visible world is but one Of seven planes,
the others being, like the ether OF sci
ence, invisible to our eyesight. Each
other plane has it's appropriate forces
and laws, and as men develop into con-
seriousness and knowledge OF those
planes. they become acquainted with
and master them, as they have done the
coarsar one of earth. Pure and unset
fish lives, combined with specialized
training, alone conduce to such attain
ment.,. The masters, adopts, ma
hatmas," have thus attained, ana occa-
sonal incidents show how vast IS thelr
control of these finer forces IN nature.

HOW CHEESE IS MADE.
Facts Which Are Not Widely Known

as They Should Be.
The first stage in the making OF
cheese is that by which the curd is
separated from the whey, says Har-
per's Young People. This is done by
heating the milk to given tempera-
ture, varying according to the season,
and afterward adding certain pro-
portion of rennet. When the cheese
is to be colored the dyeing matter is
put in before the rennet. In less
than half an hour after the heat has
been applied the coagulation has so
far progressed that the curd, from
which the whey has been drawn, is
ready to cut
Almost the only instrument used
in the making of cheese is the curd-
knife, curious-looking arrangement
something like a double comb with
long teeth. The immature cheese is
both cut and stirred with this, the
curd being separated into small bits,
none of them being larger than am
ordinary walnut. The stirring and
heating must go on until the curd has
reached a proper stage of what is
called digestion" 1T is then torn
into narrow strips like ribbons, for
the curd by this time lis as firm in
fiber as the breast Of a roasted
chicken and indeed looks. like At.
These strips are then fed into the
sailing mill, where they are thor
oughly mixed with salt and made
ready for the cheese-press.. Enormous
pressure is applied in this cheese
press in order that all the whey that.
by any possibility remains may: be-
squeezed out ,:.;':s

export of ostrich feathers amounts to
S., 900, 900 per annum. Hunting the
birds has ceased entirely, for they
threatened to become extinct in some
localities, and a rational breeding is
by far the most remuneratiye pro-
ceeding. The value of the feathers
varies with their quality. During
the second year of his existence "a
male bird furnished $3.50, 900 worth
of tHrst-quality plumes and about
$4,000 worth of second grade.
An ostrich farm yields from 30 to so
per cent. on it's original investment,
and in prosperous times as high as
100 per cent, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The rational breed
ing of the ostrich is of vast impor-
tance to Cape Colony. Years ago
birds were exported to Australia with
such fayorable result that the gov
ernment of the Cape imposed tax
of $500 per bird and S25 for every
unmatched egg for expectation tariff,
in order to protect it's own industry.
This killed the export entirely.
In the year 1875 the number of
tame ostriches in the Cape reached
the astounding sum OF. $4,000, al
though the breeding Of .ostriches was
not commenced until 1858. To-day
that number has more than doubled
itself, for in the meantime the. incu-
bators have been largely Improved.
During the laying season, which
comes with the end of the rainy period,
the ostrich hen lays one egg every
other day until she has deposited
from fifteen to twenty eggs in the
sand-pile nest, quantity just large
enough to cover the same with her
body when Matching. By gradually
taking away one egg after another, as
we do with our hens, the big bird can

escape. The artificial hatchings are
always preferred to the natural ones.
1t happens that just during the
breeding time the ostriches have the
most beautiful plumage, which suf-
fers greatly from the Matching process
and sQuatting in the sand and dust.
At the time when ostriches became
priced very highly and artificial incu-
bators were proporti0nately rare the
surplus ostrich eggs were Matched by

skeleton outline of his plot. This is
entirely completed before the novelist
attempts to get down to the solid
work of writing the story. In this
way it is seen that he, had his work
entirely mapped out, and knew just
exactly what he was going to do with
each character.
Dickens wrote a peculiar hand, the
lines very close together and the let
tiers very small, with frequent marks
of change and erasure, showing the.
utmost care in the preparation OF the
work. In places whole lines have
been scored out to be replaced by an.
other choice of words or a different

are covered with a fine, speckled

Hottentot women in large feather
beds, an occupation which was much
to the liking of these DANES, so prone
to a dolce far niente" of such pro-
longed period.
The. raising of the young ostriches
requires great care and patience and
a large percentage of them die an
nually from diseases and other acct
dents. The ostrich is full grown
when years of age. 1t is then that
the male bird has the most beautiful
plumage of black, satiny ssheen.
The female birds feathers are light
gray. The most valuable. plumes
hang in a delicate fringe all around
the body of the bird. When the bird
is 8 months old it's feathers are
plucked for the first time. At that
time they are still stiff and narrow,
with pointed tips, and do not give
any idea of the beauty of the later
crops. During the second year they
become much more likely, although
still narrow and pointed. But at the
third plucking they are soft and
broad, as they should be.
On the large breeding farms. men
mounted on horses drive the birds
together for the picking, for the
ostriches are apt to stray far away
from home. They are driven in de-
tachments, first into large fold and
from this into very small pen, the
so-called picking-pen. In this latter
the birds are so densely packed to-
gether that the dangerous individuals
have no room. for kicking, for the
ostrich has power enough in his long
legs to deal mortal blows with them.
MILES STANDISH'S GRAVE.
1t Is Said to Be Located in Duxbury
Churchyard.
Nathaniel Morton, secretary of
Plymouth Colony, is authority for the
statement that Standish was buried
in Duxbury, which accords with
Standish's will, in which he asked to
be buried near his daughter and
daughter-in-law eff he died in DuX-
burroW"
Traditions of half dozen families
of the town, handed down from sire
to son, locate the grave in the old
churchyard between Halls and Bay
ley's Corners, and this graveyard, in
one corner of which stood the first
church in Duxbury, is the only one
mentioned in the early records.
These traditions were to the effect,
furthermore, that two triangular
stones marked the spot where Stand
ish was buried.
,In~1 1889 stones answering their de-
scription were brought to light, and
in April, 1891, duly authorized per-
sons opened the supposed graves of
the Standish family and examined
the remains found therein.
Two Of the skeletons were those of
young women, two were boys, and one
was that of man, corresponding
with the generally accepted physique
of Standish, indicating very unusual
strength and evidently that of per-
son well along in years
From all the facts known the
speaker, who was one of those pres
.ent at the elimination, deduced the
inference that these were the graves
of Standish, his two daughters. e.,
his daughter and daughter-in-law-
and two sons named Charles and
John, who died young.
The remains, said Mr.. Hinginn,
were carefully placed in new Baskets
and reburied in the old graveyard.
