Foreign cheeses Mace in America.

Foreign Cheeses Made in America.
The making of foreign cheeses in
america has greatly developed during
Fhe last few years. When a man goes
to the market and asks for cheese
wsith q foreign name there is no GER
'tainty that he will get cheese that
is made On the other side of the At
stantic ocean. In the main these
ltcheescs are as good as those made
in the place from which they are e~-

npt, however, identical. Thus at q
Wisconsin convention attended by
Major Alyord about a year ago, q man
in the Audience declared that cer-
tain brand a6f cheese with a foreign
name was exactly the same whether
made III Wisconsin or in Europe
Major Alvord declared that this could

MAsAl TELL OF CREATION.
Close Resemblance to Old Testament
Narrahve-story Handed
Down for Ages.

Odpl. meFkef, OeElHdu OUCcEg
who has spent some ten years in
German East Africa, has written
a very interesting Photographed
monograph on the Nasal natives,
in which he describes not only the
manners and customs of that race,
but also their language and ira
ditions. According to Capt. Mer-
ker, the Nasal have had handed
down to them a story of the first
creation of the world and the hui
man race which bears a remark.
able resemblance to that cor.
tanned in the Old Testament. The
Nasal relate that:
In the beginning the earth was
a barren, dry desert, in which
there lived a dragon. Then God
came down from Heaven, fought
against the dragon and van
pushed it. There where God slew
the beast and poured out its
blood there arose a Paradise, lux
uriant with the richest vegeta.
ton. The native word for this
paradise is "kerio." Then God
created by His word sun, moon,
stars, plants and animals, and last
of all he made the first human
couple to arise.
'Hereupon follows a description
Of how God commanded the
couple in question to abstain from
eating the fruit of a certain tree,
and how on His one day paying a
visit, as was his custom, to Para.
disc, He found them guiltily try
ing to hide from Him. 1t was the
serpent here, too, who was at
fault, and the woman who had
succumbed to its temptation to
eat the fruit, The serpent, ac-
cOrding to the Nasal tradition,
had three heads, and was pun
ished by God by being commanded
to live forever in the "holes of the
earth"
The two human beings were
then driven out of the Garden of
Paradise by the morning star"
which was ordered to stand at the
gate to keep it. Then the human
race grew in number, and genealo-
gies are recorded very similar to
those in the Bible account, until
the first murder was committed
when a food was caused to ap-
pear. Instead of Noah a good old
man named Tumbainot was bid
den build a "wooden chest" and
betake himself into it with his be.
longings and animals of every
kind. From the ark, too, as in the
Bible story, Tumbanot sent out a
dove, but besides the dove he also
dispatched a vulture to find out
how the flood was looking. AT
the conclusion of the food a four
fold rainbow appeared as proof
Of the cessation of Gods ire.
The Jacobs ladder also plays a
part in the Nasal tradition, but
is used for a purpose very differ
ent from that in the Old Tesla
ment, being a means whereby God
climbs down from Heaven to visit
the human race on earth. Men
ton is also made of the native ira
ditiOn of the deception of the first
born, and of the law of circum-
cisiOn, the latter being sent
through Marumi, the Moses of the
Nasal. Moreover, the Nasal tell

commands not to have more gods
than one, not to kill and not to

CLOSE EARLY IN SCOTLAND
Thsater and Railway Stations Only
Places Drinks Are Served After
Ten O'Clock at Night.

III q man living IN OldsBOW VI
Edinburgh, Scotland, wishes to
obtain alcoholic refreshments
after ten O'Clock at night he must
either purchase a railway ticket
or a seat at a theater.
Up till last May the closing time
for public houses in those cities
wal IL o'clock, but since then a re-
Gently passed act has made it com
pulsory for them to shut upat ten.
The results to a visitor are curl
GUS ind striking. In Edinburgh, on
a recent night, between the hours
of nine and ten, l saw public
houses in prominent parts of the
city where men stood four deep at
the counters anxious for refresh
ment before the house closed.
They stood at the bars silent and
determined.
At ten up went the shutters and
out came the customers into the
street, and | was in the midst of a
great city full of light and hustle,
where numberless shops were
still doing a busy trade, where
the streets were thronged with
people going and coming, and
where every public house and
every restaurant with a license
was closed to the ordinary trav-
eler.
The only place of refreshment
was a confectioner's shop, where
chocolate and ginger beer could
be purchased.
Truthfully, Edinburgh did not
seem to mind its deprivation, and
the crowds went on their way
cheerfully. Among the moving
throng between ten and eleven
saw a few drunken men, but not
many. Edinburgh, with it's main
streets filled with lively crowds,
was strikingly orderly and sober.
AS to "shebeening," as the re-
suit of the new law, there seems to
be but little that did not exist be-
fore. Nor is club drinking large
ly on the increase. People take
away drink from the public houses
and consume it either on the
streets or at home, but not to an
extent to brighten the reformers
"Whenthe new rule was frstes-
tablished," said a prominent pc.
lice official, "the regular drinkers
resented it and out of sheer bra.
vado they drank more than ever.
with the result that we got an in.
creased number of charges.
"Some of them would even
bring bottles of whisky around
here in front of the police of.
fee and drink their contents and
then smash the bottles on the
pavement in defiance. The nat.
ural effect of the ten o'clock clos
ing, however, is nOwshowing itself,
and in the last three months we
have had a steady diminution OF
charges"
One license holder says thatnot
long ago some young men, on the
approach of ten, secured a supply
Of whisky and then adjourned tc
an ice cream shop, where they
drank it at their leisure, diluted
with ginger beer.
"There are only two instances
where one can get drink here now
after ten" said a Scotsman al
Glasgow. "They are the railway
stations, if you are a traveller, and
the theaters where, if you have
taken a seat, you can get served
till the curtain falls. Many of us,
hard driven by necessity after ten
o'clock, have been compelled ia
witness some portion of your Lon.

But what shall be done with the

Ate So Pounds OF Beef.

Dubuque, Ia.-Hia stomach dis
tended to three times it's normal size
after he had eaten IS pounds Of raw
beef, "Phil" Melloy, who posed as
the worlds champion eater, died IN
terrible agony here today. He vas
found on the floor Of his bed room by
his wife, with his hand on his stom-
soh, and his face distorted as if in
tense suffering had preceded death.
An autopsy was performed by six doc
tors, and they found the walls of the
stomach literally permeated by the
juices of the meat.
A week ago Melloy issued chal-
lense to any man in the woE!a to- ea.
against him for wager Of $500. He
was intensely proud Of his gastrono-
mic feat, and it was the taunting Of o
dozen youths that drove him to death.
On Sunday afternoon Melloy met the
youths in resort in the heart of the
city. Talk turned to his wonderful
performances in eating, and Melloy
boasted nc could cat ss55 pounds &C &C bee!
in twenty 'hours. One Of the young,
men in the party then offered to bet
Melloy 800 that he could not eat the
amount. Melloy hesitated in accept
ing the bet, and was laughed at for
".quitter." Hs was called .fakir''
and "four fusher," and was.told that
any one in the party could equal him
at eating when at his best.
Unable to bear the derision, Melloy
finally said he would make the bet.
The money was staked and fresh beef
was obtained from o packing house.
Two doctors pronounced it Of excel
lent quality, and Melloy was locked
with it in room. A guard was
placed overthe room. and at the .sad

Various reasons have been given 10

Judas's Money.

Tradition and legend supply long
history Of the thirty pieces Of silver
paid to Judas for the betrayal of
Christ, Of one of which Mark Fisher
Of this city, thinks he was robbed re-
ntly, says ,he New York Sun. A
series Of traditions would carry it
back 10 ne time of Terah, father of
Abraham; for his hands, We are told,
fashioned aud made the thirty pieces
of silver" which were kept intact
from that time until icy were used
as the purchase money for the potter's
field, or field Of blood"
Terah having made them, Abraham
took them with him when he left
Chaldea, and used them as part of the
purchase money for the cave of
Machpelah. They appear next in
the hands Of the Ishmaeli,es, who
paid them to Joseph's brethren when
they sold him into bondage.
AS the Biblical version Of the story
says that only twenty pieces
of silver was the price paid for
Joseph, We must conclude, in order to
keep the thirty pieces intact, either
that the other tea were paid with
them for some other purchase, or ac-
cept the statement made by writer
in the fourteenth century that "For
thrift pens they :sold that childe."
However, this may be, tradition
says that these same pieces Of silver
came into the possession of Joseph
himself when his brethren went down
into Egypt to buy corn. On the
death of JACOB they found their way
into the royal treasury of Sheba,
where Joseph sent them to pay for
spices to embalm his father.
Here they remained, uDdisturbed,

ally, as part of his share of the plum
