Heirloom Cheese.-Heirloom cheeses
are specialties Of Switzerland, and mark
one of the most peculiar of bridal or
marriage customs known. It prevailed
for centuries in what is called the
cheese regions of Switzerland. In that
portion of the Alpine country, when
a pair join in wedlock, it is the fashion
for their intimate friends to buy a
regular cheese" for the young couple.
This cheese is presented to the newly
welded people on the evening of the
wedding day, and is ever after retained
by them and used as family register.
On these heirloom cheeses the whole
history of the family is carved: such
as births, marriages, deaths and other
incidents which it may be desired to
make matters Of record. Some of these
old Swiss family cheese records are
said to date back to the middle Of the
seventeenth century.-Dairy World.

a multitude of individual bonds the
blanket bonding system will be used,
whereby the superintendent and clerks

WINTER BEGAN YESTERDAY.
Formal Opening of Season of Snow and
Freezing Weather.

Astronomically considered, winter be-
gan yesterday, when the sun entered
the sign of Capricorn and the day was at
its shortest, although many persons will
be inclined TO think that actual winter
began business some weeks ago.
Yesterday was the Feast Of St
Thomas. the apostle. in whose honor fes-
tivals were held in former years in
Europe. Various stories are told of the
customs which formerly prevailed on the
day, one of which was the practice
among poor persons of visiting their
rich neighbors on that day and begging
a supply of either money or provisions
with which to enjoy themselves at the
Christmas season.
The seven days preceding and the
seven days following the shortest day
of the year. or the winter solstice, were
called by the ancients halcyon days,
which phrase is said to have been de-
rived from Il fable that during this
period the halcyon bird, or kingfsher,
was breeding, and the sea was always
calm, making it possible for the mariner
to navigate in safety.
