An Ontario cheese factor, who has
been in England recently, gives the fol-
lowing advice:
Dealing first with the color Of cheese,
he says the larger part of the June and
July make is consumed in the Scotch
and north Of England markets, where
the color required is straw to deep straw
For this he suggests I 4 ounces of an
MOTTO per 1000 pounds Of milk. Cana
dian fall made cheeses are largely con
sumed III the Liverpool and London
districts, which take about half white
and half colored, and in the west Of
England, where no colored is used. The
larger part of the fall make, it is there
fore recommended, should be made
white, the remainder being d little
higher in color than mentioned above
say quarter ounce more annotto to
the 1000 pounds. White cheeses have
brought from one to two shillings per
hundredweigbt more than colored dur
ing the winter, and further objection
to the making Of too many highly col
ored cheeses is that they are liable to fade
and become irregular in color, so caus-
ing deterioration in value
Many boxes do not fit the cheese
closely, and almost all are made Of too
light timber. Cracked surfaces are also
detrimental to the value Of the cheese.
and the use Of cloths is advised IN July
and August, and even later, and follow

lis it man in fit?n
High above the ceaseless rumble and
roar of traffic rose human voices in anx-
lous inquiry, and the dense throng at the
intersection of State and Madison streets
grew denser still. 1t was just before
sunset, and the mighty heart of Chi
cago's business center throbbed with the
feverish energy that marked the closing
hours Of another day of toll, and the
hurrying homeward of restless, eager
thousands. The swiftly moving streams
of humanity that are won't to meet in
eddying whirls in this dizzy vortex and
then diyerge and move onward again,
each In its destined course, had sudden
ly become blocked and chaos reigned.
Pushed toward the common center by
the ever hurrying throngs afoot. in car
riages and in street cars, and unable to
extricate themselves, men, women and
children gasped for breath, and the
crowd in the streets and on the side
walks overfowed into alleys and surged
hither and yon like the resistless ebb
and flow of a mighty sea.
A policeman on the outskirts of the
dense throng climbed lanppost, and
from his elevated position surveyed the
scene.
"Give him air, he shouted sternly,
waving his club. s.Give him ARR
sWhat's the natter. inquired hun
dred voices as he climbed down.
II don't know" he answered, and with
gloomy, lowering brow he strutted up
the street, disappeared down short
fight of stairs, from which a few mo-
ments later he emerged, wiping his
mouth, and in the same stern, uncoin-
promising way he walked a block fsr-
ther and sent in fire alarm.
Meanwhile the surging multitude at
State and Madison grew every moment
more appalling and inextricable.
Something must be done.
Fiercely elbowing his way through
the crowd, newspaper reporter at last
was seen bearing down toward the CEN
ter of the compact mass. His hat was
off, his hair flying in the wind, and his
face was deathly pale, but with set teeth
and dilated nostrils he tore his way
along, thrusting to the right and left
every one who opposed his progress.
Reaching the center of the throns he
seized two individuals by their arms, aud
in the same resolute, fearless way opened
passage for them to the outside, and,
as if by magic, the vast concourse dis
solved; the converging streams of hu-
manity whirled and eddied as before,
and the business heart of the great city
throbbed again
The reporter had conjectured rightly.
The blockade was caused by two women
who had met in the exact center of the
street and stopped to tell each other the
troubles they were having with their
hired girls.-Chicago Tribune.

A fresh memorial 10 yanisbed vou,h.

A fresh memorial to vanished youth.
The sweet girl graduate, with flower face;
Her eyes so full Of trust. her heart Of truth,
Looking DER all the world to find her place
Her theme holds weighty words and thoughts
so staid.
A travesty on life in phrase austcre;
But youthful confidence is unafraid
And gladness yibrates in the tones so clear,
Beyond the Alps lies Ttalyl''
The Joy Of triumph and Of proud applause.
Sweet floral offerings, the music's stir.
Fair, sunny slope of youth Oh let US pause
And linger in this girlhood's glade with her.
Ere yet she climbs those rugged sleeps OF life.
Where womanhood with all its mystery lies
Remember ere You go to meet its strife,
Oh. maiden innocent, grown strangely wise,
Beyond the Alps lies Italy!"
The essay soon viii yellow grow with time;
The years viii string their rosary of tears;
Weary and fcotsore, we the hills must climb,
And stumble o'er the stones of cares and
fears.
The mists Of doubt win all the landscape veil,
The summit lies so very far away;
The feet may falter and the courage fail,
The stern pale lips will quiyer then to say,
beyond the Alps lies ltalyH
Oh, when the hands that helped you up the
slope
onali loose the Grasp we cannot always Keep,
When in the night OF pain you upward grope-
Blinded by tears. with tagging footsteps
creep;
Then let your girlhood's maxim cheer your
heart
A peal of joy through all lifes sad refrain
Though here we love and lose, and meat and
part,
There is height where pleasure conquers
pain

1t is said that once, before the English
had become used to the maneuvers of
the robbers in India. an officer with a
party of horse was chasing a small body
of Bheel robbers and was fast overtak
ing them. Suddenly the robbers ran be-
hind a rock, or some such obstacle. which
hid them for moment, and when the
soldiers came up the men had mysteri-
ously disappeared. After an unavailing
search, the officer ordered his men to
dismount beside clump of scorched
and withered trees, and, the day being
very hot, he took off his helmet and hung
it on branch by which he was standing.
The branch in question turned ont to
be the leg Of Bheel, who burst into a
scream of laughter and flung the aston
ished officer to the ground. The clump
Of scorched trees suddenly became trans
formed into men, and the whole party
dispersed in different directions before
the Englishmen could recover from
their surprise, carrying with them the
officers helmet by way of trophy. .-Har

tacturer, though hi, materials. by tariff
taxation, arc so much higher than the
foreign clothing manufacturer has to pay
that the protection by tho tariff on
clothing is quite neutralized. In other
Industries where tariff protection is
equally ineffective similar showings eau
DO made. In clothing, the least pro.
tected article, the iucrcas, is high est:
as per cent. in product, 1875 per cent. in
wages aud $50 per cent. in the number
of hands. Women's clothing has risen
in the product from four aud a half
millions to over twenty millions. The
new census will show a heavier increase
yet. These items suffice to show the
damning evidence of facts ignored by
MIR. Peck. Having pointed them out
will now rsturn to the facts adduccd by
him to support his theory.
The increase in products is set dowa
as S31 100000 The increase from 1870
to 1880 was $500, 900, 900. Considering
the price iLhations of all commodities,
as compared with 1880, and the decline
in such Important industries noted above,
the increase of 1880 over 1870 shows for
New York fully $500, 900. 900, or 66s
per cent. On the. same basis of progress
sion the Sl,0S0, 900. 900 of 1880 ought
to have grown to $3.50, 900, 900 iu
1890. The years of the eud of the de-
csdc, however, must show the greatest
ratio Of increase, partly on account of the
increase of % per cent. in the population
of the State and partly on account of the
general trade activity ruling in 1889,
1880 and 1891 against the great stagna-
ton ruling aud spreading in intensity
from 1883 to 1887. The ratio oil in.
crease ought from these considerations to
be nearer hundred millions than seventy
millions, which would be the average of
the decade. II Mr.. Peck is not able to
show more than thirty-onc millions OF
increase he and his theory stand con.
dcmned by his own figures.

IN the sailor hat. One has brim much
narrower than has taken the preference
throughout the summer, with a manly
bow of black ribbon tied round its well

crown considerably larger at the top
than at the base. 1t Is made in every

with a wide bow of ribbon, striped in

'cidedly oval shape is particularly pretty

Reed on "Extrayagance. "

Ex-Cnar Reed is something of n
humorist in his way aud he has seldom
been more humorous than he is now in
accusing the Democratic House of "eS
travagance," because with Republican
: Senate aud Republican President
against it it could not repeal the sugar
bounty act, the steamship subsidy acs
and such like acts passed by the Reed
Congress, with the deliberate intention
of increasing the expenditures of tho
Government and making the increase
permanent.
The Reed Congress and the Harrison
administration have run the annual cx-
pense for pensions alone up to $IiO,-
600, 900, SO that with this and $40, 600,
600 year for sugar bountics VIC have a
permanent expense of $50, 900, OOG a
year altogether aside from what arc
properly the ordinary expenses OF gov
ornmcnt.
underth Disability Pension bill and
other pension ACES now in operation tho
annual expense for pensions will increase
for some years to come. 1t will reach at
least $3.50, 600, 600 year, and the only
chance the country has of getting rid OF
1t IS by OUTLYING the pensioners. The
sugar bounty will be repealed as soon as
| the Democrats elect President and Il
majority Of the Senate. Until then 1t re.

imposed on the country by the most
scandalous Congress the country ever

With Democratic Senate these per

1t is incorrectly called by that name.
Its food consists OF various kinds of
fishes, reptiles, ETC., and the quantity
they consume Is enormous. The
darters generally make their homes
In the branches Of trees that project
over and dip into the water. They
are excellent swimmers, and sink
beneath the water, with the excep-
ton OF the head and neck, on the
approach Of an enemy. When fish
is secured the bird comes to the sur
face Of the water, throws its prey
into the air and swallows it whole,
head first. They are rapid on the
wing, and they run or walk very fast.
As divers they are unsurpassed by
fresh water birds. When asleep
they stand with the body nearly
erect and the head under the scapu-
las. In the adult bird the color is of
a deep green. They attain their full
plumage in their first year and retain
