a MANN 9th Cheese Which Weighs TWEEN
t,-Two Thousand Pounds.
"The Canadian Mite" the largest
cheese es rer made in the world. has ar
rived at the exhibition grounds. 1t
forms part of the Canadian dairy pyra-
mid in the Agricultural building.
Formerly the Dominion imported
cheese fl ON the United States for
home cor sumption, and now the ex-
ports from Canada are said TO surpass
those from any other country. includ
ing The gre at American republic.
Thelmam moth cheese was made un-
der the direction of Prof Robertson,
the Dominion dairy commissioner, at
one of thesgovernment dairy stations
in OntauiaL Two hundred and seven
thousandstSvo hundred pounds of milk
were used in making it. That is
equal to tite milk for one day in Sep
TENDER. WHEN the cheese was made, of
10000 COWS, The cheese Itself weighs
1000 pounds, and measures twenty
eight feet in .circumference by six feet
in height.
The msmmpth ''mite" stands on a
Brobdignagiaii -truck. which has been
built out of canadian oak for trans
porting it through Great Britain
and Ireland after it leaves Chicago
The purchaser is Thomas j. Upton. a
retail dealer in tea and provisions in
the large cities ia Great Britain and
Ireland.
On the side Of the steel hoop which
encases the mznsnoth cheese are two
large knobs orr trrnions by which it is
hung when IL lis being turned upside
down. The Caahacian Pacific railway
ran special world fair cheese train
from Perth, Ont. 1t stopped at every

j. A. Ruddick, the. dairy expert of
the dairy commissioners staff, who
was in practical charge of'the making
of the cheese, came TO Chicago to see
that it was properly installed. Several

Crossing the river to the south. we

which Lee stretched his thin gray
line" in the Petersburg campaign and
held Grant at bay during thai terrible
winter. We run through the batteries,
now covered with scrub oak and pine,
and are soon at Petersburg. My first,
recollection OF it is rs it was in the
winter of 1868, when Il was in state
Of siege. remember my host was
major. and he lived in Il tent pitched
between two cedar trees. on 4 little
slope Just outside Of a gentleman's
ward. two or three miles from the town.
Other tents were scattered about in
clunps. and the horses were IN shell

gentleman | had visited before The
twenty-siX years which had elapsed

spot where his tent had stood between

to be; but tents which once covered

10 apply when il was finished to TIE
beuchers of the Temple, who would
give him suitable motto 10 place be-
meath the clock The man, when ms
work was completed, applied two or
three times. but was not successful IN
obtaining the wished-for information,
for the bencherS could not seem - make
up their minds or agree upon motto.
At last the persevering clock
maker came one evening when
han and the company were
about 10 sit down To table. He made
the request As before for "a suitable in
scription for the clock. but the bench
ers evidently did not like being dis
turbed at their banquet. and one 81
them called out cantankerou>ly: Go
about your business :" The man. how
ever. accepted this answer in another
way: and going back wrote beneath the
clock: Go about your business, and
then fixed it in the Temple hall The
next dav the benchers were very much
surprised 10 see the inscription but on
thinking IL over they came To the CON
clusion that more appropriate motto
could not have been found anywhere;
and SO for many years the Temple clock
