Public sentiment is growing IN
favor of revision of our public school
system, says the Middletown Trans
cript, that will result in the establish
ment of graded schools accessible to
the children of distinctly rural dis
tricts. This is particularly so in the
more urgent. In this county with the
several towns conveniently situated
so that within q few miles of every
family there is graded school the
necessity is not so plainly felt. But
in Kent and Sussex there are num-
bers of districts with such a small
scholarship that it is serious matter
to keep up a school. There are, for
instance, four contiguous districts,
one with three scholars, one with
eight, the third with nineteen and the
fourth with but twenty-four, total
for the four districts of tifty-fOur,
about the number assigned to a sin
gle room in the MiddletOwn Schools.
Under a graded rural school system
these would furnish a nice school of
two rooms and the expense of main
tanning three schools would be saved.
The money now paid to four teachers
would reasonably compensate two
more competent teachers. The ex-
pense of getting the children to and
from school would be comparatively
small.
Our present system has been prac

states nave met the same. situation and
the graded rural school is the result
of their experience. Massachusetts,
Vermont and New Hampshire have il
covering the entire state, and the ma.
iority of the counties of Ohio have
adopted it. Under this system, hacks
are started from various parts of the
combined district and pick up the
various pupils at their homes on g
schedule, and deliver them to the
school house. After the school is dis
missed, the return journey is made

CHEESE MAKING.
A Profitable Farm Home Industry OF
Very Old Fashion.

Very Old Fashion.
The encouragement of the home in
dustry of cheesemaking ON the farm is
urged by Mrs. Nathan B. Cox of New
Hampshire in American CultivatOr.
From her experience, she says, it has
become almost lost art ON the farm,
so few people being found who under
stand the method of converting the
milk into that delicious substance call.
ed farmers cheese. Creamery butter
grows more and more popular and COM
mands a higher price usually than that
made on the farm, but not so with fac
tory cheese, for but few people can be
found who do not prefer the domestic
cheese to that turned out at the fac
tory
Very few farmers can afford the ap-
paratus for cheesemaking which fac
tories have and must therefore labor at
a disadvantage to obtain as good re-
suits. 1t would not pay to set up
cheese factory at home, but it has been
proved that good cheese can be made
and cured on the farm with but little
outlay at the beginning.
Our method of making cheese will
without doubt seem old fashioned to
up to date cheese manufacturers, and
SO it is We know nothing of the mod
ern way except by reading, and we
learned the same process our grand
mothers used. But as the cheeses
proved good and very salable, and,
knowing no other way, we have contin-
ued in the same routine, trying each
year to improve by experience. For
merly all cheeses made were kept at
least year before being placed on
the market, but now new cheese is in
more demand and yields more profit to
the maker.
Few farmers wives in New Hamp-
shire make cheese, but if they realized
that they could make from 80 to 80 per
cent more by so doing than to make
butter they would be ready for a
change. Butter is usually low in sum-
mer and especially in late spring, but
cheese can be made then the best Of
any time. One must expect some fail
ures, but do not get discouraged. Watch
the process carefully, noting what eff
fects certain conditions of the milk or
curd have on the cheese and avoid max
ing the same mistake twice if possible.

A DISRAELI EPISODE.
How the Statesman Took His Brandy
Neat In the Commons.

HOW the statesman TOOK HIS brandy
Neat In the Commons.
l was stationed in London nearly two
years during the seventies, when Dis
raeh was prime minister, and often
heard him speak, frequently saw him
upon Whitehall, walking home with
Lord Russell by his side, once ''inter-
viewed" him and witnessed the So
IDENTITIES of his elevation to an earl
dom. But the most characteristic and
thoroughly Disraelian incident l recall
has never been told.
About 1 o'clock in the morning, short
ly after the return of the earl from
Berlin bearing peace with honor" l
left the press gallery of the house to
go to the cable office. Passing stand
in the lobby where a stOop shouldered
woman was wont to sell spirits and
soft" drinks, l dropped into line with
half a dozen men and waited my turn
to be served. l paid no attention to the
man directly in front of me except to
notice that he was hatless and to COM
ment mentally upon the dangers of
such conduct in that cold and drafty
place.
'Sixpenny 'Orth O. brandy, neat"
said the broad shouldered little man
directly ahead The dame courtesied,
an unusual attention to a customer,
served the spirits. and the purchaser
drained the glass at a gulp.
"Put it on the book" said the GUS
toner as he replaced the glass upon
the counter. Then he turned, facing
me, and made his way through the
crowd toward the house of lords. The
man was unnoticed in the badly light
ed corridor, although his name was
ringing throughout the civilized world
the Earl of Beaconsfield!
The interesting feature of this epi
sode was not that his lordship took {
drink of brandy during long night
session, but that he had an accoun
with the woman tapkeeper and from
sheer force of habit had walked owe
to the commons end of Westminste
palace to get his brandy neat at tn
familiar place.-Julius Chambers i

Before the hand of fame dropped her
laurels lightly on his brow. to speak
POLITICALLY. Hall Caine was a publishers
reader and in that capacity held in his
hands the fate Of many a book. That
his good judgment was. not altogether
infallible is shown by the fact that he
read and, so it is said. rejected The
Romance of Two Worlds" which soon
afterward was published and became
the success Of the year.
On one occasion a budding author
managed to gain access to his office for
the purpose of submitting a book to
him.
Hall Caine took the manuscript from
the mans hands and glanced over it
for perhaps twenty minutes. Then he
gave it back. with a few words of sug-
gestion and criticism.
81 do not think. Mr. Caine," said the
ambitious writer. that you should dis
pose of my ideas in this summary fash
ion. That book cost me a years labor"
"Indeed!" said Mr.. Game. "My dear
fellow. an impartial judge would give
you at least ten!"

Ant Robbed by Lizard.

WnIlc walking along the road on the
outskirts OF Bordighera I noticed a
strange looking insect moving across it
In a peculiar way. On getting nearer I
saw that what had attracted my notice
was a black ant about an inch long
with brown wings dragging q cricket
bigger than itself. 1t held the cricket
by the head, and as the ant moved
backward it drew the cricket toward it.
While doing SO it entered the shadow
cast by my umbrella and instantly re-
leased its hold and got out of the shad-
Ow: but, finding there was no danger. if
returned and seized its prey again bv
the head and recommended its back
ward movement. A low wall ran along
side the road. and when the ant got
within six feet of it a common brown
lizard appeared on the top of the wall
and evidently soon caught sight of the
ant. for it ran quickly down the wall
and to within two feet Of it, where if
crouched for a second or two like a cat
ready to spring and then charged he
ant. apparently butting the cricket free
with its head. Before the ant could re-
gain it's hold the lizard seized the cricls-
ct in its mouth and darted up the wall
in the direction from which it original
~ appeared on the scene. leaving the
ant running round aud round. moving
its wings in an agitated manne vainly
searching for its lost prey.-Nature.

The Sensation Of Hunger

The sensation of hunger has not been
easy to explain. The new theory Of a
German physician is that it is due to
emptiness of the blood vessels of the
stomach. and it is pointed out that hun
ger is appeased with the rush Of blood
to the stomach following the taking of
food and beginning Of digestion. In
many annmic persons who have no APP
petite when the stomach is empty the
blood vessels are really congested in
stead of being empty. Lack of blood
in the stomach in health acts on a spe-
cial nerve. which is a branch of the
same nerve trunk as the nerves Of the
mouth and tongue. A stimulus applied
to the tongue. as by Il spice. thus in
creases appetite. while disease affecting
the nerves of the tongue may produce
loss of appetite ven when the stom-
acb is empty.

Ortonville journal: M. Diebold,
formerly one of the representative
farmers of this section, now q happy
resident of Zion City, ILL.,, the town
established by DR.. Alexander Dowie,
is in the city on business connected
with the Lac qui Parle County road
case. When seen by the Journal he
was enthusiastic in regard to the
future of the Dowie movement and
says he has found the ideal home for
himself and family, a place free from
crime and vice, and as near perfect
as can be found on this mundane
sphere. No person is allowed in the
city who uses or has in his possession
any tobacco, cigares, cigarettes or
liquor of any description or who uses
vulgar or obscene language. The
city now has a population of more
than 10. people all of whom came
to Zion City for the purpose of bring
ing up their families in a community
free from the temptations of the
average American city, He claims
Dowie is a gaeat and good man who
has had a divine call to do the work
at hand and of the ultimate success Of
the enterprise there can be no doubt.
Mr.. Diebold has about completed a
handsome residence on one of the
prominent ~boulevards of the city at a
cost of $4,000. He expects to make
Zion City his permanent residence,
and hopes to see some of his old
neighbors of this and Lac qui Parle
county establish themselves in this
model city of homes. In speaking
of the personality of Mr.. Dowie he
says he is a magnetic, keen man OF
affairs, who has a divine mission to
perform, and without doubt the great
est tinancier the world has produced
a man who praises things that are
good and deuounces at all times, in
vigorous language, those things that
are wrong. Mr.. Diebold denounces
the newspapers and the reporters who
distOrt the reports of the financial
affairs of Zion. cat no time was DR..
Dowie embarrassed financially. The
several industries are prospecting and
the inhabitants of the city are happy
and contented. The socialistic idea
has not been carried to the extreme,
every mar is allowed to work at what
he pleases, the same as in Ortonville,
but is bound to obey the ordinance OF
! the church and city. Should one SO
far forget himself as to disobey the
rules of the city he is invited to move

in which an old couple in the north of
England exc out a scanty income. Their
little cottage is situated nea a large

before descending to their work leave
their pipes and tobacco boxes in the
hands of the old folk. The pipes are
cleaned and filled ready for lighting,
and the miners can come up at the
dinner hour and enjoy a good smoke
without having TO expend time in
