made cheese, of course but it is cured
slowly in the jars, developing but

richness of fat, the cheese is turned

Dog That Can Test Metals.

No bank teller, crook or expert in
Iowa has a truer instinct for real,
genuine cart-wheel silver dollars
than has a Rock Rapids dog called
Silver Tip. Silver Tip is tan colored
and weighs about ten pounds. ALI OF
his two years of life he has been the
property of Landlord Barber, of the
Lyon Hotel, at Rock Rapids, but it is
only within the last year that his
power of Immediate insight into the
nature of metals has become known to
his owner, says the Chicago Times
Herald.
7. The way Tip manifests bis power, as
his owner puts its, is as follows: If
one takes a pile of coins the size of an
American dollar-say, q trade dollar,
q Mexican dollar, a fve-franc piece
and some counterfeit dollars-and put
one genuine dollar piece in the centre
of the pile. Tip will rummage around
among them for an instant and then
snatch the good coin and proceed to
take care of it in approved dog fashion
to an accompaniment of growls and
bites. Or if one rolls a coin along the
floor Tip can tell every time whether
it is good stuff to be chased.
Tip never makes a mistake, and
there isn't a bit of doubt about his
powers. He has been tested by
Chicago business men and by commit
tees of Iowa scientists. He gets no
hnman helm in hia work The pood
coin is not marked in any peculiar
way for his benefit, nor is it scented.
Any one can use his own coin in the
experiment. Nor does Tips powers
depend on signs from his master. The
latter leaves the room without de-
tracing from the dogs ability in the
least.
Mr.. Barber has refused all offers for
the purchase of Tip.
