the cheese was taken to Captain Dan.
lei Browns cheese house to be cured.
Its weight one month from the time IL
was pressed was 1926 pounds. The
moving Of the cheese from the cider
press to Captain Browns was made n
great occasion. The people turned out
again, and the cheese was followed by
a big procession. Moses Wolcott, who
kept the tavern" gave feast to all
present and thereby linked his name to
this part of the towns history.
The following December the great
cheese was sent to Washington I'm
charge of Elder Leland and Darius
Brown. There were no railroads In
those days and 1t was drawn on q sled
to Hudson, n. Y, and shipped from
there by water. The presentation of
the cheese to the president was an
event of moment In Washington. The
presentation was made Mt the White
House in the presence Of the cabinet,
foreign diplomats and other notables.

terms Of the great esteem In which he
was held by the people from whom the
gift had come.-Springfeld Republican.

Doing Things on Time May He Car

An eminent physician Mt recent

meet Office and outside engagements,
always preconsidcring the amount of
time that will be required and timing
the next engagement accordingly. Of
ten We subdivide this time and note by
our watches exactly how long we can
discuss a subject.
Doubtless punctuality Is q virtue.
Doubtless also the practice of doing
things exactly on time has won for us
as people n large measure Of indus
trial success. But, carried to an ex-
trcme, rs it often Is, it is wearing to
the individual. The people whose
nerves break down from exhaustion
Incident to overwork are often not so
much the victims Of overwork rs the
habit of compresslng every bit of work
within prearrangcd limits of time. Let
any one try the experiment of doing n
given piece of work steadily and with
application, but without noticing by
his watch or clock how much time he Is
consuming, and he will be amazed to
find how much easier it will go than
when he is timing himself and schcm-
Ing to bring the prescribed task within
a fixed number of minutes.
We know great deal more about
sanitary matters than our fathers and
grandfathers knew. We have hunted
down microbes. We have concocted
serums. Diseases which were once re-
garded as visitations of Providence we
now know to be prcventable, and we
take suitable means of preventing
them. All these discoveries and new
remedies ought to diminish the death
rate and to promote longevity. They
have not done so, as n matter of fact.
Perhaps they might do so If they had
tair chance. The trouble is that along
with these devices for lengthcning life
we are adopting practices which tend
to shorten 1t. One of the most wear
Ing Of these Is the habit of bringing all

SAMPLES or LOWER TAXES.
Tax Commissioners Make Up List Show ing
Decreases.

The Tax Commissioners will begin the
signing Of the tax lists on Tuesday, and
on the following Monday the books will
60 to the Aldermep for the levying Of the
tax. The Commissioners have prepared some
examples to show that with the full-value
assessment on realty the rate is 80 low that
the tax is less than before. But while the
figures. which are appended, are stated to be
typical of all the revisons appearing in the
tax books, there are hundreds Of instances
in which owners of real estate will have to
pay larger tax than last year. The e1-
panaton of this. as given by the Tax Com
mssioners, is that the property holders
who will be called upon to pay a higher
levy than before are people who hitherto
have been able. through political and other
influences, TO get unduly low assessments.
These are some of the entries taken from
the tax books, but the estimated tax for
this year will be even lower than is shown
because the figures. for 1903 are based on
an estimated rate of Las, whereas it ia now
definitely known that the new tax rate will
be as low as lao, against 2.27 in 1902:
