constable mentioned the disturbance
at the town hall. Welsh looked at him
with the most childlike and innocent
expression on his face and couldn't
understand what he was driving at.
So the constable told him everything
that had happened, and of course
Welsh was greatly disturbed. He said
he couldn't remember thing that
had happened from the time he went
on the platform until he found him
self at the hotel packing up.
He had with him in his grip some ad-
vertising cards with half-tone pictures
of children onsthem. He showed these
pictures to the constable and said they
were his children, and it would break
their hearts to hear that papa had
been arrested. Then he gave up a
couple of cigars and the constable car
ried his grip down to the train for him.
The constable wanted him to stay over
and appear against the professor, but
Welsh said he had been made junior
member Of the firm that Cay and he
had to hurry back to Chicago.
Well, after Welsh got out of town
the mesmerist found that the only way
he could square himself was to blame
Welsh. He said that while they were
on the stage Welsh whispered to him
that he would ''bust" up +he show un-
less he received ten dollars. The pro-
fessor Indignantly refused to lend
himself to any such game, and imme-
diatcly Welsh began his maniacal per-
formance.
The merchant who had vouched for
Welsh wrote to the house that if
Welsh ever appeared in that town
again he would be tarred and fcath-
cred. So the house transferred him
to Wisconsin.-'The DRUMMER" in

Sign. of a Good Cow.

One or two signs will denote good
COW, Prof. Heacker says. as we'll as
twenty; in poor COW the thigh runs
down straight, so there is no space
between the thigh and the udder on
one side and the tail on the other.
There should be plenty of daylight be-
tween the udder and the tail. One of
the best ways to tell what kind of a
cow you have is her temperament. A
good dairy type has sharp spine,
strongly developed nervous system,
and sharp hip bones. A good COW has
large, wedge-shaped stomach. for
she must have large and powerful
digestive system to use up her food
quickly and make the best returns for
it.-Dakota Field and Farm.

OF all nuisances on the farm a self

BILE. Consequently, the best way to
serve such an animal is to dispose Of
her to the best advantage possible,
and the sooner the better, for once
this bad habit is acquired it can rarely
if ever be cured.
Still, If the COW is an especially val.

nor is there any need of it. Why? Be-

RoQUEFoRr CHEESE.
ture OF 1aSIlk from the Goat
ana the sheep.

Many efforts have been made in this
country to make an imitation or sue
ccssful substitute for this favorite
French cheese. but they have met with
small degree of success.
None of these American products
was of sort which could not be easily
distinguished from the genuine. and.
according to cheese experts. the Ameri-
can manufacturers have nearly aban-
doned hope of being able ever to make
a cheese which will take the place of
the genuine Roquefort.
Roquefort cheese is made of mix
ture of goat and sheep milk. The rep
utation of this cheese extends back
into dim antiquity, and Pliny mem
toned it in his writings.
1t is made chiefly from the milk of
Larzad goats and sheep. and in the rec
ords in France it is stated that in the
year 1866 250,000 sheep and goats out
of flock Of 100000 gave enough milk
for the making of 7,150,0OO pounds of
cheese.
In the manufacture of Roquefort
cheese the sheep and goats are MIXED
in the evening after their return from
the pastures and after they have been
allowed to rest for an hour or so.
The evenings milk is heated almost
to the boiling point and then set aside.
In the morning it is skinned, heated
to 90 degrees and mixed with the morn
ing's milk for coagulation. The curd
is we'll kneaded with the hands and
pressed in layers into molds with per-
forated bottoms. A thin layer of
moldy bread is put between each layer
of curd.
The object of this is to hasten the
"ripening" of the cheese by supplying
the germs of the green mold peculiar
to cheese. The bread used for this
purpose is made before the preceding
Christmas of about equal parts OF sum.
mer and winter barley, with consider
able sour dough and some vinegar.
When moldy enough it is ground and
sifted. moistened with water and kept
from the air until wanted in the max
ing of the cheese.
The curd remains in the molds for
three or four days, after which the
cheeses are wrapped in linen cloth and
put to dry. They are allowed to re-
main in the drying rooms three OF
four days. Then they are taken to
the market in Roquefort, where they
are sold to the different makers of
Roquefort cheese.
These manufacturers continue the
ripening of the cheeses by placing
them in the very damp caves which
abound in the precipitous walls of the
limestone hills surrounding the village.
The caves, which arc so situated that
the currents of air flow from south to
north. are considered to yield the best
cheese. The currents of air which
come from these caves are cold even
in the warmest weather.
The cheeses are left in the caves
sometimes more than month. during
which time salt and brine is rubbed
into them. and they are picked fire.

A new departure in the way of rear

fully carried out this season on a

When ling'ring hopes mid shadows flee
He shall eternal sunshine be

Thy song of praise shall ring;

A lamp of gold that burns for thee.

At evening time the bells of peace
Adown thy road shall peal;

And grant thee from thy load release.

ing a mesmerist to stick needles in
him while he is supposedly under the
influence.
You can imagine that "Prof. De
Cardo" was surprised man. He
hadn't made any arrangements with
Welsh, and therefore he had no rea-
son to believe that Welsh would be
subject to the mysterious influence.
He began to think that he was mes
merist and hadn't known it, or else
he concluded that Welsh had decided
to help him out with the show just
to be good fellow.
Whatever he may have thought, he
kept his nerve with him and put Welsh
through the whole list of specialties,
had him cutting watermelons and
marching with cane for gun, and
a lot of ridiculous stuff. Welsh was
so earnest and conscientious in his act
ing that he simply laid the other fell
lows in the shade. That was the
trouble. He was too good. The spec
tators began to murmur. They de-
cided that he was confederate, after
all.
One of the "tests" was that of fish
ing with cane. The subject stood
on the edge of the rostrum and held
the walking-stick as pole, and when
ever lie had :'bite" he would pull it
up with an overland sweep. This al
ways tickled the house.
Welsh decided to vary the usual per-
formance little. When he pulled in
with his pole he pretended that he had
landed a fish, so he made grab for
it, and then there began most ter
rife struggle. He knocked over the
table with the pitcher of water on top
of it, and upset three or four of the
yokels who were sitting around in the
semi-circle, and then all at once he
shouted: "There it is! There it isl"
and grabbed "Prof. De Cardo" from
behind and swung him around the
stage. Women began to scream and
children cried. Men stood up all over
the house and yelled: "Stop him!"
Welsh decided that it was about
time for him to get out of the place,
SO he suddenly let go of the eminent
mesmerist and shouted: "I'm dog!
I'll bite anyone that touches me! Bow
wow!"
With that he made a dash for the
door, and they say that every man,
woman and child in the house shrieked
and tried to crawl under chair when
he was seen to jump over the foot
lights. He got out and ran all the
way to the hotel.
Of course, that ended the show.
"Prof. De Cardo" was too agitated to
offer any explanation, and most of
the women were in Mysteries.
The town constable was the only
man who knew what to do. He arrest
ed the eminent mesmerist," who
claimed that nothing of the kind had
ever happened to him during his pre-
vious career, and that he had every rea-
son to believe that Welsh had delib-
erately attempted to break up the
show. Thereupon the constable de-
cided that he would arrest Welsh also.
Welsh was making arrangements
to get out on the night train when the
constable came up to his room. He
was greatly surprised when the con-
stable mentioned arrest" and want
ed to know what he had done. The
