The Bandaneira sailed from IqHique.
March Is. She had loaded there a car
go OF nitrate for the Dupont Powder
company OF this city. This town is
practically the center of constant
earthquakes. An observation station IS
maintained there from which warnings
are sent TO masters OF vessels before
they leave port. The barometer had
been low from March 10. but Capt

During the next two days the barome-
ter dropped still lower and it was ev-
ident that a fearful hurricane was
brewing. The crew besought the cap
tain to return to Iquique. but he re-
fused.

Science and Art In cheese Making.


There are many hidden principles.
so that a cheese maker must be prac-
teal, observant and thoughtful. Rem
net action, Tactic fermentation, bac
terra and condition of the milk must
all be studied. To satisfy the taste
Of the consumer may mean mild,
new cheese, an aged, sharp favor,
open and rank or firm and not favored.
4 maker must know what his trade
wants and how to produce that par.
ticular grade. There are two leading
makes. One is known as the IDEAL
export for the English market. 1t is
close in texture, no holes. 1t must be
firm, rich as butter, haky and nutty in
flavor. 1t will keep long and improve
up to twelve months OF age.
The secret Of good cheese making
is heat to stimulate rennet action and
Tactic ferment. Properly understood
it gives flavor and character to the
cheese. Too much ferment makes
cheese short and haky; insufficient
gives it n bad flavor. Home cheese is
similar, excepting richer on account
OF an excess Of moisture Cheese
ought to contain one-thirI butter,

there are lost three to five pounds of
butter fat in every 1000 pounds of

The loss annually IN Wisconsin is
estimated at 81 900, OOO A maker
must, however, begin with good milk
and reject all others. The factory and
surroundings must also be neat aud
clean. A competent maker must pro
duce the same cheese from different
grades of milk. This will depend
largely ON rcnuct action. The snmo

Keep the Butter Firm and Sweet.

During the hot season the butter all
too frequently shows disposition to
run, too, and the housewife is often
at her wits end to know how to keep
1t firm and sweet.
An expert butter maker says that in
order to prevent raucidity butter may
be worked up with a solution of bicar
Donate of soda, allowing three quar-
tiers of an ounce or an ounce to each
two pounds of butter. After washing
thoroughly in this until the rank taste
has thoroughly disappeared, the but
ter should be rinsed well with fresh
cold water, and then sailed imme-
diGtely.

to u Phony $40 Bml.

Not only are all of the old-tlme
amusements of the Tcnderloin pre-
cinct wide open" now, but an Old
swindle has been revived to the loss Of
several restaurant Keepers. 1t IS
worked by 4 smartly dressed young
man whose method is the same in each
restaurant. He enters the place about
midnight and orders an elaborate sup
per with something to drink. When
the time comes to pay his check he
pulls ont a $40 bill and asks the waiter
How much?" He holds this bill be
tween his third and fourth fingers and
a cigarette between his other two fin
gers. AS the waiter makes out the
check the young man Caralessly holds
a lighted match to his cigarette and
incidentally TO his ten-dollar bill. The
latter begins to burn, and when the
walters attention is attracted by the
young mans cry Of dismay the bill has
been destroyed. That's the last one
of a roll l lost playing faro" says the
young man. IL haven't another cent

could resist such tale OF i'll luck as
that, and several Of the victims no.
caly called the supper account Off. but
gave the young man his fare home.
In each case the waiter could testify
that the bill destroyed was either for
$40 or $50 The same game was worked
by an elderly man half a dozen year
ago. The 5windier uses stage money"

Ventilation OF Horses Stables.

Ventilation OF Horses Stables. y
Good ventilation of stables with
plenty of light should be provided for
horses in the summer Many horses
are kept in underground stables. This
is very bad, especially in summer,
when cxcrements rot very quickly,
filling the stable with ammonia. This
is very injurious 10 horses eyes,
especially if the stable be rather
dark. This causes enlargement of
the pupil of the eye, and the change
to bright sunlight when tho horse is
brought ont of the stable often results
in making him blind. 1t is worse if
there are one or two small windows
where sunlight can come il. The
underground stable should in summer
be unused; 1T is tolerable only in cold
weather. .- >.r.-.

fend Himself and Devoting All His
Energies to Ladysmith-Big Army
of Refugees Expected at Capetown
from Kimberley.

London, Nov. 2S.-A fresh Interrupt
ton in east African cable service at
this interesting moment has caused a
cessation of war news. AS yet the war
Office has not received Lord Methuen's
detailed list of casualties, nor is there
any information at hand regarding the
whereabouts of the ninth lancers, who
were sent III pursuit OF the beers from
Gras Pan. The Daily Mail, says pri-
vate telegram, announces that the Ian
GERS are still scouting ahead of Me-
thuen's advancing column. Indeed.
the greatest anxiety is felt, more es-
pecially in view of the fact that the
Berlin Deutsche .Warte, which regu-
larly prints boer communications, an
nounced before it could have been as
certained from British sources, that
the naval brigade lost a hundred men
at Gras Pan and that the ninth Lancers
were captured. 1t is understood that
the government yesterday decided TO
proceed Immediately with the mobili-
cation and embarkatiOn of the sixth di-
vision of 10000 men under a well
known lieutenant general. Gen. Hid
yards achievement at Beacon hill is
| beginning to be recognized as one Of
the best things the campaign has yet
shown, as it has relieved the tension Of
the situation in Natal and has brought
the relief of Ladysmith within meas
urable distance. Gen. Butler appears
to be confident of Lord Methuen's abil-
ity and is devoting all his energy TO
Ladysmith. An attempt will be made
presumably to reach Colenso in time to
cut off the retreat of the beers from
Weenen over Tugela river. 1t is
feared, however, the enemy will get
there first and destroy the bridge. At
Frere bridge the British found tw1
massive spans utterly wrecked by dyn-
amite. Sir Alfred Miner has warned
the various relief committees in Cape
town to be prepared for the arrival Of
10000 refugees from Kimberley as soon
as the siege has been raised. Accord
ing to a dispatch from De Aar, dated
Sunday, the beers had destroyed the
bridge at Steynsburg the previous day
and were being reinforced at that point
