Mart Hirzel will erect another new
ice house on the same lot with the one
he built last fall. Our citizens will
have no trouble about pure ice as Mil
waukee people have, as all the ice for
all purposes is cut in Silver Lake.
The house occupied by Mrs. Pal

1890 p. M, and the Hose company
was called out. The contents in the
house was all saved, but the house is
total wreck.
The band boys are rehearsing
nearly every night, and our citizens
will be treated to some open air con-

Mr.. E. A. Everett, proprietor of
the summer resort on Catfish lake,
will receive about April goth, a fine
Steam Launch, 80 feet long, with an
8 horsepower engine, with a speed of
25 miles an hour. The boat was
built by the Racine Boat Co., of RAJ
cine, and will add considerable to the
convenience which Mr.. Everett offers
to his many guests.
The party who took the hat and
overcoat of J. j. Roderick from the
wardrobe at the rink last Monday
night and famed them in the fence
corner, could be caught, it would no
doubt go hard with them. Any per-
son guilt of such mean act, had
ought to be made an example of, as a
warning to others.

Some Interesting Figures.
Assume it is six thousand years since

Assume it is six thousand years since
the creation-that there are 400, 00O,-
600 of people now living on the earth.
Our race began with one pair-let us
make very liberal estimate and suppose
that there were as many at the beginning
as there are now; and, further, that there
never were fewer than that number at any
time, though actually the food reduced
the population to eight persons. Again,
let us be liberal, and estimate three gener
ations to century, or 33 years to gen
Grafton, though, according to Genesis D,
there were but II generations from Adam
to the food, a period of 1906 years, or
about so years to each generation. Now,
let us see, 6,O00 years are 60 centuries;
three generations to each century would
give 1S0 generations since Adam, and !
400. 600, 900 to a generation would give
252, 900, 900, 900 as a total number OF our
race from Creation to the present time, ac-
cording to this liberal estimate, which Is
probably more than twice the actual num-
| Der.
Nnerc Sudll VIC bHu iooii S"SNo'-
this great multitude Let us measure the
lands and see.
The state of Texas contains 237, O0O
square miles. There are 27, 87S, 400 So.
feet in mile, and, therefore, 6,6O7, l8O,-
SOC, 900 square feet in Texas
Allowing 10 square feet as the surface
covered by each dead body, we find Texas,
as a cemetery, would at this rate hold
geo. 718, ,O90, 900 bodies, or nearly three
times as many as our exaggerated estimate
of the numbers of our race who have lived
on earth.
A person standing occupies about one
and two-thirds square feet of space AT
this rate the present population of the
earth, l, 400, 900, 600 persons, could stand
on an area of sc square miles, an area
much less than that of the city of London
or of Philadelphia.
The island of Ireland-area, 81, OO0
square miles-would furnish standing room
for more than twice the number OF people
who have ever lived on the earth, even at
our exaggerated estimate.

The girl is feet inches tall and her
bust measures 80 inches, while her brother

his door in the morning he blows his Al
pine horn, usually made of birch bark, and
his little herd, obedient to the accustomed
call, come up to the hut to be MIXED. The
Sem leads solitary but very industrious
life, for his time is fully occupied in milk
ing, keeping the cows on the range and
making the cheese and butter. About
once in two weeks supplies are sent up from
the village and the butter and cheese are
taken down the mountain to be divided
among the owners of the cattle. A good
deal of cheese is also made in the valleys,
but a large part of the Schwelzer kase,
known and relished all over the world, Is
made by these herders during their sollta-
ry life in the mountains
Perhaps many of the consumers of Roch-
fort cheese imagine that it is made OF COW
milk. The fact is, however, that genuine
Rochfort is made entirely of ewes milk
and is distinctive product OF very small!
district at Rochfort, among the limestone
! mountains of the Cevennes in the south OF
France. The art of making Rochfort
cheese was perfected there at least nme
centuries ago and it has been handed
down through many generations. Inc
most neculiar feature of its manufacture
and the one which accounts for the dis
tinctive qualities of the cheese is that 1t Is
s'riped' deep under the surface in natural
limestone caves with which this region
abounds and in which the temperature Is
low and equable the year round. In no other
Mace can the cheese be made to take the
real properties of the Rochfort. Caves
have been excavated in other places for
the purpose of making cheese identical IN
characteristics with the real Rochfort, but
the real article has never yet been pro-
duced away from its native home In
some wears about 10, 900, 900 pounds OF
Rochfort cheese are made from the milk OF
400, 900 ewes.
The round Dutch product known as
Edam cheese has one popularity that Is
shared by few other cheeses in the world
markets. The factory methods of cheese
making have been so far perfected that, as
a rule, factory are regarded as superior "
homemade cheese in the same district.
Practically, all the cheeses exported from
Canada. the largest cheese exporting coun-
try in the world, are factory products
Enormous quantities of Edam cheese are
made both in factories and at the home of
the Dutch peasant farmers, and nobody
can detect any difference between the fac
tory and the home made product. 1t is
Edam cheese wherever it is made in the
district that produces it; this district is con
fined to the region north of Amsterdam
and west of the Zuider Zee, a region of
holders or reclaimed lands, rich in grass
and noted for its dairy farms and its ia
nous mixers. Somebody who was much
impressed with these cows yielding seven
Gallons of milk day called them "ambu-
lating milk springs, the compliment seems
to be well deserved. Edam cheese Is
made from their bounteous yield OF milk
Tourists who visit the Dutch market town
of Alkmaar may sometimes see as many
as 200. 900 of these little round cheeses
ready to be shipped to various parts OF the
world.
