sTILToN CHEESE.
II Differs In the Making From the Or
binary Cheese.

2 Stilton cheeses differ from ordinary
cheeses in the method of manufacture
Each Stilton is made In a circular
mold. or vat, two feet deep and about
nine inches in diameter. perforated at
the sides and bottom. When the milk
has been turned into curd by means of
rennet 1t is transferred into the vat,
which is lined with a coarse woven
cloth, with ladle. When a thin layer
of curd covers the bottom of the mold
little dry salt is sprinkled over it.
This is supposed to create the blue
mold often found In Stiltons. Then
more curd is added in layers until. the
vat is full. The whey gradually drains
through the cloth and out Of the holes
into the pan in which the vat stands.
After the curd has stood for twenty

AFTER MANY YEARS
RoekIand Man Returns Sword to Its
Original Owner.

Rockland. Me. April Edgar A.
Burpee, who served as captain of Co. /,
18th Me. Inf, forwarded to Reading.
Penn. Monday sword which was
surrendered to him at the battle of
Spottsylvania courthouse in May. 1864.
The sword goes back to its original
owner. Lieut.. Levi Quier, and its res
titution. after 46 years. forms quite a
little romance.
The 18th Maine Infantry was part of
the division which charged the bloody
angle" at Spottsylvania courthouse.
Co did not reach the Notifications
until the center. of the line had gone
over the angle. but Immediately be-
came engaged on one of the sides with
masses of Confederate troops.
As Capt. Burpee leaped over the
breastworks he encountered a Rebel
who shouted: Il surrender, captain;
take my sword, but give me chew of
tobacco" Capt. Burpee found n supply
OF tobacco for the man and sent him to
the rear. Subsequently Capt Brpee
became n prisoner of war himself. but
his sword and other possessions were
returned to him.
He learned in 1883 through the adiu-
tant general of Pennsylvania that
Lieut.. Quier was living in Reading, that
state. Capt. Burpee's letter offering to
restore the sword met with a courteous
put diMdent response and he dropped
the matter. He had learned, however.
that the sword had been presented to
Lieut.. Quier by citizens OF Reading and
that the lieutenant had lost II in
Shenandoah valley. where 1t was nre.
sumably found by the Confederate who
afterward surrendered it to Capt Bur
pee.
: Two weeks ago a son of Lieut. Ouier
wrote to the postmaster of this city to
know If Mr. Burpee was still living.
Being furnished with the latter's ad-
dress, he wrote that he had come upon
Capt. Burpees letter among some of
his fathers possessions and requested
that the sword be returned if Capt.
Burpee desired To renew the offer made
% years before. Capt Burpee had not
changed his mind and the sword was
forwarded.

do they still remain on the skin? The

vcntion spoke in part as follows:
I'VE can make no adequate answer
to the address Of your temporary chair
man, Senator Beverdge, at this time.
The real answer will be made at the
polls in November"
We are all OF us for the reelection
Of Albert ]. Beveridge to the Senate
in 1911. In this campaign, so far as it
affects national politics, the reelection
of Senator Beveridge has become the
Overshadowing issue, on account of the
principles in wich we all believe and
for which he has stood and continues
to stand in the United States Senate.
The Republicans of Indiana have
equal faith in the rugged honesty, great
capacity and ultimate triumph of the
Chief Executive of the nation, William
II. Taft. We are in full sympathy
with the remedial legislation that he
has recommended to Congress. 1t re-
quires no prophet to foresee that two
years hence he will be the unanimous
choice of the Republican party for re-
election. / venture to say further that
in his campaign he will have no more
loyal supporters, no more able gen.
erals. no more aggressive and deter
mined fighters than Albert j. Beveridge
and Theodore Roosevelt"
