GlUSEPPpS JUBILEE CHEESE.
Ship Rats Ate All but the Cask and Might,
Aroma

Ship Rats Ate All but the Cask and Mighty
Aroma.
"That's the cheese That's the cbeesep'
cried Leonardo Giuseppi, Ewing street
Italian, as he danced about small barrel
In the United States customs office for
Chicago That's the lovely Italy cheese!"
And as he spoke Appraiser Hoyne, who
was waiting on Leonardo and his Roman
friends, walked over to the window on the
aroma and prayed for breath of air,
while DIR. Harry Manning, an expert, 70
turned to the chemical division and play
fully broke wicker bottle full of bisul-
phide OF carbon and sat down on the fumes.
Leonardo Giuseppe is prosperous Ital-
ian. He has been in Chicago number of
years and has taken care of his money;
also, as he has gained in political infu-
ence, he has taken care of his friends, and
they think Leonardo Is all right.
He told them he was going to give them
jubilee banquet. He promised it should
be one of the strongest things on the West
Side. He wrote to friends in Rome and
had them send him direct consignment
of the edibles which are most affected by
the rich and epicurean people in the Eter-
nal City, and they did. The things came
and Giuseppe took some of his closest
friends down to welcome the reminders of
home. There was cruise of olive oil-not
made from peanuts, but from olives. There
was big tin can of yellow mushrooms
such as would throw a millionaire's chef
into agonies of envy. There was preserved
garlic that needed no label to disclose it's
character, and whole package of spa
ghetti.
But the papers called for casll of
cheese, and nothing of the kind could be
found in the room. Presently one of the
Italians bounded to the outdoor landing
and rolled in little barrel. Then Leo
Dardo and his fellows shouted, CHATS the
cheesel''
Unfortunately lot of ships rats had
gnawed hole in the bottom of the cask
and had eaten all of the cheese but it's
flavor, which chung around the shell and
the cask and sent Uncle Sans customs
people after their designations. They stood
out In the wind and shouted through the
open door that Leonardo might come back
the next week some time and pay the
tariff Chicago Post.

Housekeeping In India.

A writer on the Anglo-Indian kitchen.
in an English culinary journal, gives some
details of the service that reveal the trials
Of housekeepers in India. Filth in every
form appears to be necessary accompani
ment of the East Indian cuisine. The
kitchen sink is on the floor, with an out
let through the wall. There is no under
ground drainage, and the sewage Is us apt
to flow about the well as anywhere else.
The cook in toasting bread holds it between
his toes before a charcoal fire. Cinnamon
are more cleanly, hut they frequently use
the soup tnfeen to wash their feet in. In
one particular East Indians secure greater
cleanliness through the use of pure wood
ashes for washing utensils instead of soap.
The former have pungent cleansing proper
ties without n disagreeable reminder, as
in the case of the latter In all accounts of
East Igdian cookery the Inevitable curry
plays the leading part It is only of late
years that it has been revealed that curry
powder is valueless unless freshly made
The commercial sort that is exported from
India possesses no merit whatever and is
libel on the connection.

Traits of Horses.

The horse is one of the most nervous
and sensitive of animals, and for this
reason alone it should always be used
gently. A curious fact about the horse
is that it will leave musty hay untouch-
ed in its bin, no matter how hungry.
He will not drink Of water objectiona-
BILE to his questioning shifts or from
bucket which some other odor makes
offensive, however thirsty His intelli-
gent nostrils will widen, culver and
query over the daintiest bit offered by
the fairest of hands. A mare is never
satisfied by either sight or whinny that
her colt is really her own until she has
certified the fact by means of her nose.
Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop
wildly about a pasture without striking
the surrounding fence. The sense Of
smell informs them of its proximity.
others will, when loosened from the
stable, go directly to the gate or bars
opening to their accustomed feeding
grounds, and when desiring to return,
after hours Of careless wandering. will
the one outlet and patiently
await its opening. The odor of that
particular part of the fence is their
guide to it.

pocket and started for the barn.
Be sure and look in the hay NOV,
for the speckled hen always steals a
nest up there" screamed his wife after
him.
Mr.. Hackett knew very well where
the speckled hen was wont to lay her
treasures, so he made his way to the
place and was greatly astonished to find
instead OF two eggs two boys huddled
together and half hidden in the hay.
Ho! Ho! What's hcre? What's herep'
he exclaimed, seizirg them by their
jackets and dragging them both to light.
STEALING eggs, hey? I'll take care of
you. And keeping firm hold of them,
he made his way to the house, where
be entered the kitchen with one in each
hand.
What upon earth have you there?"
asked Mrs. Hackett.
"A couple of young rogues that I am
going to lock up so they shan't steal
my eggs. Just open that cellar door,
will you?' replied the farmer, and then
without needing the expostulations and
entreaties of his victims he dragged
them i'll his giant grasp down the cell
lar stairs, thrust them into brick
arch, locked the door and left them in
total darkness amid lot of old bottles
and ancient cobwebs.
"Well, guess we are hid now where
Dick or ybody else will never find

disposed to take things as cbeerfully as
possible.

There seemed to be no way but to sit
still and await their release. Nearly an
hour passed in this way-it seemed an
age TO the two boys-when Will OK.

"Well, can't stand this much longer.
l must do something toward getting
out. A"
Farmer Hackett had gone to the five
acre pasture alter the cows, but his
daughter Georgiana was at home, and
when she heard from her mother that
two boys were shat up in the cellar she
said it was a shame, and she would let
them out at once. So down cellar she
went and told them to run home as fast
as they could and never to be seen in
her fathers barn again. The prisoners
did not need to be urged. They scam
pered up the stairs and out of the back
door as fast as they could, never paus-
ing till they had reached their respec-
tive homes, where they found their par
ents much worried at their absence
and just on the point of going to search
for them. So ended the game of hide
and go seek.

DANGER IN GETTING SHAVED.
BARRIERS Ought to Wash Their Hands ar
Their Implements.

Their Implements.
The proposition to make a more careful
man of the tonsorial artist In so far as re-
lates to the transmission of disease from
his infected TO his well clients is not a
new one. The subject has been written
upon by several earnest men before Helm
rich Berger, whose Hygiene In den Bar
bierstuben" recently appeared in Leipsic.
No writer has, however, seemed to go so
deeply into the question and lay down such
strict rules for the knight of the shaving
knife. We are told that he must be a per
son free from epilepsy and all manner of
seizures, drunkenness and infectious dis
eases.
Being free from these affections him
self, he may give professional attention to
all persons, including those under the in
fiuence or those likely to have fit in the
chair, provided they are free from skin,
hair and sexual diseases Of an infectious
nature. Otherwise they are to DO treated
at home with their own implements. The
author gives number of other rules
which are in themselves and, so far as
they go, good-if BARRIERS could be pre-
vailed upon to follow them-but he does
not sufficiently insist upon the necessity
of boiling to the point of sterilization his
instruments, towels, sponges and especial
ly his own hands.
There are many things besides the so
called BARRIERS itch which may be trans
mitted in uncleanly shaving and hair
dressing, and of which the public knows
little or nothing Favus is decidedly on
the increase in this country, and the num-
Der of children turned away from the cit
les schools for this cause since the inspec-
ton innovation went into effect would
greatly surprise these who think of favus
as European or foreign affection.
Attention has recently been called by
member of the New York DermatologicaI
society to the danger of tho epilating
tweezers used in barber shops. Ingrow-
ing hairs and those attended by suppura-
tive Inflammation, as in sycocis, are ex-
tracted, and the next comor Is operated
upon without adequate and usually with
out any cleansing all of the instrument.
Certain rules should be adopted If possible
by BARRIERS in general to protect their pa
irons from dangers which are more real
than imaginary. Above all, they should
remember that scrupulous cleanliness of
implements and hands is the first requi-
site. and the advice now being given to
surgeons to "boil their hands, applies al
most equally to them. At the least they
could give a little wash between each
"ncxt" for the mere sake of appearances
and in the interest of business, if for moth
ing else. Medical Record. 40
