OBSTACLES OF NEW COAL Pc OK
Lu,S

OBSTACLES OF NEW COAL POCK-
ELS.
Tt is understood that the men engaged
on the new coal pocket at East Deering
have struck an obstacle. 50 much new
piling has been driven that proper space
is not left for the water to flow under the
bridge. The result OF this, 1t is said,
has been to force an immense yolu me of
water down to the drawbridge. When
the tide GIBBS and flows it naturally
rushes through here in dangerous guam
ties and with great force.
On the westerly side gof the railroad
bridge, it VIII be remembered, there is a
long course OF piIing upon which there
was formerly a track. 10 allow space
enough for the water TO pass freely
through It Is said that these old piles,
several hundred In number, must be
pulled up.

HOME OF THE EDAM CHEESE.

While the Edam cheese Is q familiar
visitor on the table not every one
knows whence it comes nor how its
cannon ball proportions and gay COL
oring have been achieved. The north
ern part Of Holland Is the seat Of the
Edam cheese industry, and the conse-
uuent cleanliness of the relish Is there
fore doubly assured.
In making it the fresh cows milk Is
carefully strained and the rennet add
ed. AS soon as the milk curdles the
whey is drawn off. and the curd. thor
oughly kneadcd. is pressed into molds.
This process is repeated until the whey
has all been extracted and the curd Is
comparatively dry. 1t is then wrapped
in a linen cloth and kept for 10 or IL
days until quite solid. Then the cloth
Is removed and the cheese put into
salt lye. Afterward n little more dry
salt is sprinkled on the cheese until
the maker thinks it is salt enough to
insure It's keeping.
1t Is next put into vessel and wash
ed with whey and scnped to remove
the white crust. 1t Is next carried in
to cool room and laid on shelves,
where it is frequently turned. The
ripening process lasts from two to
three months. the round balls grow
ing the fine yellow or reddish color
peculiar to Edam cheese. The cheeses
intended to be exported to this coun-
try are rendered still more brilliant by
dyeing the rind with a vegetable dye

A VERY USELESS INSECT.

A writer in the Philadelphia Times
who has been looking up the record OF
the mosquito in natural history has
come to the conclusion that 1t Is very
useless insect. Here is the result OF
his investigation:
"Just why the mosquito bites people
Is not yet known. 1t is not to furnish
It food, for it Is an established fact
that a mosquito, after gorging him
self with human blood, dies within q
few hours, whereas mosquitoes that
have never tasted blood have been
known to live very comfortably, even
through the entire winter and into the
next season. The adult mosquito does
not need food. During Its larvae stage
it has stored up enough nourishment to
last all it's life, and it is normal state
for it to 90 without food for the rest
Of its existence. All that it needs Is
moist air, adult mosquitoes being
known to pass the winter in damp Gel
lars, living on nothing but the mois-
ture.
"The fact that it Is estimated that
only one out of 10000 ever tastes hui
man blood also proves that 1t Is not
necessary. Why it persists in tortur-
ing mankind. therefore, has not yet
been found out, and scientists can on
ly swear softly with the rest of man.
kind and make the general statement
that the mosquito is born with vitiat.
ed appetite for human gore, an appetite
that causes the death of the indulger."

DANGEROUS TRADING.

Upon returning to camp we found
that John, the driver, had purchased
load Of pumpkins, which the native
men and women from the MaZoe val
ley had brought to the wagon to barter.
At first was pleased, but when l
found that John had traded away
about 20 pounds Of preservative, con-
sisting Of alum and arsenic, which he
had mistaken for salt. was filled
with dismay! We knew not the villages
whence the natives had come, nor
could we explain the mistake. as we
were ignorant Of their language; and
before my scared mental vision rose
piles of dead Mashonas. pestilence and
war on the whites-provided there re-
NAMED enough live Mashonas to make
1t.
Hence it was that before daylight
the next morning we left for the fort.
We made no mention Of the matter to
any one, but a year later, when visit
ing the Mazoe valley, inquired of
the natives If there had been any dis
ease among them about the time when
the white men arrived In the country.
They said there had been an epidemic
Of stomach aches, but, fortunately, no
one had died from it; so my conscience
was profoundly relieved.-"On the

| through many editions. Unfortunately
he was given to drink, and, though he
never was known to be dead drunk,
vet he was often In q state which
rendered him unit for professional du-
ties.
One night when he was in such a
condition he was suddenly sent for to
attend lady of title who was very
i'll. He went. sat down, listened to her
story and felt her pulse. He found he
was not up to his work. He lost his
wits and in a moment Of forgetfulness
exclaimed, Drunk, by Jove" Still he
managed to write out O mild prescrip-
ton.
Early next morning he received n
message from his noble patient to call
on her at once. DR.. Fordyce felt very
uncomfortable. The lady evidently in
tended to upbraid him either with an
improper prescription or with his dis
graceful condition. But to his sur
prise and relief she thanked him for
his prompt compliance with her press
ing summons and then confessed that
he had rightly diagnosed her case, that
unfortunately she occasionally indulg-
ed too freely in drink, but that she
hoped he would preserve inviolable Sc
crecy as to the condition he had found
her in. Fordyce listened to her grave
as judge and said: 4You may depend
upon me, madam. I shall be as silent
as the grave."- e."-Gentleman's Magazine.

CIJRDS AND CHEESE.

The rough outlines Of cheesemaking
are probably familiar to every one.
Fresh milk Is taken and curdied with
rennet The curd Is then broken up
and the liquid whey drawn of; the
breaking up of the curd, its straining
and the subjecton Of it to pressure are
processes repeated several times until
eventually the curd has become of the
necessary consistency and solidity. 1t
is then set aside, usually for some con-
siderable time, to ripen, and during
this time great changes are subtly tax
ing place in it's substance, 80 that tho
curd, which at first was an uneatable
solid, becomes gradually transformed
into a palatable cheese.
Suitable external conditions, chief
among which Is proper temperature,
are, Of course, necessary to bring this
ripenlng Of the curd to a successful Is
sue, but the real reason Of the trans
formation Is the presence Of myriads
of bacteria, which find In the curd
luxurious dwelling place, where they
can live and multiply. That in so HV-
Ing they must abstract foodstuffs from
the curd around and give out In turn
new substances Is merely the natural
course of their life, but it makes all
the difference between curd and
cheese.-Good Words.

THE BUSINESS INSTINCT.

Too many people are accustomed to
think of polteness In address as ap-
propriate in company, but quite out or
place in business. An engaging man
ner is useful everywhere.
This axiom Is amusingly Illustrated
by a story which Justin Mccarthy
tells. Soon after the civil war, he
says, I happened to be standing on a
bridge in New York amusing myself
by studying the crowd, when a shrill,
youthful voice accosted me with,
"Cap'n, shine yer boots"
The chance distribution Of military
titles was ready and liberal at the time
when so many soldiers were returning
to civilian life, and / paid no attention
to the invitation.
Just then q rival bootblack passed,
and, imagining where the cause Of my
Indifference lay, he advanced, and,
pushing past the unsuccessful claim
ant, he gave me a military salute and
appealed to me with the captivating
words:
"Brigadier general, shine yer boots"
I had my boots shined on the spot.
