Strengthen AsiatIe Fleet.

OF course there is no Significance
10 the withdrawal of three Of the yes
seas composing the European squad
ron. the Albany. the Cincinnati and the
Raleigh. and their assignment to the
Asiatic fleet, according to officials in
the state and navy departments.
There Is never any significance In the
strengthening Of any feet in Asiatic
or European waters If the powers di-
Fecting this Strengthening Of our
s4uadrons in foreign waters are to be
believed, but the fact remains that the
biggest squadron ever assembled of
tue coast of China is already an ac.
complished fact
The assignment Of the three cruisers
above named Is taken to mean that
the European squadron will not 20 to
Rtel to attend the maneuvers of the
German navy. In fact II Is stated at
the navy department that no orders
have been issued for the European
squadron to assemble at KieI. and ac-
cordir-g to those in a position to know
such action is not contemplated by
Secretary Moody.

WRESTLING GOSSIP.

The news of the formation of a
wrestling league to prevent frauds and
fake matches on the mat, which was
proposed by Sam Fitzpatrick recently,
has spread to England. Tom Scott of
the National Sporting Club. London,
who is a wrestling enthusiast himself,
is agitating the organization of a sim
liar league in England, and the chan
ces are that the idea will come to a
head. In England wrestling bouts
have to be honest because the public
will not attend a match in which a
principal under suspicion completes.
AS a rule, in England a wrestler who
once fakes it has a hard row to hoe
afterward, no matter what his ability
may be-.

CHEESES OF ALL COUNTRIES
Some Familiar Kinds That Have Be-
come Well Liked In the
United States.

Each country has it's favorite cheese.
The Swiss make the gruyere cheese. 1t
is made of goats milk, and is full of
holes, caused by the gases in fermenta-
ton. The typical English cheese is the
cheddar, first made in the English town
after which it is named.
Brie is a popular French soft cheese;
and camembert, originating in Nor
mandy, is another. These cheeses are
cured in caves, where the temperature
never rises above II to IA degrees.
Roquefort, a celebrated French
cheese, is made from the mingled milk
of goats and sheep that browse on the
thyme-clad banks of the Arno. These
cheeses are also ripened in caves, but
the temperature is kept at 40 degrees.
Akin to the roquefort cheese is that
called gorgonZola, made in Italy after
similar processes. 1t is milder than
rGquefort, and not quite so good; but
1t sold much cheaper. Another Italian
cheese, the parmesan, is very hard, and
is usually grated.
Limburger cheese. so beloved by the
Germans, originated in Belgium. 1t is
extraordinarily rich, being allowed to
ripen by putrefaction, hence it's hor-
rifying odor to unaccustomed nostrils.
Some persons have a saying: Cor
gonzola is a cheese to swear by, lin

Collecting Fares in Canada.


''There are all kinds of ways for col
lecting fares on the street cars, but
one that l saw recently in Canada was
certainly unique if not particularly
up to date" says G. M. P. Holt. u
was taking a ride on the four mile
trolley road raining between Sher-
brook and Lenoxille, in Canada. The
first thing that met my eyeon entering
the car vas the sign, Nothing
changed over 81 l don't see exactly
why they were SO particular about the
matter, as it didn't strike me that the
class of passengers makes a practice
of carrying ten dollar and twenty
dollar bills only. But what tickled
me the most was the fare taking that
occurred soon after. The conductor
came down the aisle carrying in his
hand a curious-looking arrangement
that resembled a large, square dark
lantern. 1t had a handle attached
which the conductor graSped, and
when he showed it toward my face
and said fare | perceived that it had
a glass front and a slit in the top
where you dropped your nickel or
ticket, and then could see the same go
down to the bottom. "-Springfeld,

MASSAGE BY THE BLIND.
London Institution to Open New Oc-
cupatiOn for Which They Are
Peculiarly Adapted.

There is to be a very new field of
work opened for the blind by the Lon
don Institute for Massage by the Blind,
which is about to be started under a COM
mittee that includes many representa-
tive medical men. 1t is not an expert
ment. 1t has proved that the blind "a
become expert in the practice of mas
sage, which in Japan is commonly rec
ognized as their work, reports the Phil
adelphia Press. Fhe occupations open
to the blind are few and rarely remuner-
ative. The difficulty is one of the gravest
obstacles to the improvement of the
condition of this afflicted class. There
are already several blind masseurs in
that country. Some 6 500 is needed, and
central rooms are then to be secured
under a hospital matron. Blind stu
dents must obtain first-class medical GER
tificates in an art which is daily more
used, especially by surgeons in sprains
and bruises, and masseuses will be al
lowed to treat only women and children
and masseurs only men. The whole
scheme needs only to be mentioned to be
approved. 1t is also worthy of note that
the blind are usually endowed with a
sense of touch exceptionally fine, so
that here, and perhaps here alone, is a
field in which they may surpass their
seeing brothers, massage being depend
ent for it's success upon the nicely of
it's application, dependent in its turn on
the nicely of the operators tactile sense.

Permanent Executioner.

In Greece the death penalty is said
to be often pronounced, but the diff
ficulty of obtaining ex%ecutioners was
for a long time almost insuperable. 1t
was at last surmounted by giving to
a murderer the choice between his own
death or acceptance of the office of
permanent executioner. The man lives
alone in an old tower built by Vene-
tians on an islet outside the port of
Nauplia, where necessaries are taken
to him every morning by the boat
man, who is careful to exchange nc
word with him. Twice a year a steam
er calls for him and his Instruments of
