Breadcrumbs In noquefort cheese.

Tie demand for Roquefort cheese has become so great that trickery now plays pat in the ripening process. The peasants hayo learned that time is mon 7" and they have found that bread crun!rs mixed with the curd cause those green streaks of moldiness which de- note that the cheese is fit for the mar ket, to appear much more readily than was formerly the case, when it was left to do the best it could for itself with the aid of . subterranean atmosphere. This is not exactly cheating; it is com mercial enterprise, the result of com petition and other circumstances too strong for poor human nature. In cheesemaking breadcrumbs are found to be cheap substitute for time, and it is said that those who have taken to beer brewing in this region have found that box, which here is the commonest of shrubs, is a cheap substitute for hops. The notion that brass pins are stuck into Roquefort cheese to make it turn green is founded on fiction. -Temple Bar

DIggIng Isnrthwnrns.

A man tells how to get earthworms without digging for them. Take a strong stick four or five feet long and sharp at one end and goto some locality, such us the back of barn, where the worms are sure to be plentiful. Drive a stick four or five inches into the ground with a hammer or stone and then begin to twist it with rotary motion. Every few minutes hit the top rap to drive the point farther into the ground and keep on twisting In five minutes the worms win begin crawling out of their holes, and all you have to do is to pick them up and put them in your can. s.

Two days after leaving Port Said. Egypt, we had some very unsettled weather Looking southward ob- served what appeared to be a small black cloud rising and coming steadily toward our steamer When | looked again few minutes later, instead of seeing the cloud 1 saw some hundreds of swallows, They flew around our steamer several times, as though unde- cided whether to stay until the storm passed At last, just before dark, sev- eral of them alighted on the stayrim of eur main funnel, which was soon one bla,S mass of birds. The rain came down in torrents and it was pitiful to zee those frail creatures struggling with tho wind and rain.
 Those of them that could not find a roasting place soon commenced to fall on deck quite helpless. picked up all those that fell on the bridgedeck and lodged them in the chartroom Those birds that fell on the foredeck were sheltered in the forecastle by the crew The next day came in bright and clear, with light westerly breeze, and all the swallows took flight just at sunrise. fly ing in a ncrthwesterly direction The captive birds were soon set free, ahd they followed in the wake of the others may say that all the birds we had were able to fly except one, and it died during the day. Several dead ones were found on the decks at daylight These birds had beautiful plumage, and fancy they looked rather smaller than the swallows l have seen in England. The captive birds had golden brown feathers just above and below the beak, and white breast back, black feathers with a bluish tiuge; wings and tail brown, and four white spots across.

Took Big Chances for Twenty-Five Dollar,

4 Captain Blondell at Oxford, Ala, offered twenty-five dollars to any one who would get into a boat and allow it to be blown up with dynamite so that Blondell might show his lifesaving methods. A young man named Neely accepted the offer and was blown about forty feet into the air unhurt, but on his return to the waters surface he alighted on the fragments of the wreck and re- ceiyed fractured leg and other injuries.

 There are great many Uncle Zachs who judge everything simply by appea . ancea. The air brake does not seem to be Nsry powerful thing, but power and efficiency are not necessarily equivalent Co bigness and pretense.

Naturally the inaugural address of such a
man as Gov. Mckinley in such state as Ohio
excites widespread interest. Two Of the points
in the address can be touched here-his I'M
equivocal Endorsement of ballot reform and
his no less clear-cut opposition to the gerry
mander. As TO the former he desires that there
shall be such notifications as shall improve
the working of the law. one of which the gov
ernor thinks would be the marking of every
name on the ballot About this proposition
ballot reformers are not agreed The provision
seems TO call for higher exercise of thought
fulness on the part of the voter. 1t is not sur
prislng that so clever a mind as Gov. MeKin-
ley's should find in the guarded ballot the very
bulwark of freedom On the gerrymaRder his
convictions are equally clear aud stated, if
possible, with more positiyeness. lie advised

The story Of the two American seamen
Patrick Shields and Andrew Mekinstry. cor
roborates the narrative of the Baltimore sailors
concerning the general anti-Americaa condi-
ton Of the Chilean mind and adds new facts
peculiar to their own particular case. These
men were beaten, imprisoned and otherwise
horribly mistreated, without any Provoca-
ton on their part. by the Chilean
authorities. 1t appears that seamen in United
States war vessels and merchantmen cannot so
ashore in Valparaiso. or at least could not a few
months ago. without denying their country
and claiming to be EnglIshmen- The story
will cause the blood of every American worthy
the name to boil in his veins The apology for
such repeated acts of outrage and insult must be
ample and profound This government cannot
afford to compromise its honor and Chile must
be made to guarantee protection to such of
our citizens as may sojourn in that country
even if the whole army and navy and treasury
of the United States are required to cooperate
in making that protection complete. And the
final demand for satisfaction will not long be
delayed When The STAR stated some time
ago that high officials of the government, who
knew the American testimony concerning the
Chilean outrages, viewed war with Chile as
inevitable, unless prevented by an apology and
reparation from Chile. which we're not expected,
and when il furthe: stated that extensive war
preparations were under way to meet this
threatened emergency, many of its contempt
raries discredited its statements and one of the
peace-at-any-price newspapers published In
New York held up its hands in holy horror and
pronounced The STAR ''bloodthirsty." As
the character of the American case against
Chile gradually comes to be understood
by the public through the publication of the
full statements of the American sailors, and
when, in connection with this evidence, the in
solent and insulting communications from Chile
TO our government come to be read, it will at
once be perceived that no mistake was made by
the American officials who considered war in
evitable If the truth was learned by the Ameri-
can people. unaccompanied by an apology and
other conciliatory action on the part Of
Chile.

The proposition presented to the House by
Mr.. Dockery, by request, to have a congress
sional inquiry made into the Rock Creek Park
proceedings emanates presumably from some
owner not satisfied with the awards made by
the appraisers and is a part OF the obstructive
tactics adopted to prevent the contamination
Of q scheme which received the appreciation Of
. Congress that gave most careful considera-
ton to il. and the most earnest Endorsement of
nil who have the welfare of the Capital at heart.
The Rock Greek Park act, while providing for
the preservation to the people in the form of a
park Of the valley whose picturesque and rug
yed beauty forms one OF the most attractive
features Of the environs of the Capital, at the
ame time sought the accomplishment Of
an object Of equal if not Of greater
importance. AID that was the protection
of the city from the dangers that threatened in
case the region in question became thickly set
tied and Rock creek. now noted for its
beauty, became an open, disease-spreading
sewer. AID this result was clearly inevitable
n a few years unless the borders of tho stream
wero reserved from settlement, or the creek
arched over and converted into a covered
sewer, which would be more expensive than
the creation Of the park With such objects in
view II Is not strange that tHe parA PiOJeCt"as

The prices awarded 1t is one of the odd feat
ures of the case that in court objection is
made because the prices fixed are too small, and
in Congress the proceedings are questioned be-
cause, as is implied. the paid are too great.
Congress undoubtedly has a right to institute
IN inquiry at any time, but 1t hardly seems
courteous to the other branches Of the gov
eminent to begin such an inquiry before ;he
matter has been considered at all by the judi
.iary and the President, upon whom the act
places the responsibility of approving or dis
approving the awards made by the appraisers.
The unseemly haste to propose an investiga-
ton is another evidence that the proposition is
made in the interest of selfish obstruction.
