OF the ten millions OF pounds OF cheese
produced in the state of Wisconsin. nearly
all is made by Swiss methods aud Swiss
people. who initiate the home product fair
ly well. The work IL done between April
and the late autumn months. and many Of
the "cheescrS.' as they are called, young
Swiss who have learned their trade at
home go back each year to spend the win
ter. reappcarinP regularly with III, opening
of the working season. The industry is an
increasing one, and the quality of the prod
net is guarded as jealousy as the Swiss at
home guard that of their own. Most Of
this cheese is shipped TO the Pacific coast,
and finds its market In the South American
countries, but some Of il goes farther away
from home than that even. for one OF these
cheesemakers last year inclosed in one OF
his cheeSeS a bottle containing letter ask
ing the party who cut the cheese TO cont

the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
An amusing incident occurred on the flag
ship McCaulley, which was in the lead of
the naval parade yesterday. Aboard the
tug, occupying n prominent position on the
upper deck, was a young man who carried
binoculars and wore a nautical cap. He was
csc orting a young woman, and took great
delight IN tranSlating to her the different
sentiments expressed by the international
flags strung aloft on the many craft
Whether the young man really underst TODD
the national code nobody present had
knowledge enough about it to be sure, but
n finally convinced all hands. including his
contiding young friend, that he was an I'M
biuShlng fraud. Down the river half n mile
away, was line of nuttering flags or
something of that kind on the government
cruiser Prairie. attached to line running
from the bow to the top Of the flag mast,
The young man glanced through his glasses
moment and promptly decided that the
combination read Remember the Maine"
Great was his chagrin when tn. fiagship
drew near and the fiuttering flags turned
out to be seamens shirts that had been
hung out to dry. The Prairie was the only
ship In the river of any siz9 that did not
nave nag decorations.

The Latest Hunting Yarn.

An American sportsman out duck shoot
ing In Maine relates how he stopped to rest
in an old field in which there was an or
chard A flock Of sheep was feeding near
by 1t was not long before his attention
was called to the chirruping of some squir-
rels in a thicket, and he was surprised to
see the sheep suddenly stop feeding and
manifest great excitement. The squirrels
went into the orchard, and, climbing into
one of the trees. resumed their loud clat-
ter, evidently calling the sheep, since the
flock made at once for the apple tree.
Then the squirrels began to bite off the
apples, which fell among the hungry sheep,
who would struggle for the fruit like so
many school boys. The squirrels seemed
to enjoy the fun, and after they had
dropped a few apples from the first tree
they skipped to distant tree for which
the sheep would make in great confusion
After the squirrels had thus enjoyed an
hours fun with their f1eecy neighbors and
supplied them with sufficient quantity OF
the iruit they scampered back to their
haunts In the thicket., leaving the sheen
to resume their grazing.

Not month passes that the United
States treasurer and superintendents of
the mints do not hear of a gold brick game
having been successfully played The VIC
TINS almost invariably make their appear
ance at the muts or assay offices with
their metallic bars carefully wrapped in
canton flannel and slowed away in a cana
clous gr1psack The experts are able to de-
tect the fraudulent character of the bars
at glance. although in many cases thew
are cieverly plated with the genuine metal
Inc weight always gives them away, how
ever. A week or two ago the purchaser of
noble gold brick about a yard long turned
up at the Philadelphia mint and the off,
Gals or that institution had a hard time
convincing him that he had been swindled,
10 satasty him, number of gold bars were
brought In, which. combined were about
the size OF the fictitious chunk of plated
iron The fraudulent brick weighed about
eighty pounds. while the real gold occunv-
ing the same space weighed over two hun
dred pounds. To still further convince the
victim, the bar was broken up and a Dor
ton of 1t pulverized. 1t was not uutaI then
that he would acknowledge that he had

ENJOYING 4 VACATION.
An outing for the White uou.a
orange and Lemon Trees

Inc lemon and orange trees of the White
House have been put out in the sunshine
Tor vacation from the green houses
iHeSe trees are or great interest to the few
visitors who see them. There are five or
SIX orange trees and three or four 1emons
and they are all bearing fruit at this time
Oh the year. The lemon trees produce
splendid specimens of fruit large and iuicv
On the largest tree is a cluster of three
lemons. They are larger than any found
IN the Washington markets. The orange
trees are likewise doing their duty Some
of the orange trees are purely ornamental
Ihey are not over two feet high and bear
small oranges, unfit to eat The larger
ones, the tallest being about five feet six
inches, bear luscious. juicy oranges which
are sometimes placed before the President
ard his wife. The largest tree is twenty
years old So is the largest lemon tree.
which is about six feet tall. These trees
have been at the White House that number
or years. Whenever the weather is at all
cool the trees are kept in the green house
but when the warm season comes on they
are taken out for several months The
trees are not taken Immediately from the
green house to the sunshine and the open
air. Superintendent Pfister says that would
be likely to kill them. Their long winter
residence in the green house makes them
tender, and to subject them to the heat of
the sunshine would be dangerous They
are first put in shady place under the
covered ways of the green houses. They
are thus in the open air. but are not in the
sunshine. After week in this position thew
are put in the sunshine, and usually in a
place where the sun shines all day and gives
the greatest heat. Superintendent Pfister
calls this hardening them, and he knows
his business. he has been In charge of
the Conservatives for many years. He is
an expert In his business, and there is said
to be none better in the country.
