon
freed itself from the carriage The ami
NAL that attacked the doctor strove to set
its claws and teeth into his face and throat.
This the doctor prevented, but his arms
and chest were terribly lacerated, and he
soon grew weak from loss of blood. In an
inside pocket of his coat he carried small
medicine case. In the struggle this fell
out and attracted the attention of the wild
cat, which began to claw and tear it. The
doctor attempted to draw his revolver, but
before he could do so he tainted He was
discovered still unconsc ious, by farmer
returning along the road. In the bottom
of the carriage, among lot of broken bot
ties, lay the wildcat in deep stupor. In
tearing the medicine case it had broken a
bottle of chloroform, and the contents had
stupefed him. 1t weighed - pounds, be-
ing the largest of its kind ever killed in
that section.

which arrived at New York on Wednes-
day, having made the trip from Queens
town IN i've days, 16 hours and 81 minutes
This beats by about two hours the time
made by the Majestic of the same line two
weeks ago. A feature of the trip was that
on three days runs of over 800 miles were
made. The best previous run, 515 miles by
the City of Paris, was beaten, 517 miles be-
ing made.
The grip in Alaska seems to have made
worse ravages among the natives than the
small poX did several years ago. Whole
tribes are said to have been almost wiped
out, and the fatalistic survivors cannot be
induced to lay in supplies for the coming
winter. The epidemic was especially fatal
as the inhabitants last year passed through
an unusually cold and changeable season,
which interfered greatly with hunting and
fishing. 1t is consoling to know that
wherever there are whites the Indians have
been well provided for but the outlook for
those in the interior is dscouragng.
Mr.. Edison is said to be now at work on
motor for Henry Willard, for use on
regular railroad, which he expects to far
excel anything of the kind before construct
ed. 1t will develop at least 1000 horse
power, making it as powerful as locomo-
tives now in use. 1t is to take up its cleo
tricity from the central rail. In point of
economy it is expected to work great rev
olution the estimate being that it can be
run at One-siXth the cost of coal When
Edison gets these motors under way the
10000 men and women who now get en-
ployment from the manufacture and sale
of his inventions will be increased to three
times that number.

Perhaps the most beautiful, singular and
characteristic bird in Australia is the Tyre
bird. 1t receives its name from its ex-
qusitely marked tail feathers, which, when
erected like the train of a peacock, exactly
resemble in form the instrument dear to
Apollo. The cOlors of the Tyre bird are
not brilliant, being simply dark gray,
brown, russell and white, but his shape is
most elegant and his tail one of the most
original and graceful cOnceits in which
nature has ever INDUCED herself. The
Tyre bird is an almost impossible bird to
shoot He inhabts the thickest part of
the scrub, and whenever he finds it neces-
sary to cross an open space, does so with a
rush which permits the gunner to see only
a streak of gray light, which vanishes in
the bush again, while the shot tears up
the earth at the spot where he seemed to
be, but was not.
A curious illustration of the domestic
economy of the Egyptians has been met with
in the unwinding of the bandages of the
mummies. Although whole webs of fine
cloth have been most frequently used, in
other cases the bandages are fragmentary,
and have seams, darns and patches. Old
napkins are used, old skirts, pieces of some
thing that may have been a shirt, and once
a piece of cloth was found with an armhole
in it, with seam and gusset and band finely
stitched by fingers themselves long since
crumbled and their dust blown to the four
winds.

one night last week when she was return

She had waited at South RoyaltOn for the
evening train expecting to meet a friend,
and it was late when she reached the "Need-

money but she gave him the heavy end of

fellow and as he fell back from the wheel
she drove quickly away.

Curiosltie. Unenrthed in Vermont.

The Rutland division of the Central
Vermont railroad crosses the mountains at
Mount Holly, Summit station being l440
feet above the sea. Near that station when
the railroad was building the tusks of a
large elephant were dug up, and they are
preserved today in the Vermont state cap

feet in length. which was discovered in
1S49 in the town of Charlotte, while some
excavations were being made. This was

Lunenburg people are excited over a sus-

bridge keeper saw two men enter the
bridge at midnight with team from which
they took large box, dropped it into the
river and disappeared. The box was
weighted and sank in II feet of water.
The supposition is that the box contained
a corpse, but the Lunenburg people have
not removed the box, as the river is in

HOMEMADE CHEESE.
Whatever May BE Said Against 1t, 1t
Pays to Make 1t.

Pays to Make 1t.
1t is not popular to advocate private
dairy work to-day, but the making of
cheese at home is not yet relegated to
the past and there are those who are
willing to engage in any honorable
labor that will pay. In some house
holds it is still profitable and there is
no reason why it should not be fol-
lowed where there is plenty of help in
the house. would not propose busi-
ness that will overburden the house
hold. | am dealing with a matter
which concerns the rank and file of
country people. Those who can attend
to its demands will find private cheese
making profitable. Happily in this
work the men and boys can lend use
full hand and relieve the women from
the heavy work
Milk is never SO perfect as when first
drawn from the COW and never so well
again adapted to cheese making. The
sooner it is curded the more and better
cheese it will make. There is no diff
Guilty in grasping the fat of the milk
and transferring it to the richness of
the cheese if the work is begun as soon
as the milk is drawn. Eight pounds of
milk will average 1 pound of domestic
green cheese through the season. In
my dairy pounds from spring fresh
cows have given l pound of cheese,
while from fresh cows fed on hay in
March So to 9 pounds are required
Computing the value of milk per hun
dred weight in this work as in the as
ISOLATED system we get from 100 pounds
of milk II pounds of early cheese
ready for market, an average for the
season of II pounds and in Septem Der
49, pounds For the first named early
cheese at II cents, S1.54, from the IL
pounds average at II cents, Sl.44 and
for the 1875 pounds of September or
October cheese at II cents, S1.62. So
the return per 100 pounds runs from
! S1.44 to S1.62, much better price than
i is obtained by many who ship their
| milk for peddling.
1t is difficult to compute the cost OF
