An English wit made an epigram to describe the climate of London: "In a fine day, looking up a chimney; in a foul day, looking down one." Quite as clever was the remark of a London "cabby," when Informed by a brother driver that he had as a passenger "a pal of the Shah's what they call a sun-worshiper." "I suppose he's come over for a holiday." The coronation days had their humorous side, as the cabmen could tes tify, and even the Oriental, hunting for the sun in a Loudon fog. might forget his defeated desire to worship If he heard himself called a "pal." deficient Ira substitutes entail extra coat and so derange the agricultural markets.

But as has been reiterated at many times In the last decade. New York aud Wisconsin have come forward to first place. Regardless of the matter of present-day prestige as to volume of business, the cheese Interests of the Western Reserve are still no small Item and as carried on are typical of cheese making everywhere. The utilization of the by-product, whey, as seen In Ohio, Is also worthy of description. The average modern cheese factory daily takes care of the milk from l.Ooo cows. Such a factory Is furnished its entire supply by perhaps a hundred farmers. The output of a dairy of l.ooti cows Is about 23.000 pounds of milk each day.

The girl who fascinates is loved because she is herself. She may not be beautiful, but all men are caucht watching her face: she may not be graceful, but every girl covets her manner; she mav not be witty, but everybody likes to hear her talk: she may not be accomplished, but she makes the talents of others nppeax paltry and mean and good for nothing: she may be none of these, yet to all intents and purposes, she is all. Men love the pretty girl, tney admire me accninpiw.. ". hut thev live and die for the girl who fascinates. Well, she is supremely shrewd. Put that down as her arch secret, the chief of all. She never forgets herself, her business. She is everlastingly vigilant of her interests. Other girls are heedless sometimes, or they forget or they are obtuse, by reason of persistent blunting of their vision, or they may know what slmuld be done and not do It "It dres not matter." they say. "This time doesn't count" or "I don't care." and so on. The girl who fascinates never does say this or think this. With her even-thing matters, every time counts, every person makes her care. She is ready to do all, to be nil, to aacrifice all for her end. Yet I do not nssert that the girl who fascinates is a selfish creature. Far from It She is usually generous hearted to a degree. Rut whether her heart may be either lively or Inert that is another matter. Her heart plays no grnnd role in her fascinations. She can do quite as well without as with it. She must have a serviceable head. It tells her what to do. and Americans are plunging ahead In business channels with amazing ener gy aud rapidiy and are restless unless engaged In stupendous enterprises which monopolize all their time, brains and money.

The great majority of women toll unceasingly and with little direct reward. Man at the end of his day's work can count up the money he has made and meas ure the result Woman's day's work has no end and no tangible profits. Her only payment as she goes weary-hand ed and empty-handed to rest Is in the heart-satisfaction of having done well a little more of her unending labor of love. There is nothing more pathetic were It not so common, than the sight so often seen of the hard-working, conscientious mother who literally wears out her life In unheralded toll, thankless and not expecting thanks. She has no "eight-hour day." Even a twelve-hour day would be a boon to moat wives who in the care of the house and children are always "doing overtime." without thought of extra pay.

And yet one of the first to join this palpably absurd religion was Henry Drummond a well-known parliamentarian who had a reputation in his day somewhat like that of Mr. Labouchere lu ours. He was. in addition, a ahrewd and wealthy banker; and yet Henry Drum mond was among Irvlug'a first adherents. And hia adhesion la crystulliied to-day in the fact that the family of the Duke of Northumberland Including, If I mistake not the brilliant young fellow who has Just been made an under secretary are adherent to the Irvingite creed. One of the shrewdest moat observant and, in some respect, most cynical men I ever knew, waa the late John LovelL editor of the Liverpool Mercury. If ever I wanted a judgment of a public man calm, dispassionate, searching, full of true psychological insight, I had a talk with John Lovell. and al ways felt enlighteued. And yet thia shrewd, sensible man, without an illusion, was an Irvingite.

In keeping with our national develop ment it was natural that those whose resources were brain, brawn and muscle Bhould have banded themselves tozther for their mutual protection and advunce ment Thus it has come nhout that we find in almost every locality brotherhoods of the various trades and in the rural communities granges and associations of farmers. The results have been in the main of advantage. They have led to the interchange of knowledge and ideas and have served to curb to a large extent the greed, the power and the influence of those who, except for this restraint, would have hroken down the safeguards which should accompany these developments. In the business world those who acquire property, through false representations are guilty of the crime of obtaining .xoods under false pretenses, and the corollary of this proposition is evident that he who seeks advancement in the political world through misrepresentation nnd misstatement of facts is entitled to the rebuke that can ouly be administered by the freeman's ballot Education is the only true method by which the distinction between governmental and individual righta may he discerned, nnd upon an educated people, therefore, we must depend to prevent and to repress all transgressions of the laws governing either.

It appears that it is fnmily pride that hns led this merry monarch to repudiate his daughter. The fund y escutcheon that he has carried un dimmed through :M:inner of life In Paris that only Balnac could fitly describe, a id hns flaunted In quarters of Loudon that first gnined international disrepute through the revela tions of the Oscar Wilde scandal, is grievously blotted by the fnct that hiB daughter married a man because she loved him, anl who was only n count. It is further gravely reported thnt because of her august fnther's displeasure several courts tf Europe are closed against the Princess Stephanie, nnd that she Is unwelcome in the most aristocratic society. All the courts of the continent are open to King Leopold, hut until the death of his wife the one which he seemed fittest to adorn was the divorce court No public mnn has led so scand iloua a life, none has been more brawn lu his intrigues and in his entire Indifference to even the surface proprieties.

You eon form no forecast whatever of a mnn's religions point of view from bis views nnd conduct in the other affairs of life. It is quite possible for a mnn to lie shrewd, cautious, even skeptical, in nil imsiness and ordinnry affairs, and at the same time to hold religions fniths which qualify for the lunatic asylum. Indeed, sometimes the credulity in mntti-rs ot religion seems to he a sort of Nemesis which nature wreaks for skepticism in other affairs. laKe. tor instance, lrvmgism. Irvine wns the young Scotch clergyman who wns in loye with Jane Welsh, nnd whom Jane Welsh loved: but he had entered into a hoy anu gin engagement wun tne daughter of a clergyman; the young lady insisted on the fulfillment of the bond; and lie' had to give up Jane Welsh. That little incident was the wrecking oi ninny lives. That disappointment of Irving wrecked his life also; for it was largely accountable for the relicious mania in which his lite enflert; nnd doubtless it wrecked the life of the noor lnrfr to whom unwillingly he gave his name, while every pulse nf his nenrt belonged to another woman.

There were fewer to understand then. To-day manual training Is part of the young man's educa tion. Almost everyone has had some practical ex perience with machines.

The fal in the price of bicycles is not a parallel case. The bicycle was new thing. As it became perfected the coat naturally fell. The automobile, in its parts, Is not new.

Screws are then applied and the operation of pressing begins. It hns been said thnt the screws usually applied in this process are sufficiently stout to raise a good-slsed building. Th pressing operation Is continued until the hoops have so telescoped that the cheese Is of the desired thickness. There are many of these presses ln ev ery factory, thus allowing for the mak ing of a goodly number of cheese at one time.
