Cheese From Trees.

A German traveller reports that the
negroes of the Kamerun country, in
Africa, make a cheese of which they
are very fond from the seeds Of tree
known as Treculia Africana. They
cook the seeds, and then she'll and
crush them into semiliquid mass
After flavoring the mass with pepper
and pouring off the liquid, they mold
it into cakes Of grayish-white color
that at first do not taste at all like
cheese. The pembe, as the natives
call the stuff, has to ripen just like
ordinary cheese. To this end, the ma
tives expose the cakes to the air. The
color gradually changes from gray to
yellow, and finally to brown. During
the process the cakes smell like
cheese. but later have a distinctly
sour odor. When ripe, they taste like
strong cheese; and. in fact. as they
are formed by the same bacterial
changes that give favor to our own
cheeses, it is quite correct to call this
native delicacy cheese from q tree

Electric PouItIees for Colds.

Doctors are recommending to pa
tients suffering from stiff necks, bruis-
ss, and similar ailments the electric
poultice, a new and ingenious inven-
ton calculated to take the place Of the
bread and linseed variety.
1t consists OF flexible electric wires
covered with asbestos and wrapped up
in pad or cushion. The poultice is
connected by wire to an ordinary cleo
trio light switch, and it retains the cor
rect temperature all night. There are
three grades Of temperature, regulated
by a switch, the highest grade being
100 degrees Fahrenheit
The initial cost Of the poultice is
s0s., and it lasts for life. Its running
cost is roughly 1kd. an hour, varying
according to the charges of the cleo
trio light company The poultices may
be obtained in any size or shape.

Not least among trees which have
become celebrated are two giant trees
at Canosa, near Ragusa, that pearl
of the Adriatic." Within three hours
walk Of Ragusa, on an elevation
above the tideless sea, lies the IA
nous garden Of Count Gozze. From
a primitive landing place a path leads
up between olives and pomegranates,
myrtles and oleanders to the level
spot where the two colossal trees
have stood from time immemorial'
The effect of the larger tree upon q
spectator standing beneath 1t is posi-
lively overwhelming. 1t takes twenty

MADE GOOD DANCING MUSIC
convivial Party Had Reasons for De-
string Further Rendering Of
"Watch on the Rhine"

The following story comes from
Germany, and pretends to recite facts
only facts. Diagonaily across the
street from my lodging, says the teller
of it, there is a restaurant, which has
two dining-rooms set side by side,
both very much frequented of Sun
day evening. One room is the chos-
en- resort of the Society for the En-
couragement Of Patriotic Music. The
other room is used by the Candymak-
ers' Social club. Last Sunday the
musical society gave a concert in its
room, while the confectioners had a
ladies evening in theirs. Naturally
the patriotic musicians rendered the
watch on the Rhine" without the
least suspicion that in the next room
the gentlemen eonfectioners and their
ladies were dancing to the music thus
provided gratis.
When the patriots had done THE
Watch on the Rhine" twice over to
their entire satisfaction there was a
pause. Then the door-the door lead

Thank you, but you needn't go to

reply. and Tom ought to have felt

He was not seen again for four days,
duty having called him away. The
two girls rode ont every day on ponies
selected for them, and on the fourth
occasion something happened. The
pony ridden by Miss Bessie suddenly
bolted and when she found him be
yond control she could only cling to
the saddle and hope he would tire
himself out after running couple of
miles. But he didn't. He kept a
straight course and a headlong gallop
for mile after mile. and the girl was
thinking of throwing herself from the
saddle when COW pony ranged up
beside her, hand grasped her loose
rein, and a voice said in her ear:

After terrific pace for another

had been told, Miss Bessie asked for
the second time:

LESSON IN FARM MARKETING
How One Producer Raised the Price
and Made Sale, Which His
Competitor Lost.

Two farm wagons stood in a publ,
market, both loaded with bags Of po-
tatoes. A woman stopped before the
first.
How much are potatoes today7"
she asked.
Ninety cents bushel.r said the
owner
"Oh, my" exclaimed the woman.
THAT seems high; paid only So
cents for the last"
Taters'ye gone up said the
grower indifferently, and the woman
went over to the second wagon and
asked the same question The own.
er's manner was in marked contrast.
These are the best potatoes in the
market, ma'am," he said. Let me
show them to you and tell you why.
In the first place, raise the kind with
small eyes, so there'll be no waste in
peeling potatoes are too high now
adays to peel away. Then sort them
by sizes. In each bag you'll find q
large size for boiling. frying, and fancy
shapes and a medium size for baking.
The baking size cooks quickly, all
done at the same time, and saves coal
or gas, whichever you use. We wash
ell our potatoes clean at home, too,
You could put one Of these bags into
your parIor and not soil the carpet,
and you don't have to pay me for any
dirt. I'm getting 81 busheI for
them"

HOW TO VOTE

At the request of many women who will be first voters in the primary Tuesday, I have promised to answer several questions bearing upon the subject
 Our government is a government by political parties. Politics is absolutely clean, but politicians may not be so. Politics is applied religion and ap peals to all the best in man or woman Political parties used to have what is known as a convention system" to nominate candidates. This convention system has been superseded by the primary" method, in which from a large number of candidates one is se- iected for each office to be filled, and who becomes the nominee of that party for that particular office.
 That is all the primary is for, mere ly to select nominees. In the primary no one has any moral right to take a part ir the selection of candidates up- on any other party ticket than his own. It would be equivalent to enter ing the party convention of another party and insisting upon taking part in its proceedings.
 For this reason one who votes in the primary must ask for the party ticket which he expects to vote, as there is one ticket for each party. There are

blank spaces on the ballot where the voter can write in the name of any one he chooses, if the name which is printed on the ballot does not suit him. It does no good to write in the name of a candidate on another party ticket because such written name will count only on the ticket on which it is voted In other words, democrat cannot take a democratic ballot and write in the name of a republican who is on a re- publican ballot and have that name count as other than a democratic vote against the democratic candidate on the democratic ticket
 Anyone voting at the primary cannot afterwards sign the petition of any candidate who seeks to go on the bal lot as an independent nominee
 At the general election November 3 all of these party tickets are printed on one ballot, and no matter what party ticket one may have voted in the primary, he now has the choice of the entire ballot from which to select the men and the measures for which he expects to vote; and he can vote for one candidate upon one ticket and for another on another ticket, and scatter his vote as much as he pleases.
 There will be no initiative meas ures on the primary ballot, as pri- maries are only for the purpose of se- lecting candidates
