Much Cheese.

The National Dairy show is going
to have another mammoth cheese
on exhibition at the coming show
to be held in Chicago at the Inter-
national Live Stock amphitheater
October &c to November 4, 1911
This time it is going to be the
greatest ever" The cheese exhi-
bited at the last show weighed over
1000 pounds and was the largest
cheddar cheese ever made. This
years cheese will weigh over TO-
900 pounds and will take 65 tons
of milk and cream from $500 COWS
MIXED by 1850 men. Eighteen
expert cheese makers and rs as
sistants will be employed in the
construction of the cheese which
will be transported to Chicago in a
specially constructed refrigerator
occupying an entire fiat car.
The entry comes from N. Simon
of Wisconsin, who also made the
big cheese last year. 1t is not built
alone for exhibition purposes, but
will be of the finest commercial
quality. The worlds greatest cheese
will undoubtedly attract widespread
attention and every means will be
adopted by the officials of the
National Dairy show for exhibiting
it in the most attractive manner.

A singular incident is related by
Miss Grace Williams OF Wabash
Crossing. Four years ago she was
wearing an opal ring. She became
superstitious of the stone, for at
that time she suffered a broken
limb and underwent a serious spell
of typhoid fever. Just as she was
about to leave off wearing the
ring the stone fell from the setting
and rolled underneath the floor of
an old summer kitchen. Two years
ago. at the time of the food, this
kitchen was washed away. On
Thursday Of last week Miss Grace
was dressing young chicken. cut
ting into the gizzard she found the
stone. Being slightly worn was the
only change in its appearance. AL
though it will be a keepsake, Miss
Grace has grave fears of wearing
opals. st. Joe Observer.

An English observers data indicates
that there is relation between the
quantity Of dust and the temperature
OF the air. A great amount OF dust
It is thought, increases the tempera-
ture in the daytime and checks the
fall OF temperature at night
The reason is that the presence OF
dust serves as an obstruction to the
free radiation OF heat through the
air. The sunbeams pass through very
pure. clear air without lending much
heat to It, and at night the heat re-
ceived by the ground during the day
readily escapes through the same air;
but n the atmosphere Is heavily laden
with dust. the suns rays are partially
arrested by the particles which, be-
coming heated, in turn warm the air.

did not really mean to go, but now
as she put her hand on the knob he
became apprehensive. AS she opened

he felt quick pain at his heart that

Opinions on the Harem Skirts
Are Divided Like the Garment.

Opinions are divided, like the gar.
ment itself, concerning the beauty and
utility of the harem skirt. Already the
curious combination of skirt and trou.
sers has appeared in the large cities of
America as well as the old world. In
truth it must be said that the women
who have worn the harem skirt. or the
joupe culotte, to give it name that
comes from Paris, were actresses who
were eager to have their names and
pictures in the papers.
One of the features of the zoo in
New York's Central park is Hattie, an
elephant that plays the harmonica.
Hattie does not get much music out of
the instrument-who can?-but she
makes a noise, and she usually has an
audience when she performs. On a re.

cent Sunday afternoon Keeper Snyder
brought out Hattie and her harmonica
and prepared to entertain the crowd.
Just then a woman wearing harem
skirt appeared, and the concert was
called off. The crowd cared much
more for the entertainment offered by
the wearer of the trouserettes than
for an elephant playing a mouth organ
Keeper Snyder and Hattie returned to
the elephant house, and the sightseers
followed off after the harem skirt and
its satisfied wearer.

ers the case for and against the harem

to be commended, since it continues
the series of what may be called the
eccentric fashions which we have re-
ligiously followed for almost the whole
of the first decade of this century.
Now and then it is permissible to be
foolish and extreme, since it serves the
better to accentuate the charm of more
