STANDPOINT A
COMING TOWN.

Will F. Whitaker, prominent
business man of Standpoint, Idaho,
Is at the Grand.
Standpoint has had wonderful
growth in the last year" said Mr.,
Whitaker. "Of course, there is

ng town of northern Idaho. 1t has
had no boom at all, just steady
growth. The Humbird Lumber
company's mill has a capacity of
100000 feet per week and in the
mill and timber employs several
hundred men"
Asked II the location of the Pan
handle smelter had been definitely
decided upon. he said:
mo. but It Is generally conceded
It will be at Standpoint. as there is
R good natural location there for
It and as the two railways, the
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific, are but mile apart at Sand
point, by putting in spurs the
smelter could draw on several good
mining districts"

it he aroused no suspicion.

RIPENING OF CHEESE.
A Recent Discovery which II IL Ex-
pected VIII RevoIutiOnizs
the Business.

A hitherto unknown element in milk.
new ferment, has been discovered.
called galactose, which is proving Of
value in the ripening of cheese. The
properties Of this ferment are similar
to the secretion OF the pancreatic or
gan in the human body, says Scrib-
ner's. Old cheese is a predigested food,
and the digestion is wrought by the
galactose. 1t was found that the galac-
tose would go on working at very low
temperatures, temperatures at which
bacteria were practically inert. Cheese
was put into refrigerators and kept
frozen for months. Other cheese was
kept just above the freezing point. 1t
was found that the finest cheese IL
cured at from 40 TO so degrees Fahren-
heit. Practical cheese manufacturers
had maintained that so degrees was
the lowest temperature at which
cheese could be worked with out beco ON

covery will, it is believed, revolution

NOT LAVISH WITH KISSES.
Emperor William Reserves Such
Demonstrations Exclusively
for Royalty.

Emperor William of Germany has
the kissing habit, but he is not pro-
miscuous in INDUCING it. He kissed
Prince Henry when the latter returned
from his recent visit to this country.
AS a matter of fact, says a London ex-
change, although Emperor William is
the greatest kisser of men among the
sovereigns of the world, he is also a
hearty hand-shaker and the freest of
all monarchs in this particular. In
deed, he and the king of Italy are the
only supreme rulers who shake hands
at all with other than brother sover-
eigns.
The kaiser reserves his kisses for
royalty exclusively. When he visits
a monarch or receives a visit from one
he salutes him with six kisses-three
on each cheek. This sometimes be-
fore a crowd of thousands Of onlook-
ers, not to mention a regiment or so
of soldiers
But the war lord will shake hands
with almost anyone. He has a grip
that is famous among his subjects, too,
and the favor of his hand clasp is not
assiduously sought by those who have
had some experience with it. His
majesty has big strong hand, with
muscles like iron. They have been cul-
tivated by many years Of sword ex-
ercise. His handshake is one that is
not soon forgotten, and when he
greets a visitor with a handshake they
say at court: "His majesty has made
another lasting impression"
This grip, it is only fair to say, he
reserves for strong men. For the OPP
posite sex he has a hand that is as soft
as velvet and courtesy that is elegant.
