creased so rapidly that q few years
later it was necessary to establish o
depot in the latter town.
In 1913 Marie Harel, the eldest
married daughter, continued the
mothers business, and was publicly
rewarded in 1864 by the Normandy
association. She started four moro
depots, and her father-in-law, M. Pay
mel. introduced the first Camembert
cheese in the town of Caen, while her
goddaughter, Nine. de Lessert, es-
tablished the first Camembert cheese
manufactory in Calvados. In order to
succeed we'll in the making of this
cheese it is necessary not to skim the
milk, which should coagulate, and to
leave the butter-making for the
months from May to August, at which
time of the year only dry cheese can
be made. Rennet is added to the
milk, which is gently turned and af-
terward lett in repose in vessels with o
wooden cover till the coagulation has
arrived at the proper point. To as
certain this one place the back of
finger on the surface, and if it is not
stained with the milk it suffices. Next
comes the process of putting the cream
into forms which are open at both
ends, and placed on rushes so as to let
the drops of thin milk run off easily.
The cheeses are afterward carefully
salted and taken to the drying place,
where they are left from three to four
weeks.
On the third or fourth day they be-
gin to be covered with small brown
points. After week or ten days
they are full of soft white vegetation,
with n few blanks between. When
they begin to sweat and don't stick to
the fingers, they are placed on planks
and carried to the cellars to arrive at
q state of perfection. This occupies
another twenty or thirty days, during
which time they must be carefully
watched and tended. When they are
ripe they ara placed in half dozens
wrapped in paper, and covered with
straw fastened with string, ready for
their journey. They are also packed
in rush basketsor white wooden boxes.
The price of the Camembert varies
with the season. In the summer they
may fall as low as a dollar dozen and
go up again sometimes to SLIGO and

MAYoNNAIsE DRESSING.

This is the way Miss Emily E. Col
ling, the teacher of cookery, makes
mayonnaise dressing:
Put the yolks of two eggs into a cold
soup plate, beat or stir moment with
silver or wooden fork, then add half
teaspoonful of salt, dash of cay
enne, and, if you like it, half tea
spoonful of mustard. Work these
well together, then add, few drops
at time, from half to pint of olive
oil, stirring rapidly and steadily all
the time. Stir only one way, as re-
yersing the motion may cause it to
curdle. While adding the oil add al.
SO, occasionally, few drops of lemon
juice or vinegar. If too thick when
finished, add vinegar or lemon juice
until it attains the consistency you
desire. The more oil you use, the
thicker the dressing. If the dressing
should curdle, begin again with one
or two more yolks in another plate,
ana after stirring we'll add one tea
spoonful at time of the curdled
mayonnaise, and when all has been
stirred in continue adding oil as be-
fore until the desired amount is OBJ
tanned. Everything used in making
the mayonnaise dressing, dish in
cluded, should be ice cold, especially
in hot weather.

pour the lemon juice over the top.
Allow to remain for two days in cool
place. To every three pounds of
sugar allow one-half pint of water,
boil all together until the pumpkin
looks clear and is tender, but do not
break the pieces; pour into pan and

for the improvement of the navy.
Speaking of this item of foreiga news
the Pittsburg Dispatch says: "The
fact is appreciated by all civilized Gov

Hot Air Treatment.

1t has taken the medical world a
very long time to become alive to the
fact that hot applications and hot air
and water treatment are among the
most useful forms of medication known
to the human family. A great many
physicians are fond of speaking in
semi-indulgent, half way contemptu-
GUS fashion of what they are pleased
to term "home medication" and "old
woman's remedies" but there are
few doctors who are willing to admit
that medicine is quite secondary con-
dltion in the treatment of disease.
They are frank enough to acknowledge
new what their brethren in the pro-
fession will be forced to do at some
future time, that the system has more
effect on the medicine than the medi-
cine on the system, and that the great
chemical laboratory of the human
body is able to change a benefcent
drug into poison or the most viru-
lent of the toxlnes into means of re-
lief. There are scores of cases of ill
ness where the application of intense
heat would put the chemical forces of
life at work and restore the functions
to their normal condition without the
aid of one particle of medicine. That
doctors do not act upon this knowl-
edge is not altogether their fault
When patient ls suffering severely
there is an imperative demand from
the friends for something to be done.
1t is often the case that there are no
facilities for applying heat, and if
there were, this might not be alto
gether satisfactory to the family of
the sick person. People like doctor
who comes and does something him
self without taxing others to do for
him. He Is supposed to have the means
of relief in his hands, and as an old
lady once expressed it, "He goes right
to work and does something himself,
and doesn't expect the family to do
his work for him." What does one
have doctor for, to be sure, except
he is able to give something to stop
the pain at once? A great deal of suf-
fering might be avoided if people
could only be made to realize that a
cup of hot water or hot bath would
almost Immediately remove many of
the more violent symptoms of disease.
Every family, especially those where
there are children, should be provided
with some means for taking hot water.

In the days that followed it would
have been a curious study, for one not
vitality interested, to have watched the
change in Luke North's manner toward
Miss Branch.
Gradually, from polite listening
to her, he came to turn with an appar.
emily irresistible inclination toward
that part of the room where she hap
pened to be.
He stood near her chair; he looked
at her If he spoke; he listened with a
peculiarly vivid look upon his face
whenever she made any remark.
This attention was not marked; on
the contrary, it almost seemed as if it
were desirous of concealing even from
his own consciousness the attraction
which Miss Branch held for him, and
which every day he felt more and more
powerfully.
Had he ever thought her face un-
prepossessing? When Julia reminded
him, one day, that he said Miss Branch
was plain, he uttered an exclamation
of astonishment, but he made no other
reply. His betrothed, in troubled
tone, persisted in dwelling upon the
subject.
81 suppose she must be fascinating,
is she not?" she asked, w1stfully.
The mans face wore strange smile.
He averted his eyes, as he remarked,
in harsh voice:
Fascinating Yes, I think that must
be fhe word by which to describe your
friend, and she is your friend, is she

Julia Stallo trembled little and
turned pale. She seemed to struggle
for moment with herself, and then
she said. family:
"Oh, yesl OF course she is my
friend"
The winter days ran on. Miss Branch
had come to stay with her friend until
the spring.
How did it happen that Mr.. North
could now sometimes COM g to the house,
and remain, perhaps, for couple OF
hours before Julia would come into
the room? He always scrupulousiy
called for her the moment he came,
but he appeared to forget that she had
not come.
On one of those days when Julia had
not come, North had been strolling
about tina room in silence. Though
he did not speak, his eyes returned
again and again to the girl who sat so
quietly on the sofa. There was a reck-
less resolve in her face, and that look
was mingled with something which
J could not be interpreted. which any

though she could not understand it.
North came and leaned over her.
His voice vibrated, as he said:
"Miss Branch !"
She looked up light, bewlldering
and enthrslling, was in her eyes, and
diffused in lovely glow over the
hitheto unlovely face.
What would you say to me, if I
were to tell you that love you?" he
asked, quickly.
There could be no mistaking the
expression in her eyes; there could be
but one reading of the curves about
her mouth. The binding loveliness
that was in her gaze at that instant
made the mans heart almost stand

"Why?"

She stood looking at him for an in
stant, then turned and hurried from
the room.
North gazed blankly at the door
which had closed behind her. He had
not known how much he could despise
himself, and there was curious pull

on the part of the bachelor maid in
the following resolution, which was
debated recently by the students of

'Resolved, That all bachelors 80 years

such tax shall be 5 per cent. of the
annual income of every bachelor from
80 to 80 years old; 10 per cent. of the

LIES MISTAK ES.

We plant sweet flowers above the spot
Where rest our unforSotten dead.
And while the roses bud and bloom
We beautify their lonely bed.
Ne rear the snowy marble shaft
That every passer-by may learn
How sacred memory keeps her trust
In votive gift and storied urn.
But oh! the hearts that ache and break
Through all the long bright summer days
For some sweet word of tenderness.
Some generous and outspoken praise;
And oh. the bitter tears that fall
Der lifes mistakes and cruel fate,
That all things which the heart most Graves
or love and glcry come too late
Then take the rose that blooms to-day
And lay it in some loving hand,
And wait not till the ear grows dull
To tell the sweet thoughts that you
planned.
One kiss on warm and loving lips
Is worth thousand funeral flowers,
And one glad day of tender love
Outweighs an age of morning hours.

sAwDusr FOR BEDDING.

It is common practice for livery
men to use sawdust as bedding for
horses where that is abundant and
straw is hard to get. But as you raise
grain we should advise you to save
what is needed for bedding, no matter
though the sawdust be offered free.
Sawdust with manure makes it very
hard to rot, much more so than is
straw, though both being carbon have
scarcely any manurial value. Market
gardeners object to having sawdust in
manure piles, though they always
compost their manure before using.
1t is better to use either bedding as
economically as possible, and without
doubt long straw bedding can be used
with less waste than can sawdust,
partly because it is less alb
sorptive. The manure, either liquid
or solid. passes through the straw
without doing more than discolor 1t.
So by shaking ont and drying the
straw can be used repeatedly until it
has rotted and broken up. The liquid
manure Is best saved, not by absor-
bent bedding, but by layer of three
or four inches of wood loan under
meath the horse or COW. This also is
much better for horses feet than
standing on hard floors, either of wood
or concrete. A little chopped straw
lying on the earth will prevent the
animal from being soiled with it. The
earth flooring should be cleaned out
once a week and replaced with new

POULTRY POINTS,

Burn pound of sulphur in each
pen the first day of the month, so you
will not forget it. Clean mp the drop
pings every morning. Kerosene the
roosts and nest boxes once week.
Change the liter in the nest boxes
every week or two, and sprinkle lib
eIally with insect powder. Scald the
drinking vessels once a week.
Sudden changes are apt to make o
big difference in the egg records.
Sudden changes are readily noticed by
laying stock, especially of the lighter
built varieties.
The early patched pullets should all
be laying now. If they do not begin
early the chances are they may not lay
before the last OF February.
Market poultry raisers should visit
at least one exhibition. They will
enjoy the outing and profit by the dis
play.
The incubators on the majority of
farms are now in full blast, and the
brooders ore being put into operation.
Watch closely the condition of your
fowls, and nip in the bud the first
symptoms of disease. A sneeze, q
cough, swelled head, scaley legs,
stiffness of the joints, dark or pale
combs, lcoseness of bowels, are all
warnings of danger, and the proper
remedies must be applied. 10 neglect
now may mean an Improbable winter.
At this time of year it is good idea
to put rusty iron in the drinking
water. 1t furnishes good tonic.
When the nights are cold, an even
ing feed of cracked corn will serve as
fuel for the body; but make the

bly, warm, and that the fowls are not
suddenly exposed to cold, damp
storms. Nothing would bring on pneu-
monia quicker than such changes.
Close up the poultry account and
see how you stand. What was the
value of stock on hand at the begin
ming of the year? What would be the
interest on that at six per cent? What
did you pay for food, labor and sup
plies during the year? How
much money did you se-
cure for eggs? How much for
birds? Foot up the expenses; place
beside the feceipts-and what have
been your profits?
Clean up the premises, sell off the
surplus stock, CLOSE up the year in
good shape. Those who sowed rye in
the fall view with great satisfaction
the pleasure and benefit the fowls get
from it. A rye patch for poultry
pays good interest. Coming in just
at the time when green, tender grass
s scarce, it is certainly an attraction.

There is no green stuff that will pro-

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A cloth wet with ice water and laid
across the eyes is often cure for the
most aggravated cases of insomnia.
Vinegar added to the water in which
fish is boiled will make the fish firmer
and add to its flavor. 1t will also make
tough meat more tender.
To remove the smell of onions on
the hands, ground mustard, slightly
dampened, rubbed thoroughly on
hands, after which wash with sand
soap.
Lamp wicks soaked in vinegar some
twenty four hours before being called
into use will give clearer flame and
steadier light than those not SO
treated.
The rubber rings of fruit cans will
recover their elasticity if soaked for q
while in weak ammonia water. This
is quite an item when canning is being
done, and the rubber rings are found
to be stretched out of shape.
If you want your pet canary to sing
his best and look his prettiest feed
him occasionally with boiled eggs,
chopped fine and mixed with cracker
crumbs. Do not give him more than
thimbleful of the mixture at time.
Housekeepers puzzle over how to
whip cream without changing it into
butter and the secret is to have the
cream churn ice cold. One good cook
always fills her cream churn with ice
and puts it in the refrigerator before
using.
Wash willow furniture with warm

the box for half an hour.
In washing grained woodwork use
clear water or weak cold tea. Where
there are finger marks to be removed,
such as around the door knob or on
the window sill, little fine soap may
be used, but only just enough to do
the work, for soap should not be used
on this woodwork if it can be avoided.
Careful cooks remove the cores ol
eggs, the tough, milk.white bit found

indigestible when cooked. Another
small kitchen pointer is to know that
