BIGGEST CHEESE
EVER MADE
Weighs 10000 Pounds and Will
Require 1870, OOOsGallons
Of Milk.

An American cheese Weighing oveI
10000 pounds, three times as largs
as the biggest cheese ever made in
the world, will be built here this
summer by N. Simon, the American
cheese expert, for the National Dairy
Show association.
Last year Mr. Simon built a choese
which weighed little over 1000
pounds, the laa-g st in the history OF
the dairy industry, and it scored 95
per cent. at the National Dairy
Show in Chicago.
1t seems almost incredftable that s.
tons, or 10000 pounds of milk and
cream will be required for the con
struction Of just one cheese, but IL
will take fully that much to fill Che
contract.
1t will require all the milk from
6 800 cows for one day, all pure bred
animals, probably worth fully $780,
900. Fully 1850 men will be required
to do the milking. The milk will be
furnished by 500 sanitary dairies,
valued at over 100000.
But securing the milk is only a
small part of the construction of such
mammoth cheese. 1t will require
the combined effort of nearly 50
experienced men to make the choose.
Eighteen expert cheesemakers and
% to 80 experienced helpers will
work together, under the supervisios
of Mr.. Simon.
The cheese, being of such an enor-
nous size, will have to be built en-
specially constructed flat car, and
then special and exceptionally larg9
refrigerator will have TO be constzuc-
ted ON the car to carry the cheese
until time for the exhibition, October
26 to November 4.
This worlds greatest cheese is not
to be made merely for exhibition pur-
poses, butit is to be entered into
competition with the Amer.oan cheese
made in Illinois, New York and either
dairy states

MANY MARRY
ON APPROVAL
Ancient Wedding Custom Still
Exists in One Part
of Globe.

An ancient custom OF holding
May fair for selecting brides and
bnde7grooms on triad still exists in
some Villages OF the Eifel districts
in Germany.
On the day of the fair the young
men and women who have been nOti-
fled standsi n groups on adjacent hill
locks, their names being inscribed on
a roll in that possession OF the
air officials, who sit around O table
between the groups. The ages OF
the young men are stated ON the roll,
but not those OF the girls, says am
exchange.
MAIDS are then called forward by
name in order of their age, the old
est coming first, and one of the girls
Is called TO meet him; il naither OBJ
jects the young woman is presented
with a wedding ring and the couple
are declared duly welded for a year
on approval.
At the end OF the year they may
separate and each is free 10 marry
again; or If they are not quite sure
whether they will be happy. they can
arrange TO separate for a day or two
before the next fair and then be we'd
ded again for another year. II

the marriage becomes binding for life
or IL any family Is born the union is
also valid for life.

the community, who did not put up
with nonsence about maidenly coy
ness.
Nowadays it is generally arranged
before hand to call together only thos
couples who have been counting. The
system has worked with good results
for centuries and will probably last
some while yet, until the farming dis
tricts become crowded with factories
and towns.

CRUISE COMMITTEE MEETS.
Many Details of Upper Peninsula Ex-
cursion Taken Up.

At meeting of the arrangements
committee for the Upper Peninsula De-
velopment bureau excursion to Detroit,
attended by a. +. Roberts of Mar
quette, many matters of detail in con-
nection with the coming cruise were
considered. From reports from various
parts of the peninsula, the success of
the cruise is assured and it may be
stated with certainty that the boat will
be filled to its capacity, when it sails
from st. Ignace at noon, Sept g.
AS the complete program of enter
tainment while in Detroit has not yet
been received, there is little new to
be said concerning the cruise at pres
emit The meeting at Escanaba yester-
day was taken up with plans for trains,
allotment of staterooms, methods of
financing. etc, which are of little in
terest to the public in general.
Applications for state rooms and
boat accommodation are now being
received. and the checks accompanying
such applications should be made out
to Morgan w. Jopling, treasurer. APP
plications may be sent to Mr.. Jopling
at Marquette or may be turned in to
any member of the executive commit
tee of the bureau, one of whom resides
in every county. The Escanabans say
that forty from there will make the
trip and that as many are coming
from Menominee. The copper coun-
try will send good sized delegation
The boat will hold but $50 people, two
in a stataroom, and those who expect
to so, will do well to apply for reserva-
tons early.

The gigantic operation OF draining
and sewaging the city of Berlin is
about to be completed after thirty
eight years of labor and the expendi-
ture OF 100000. When the work
was begun in 1873 the capital had only
100000 inhabitants; now IL has 2,163,
1000, excluding the suburbs. The total
length of the canalization pipes, which
are of iron and earthenware, is just
over 795 miles. This includes the rain
water tubes, which run into the lower
Spree, and, the sewage conduits. which
extend TO the municipal sewage farms
around Berlin. The beneficial effect
of the modernization of Berlln's sys-
tenn of drainage is shown by the dimi-
mutton OF the cases of typhus fever
from 1.4O per 1000 in 1872 to O,O4 per
