A Relic of Druid Times.

History books confidently assert that the
Druids have long ceased to exist in Eng
land, Doubt is thrown on this assertion by
a quaint custom held in the stormy dawn
of recent morning around the remnants
of British tumulus which exists at
Knightlow, in Warwickshire, where the
Duke of Buccleuch, as Lord Of the Hun
dred, cXacted payment of certain tributes
which date from the misty times of our
Drudical ancestors. The duke did not
himself appear in the character of Druid
to collect the dues, but was represented by
his agent. Payment is made by twenty
eight parishes of the old Hundred of
KnightloW, the tax being called "Wroth
silver"
What it was instituted for nobody
knows AMI nobody exactly knows why it
e maintained. 1t only produces about
nine shillngs, but if any parish neglects to
pay, the duke has the right to exact from
it white bull with red nose and ears.
The representatives Of the different par.
ishcs must assemble at the tumulus on
Nov. II, march thrice round a hollow stone,
saying THE Wroth money" and deposit
the tribute in the cavity, from which the
dukes representative gathers it up. \

might explain the meaning of the name by
saying that the parishes were ''wroth" at
having to pay it; but this etymology is at

Cheese Making.

The first stage in the making of cheese is
that by which the curd is separated from
the whey. This is done by heating the
milk to a given temperature. varying ac-
Cording to the season, and afterward adj
ding certain proportion of rennet. When
the cheese iS to be colored, the dyeing mat
ter is put in before the rennet. In less
than half ar hour after the heat has been
applied the coagulation has so far pro.
gressed that the curd, from which the
whey has been drawn, is ready to be cut.
Almost the only instrument used in the
making Of cheese is the curd knife, a curl
Gus looking arrangement something like a
double comb with long teeth. The imma-
ture cheese is both cut and stirred with
this, the curd being separated into small
bits, none of them being larger than an or.
binary 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 rib
bons, for the curd by this time is as firm
in fiber as the breast of a roasted chicken,
and, indeed looks like it, These strips are
then fed into the sailing mill, where they
are thoroughly mixed with salt and made
ready for the cheese press. Enormous
pressure is applied in this cheese press in
order that ali the whey that by any posi-
bility remains may be squeezed out.
From the press the cheese is taken to the
drying room, large, airy chamber, where
it is left for days, months or even years,
according to the quality desired. It is fire.
quently turned and much care is expended
on it, All cheese must go through the
same stages, the different varieties being
made by certain combinations of cream,

Some people, though not born humor-

tain circumstances. 1t was at the horse
show that many people were pouring
through the entrance and a crowd had
blocked the space within the building
proper The hunters were performing and
one horse who was acting unusually badly
attracted the attention of the people who
were entering the building so that they
did not begin to look for their seats, but
stood where they were to see what the out
come of the struggle between horse and
rider would be. The odds seemed greatly
in favor Of the hunter until the rider, who
probably knew very well with what mate
rial he had to deal, cut his steed a half
dozen blows which were so keen and rapid
in succession that the strokes cracked
sharply all over the garden and startled
every one.
A that moment from the crowd within
the entrance came roar Of Indignation

he mill goes toillng slowly around.

The mill goes toiling slowly around,
With steady and solemn creak,
And my little one hears in the kindly sound
The voice Of the old mill speak;
While round and round those big white wings
Grimly and ghOstlike creep,
My little one hears that the old mill sings,
''Sleep, little tulip, sleep"
The sails are reefed and the nets are drawn
And, over bis pot Of beer,
The fisher, against the morrow's dawn,
Justify maketh cheer;
He mocks at the winds that caper along
From the far off camorous deep,
But we, we love their lullaby song
OF "Slecp, little tulip, SLEEPY
Shaggy old Fritz in slumber sound,
Means of the stony mart,
Tomorrow how proudly he'll trot you around
Hitched to our new milk cartl
And you shall help me blanket the kline,
And fold the gentle sheep,
And set the herring a-soak in brine;
But now, little tulip, sleepl

While the old mill buffets the frowning skies
And scolds at the stars that wink;

The Bogus Coffee Bean.

One of the most ingenious articles used
to adulterate coffee is an artificial coffee
bean manufactured by machine invented
by Connecticut Yankee This bean is of
the exact Size and shape and color of an
ordinary coffee bean, and is made out of a
sort of paste resembling macaroni. 1t is
of course harmless as an article of food.
1t can be made for p few cents pound,
say about the price of the best -four. There
is no flavor of coffee to it. Every pound of
it used really depreciates the value of the
coffee, and profits the dishonest dealer just
the difference between the price of the paste
and the price of coffee.
This adulterant, however, is almost en-
tirely used in roasted coffee. The genuine
coffee bean has Il peculiar hardness and
surface that are well known to experts, and
there is really no attempt to adulterate
coffee as sold in the green bean. But when
the manufactured bean is roasted with the
real bean and imbbes its aroma while tax
ing on the same color, it is difficult for ex-
perts to detect it, and the general public
without expert knowledge is utterly up-
able to distinguish the counterfeit-Ne

On the bank of the Kaw river, about two
miles above Lawrence, Kan, is a IA, ii on
which is probably the most unique bust
ness in the west.
The English sparrow has always been
looked upon as an outlaw among birds and
a pest to man, but j. d Norton has an eye
to business, and thought there was money
in the little birds if they were properly
handled.
He got as many as he could collect and
took them to his place, where he had ar
ranged houses and corners for them to
build their nests and propagate. All
along the river there grows a tall weed
which bears a seed especially liked by the
birds, and the sparrows soon found it out
and made their home contentedly on the
farm.
This was four years ago and the little
fellows have multiplied in marvellous
manner.
Mr.. Norton is now reaping the benefit Of
his foresight, and is supplying the market
with birds at good round prices. They are
sold as sparrows at all seasons, but when
they reach the tables of the first class ho
tells and restaurants in Kansas City, St
Louis and Chicago they become reedbirds
and ricebirds, according to the season.
The birds have accumulated by the thou
sands, and now the whole country is alive
with them.
Mr.. Norton has the business down to a
system and does not flood the market with
them, but sells just enough to keep the ho
tells scantily supplied, and thus keeps the
price up. The birds multiply so rapidly
that there is no danger of their being de
ropulated. Cor. Boston Globe.

MILKING THE ENGLISH,

FAKE" Claim Agents for the Edwards
Estate Getting Fat, Probably.
LONDON, Jan. Claim agents are
actively advertising an alleged immense
estate in America as going begging for
heirs. Certain newspapers, it would
seem, have evidently been subsidized to
dilate upon the fortune which awaits
those who can prove their claims to the
property. The story is that m3n
named Edwards leased plot of ground
in what is now New York city about
one hundred years ago. BY the expira-
ton of the term of the lease the prop
erty, which is now fabulously valuable,
reyerts to the heirs of said Edwards,
who, singularly, seem TO have lost all
track of their rich inheritance and o
not come forward to take possession.
The ground referred to is said to com
prise forty acres in the center of the
American metropolis.
As the result of the ingenious eXploita
ton of this story, hundreds of people
named Edwards or descended from people
of that name, or distinctly related to
somebody named Edwards, are besieging
the American legation for parts of the
bonanza. 30 numerous nave tlleSe Cull-
ers become that the clerks have not
spare time to attend them individually
and it is necessary to nave circular
printed, which is handed out without
comment to every conner. This docu-
ment read as follows:

wards estate. American legations are not
