Acid Used to Wash Cheese RIMS.

In Cleveland. Ohio, a family has just
been poisoned by cheese. The cheese
was examined by a Food Inspector and
was found to contain the poisonous aka
loin tyrctoxicon that is often found in
milk. The Inspector also discovered
that the rind had been washed with a
composition of sulphate of copper and
arseRious acid. This, it was said, was
done by manufacturers to prevent cheese
mites from forming and to preserve the
cheese from mice and rats, and for that
reason the rind should neve be eaten.
Several prominent commission mer-
chants and cheese manufacturers in this
city were seen yesterday, and were asked
to what extent such composition was
used to wash cheese in this State and
vicinity.
Stephen Underhi1l said that he had
never heard of any such preparation be-
ing used in this State to wash cheese. A
member of the firm of John s. Martin
6 Company said that some kind of prep
Grafton was used in Chicago and other
cities out west to wash cheese and give
the rind a bright color, but he could not
tell what the preparation was. In this
State ammonia and hot water were some
times used to wash cheese when the rind
became mouldy, but he had never heard
of any other wash used in New York.
At the office of w. E. Smith it was also
said that some kind of preparation was
used to wash cheese in the west. OF
late years, however, comparatively small
quantities of cheese came from the west,
as most of the cheese made there was
also consumed there.
Deputy State Dairy Commissioner Van
Valkenburgh had never heard of any
such preparation to wash cheese as that
said to have been used in Cleveland.-

Heavy Cars the Safest.

Every commercial traveller has au
opinion of his own as to that position
which makes a car the safest one in a
train. Some of them hold that it is the
che next the baggage car; the majority
maintain that the centre of the train Is
the least dangerous, while ther= ire still
individuals, in the minority, t. re sure,
who favor the rear car.
These opinions have been .ined in
many instances from practical eS erlence
in railroad wrecks, which are, o course,
by no means infrequent in certain sec.
tions OF the country. As such they are
entitled to consider alton, but the dis
similar views really go to show that the
position of a car in a train as re cards its
greater or less safety is a matter OF
speculation alone.
Upon one matter, however, all the
travelling men agree, and that is that no
matter what the position of the car is,
the safest ones of all are the heavy sleep
ing, parlor, buffet cars and the likt.
They are commonly referred to by the
drummers ssas better than an accident
policy There Is every reason for the
holding of this favorable opinion of these
cars. Their heavier frames and trucks
render their telescoping a difficult mat
Ger, and they are less likely to leave the
rails in a time oil collision than other cars
in consequence OF their greater weight.

A good idea Is that originated By the
Mr.. George F, Talbot, Of Maine, and
embodied in the last report of State
Forestry Commissioner Packard, viz,
that towns shall acquire the title to
abandoned farms and plant them with
trees. A bill making such provision has
recently been introduced in the Maine
Legislature. At first blush, comments
the New York Post, it would seem that
there should be no cause in that State
for alarm about forest s~poliation, but, as
. matter of fact, fire and waste, es.
pecially the frat, are making serious
gaps on the hillsides. Little but zsal

since his remuneration is only 5000 9

which would compensate an able man
for the devotion of his whole time to its

Iuto the Jaws Of Death.

The hot July sun was zenith high upon
the field Of Gettysburg that direful day In
the midst of the ficrcest battle of the cell
turtles. General Hancock, reaching the spot
where the Union line was being forced
backward, hating his furiously ridden
horse, called out:
what regiment is thnt?"
''The First Minnesota"
"Charge those lines!'
A charge into eternity that order meant.
At double quick, without discharging a
gun, with the concentrated fire of the Con-
fedcrntc army pouring a leaden rain of
death upon thcm-at double quick, then at
full speed, they charged into the enemy's
advancing ranks. General Hancock saw
that Il five minutes respite meant the ar
rival Of re-cnforcements and a turning Of
the tide of battle. He sacrificed this noble
regiment ia those fearful five minutes, and
the position was held.
The charge saved the day, but co per cent
OF the mon who made the charge were left
on the field. Nearly every officer was dead
or mortally wounded. Of the 2G2 men who
made the charge, 215 were shot down by
the bullets Of the enemy; A were still in
line. Judge Lochren of Minneapolis, now
commissioner Of pensions, In his descrip-
ton of the charge, Of which he was one Of
the very few survivors, says:
THE annals of wal contain no parallel
to this charge. In its desperate valor, COM
|pletc execution, successful result and it's
sacrifice of men in proportion to the num-
Der engaged, authentic history has no rec
ord with which it can be compared.''-

Park.

Yellowstone park is the great geological
garden OF this country. OF buffalo, which
have been almost exterhlinatcd elsewhere,
here are probably 400, or moro than in ali
the rest Of the United States combined.
OF antelope, also greatly reduced at the
west, here are probably 500, and of elk
fully $4,000. In the northern part are large
herds of mountain sheep; in the southern
moose are found. There are large numbers
Of bears, beavers and other wild animals.
The increase of bears and pumas is such
that in the interest of the elk and the deer
1t has been proposed that the military
force should thin out the carnivora, per-
haps by capturing them for the use of
geological gardens. AS the elk only come
down III the valleys during the winter, the
flies driving them to the forest covered
heights in the summer, tourists usually
see nothing of them, so that 1t has been
proposed to fence in u herd of them and
also one of buffalo for the edi1lcation Of
summer visitors.
But the charm of the park is the free
roaming of these aninals.-Boston Com
