65111113311 Ar STORE LIFE.
I;- Possesses Some Features Similar
to Those of a. Small Com-
- munity. ‘
1
“It would surprise an outsider to
know how much a great. retail store re—
sembles a town,’.’_ remarked a clerk in
such an establishment, reports theN ew
Orleans Times-Democrat. “It has all
the familiar cha1acters of a small com-
munity and all of its gossip, its circles
and inner circles, and. its class distinc—
tlions. In a modern department house
you will find certain social leaders and
their regulation system of satellites, all
fully developed. There will be one
group that goes in for frivolity, and an-
other group that goes in for literature
and art, and. people who are plotting
and scheming to get into this set 01
that, just as they do in the outer world.
It is very quaintand amusing. One em-
ploye will have a great reputation as a.
wit and another is spoken of as a re-
markable musical genius; certain sec-
tions of the establishment will be re-
garded as aristocratic, while others are
looked upon as rather plebeian. In
short, the store is a. little municipality
within itself, and its people are curious-
ly isolated from the outside public.
They revolve in their own particular
orbits, the gossip that flies about the
place deals with the people inside its
walls, and. they care very little for any
other neWS. Their feeling toward an—
other establishment is a good deal like
the feeling between two rival towns,
and the other folks in the city are all
more or less .aliens and outlanders. It’s
a very curious life, and has to be seen
from the inside to be fully understood.
Zola tried to paint- it in one of his nov~
els, but he- missed it. by miles.”
HOMES IN MANILA.
How People Live in Uncle Sam’s
Newly Acquired Asiatic
Territory.
The better houses in. Manila differ in
some ways from any otherin the world.
Always of two stories, the-re is a. high
stone basement, with a carriage way to
the court, where are the servants’ quar-
ters and domestic offices. The upper
story- is of wood, being complete in
itself, so that in case of an earthquake
it will settle. together. The ceilings are
covered with cloth insteadof plaster. A
wide stairway leads up from the ear-1
riage way. Between three and four
feet above the floor of this story is a.
wide window ledge with grooves run-
ning the whole length‘of every side.
In these grooves slide blinds and also
frames in which are set small squares
of oyster shell (called “conchas”). Both
blinds and conehas run the full length
of each side. Either or both can be
closed at the same time, and both can

end, leaving the whole sid-e open, and
allowing the air to circulate as freely
as in a. shed. The roofs were formerly
made. of heavy curved tiles. Now gal-
, vanized' iron is used, as it vastly de-
'cre-ases the chance of the roof falling
during an earthquake, and less-ens the
damage if it does. On the. other hand
the iron roof is much more likely to be
blown off by the terrible typhoons. The
native houses are built of bamboo, with
thatched roofs made of the leaf of the
nipa. palm and elevated from six to ten
feet- on bamboo poles. '
USED HIS BEST FRENCH.
But There II Some Doubt as to
Whether Monsieur Monvcl
Understood Him.
It was at the recent-De Monvel recep-
tion in Chicago, and one of the couples
standing in line didn’t know enough of.
French between: them to put at—the head
of a menu card. The young man
couldn’t even say: “Hang it!” in. any
other tOngue than his own, and the
young woman was earnestly endeavor—
ing to share the few scattered phrases
from the language of Cyrano and De
Monvel which sh e had painstakingly ac—
quired for the occasion, with him.
“Bon soir, M. Monvel,” she patiently
and persistently instructed him to say;
“un aifaire tres charmante,” and to this
the young fellow consented, albeit with
much reluctance and not a little
grumbling.
"I’ll bet it would do every bit as well
if I remc. z'ked ‘E pluribus unum’ or ‘auf
wiederselien,’ ” he complained. as they
drew near to the great man, and when
they stood in front of this magnificent
persct‘age his companion nearly faint-
ed. The young man's confidence and
self-assurance had deserted him entire-
ly. and “Good evening. .\_Ir. Monsieur;

Animal Epicurea.
In its stories of animal life theStrand
Magazine tells of an old sheep dog that
was used to keep foxes away from a
chicken farm and who did it success-
fully. Nevertheless tlie chickens would
disappear. Out of a brood of 25 there
would be left only three. The dog was
at last suspected. but as he would per—
mit the chickens to climb all over him
this was considered a libel. But close
watching showed that early in the
morning when none but chickens were
astir, of which the dog would make
, sure by listening at the house doors
and looking up at- llie windows. he
would turn to and ll‘t‘ll‘. himself to a
good square medl of chicken. Another
story is of a horse 1111!. having been

THE EVENING c.1121.
MAKIN G EXPORT CHEESE.
‘11..“ toVPl-mluce a Uniformly High
and Pr ofitablc Quality That
Will Stand S. zipping.
In an address to California 'dairy—
men, 13.11. liege-man said. Cheese for
export that will stand shipping can be
made 111 the following way: Take good,
sweet milk and heat it to 86 degrees
Fahrenheit, have the rennet. test at 00
seconds before adding the rennet.
Then add rennet. enough to‘eoagulate
the milk in about. 30 minutes, using
from two to three ounce-s according to
strength of, rennet, and cutting when
firm; stir the vat gently at first until
the curd firms up. Cook to 100 degrees,
then stir vat every 15 minutes to keep
curd in granular shape, till curd has
developed one—eighth inch acid, when
they should be run off, which usually
takes from one to one and one- -halt
houis. The cuid is then ready to be
ill a
0placed on curd rack and strainer cloth
and when matted down,cut in square
blocks and turn over eve1y 15 minutes.
If gas holes form in cm d the pieces can
be t’piled two or three deep; this V1 ill
press out the gas and \.ill flatten out
the gas holes in the curd. When an
inch bof acid has de1 cloned and the curd
shows a meaty textme it is ready to
mill. ll hen the em (1 is milled let 11.11111
onto the bottom of V 11t.1fl‘.ept 013 1' aeks
after it is out too much moisture would
be lost and cheese would perhaps be
dry Keep the curd stirred till lead)
to salt, and salt the curd about one-half
to th1ee- quai ters of an hour after mill-
ing, using two and a. half poundsof salt
per thousand pounds of milk. Give the
salt a chance to dissolve well, which
also takes from one-half to three-quar-
ters of an hour, then put to press about
80 degrees. A point of vast importance
is to have the cheese well pressed and-
all of the same size. If tainted milk is
used it. should be treated somewhat
differently from the. above, but remem-
ber that the best cheese cannot be made
from sour or- tainted milk. A soft,
mild cheese, of which a. great deal is
, used in this market, requires absolute-
ly sweet milk without taint. Heat to
88 degrees. Rennet test should be 120
seconds. Set the milk at 88 degrees,
using the usual amount of rennet.
Cook to 106 to 108 degrees. Cut when
firm and run whey off at one-eighth
inch acid. Use about two pounds of
salt per 1,000 pounds of milk. This-curd
can either be worked in the granular
form or with curd mill and put to press
at 85 degrees“. If pure,,sweet milk is
not used. and is taint-ed, gas holes will
form and the cheese will likely swell
up and roll off the shelves.

A lot of dry loam or sawdust ought
to be put into the b11111 to abso1b mois—

rear of the cows, if there is space, and
have covers that can be raised to alevel,
and held so by inside cleats, as shown.
This serves as a shelfon which milk—
pails can be set.
This matter of absorbents is not fully

neither manure cellars beneath the
cattle nor tight manure. gutters behind
them near by, nearly or quite half of
the value of the stable dressing will be
lost. With a? good‘supply of absorbents
all the liquid manure will be saved, the
stable will be kept neuter and- the air
pure1.If dry loam or saw dust is not
at hand, it will pay to go to the woods
and secure a supply of dry leaves. Not
only will these make a good bed for the
cows and prove a good absorbent for
the liquids, but the decay of the leaves
also will add not. a. little fertility to the
manure pile, and eventually to the soil.
——N. Y. Tribune.
Cure for a Bad Habit.
I have read in the Jersey Bulletin
quite a. discussion of, and many differ-
ent remedies to prevent,-cows sucking
themselves. While I have never had
any trouble. of that kind, I have in my
mind the most humane thing I think
could be. done for a cow with such a
habit, and I know it would be a sure
preventive. That- is to simply. encircle
the udder in a duck or. drilling sack,
Such a. sack could be made to button
11p and unbutton when milking, with-
out taking it off, and could also be fas
tened on- by a, cow cover to keep off
flies' in summer and keep the cow warm
in winter, and the cow would always
be clean for_milking., This is easy to
try and I have no patent on it.——S. P.
Hawkins, in Prairie Farmer.
Heifers and Milk Flow.
If there is any carelessness in milk-1
ing clean, it- is most apt to occur when
heifers are milked after their first
calf. ,Their tents are small, and it is
slow, hard work to draw the last drops
from the udder, as should always be
done. Besides, the heifer that. oulved
last spring probably gives only a- small
mess at the best, and there is great
temptation to dry her off, as the milk
she gives scarcely pays the trouble of
milking. But- that is not. the main
point. Keeping the heifer up to her
usual flow of milkisall i1nportai‘1t,for
1121 own future value asa cow. When.
a heife1 is. allowed to go dly two, three
or fou1 months 1111: cow is afterwards
extremely liable to step further milk
productions at about the same time. -

JOYS OF MARRIED LIFE.
One of the Greatest of Them Is the
Multiplicity of Social
Obligations.
“My dear,” said a newly-married
.young woman on the South side to
'her hutband the other evening, says
Ocean, “I have
evening to- -morrow. Mary Johnston
said to—day that she and her husband
were going to call on us Thursday even-4
ing. Friday evening is the dance at the
Kenwood club, and.you know you prom-
ised to take me to see Sol Smith Russell
Saturday night.”
“But, my dear,” protested her hus-
band,
the old folks one night this Week. And
I told Billy Mathew that I would call
him up to-mlorrow and. tell him what
night before Sunday we would be at
"And then you know I absolute-
ly have to write that speech this week.
And where do I get any time to read
or rest?”
“Yes, I kner there was something
else,” put in his wife, disregarding his
question. “There is a musicale at Mrs.
White’s Saturday evening. But we
can’t go to that, I suppose.”
“\Iy dear,” declaied he1 husband, sol-
emnly, “it is all right to talk about
‘doubling your joys and halving your
sorrows’ when you get married. It is
a great deal more true to say you double
your engagements and halve your
time.”
LEFT HIS HAND AT SAN JUAN.
That \Q‘as VV'hy a. Chicago Street Car
Passenger Did Not Assist
a. ‘Voman.
He climbed aboard the car slowly and
and dropped
into the only vacant seat, not-withstand-
ing the fact that several women who
had entered with him were left stand-
ing, and that one of them was so heavi-
ly loaded with bundles that she couldn’t
even make use of a strap. This wom-
an planted herself directly in front of
the weak—looking man and swayed to
and fro grimly before him, glaring an-
grily down into his emaciated count-e-
nance the“ while. ' Presently the car
lurehed suddenly around a corner, and
one of her bundles fell to the floor, with
a great sound of breaking glass and
china. The indignant woman gathered
the fragments of her ruined household
treasures with hasty, impulsive move-
ments, and, straightening up, fairly
snorted at the man before her, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
“You might at least have put out a
hand to save it,” she told'him, con-
temptuously. The man colored, hesi-
tated and then spoke quietly:
“I have. no hand on that side, ma:
dam,” he said, while. all the other pas-
sengers listened with sympathetic in-1
terest; “I left it at San Juan.”
.FBRIDGING BEHRING SEA.
Results of the Deposit of Immense
Quantities of Debris by the
Mighty Yukon River.
Prof. W. J. McGee, of Washington,
declares that two slow but interesting
changes are taking place in Behring
sea. The immense quantity of debris
that is borne down the Yukon from its
sources and sides is being deposited in
the sea beyond the mouth of that
mighty stream, and its weight causes
the bed of the sea to subside. A cor—
responding rise in the earth’s crust is
produced 'along the chain of the Aleu-
tian islands. Now, not only are' the
islands themselves increasing in size
in consequence of being lifted up out
of the water, but new islands are being
formed in the gaps between the others.
In some instances the new islands are
the result of the rise, and in others .
they are the result of volcanic action-
Most of the Aleutians are of volcanic
origin. and they mark the position of
a fold in the earth’s crust thatis pre-
disposed lo eruption. In time, Prof.
McGee says, there is likely to be a nat-
ural bridge from America to Asia along
this route, but he admits that nobody
now living is going to see it.
The South Pole.
L‘Eclair, of Paris recently published
an elaborate article “tres doc .”1mente,
signed Dag 'oubert, undconcerningitself
with the disc‘mery of the south pole.
According to Dagoubcrt the region
about the pole is oinhabited and organ-
ized as a kingdom. having the name
“DEA-at d'Adclie." It is said to contain
100000 inhabitants. of whom 000,000 are
I‘rench and 40.000 Popuans. A trav-
eler who. Dagoubert Says, happened to
reach this country of the south pole
has lately arrived in Par-is. llelis about
to apply to the ministry and proposes
a protectorate of the country and :1 sub-
sidy for it of 40,000,000 francs a year.
There is said to be much gold in the
country which is jealously guarded by
the inhabitants. Some notice is being
paid M. Dagoubeit by scientirlic men.
and he is likely, it 15 said, to attiuct as
much attention in Paris as Louis de
nougemont and his Australian tales did
in Lon-don. -
, The Sun’s Size.
In view of this enormous distanceiu
will be easily surmised that the little
disc seen with the smoked glass is of
colossal dimensions. In bald figures
its diameter is 866,500 miles, but. this is
meaningless- without some helpful Sim-
ile. .It is. easier to comprehend the
moon’s distance from the earth, say
240,000 miles; let us suppose our planet
placed at the very center of the sun
(first “hollowed out" for the express
purpose). and. the moon revolving about
it in its everyday orbit—not only un-
trammeled by the "s'hell"'ot' the sun.
but actually leaving i‘oom enough for
the rev’olutibn of another moon in an
orbit more than 190.000 miles further
away. without fractming the shell! In
other words. the sun is 1. 3'?‘.0 000 times
-as large as our planet!

ETTE
TABLES TURNED 011 SLEUTH. '
. I
An Angry Chicago Shopper Resents
Oflicious Interference of
Women Detectives. '
\
The tables were turned upon a wom-
an detective in one of the large depart
ment stores recently, reports a Chi-
cagd exchange, when a woman whom
,she had- been following from counter
to counter turned on her and not only
pulled her hair, but tore her gown. To
a. policeman who was summoned by the
detective the shopper said that she was
not a thief, and that the d-etectivc’s
espionage was an insult. No arrest was
made. The female detectives are knoan
to the regular patrons of the' stores
where they are employ ed, and it' 15 not
improbable, when the shopper said
that it was an insult to be follow ed by
this woman, that she was thinking
what opinion the other shoppers might
form of her. One store in this town
which obtained a lot of free advertising
several years ago because of the. energy
of its female detective has paid heavily
for it since. It. was '1. store which by its
arrangement offered great. temptation
to shoplifters, and undoubtedly it- suf-
fered from them. The wdman detect»
ive was engaged, and. as she was the
pioneer of her class she attracted so
much attention that she. became un‘
duly ambitions in her line of work. 1 If
a shopper happened to pick up an ar-
ticle and walk to another counter with
it, a. habit of many women, the de-
tective was right beside her, and she
felt that in the eyes of the sleuth she
was a probable thief, even if no arrest
was attempted. The annoyance of this
woman’s actions became so great and
the number of arrests made by her was
so large that the old patrons of the
store fell away. They felt that the risk
of being mistaken for a shoplifter out.
weighed the advantage of the bargains
offered.
