CHEESE-MAKING.
Little Known Facts About Some OF
the Famous Cheeses Brought
Into Our Markets.

We have COW in this country for every
four of the inhabitants. This liberal al
lowance makes us the largest producer OF
dairy products in the world, in spite of
the fact that we do not seem to have the
average European appreciation OF the
food value of milk and its products. We
produce more than any other country IN
the world simply because we have very
much larger population than any other
important dairying country; but In some OF
the older European lands two or three
times as much milk and cheese are con-
sumed per capita as in the United States.
We import large quantities of foreign
cheeses. 1t is probable that many OF our
citizens who are fond of imported cheeses
with world famous names are not acqualnt-
ed with even the broad, general facts con-
corning their manufacture. Some OF these
facts, collected here, may show that even
the prosaic subject Of dairying has inter
esting features 1t has also Its secrets
that are very carefully preserved. lmita-
tions of a number Of famous cheeses are
made in various countries, but are very
imperfect as well as spurious The broad
facts of the manufacture are known, but
there are essential details that are not un-
derstood by outsiders who try to reproduce
them.
Few people who have not been to Swift
zerland understand that one Of the great
.la IS tho 4 IlIna
PASTURES where hundreds of thousands OF
cows are driven every summer after the
Grass is well started. Far up among the
mountains the herders live, tending their
herds and producing tons and tons OF
cheese. There are nearly 2,1ll, l0l
acres in these Alpine pastures. All win
ter, the cows are fed on hay in the valleys
with no change in their diet till the sun
warns the grassy slopes into life. Then
they begin to climb the mountains. AT
first they Craze in the pasture OF the "vo-
ralpen.' for the high meadows of the
'mittelalpen, in the cooler and higher
attitudes, are not ready for them till the
season has considerably advanced. Grad
ually they are driven 10 the higher past
ures, where they Craze all summer; they
do not leave these heights, watered by the
melting SHOWS from the glaciers, till frost
compels them to seek lower attitudes; then
they descend as slowly as they had climbed
the slopes in the spring, and finally find
their way into the stables among the val
leys, where the farmers were cutting hay
for them while they were feeding on the
uplands.
While on the pastures they are tended
only by the herdsmen hired by the COW
owners in some hamlet to take care Ell the
animals and make cheese from the milk
they Weld. At each of the stages on the
slow journey up the mountains there is
hut in which the sem of herdsman lives.
1t contains the cheese making apparatus,
most of the milk is made into cheese,
though butter is also considerable pro
duct. As soon as the Sem steps out OF

King David,s soldiers.

From the Chicago Daily News.
The kingdom of Israel in the time of
David embraced a territory about equal
to the state of Massachusetts, and had
a population nearly the same as that
of New York--6. 100000 or more. That
it was able to dominate the territory
between the Mediterranean and the
Euphrates and from Damascus to the
Gulf of Arabia, with powerful neigh
bors pressing upon it from all sides.
was due to the military genius of Da-
vid and the admirable military system
established by him. In 1t is found not
only the germ but the full develop
ment OF the modern system of univer-
sal military service as applied in Ger
many and France. Its fundamental
principle was that every able bodied
man owes military service to the state.
which he must actually pay for a cer-
tain period in peace and in war.
David transformed the irregular
fighting forces of Israel into an organ
lied and effective army. This included
what we should now call a landwehr
of 2Ss,000 men,divided into twelve corps
of $4,000 men, each corps being in time
of peace called into active service for
one month in the year, so that there
were always 24000 men in camp. In
war acquisitions were made on this
force as needed and the troops were
placed under the command of a gem
eral OF tried courage and ability, be-
longing to specially trained military
body peculiar to the kingdom of Israel.
A bodyguard for the kings person
known as "gibborim." or heroes, was
organized from thoroughly instructed
men of war, corresponding 10 the
Swiss guards of France and, like them,
largely recruited from foreigners. This
bodyguard was formed into a brigade
composed of three regiments. each hav-
ing a colonel, or corresponding officer
a lieutenant colonel, and ten companies
commanded by captains. From this
guard, mainly from its captains, twelve
generals were selected to command the
army corps when called out for war.
This gave the trained captains of the
bodyguard assigned to the command
of corps rank equivalent to that OF
a major general.
When David was driven to such ex-
tremities by the unexpected rebellion
Of his son Absalom and had fed across
Jol dan, a wanderer in the wilderness
of Judea, he secured his final triumph
by means of his bodyguard, all thor
ough soldiers, trained for duty as Of
ficers. Through their instrumental-
ity the new levies were rapidly organ
ized into companies, regiments and
brigades It is interesting to note that
the march of Absalom when he led his
great army across Jordan against his
royal father was through the wood OF
Erhraiil." wild tract near the noun
tains of Gilead. resembling in its physi-
cal features the Virginia Wilderness"
where Grant and Lee tried conclusions.
The position held by David was like
that OF Lee on the Rapidan and Absa-
lom in marching through the wood OF
Eihriam" anticipated by nearly 5000
years Grants movements of May and
1854. The strategy Of Joab who
commanded the hosts OF David, was
precisely that Of Lee. he hurting three
strong columns on Absaloms line OF
march.

GOVERNOR WITHOUT POWER.
TO ALTER DECISION OF CoMMIs-
sIoNER IN PENSION CASES.

Many Pitiful Appeals Are Made to
Him. but His sympathy Is All He
Can Give--"I Need IT." the Only Ex-
cuse for a Pension Most of the APP
pIicants Can Offer-Commissione
Lindsay Is the Court of Last Re-
sort.
Atlanta, Sept las visitor entered
the Office of Gov. Gambler the other day
he found the Governor coming out.
Il am just going to the pension COM
missioner's Office for a minute, andwill
be right back" the Governor said, and
asked the visitor to have a seat.
When the Governor returned he cas-
ually referred to the object of his visit
to Commissioner. Lindsay's Office.
Il have just received a letter from
Confederate widow" he said, telling
me that her application for a pension
has been rejected, and appealing to me
to secure a pension for her. went
to see Commissioner Lindsay in order
to find out the status of her case, as
1 always do. and as is always the case,
find that can do nothing for her.
In this case it happens that the
applicant has not received a pension
for two reasons. In the first place she
comes under the new class of widows
provided for by the last Legislature.
and SO far there has been no money in
the treasury with which to pay these
pensions. In the next place her appli-
cation does not come within the re-
quirements of the law, and she could
not get the pension even if the money
were on hand"
The foregoing is only a. sample of the
petitions and appeals for pensions that
day, and in practically every case about
the only reason given why the pension
should be paid is. Il need it."
Poor souls" remarked the Governor,
Il have no doubt they need it. There
are many of them who need it, but
there is no power vested in me to aid
them" E
The ma iority of those who write the
Governor asking for pensions look upon
him as sort of Supreme Court, who
can overrule anything or anybody who
stands in the way of their getting a
pension. They seem to think that
when then are turned down by the
pension commissioner. no matter what
llS al dC1CNtS vi IllSAl dPplANdNiOAioi
the Governor can put the matter right
order their names on the pension rolls
and see that they get the money.
OF course all this is in error. When
Pension Commissioner Lindsay passes
on a case and rejects an application
because it does not conform to the law
that is an end of it. The commits
sioner is bound by the law, which is
specific, and when he passes on an ap-
plication in accordance with the law
there is no appeal from his decision
Neither the Governor nor the Supreme
Court, nor anybody else has power or
authority to alter it.
In spite of these facts there is not
one such appeal made to the Governor
but that it receives a courteous re-
ply, and he expresses regret that he is
unable to do anything toward getting
a pension for the applicant.
This is only one of a numerous class
of petitions that come in the Govern
or's mail daily-petitions in which he
is equally powerless to act because
there is no lazy authorizing him to dc
SO.
