DIsISFECrISG BAGGAGE.-Travellers VINO
are coming back from Europe with trunks
full of beautiful things collected in their
wandcrings abroad are having hard time ut
the New York quarantine. Cabin passengers
are no more exempt from the strict qdaran-
tine regulations which now prevail than the
humblest immigrants, and every one, with all
of his or her belongings, must undergo the
oyerhauling and fumgating process prescribed
by the health officers if they have even passed
through any of the infected districts OF Eu-
rope within ten days previous to sailing. EX,
pcnsivc laces. silk dresses, Paris bonnetS and
delicate biiouterric and bric-a-brac OF all
kinds must be put through the steam sweat
ing and sulphur burning operation, and tears
and cntrcatics are ofno avail with DR.. jenkins
and his assistants who are moved by stern
sense of duty TO resist every inducement to
let up in their warfare of determination
against the fatal cholera germ. Care is taken,
however to do rs little injury rs possible to
such articles. although all must be thoroughly
fumigatcd. and things that will not stand 4

vapors are carefully washed with solution of

many. who regard the attention of the health
officials with indignant feelings, and extreme
bitterness of spirit.

REPORT on TIE STANDARD Book OF
COMMON PRAYER.-The report of the
Joint committee appointed by the last
General Convention 10 prepare q
Standard Book of Common Prayer has
been prinecd by the munifcence of a
gentleman whose name is not given to
the public. 1t is really splendid spe-
cimen of typography. But the report
itself is beyond any ordinary praise. 1t
is the result of long labor the labor OF
experts. The introduction gives an ac-
count of the methods adopted by the
committee This is followed by a tho
roughly excellent, and indeed exhaust
i've. photography of the versions of
Bibles (Hebrew Greek and English) en-
ployed and of Books OF Common Pray
er, American, English, Irish, Scottish
with other books necessary for the
committees work. Then comes Il most
carefully compiled History of Standard
Prayer Books q note on punctuation
correction from the Standard of lS7ls;
passages from Holy Scripture; that is to
say, a most careful and detailed COM
parison of the Epistles, Gospels, etc.
with standard editions of the author
lied version of the Bible the Psalter ;
the Creeds the rest Of the prayer
book. Then follows a list of changes
finally adopted in 1856 and 1889. An
appendix is added, by the Rev. Fred
erick Gibson, NJ. A., of Baltimore, of
various readings in the English Psalter.
Nothing but such careful reading as we
have given to this admirable report
could convey any adequate idea Of its
wonderful interest and extreme value.
1t is thoroughly scholarly produc-
tion.
The utmost care, down to every jot
and title, has been taken, to produce y
perfect result The church, to say moth
ing of the committee, may well be con-
graduated ON this truly superb report.

RoQUEFoRT AND ITS CHEESE
Cheese, which has been the fortune of
Roquefort, has destroyed its pictur-
esqucness. Il has brought spectators
there who have raised great ugly,
square buildings of dazzling whiteness
in harsh contrast with the character
and sombre tone of the old houses.
What is the most curious i'll the place
is the cellars. They have been cXca-
waited to such depth in the rock that
they are to be seen in as many as five
stages, where long rows of cheeses are
stacked one over the other. The vir-
tue of these cellars from cheese-mak-
ing point of view is their dryness and
their scarcely-varying temperature of
about eight degrees centigrade summer
and winter.
But the demand for Roquefort cheese
has become so great that trickery now
plays a part in the ripening process.
The peasants have learned that time
is money and they have found that
bread crumbs mixed with the curd
cause those desirable green streaks OF
moldiness.
The notion that brass pins are stuck
into Roquefort cheese to make it turn
green is founded on fiction.-Tempte
Bar.

Railroad Boom.

Tom Allison returned today from an assessing trip down the river. He went through the San Pedro valley north to the line of Pinal and has a pretty good idea of how the country looks. He says that cattle have suffered considerably but that crops and orchards look most prospero us. Never before has the river been so we'll filled with water ss at present. The people are all enthusiastic over the contemplated road from Phenix to Benson. They will welcome the pro moters with all the assistance in their power to give. Many farmers are making arrangements to fence and bring more land under cultivation with prospect of moving their pro- duce to a market.
 Mining men also feel encouraged and the tens of thousands of tons of ore which are ready to be moved when a railroad shall have tapped that country, creates a renewed faith in the near approach of good times all along the line from Benson north ward.

 In the matter of curatives what you want is something that will do its work while you continue to do yours "A remedy that will give you no in convenience nor interfere with your business. Such a remedy is ALLcoCK's POROUS PLAsTERs. These plasters are not an experiment, they have been in use for over thirty years, and their value has been attested by the highest medical authorities, as well as by voluntary testimonials from those who have used them.
 ALLcocK's POROUS PLAsTERs are purely vegetable and absolutely harm less. They require no change of diet and are not affected by wet or cold Their action does not interfere with labor or business; you can toll and yet be cured while hard at work. They are SO pure that the youngest, the oldest, the most delicate person of either sex can use them with great benefit.

The great drives of cattle to Demipg for shipment to Kansas pastures takes just so much money out of Cochise county which ought to be left here. Wilcox is the natural shipping point for these cattle, and every effort should be made to get a rate fixed from Willcox to Deming tbat would induce cattlemen to ship at that point. The present rate from Wilcox to Deming is S1 per head and the cattle shippers maintain that by load ing at Deming they can save S5c per head, which on a thousand head is quite neat sum. They claim tbst the drive to Deming costs them l5c more for each hoof than the drive to Wilcox.
