Legislation now pending in the Fifty
fourth congress regarding the manu
facture and sale of "filled" cheese has
brought out some interesting data. It
appears that nine-tenths of the cheese
produced in this country is made in the
states of New York, Wisconsin. Ohio.
Illinois, Vermont, Iowa, Pennsylvania
and Michigan, ranking in the order
named. New. York alone makes one
half of the entire product. It requires
the milk of just about 1,000,000 cows
to make the cheese annually produced
L in the United States, and the value of
this product is more than $20,000,000.
Besides this, about 9,000,000 pounds of
cheese are imported annually into this
country. Taking these- facts into con
sideration, the necessity for some legis
lation to protect consumers and honest
producers i3 readily apparent. Filled
cheese differs from the genuine, old
fashioned article in but one essential
particular, so far as composition is con
cerned. Instead of the natural fat of
milk or cream, there is substituted lard
from the fat of the hog. Filled cheese
costs about one-half as much as full
cream cheese, and its market price
should correspond. Sometimes it is a
little difficult to tell the genuine from
the adulterated by the taste. The surest
way of detection, however, is by mak
ing a Welsh rabbit The adulterated
article will not give satisfactory results
under any condition. Buyers of cheese
should become familiar with the au
thorized official markings of full cream
cheese as carried out in the principal
producing states, where by state law
registered brands are authorized. The
stencil brands are on the outside of the
cheese and upon the package contain
ing it.
German Competition.
So much valuable information is given
in the various consular reports as issued
by the state department that it seems a
pity the public does not call for them
more. Many of them are of special value
to American manufacturers and export
ers, and all have more or less interest as
a means of general information. From
advance sheets of the report of our con
sul at Chemnitz, Germany, it appears
that English industries are suffering se
verely from German competition. More
over, this is not due, as all along sup
posed, to cheaper labor, but to superior
technical training. This iingland .her
self admits. She now sees Germany and
Belgium leading her, not only in foreign
ports, but inside her own gates. Of
course the Germans are rejoicing. There
are no workmen in the world so trained'
as to not only know what to do and how
to do it, but how it is done. As a result
of" this superior manual and technical
skill, Germany is sending England and
th6se who formerly bought from Eng
land all kinds of textures. Even Ger
man machinery is finding its way to
England and to India. It will not ba
long, if this thing continues, before Ger
many and not England will be our most
powerful competitor in the world's mar
kets. The Next Senate.
Speculation regarding the complexion
of the next national senate is a matter
of some interest, in view of the election
of a president next autumn. The full
membership of the senate is 90, but one
of the Delaware seats, for which Mr.
Du Pont has been a claimant,is now va
cant. Of the 44 Republican senators
now occupying seats in the capitoL 8 1
will hold over to the next congress. Of
the 39 Democrats, 25 will holdover, and
of the 6 Populists 3 will remain. The

CURRENT MISCELLANY.
Many institutions now engaged in
active charitable work in Florence date
their origin from the twelfth and thir
teenth centuries, and successive genera- j
tapns of Florentines have carried it on,
in "Inany- cases without intermission,
down to the present day. Hence we find
bacteriological research and modern
methods of treatment, antisepsis and
hygiene, carried on side by side with
traditional usages in buildings which
carry the mind back to early mediaeval
times. There is not a single modern
hospital in Florence ; tke new hospital
for children is without the walls.
The principal hospital of the present
day, Santa Maria Nuova, was founded
in 1288, and about the same time the
captains of the Bigallo determined to
preside over the hospitals in order that
thi sick should be tended with brotherly
love ; the captains of Or San Micheli
took their charge orphans, the destitute
and widows, and the brotherhood of the
Misericordia undertook to transport in
valids to the various hospitals, and the
dead to their last resting place. This
brotherhood is still performing the same
work of mercy, and ntey be daily seen
rooea in long white gwns which com
pletely cover the head, and are only
pierced with eyelet holes, traversing the
streets of Florence with their living or
dead burden. In 1340 Villain's history
records that there were more than 1,000
beds for the sick poor in Florence.
At the end of the fifteenth century
there were 35 hospitals, some special,
some general and some to give shelter
to the destitute. All these institutions
were established by the various guilds
or privately endowed. In early days the
moneys left to the poor generally reached
their destination, a contrast, says Paa
tarini, with present times, when much
of that which was intended for the poor
finds its way into the pockets of the em
ployees of charitable institutions. Many
of these charities were suppressed by the
council of regency in 1750 and many
more by Peter Leopold, who wished to
centralize public institutions in the
state. At the present day most of the
hospitals are directly or indirectly under
government control. St. Louis Globe-

SHORT NEWS STORIES.

It Was Only a False Alarm She :

John "White, whose address was given
as being on Polk street, and Harry
Black, who lives on West Congrest
street, were complainacti against one
another one morning in Justice Richard
son's court, the officers who arrested
them having booked each on a charge
of assault and battery on the other. .
Justice Richardson called for John
White, and a deep African voice at once
responded, "Heah!"
"Harry Black!" said his honor. And
a thin man, with a face like polished
white marble, came forward.
'Um-m I" said his honor. 'Which of
you is White and which is BlacVT
"I'm White, Bah," exclaimed the
inky fellow on the right.
"I'm Black, your honor,' said the
pallid gho6t on the left.
4Well, welll" said the court. "Had
any one ever tried before to tell me that
black was white and, white was black
I'd have had him put down stairs. But
as you boys have now taught me a great

Congressman Newlands of that state
said to be a candidate ior tne seat

hf1ri hv Senator Jones. If , these
two come together in a bid for the hon
or of repreisenting Nevada in the upper
branch of congress, there will be music
in the air. In the old days When Jones,
Stewart, Fair, Sharon and other mil
lionaires sought tEe senatorship as
rivals It was worth a - small fortune to
have a seat in the legislature. If New-
lands goes into the contest in earnest
he will give Jones a lively race. Both

Jefferson Davis' Private Property.
Confederate ex-Postmaster General
John H. Reagan related the following
in a lecture in San Antonio, Tex. :
"I scid there were some things illus
trative of the character of Mr. Davis not
generally known to the public. When
General Grant was moving his army
down the Mississippi below Vicksburg,
Mr. Davis was notified that his Brier
field plantation and large property
would fall into Federal hands and was
advised to have the movable property
5arried out of danger. To " this sugges
tion he replied that the president of the
Confederacy could not afford to employ
men to take care of his private property.
And when the Federal army was mov-1
ing on Jackson, Miss. , and he was ad
vised that his hill home in Hinds county
and his valuable library and other prop
erty there would fall into Federal hands,
and that he ought to have it removed to
a place of safety, he made the same re
ply that the president of the Confeder
acy could not afford to use men for the
security of his private property. And all
movable property at both places, includ
ing his negroes, was lost to him. I make
these statements because I was present
at each of these conversations, and I
have not seen them in print "
Signs of the End of Time.
Many years ago there was printed in
Constantinople a queer Jewish ' 'mystery
book" called the "ZerubbabeL" This
book is great on prophecies and signs,
one section of . it being devoted to the
coming of the Messiah and the ten
"signs" which shall precede that event
The first is the appearance of the three
apostate kings.
The second is a period of terrible heat ;
the third, a den of blood (see Joel ii,
30) ; the fourth, a darkness which shall
cover the earth for a period of 30 days.
Fifth. Rome shall be given universal
power for nine months.
Sixth. A fall of "healing salve," or
dew, which shall cure every ill of the
pious Jews.
Seventh. The birth of Armillus, the
antichrist, an awful monster who will
be born of a marble statue in one of the
churches in Rome.
Eighth. The blowing of the three
blasts on the trumpet by the Archangel
Michael (not Gabriel).
The blowing of a second series of
blasts by the same person.
The ten tribes shall be led to para
dise, where they will celebrate the wed
ding feast of the Messiah. St Louis
Republic.
The Humming Bird.
It is very hard to make acquaintance
with humming birds, they are bo very
shy and fleet of wing.. A lady who had
a rare opportunity to watch a mother
bird and her tiny nest that was built
near her room tells this interesting in
cident: "One day, when there was a
heavy shower coming up, just as the first
drops fell the mother came fluttering
home, seized a large leaf which grew on
the tree near the nest, drew ' it over the
nest in a way to completely cover it,
then, went back to whatever work she
had been about, when the coming storm
disturbed her. The watcher at the win
dow wondered hy the leaf did not
blow away. They found it hooked to a
tinv twig just inside the nest The
storm passed, the mother, came home,
unhooked the green curtain she had so
cunningly hung and found her babies
all dry." Brooklyn Citizen.
A False Alarm.
Two rival amateur baseball nines
went down to Gloucester on a recent
Sunday, intent upon the annihilation of
each other and the consumption of a
keg of beer which they took along in a
wagon. Selecting an open piece of
ground, the game was soon under way.
The first inning had just been finished,
when two policemen were seen running
toward the crowd of baseball enthusi
asts. There ensued a mad stampede.
The beer keg was hastily bundled into
the wagon, bats were piled in acd the
players scattered in all directions. The
blue coated minions of the law gave
valiant chase after the wagon, and, as
luck would have it one of the traces
broke and the vehicle came to a stand
still, just as the pursuers closed in.
"What's the matter with youse fel
lers?" asked one of the policemen.
"What are you running away for?"
"Why, because we don't want to get
pulled in," replied the driver of the
wagon.
"Pulled in nothing!" ejaculated the
doughty officer. "We don't want to pull
youse in. We heard youse had a keg of
beer, an we felt like joining in, dat'a

So they all went back, the game was
resumed and the , policemen umpired.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.
"WclL" said Mrs. Bickers as she pot
down the daily newspaper, "if this isn't
in outrage I'd like to know why it
Ua't" ;
"If yon pay it is, of course it must
be," replied Mr. Bickers. "Bat tell me
about it."
"An Ohio judge has ruled that an
ablcbodied wife may bo held respensi
bio for the support of her husband.
Now, what do you think of that, Mr.
Bickers?"
"That's all right "
"All right, is it? Then I suppose if
you got worthless and could not or
would not support this family any
longer I'd have to support it would I?"
' 'Apparently you would, if you lived
in Ohio, which you don't But why
shouldn't you? What is sauce for the
gander is sauoo for tba goose. "
"Mr. Bickers, do you mean to call me
a goose?" demanded the irate woman
in a dangerous tone of voice.
"I didn't call you a goose."
"Didn't you say that what was sauce
for the gander was sauce for the goose ?"
"I did, but I did not invent the
phrase, which is only a metaphorical
one anyhow. ' '
"I don't care whether it is metaphor
ical or not or whether yuu invented it or
not You called me a goose, bo there. "
Here Mrs. Bickers took out her hand
kerchief and began to sob. "I never
thought" she went on, between her
sobs, "that the man who promised to
love and cherish me at the marriage
altar would ever call me a grx
John Henry Bickers you are a brute

He Could Recommend It
The latest fling at the'"wild and
woolly west" is in the shape of the fol
lowing incident which a Boston ex
change claims is a "true story:"
A Boston lady who had been recom
mended to go west on account of the ill
health of herself and family wrote to
the postmaster of a small town asking
for information of various kinds regard
ing the healthfulness, cost of living,
state of morality and church privileges
in his town. His reply caused her to re
mark that she "preferred death in Bos
ton," for he wrote:
Deal MlDDlH-Come on. This town ia all
rite. The general health can't be beat. If it
wasn't for the little scraps of a Saturday
night and when the cowboys come in to make
lis a little visit, we'd have no need of a grave
yard. Natural deths are unknown, and we
ain't had but 14 funerals here in threo months.
Bowciety is sway np. Free dances come off ev
ery night, and on Sunday nights we nave a
grand free dance and sacred concert in tho
operry house, don't go home till morn In, and
joy roles the roost. All bad characters are
lynched as soon as caught. Ono has Just been
caught, and I must shut up the pootofuce and
go up to what we call Lynchin hill and see
the fun, so I can't rite no more at present.
But you come on. Let ir.e know when you'll
git here, and I 11 meet you at the depot with a
brass band. Come rite on.

anecdotes and opinions.
"We see cr ter'blo lot o' human na

"That's riht I kin tell whether a

"I kin judge better by 'is voire. Wen

quested him to weigh a bundle of news
papers, which were promptly returned
with the seven 1 cent stamps required

after pasting them on the wrapper wad
dled away perfectly unconcerned. The
clerk has not yet made up his mind
whether his customer was lazy or afraid
of the deadly 'bacilli. St Louis Republic.

The Blackwater State.
Nebraska has been termed the Black
water State. The explanation of this
poetical nickname is found in the fact
that the water of the principal streams
-is as dark as that of the .rivers flowing
from the bogs of Ireland. The sou of
Nebraska is very rich and loamy, and it
is said there are peat beds in the state,
the statement being apparently confirm
ed by the color of the water, which- is
caused py the presence oi organjoxaattei;
