OF Matthew Arnold as a school-exam-
liner the author of pages from PR
vate Diary has this to say: 'sArnold's
reports are very good reading, but his
methods of examination were some
times highly poetical. l remember q
tale told by fellow-inspector of q
class of girl-pupil teachers that he
asked Arnold to examine for him. Ar
mold gave them all the excellent mark.
But said the other inspector, surely
they are not all as good as they can be;
some must be better than others Per
haps that is so,' replied Arnold. but
then, you see, they are all such very
nice girls"

The water will remain in the inverted

out cutting.
Two makers may cut four times with
the perpendicular knife, but if their
strokes are not of the same speed the
pieces of curd will not be of the same
size. A fast working curd, or one that
is desired for long keeping cheese,
should be cut finer in order to get rid of
the moisture faster, but whether for a
firm or soft cheese get it cut even.
After cutting rub the curd off from
the sides and bottom of the vat by pass
ing the extended hand over them. Then
stir the curd over with the hand sever
al times and turn ON the steam, very
gently at first The rake can be used

ton, at the same time watching the
corners to see that the curd does not
roll up there in chunks. II we did not
stir the curd, it would settle down into
one large mass on the bottom of the
vat, and we could not get it cooked.
The cutting is therefore to distribute
the heat through it evenly, as we'll as to
let the whey out more readily. The
heating accelerates the expulsion of the
whey.-Hoard's Dairyman.

the coagulum is cut into layers with
this knife the perpendicular knife is
used to finish the cutting.

crosswise. 1t may be cut once or twice

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of THE EN-
oUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand it
Just the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give
synopsis of that portion OF it which has
already been published:
CHAPTER I.-Dick Gordon, Yale grad
uate, goes in for hard work. From the
Chicago and Alton railroad repair shops
he is gradually promoted and finally
works up to the position of superinten-
dent of q western railroad-the Kansas
and Arizona. The story opens with an
account of trip by rail of Mr.. Cullen, q
railroad vice president, over the lines OF
the K. and A. Gordon is asked to meet
Cullen and party and pilot them through.
In the party are Madge Cullen. with
whom Gordon falls in love Lord Rallies,
an Englishman, in love with Madge, and
Captain Ackland, brother OF Lord Ralies.
Talk turns on train robbers. Madge
would like an adventure with hold ups.
So would Rallies and Ackland. While
horseback riding near Santa Fe, Gordon
points out among convicts working ON
railroad grade Jack brute, train robber
under IA year sentence. Madge speaks
to the convict, who answers gruthy.
CHAPTER 1.-THE party is Joined by
Madge's invalid brother. On special
train all go on westward. While Mr..

Madge enjoy the moonlight OF! the rear
car the train is held up by bandits.

out of the scrape for Madge's sake.
CHAPTER VII.-Our hero in league
with the Cullens. Madge is happy and
Lord Rallies discomfited.

his VERSION.

Until the last year Rev. Sexton was
strong advocate of home and foreign
missions; but he no longer advocates
the expenditure of money for the
spread of the gospel in foreign lands.
"There is enough room in this country
for work." is about the motto he has
adopted.
This change of opinion was caused
by recent visit Rev. Sexton made to
the mountains and a discovery he
made Just over the state line in North
Carolina. While passing along rug
ged road he met an uncouth youth.
A conversation followed, in which the
mans name was found to be "Bill."
When asked if he had been to
church lately, the mountaineer gave a
look of surprise, but later said he sup
posed he and his father had heard a
man preach one time.
"What did the man talk about ?"
asked Sexton.
"Why," calculated the wonder
stricken fellow, she tole US bout er
man what made liquor outen water,
and the hull pacel NV 'em got drunk
an killed er fellow name wv O. Christ"
The blacksmith preacher thought of
the many sledge hammer blows he had
struck at the devil, but this almost
knocked him out. He, however, ven
tured to ask the mountaineer where
the lynching took place, when he Sc
cured this answer:
ayes sab, that man er talkin' Nv
the fight opened pap's eyes too. Why,

"It's an internal lie," said.

sheriff, "but two-thirds Of the boys are

JONAH AND The WHALE.

An old whaler, who is a devout BIZ
BILE student, writes to the Sunday Jour-
nal about DR.. Lyman Abbott's sermon
on Jonah and the while. He is Mr..
George A. Lord ,of No. 327 Main street,
Springfield, Mass, and he proceeds to
show just now Jonah might have been
swallowed and lived in the whale as
follows:
"Being an old whaler, I have had
more and better opportunities of
studying the habits and charactertics
of the whale than those who have new
er assisted in capturing one. In the
first place, the whale is not fish.
The whale is a -blooded animal,
and is classified among the mammalia.
1t suckles its young, and the sex is
spoken of among whalers as the bull
and cow whale.
"The whale referred to in the Book
of Jonah is the sperm whale, which is
found mostly in the tropics. This
species is different from the right whale,
which is found in the colder localities.
"The sperm whale has large throat
and can swallow large pieces of squid,
oftentimes two feet square, and as long.
1t has formidable Get Of teeth with
which to cut the squid. The right
whale has a very small throat, and
therefore has to subsist upon small
fish.
"His methods of feeding are to rush
into school of small fish with mouth
wide open, taking fish and water to-
gether. He then closes his mouth
and blows the water out through the
blowhole on the top of his head. The
fish are retained in the mouth by the
hairs of the bones in the roof of his
mouth. He then swallows the fish.
"Another popularity of the sperm
whale in connection with the story Is
that, being warm blooded, it must
have oxygen. Now, the sperm whale
has the means of taking enough air to
allow him sound, that is, to descend to
the depth of $50 fathoms, and remain
there for 80 minutes at time. He
does this only when harpooned. After
the boat is fastened to the whale and
he has sounded all the men have to do
is to quietly wait until he starts to
rise.-New York Journal.

risk to 60 there, but it was one I was
willing to take for the object had in
view, and, since had to take it, it was
safest to get through with the job be-

however, that there might be a spy

that Camp would hope to get some clew
of the letters by keeping watch cn the
station and the cars. Thinking boldness
the safest course, walked on to the
platform without hesitation and went

chose this man, first, because I could
trust him and, next, because had only
one of the Cullens US an alternative,
and if any Of them went sneaking round
it would be sure to attract attention.
"The moment you have the letters put
them in the station safe" I ended, "and
then get word to ME. "
"And where'll you be, Mr.. Gordon?'
asked the man.
''Is there any place about here that's
