Where Feuds Generate.

The typographical situation to which
Kentucky and Tennessee were rele-
gated in the first half of the century
is the situation that still encircles and
enthrones them. Being neither hot
nor cold of temperature, they became
the scenes of impact between the
North and the South, the battle
grounds of the civil war. They still
nurture the abnormal to some extent
in the feuds between the Bakers and
the Towards, the Griffins and the
Philipots, because they are not invit-
ing to the ironmakers, the woodwork
ers and the general factors of the
North, nor entirely habitable to the
people who lave in the suns of the
South. Their characteristics extend
over into Arkansas, which, too, is
rugged, and has been more rugged in
some of its people. Yet Kentucky
makes the gallants of American his
tory, because it is on the border, and
Tennessee affords rural homes, which
have been exemplars for the romancer
and passions for the dramatist, while
1t installs in the gubernatorial chair
men who write verse for their own in
augural Odes. Tennessee lies pictur-
esQuely between the moonshiner and
the sugar cane.-Ainslee's Magazine.
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1900-01-04
Tragedies Of the Grand Canon.

Tragic stories are told of men who
have lost their lives in the search for
precious metals which may lie hidden
or uncovered here, says Harriet Mon
roe, in the Atlantic. The great prime
val flood cut its broad V through all
tie strata of rock, with all their veins
O, metallic ore, down to the earliest
saapeless mass, leaving in its wake
the terraced temples and towers which
seem to have been planned by some
architect of divinest genius to guard
their inaccessible treasures till the
end of time. And the river, rising far
to the north among mountains rich in
mineral. has been washing for ages
the sands away and depositlng thus
gold and silver and lead in the still
crevices of the inaccessible chasm.
Here the earth laughs at her human
master, and bids him find her wealth
IL he dare, and bear Ii away IL he can.
A young Californian who accepted the
challenge, and set forth upon the tur-
gid water to sift its sands for gold,
never emerged with his hapless men
TO tell the story of his search. Only
near the brink of the cleft are n few
miners burrowing for copper, and
sending their ore up to the rim on the
backs of hardy burros, as who should
prick the mountain with a pin, or
measure the ocean with cup.
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1900-01-04
Effect of Altitude.

Perhaps in no State of the Union has
climate so much to do with the charac-
ter of the people as in Colorado is the
contention of a writer in Ainslee's.
He says in part:
"Go into Colorado; climb the long
ascent from the level of the Missouri,
and then as you emerge from the train
into the handsomely improved streets,
and among the unsurpassed brick and
stone residences of Denver, feel your
head swim with the lofty altitude and
the rarefied air; then realize that the
miners went on mile further into
the air, that they are working and
taking out millions of dollars of gold
to the present day mile higher In the
air, at Cripple Creek, at Leadville and
a dozen other places; 1t will make you
pause to think what exaltation there
Is in dwelling there always, what stay
ing powers the pioneers must have
had. Wait n day or so, until the YER
tigo has passed away, and the exhil-
Grafton comes to you that always
comes when you have climbed a
mountain and stood upon its top and
gazed out over wide world that ex-
pands below you; then you will begin
to feel that electric, that nervous sur
charge, that indomitabIe, undiscour-
ageable, almost towering spirit of ele-
walton and still further elevation that
makes Colorado almost the liveliest
the most irrepressible, the most deter
mined element in the American body,
social and polite"

NUNS WHO ARE BLACKSMITHS.
They Have Built an Up to Date SmithJ
in Cape Colony.

Far away ont in South Africa, where
the din of conflict between Briton and
Boer is sounding, Is a band OF nuns
who not only pass their lives III re-
ligious devotion. but have adopted the
role of new women in "a strange char
acter. Eager to SOW the seeds of re-
lgion in South Africa. they turned
their backs on the time honored con-
vents of Europe and established them
selves under the name of the Sisters
of st. Dominic, near King Williams
Town, Cape Colony.
But in the new country where the
nuns set up their habitation the Boer
ncighbors looked upon their work with
suspicion and resentment, and even the
English looked with disfavor upon the
convent. The consequence was that
the sisters bought an extensive farm,
and. finding that farm laborers We're
scarce in land where most of the dig
ging was for gold and diamonds, sole
ly as means of self-support the nuns
put their hands to the plow. But acct
dents will happen, even in a convent,
and in time the plow-share became
broken.
There being no blacksmith in that
region the nuns sent to Cape Town and
got the materials to build and the tools
and implements to supply smithy. a
blacksmith as tutor was found, and
the nuns learned how to become black
smiths. They have thus far proven
not only their equality with man, but
their superiority to him, for when the
blacksmith, disregarding his religious
environments, went on prolonged
spree, the nuns speedily forced him out
of the settlement and determined
henceforth to do all their own work.
But the nuns went even further.
They found that blacksmithing among
the Boer and English residents was
profitable work. and they built a
smithy, with a brick forge. n strong.
capaciOus bellows of oxhide and all
the customary paraphernalia incidental
to the vocation of the votaries of Vul-
can, and established themselves as a
convent of female blacksmiths.
The feminine blacksmiths of the
Dominican convent are experts. The
presence of the hammer swinging nuns
seems to exercise sort of fascination
over the rest of the neighborhoOd, for
they will go out of their way on their
daily tasks to gaze at the hard-work-
ing sisters Of the smithy.
At close range the most striking eff
feet in the appearance of sister of st.
Dominic, as seen in South Africa, is
her rosy, tanned face, so different from
the bloodless, white complexion of the
nun under ordinary conditions.

Certain kinds of so-called imported
cheeses' which are made up in the CEN
trail part of this State and in Wiscon-
sin are about as good as the real arti-
Gle which they cleverly initiate" said
a restaurant keeper Not long ago
1 went through Green county, Wis,
where the cheese industry is very i'm
portant. The assessors statistics for
1895 gives the amount of cheese from
the factories there as 100000 pounds,
but il Is doubtless more than that. This
great product is shipped to the Pa
cifc coast and from there to Mexico
and South America.
These factories turn out the big
round Swiss cheeses, the fancy, so
called foreign cheeses and Limburger.
The business is almost entirely con-
tro;ied by Swiss cheese makers who
have been trained in their native coun-
try and their Swiss cheeses are made
exactly like the imported article. There
may be n difference I'm the quality Of
the milk here and I'm Switzerland, but
only an expert could detect Ii In the
cheese. 1t would surprise you IL you
knew how large proportion Of the al
legged imported cheeses are made in
this country. There are foreign cheeses.
OF course, which cannot be counter
fcited here because the pasture land Is
different, but the more common ones
are easily reproduced.--New York Sun.
