StiIton Cheese.

The secret of making StiltOn cheese
was for some time confined to the fans
lily of the original inventors, who were
under an engagement to sell all they
could make to the famous Cooper
Thornhill of Stilton. Being thus to be
obtained of him alone, it received the
appellation of Stilton cheese, but it
would have been more appropriately
named Wichcote cheese, being first
made in that village, on the eastern
side Of Leicestershlre, about thirty
miles from Stilton.-London Standard.

Managing a Husband.

Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let them dream that you think so. No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man
aging! It is an art so SUBTLE. so elu-
sive, that few women understand even
the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let
us reason together, says Woman's
Life. In every human being there is
a spark of the. divine; it is yours to
fan that spark into a fame-that is
managing a man-it is to get the very
best out of him there is to have, and
not two women in ten can do it.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing a man-to
bring out the best is a high vocation.
Only let us see to it that we are
worthy Of it. There are women who
have made angels of men, but at the
cost Of their own divinity. There is
room for more than one unselfsh per.
son in a family.

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY Is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark It az
Most Suitable Spot for Dedl.
cation of Great Work,

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with 4
great International Exposition In
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at it's ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are %contesting for the honor of hold.
Ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums of
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance sc great an enterprise,
An Exposition worthy of the term
"World's Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed.
ucat1onal movement. Its success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
ton who can secure it's educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up.
on its location, as the time in travel.
Ing to and from the. Exposition, and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi.
ton. seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500. miles from the
center of population in the United
States. San Francisco is 2.6ON mi1es
distant therefrom.
Within a radius Of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 1850, 900
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 1000, 900.
Within a radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are IS, 900, 900.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 5000. 900.
At n average Of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 20,000,OO Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only 8 large cities, with a COM
bined population of just 1000, 900.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over rs per cent. of the people Of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, AS
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions Of u people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
%portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques-
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many Of readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama EXPOSE
ton, and. If held in New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
fore, we urge our readers to write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or
leans in the contest.
