"It is curious what mistakes thoy mako in history," said old Grandfather Blackmore. "Now this that is in your book hero about her majesty's cheese, isn't truo at all that is, tho General part of it is truo enough, but there's a mis take in particulars." "And what was her majesty's cheese?" asked Grandfather Blackmoro's daughter-in-law a Connecticut woman with Yankee ancestors as far back as there wero any Yankees. "Did you never hear of it?" cried Grandfather Blackmore. "Well, in deed! Then I'll tell it you, though to ho suro you could read it yourself. It was a checso made in tho year .'41, in the vil lage of Pinnard, Somersetshire, to pre sent to her majesty Queen Victoria, then a young woman, and very much ad mired by her subjects. "The Pinnard ladles wero all agog about her, and to show their loyalty thoy made up their minds to mako one of their famous cheeses, for almost every county in England has a particular cheeso of its own, and Somersetshire was not behindhand. So tho wives of ,all tho well-to-do folk gentlemen farmers wo call them met together and held a council, and 737 subscribers were called for, each to offer ono mean's milk of her best cow for tho making of tho cheese. And tho 737 ladies subscribed. And a great vat was made with the royal arms carved upon it and many other things beside, and on tho anni versary of th(5 queen's coronation fifty of them were to meet at Mr. Nash's Georgo Nash ho was, and a flno man, and a hearty and all tho offerings of milk wero to be received by them. ,-,It wmilil mnlcf, tv,nl.v linr-slinna tlm? said, and it did, and it took them from 0 in tlio morning to (i in tho evening to turn It to cuul, and the largest and finest and loveliest cheese it made! And when it was ripened it was taken to Buckingham palace and presented to her majesty, who thanked them very gra ciously, and afterward sent the village a present, though what it was I this min ute forget. But ahout tho cheeso I am so certain that I can point out a little mistake. Now this hook says that there wero 737 messes of milk in tho queen's phcese, and I can tell you there wero only 780," "Why, how can you know. Father Hlackmore?" cried his daughter-in-law I'll tell you," said tho old man. "In 1'iunaru, tjomersetbiitre, mere was a widow lady, hy namo Mrs. Lutwoyche, Sho had good Wood in her veins, and I could tell you all about it only you Yan kees don t caro for tliatort of thing; but sho had very little money and only ono cow a pretty creature, to bo suro, but giving very little milk. However, she was ono of tho best folk of tho place, and and it would never do not to havo her namo on the list. So in it went. One of tho 737 names that wero put down for tho milk to mako tho queen's cheeso of was Mrs. Sophy Lutwoyche. Sho was all alono in tho world, poor lady, but for her daughter Charlotte. Thoy had a lit tle house, and a little garden, and a little servant, and tho little cow I told you of, andCharlottowas the prettiest littlo crea ture! Sho had English blue eyes and her skin was like cream, and I fell in love with her tho minuto I saw her. I was not a Somersetshire man, I canio from Devonshire, and Devonshire lassies are called beauties. But Charlotte cut them all out, and I followed her about as if I had nothlntr else to do. Tho Widow Lut woyche didn't favor mo much. She thought mo not quite high enough for Charlotte, though I was to havo money. But I did what I advise all men to do when thoy want the daughter. I courted tho mother, and by tho time tho subscrip tion paper was taken about 1 was Inti mate enough to bo at tho cottage at tea lime, and to know that Mrs. Lutwoycho was to havo tho honor of being ono of tho ladies who was to go to Mrs. Nash's dairy to mako the curd. Their only troublo was how to get the milk and themselves over at 5 o'clock in tho morn ing without troubling the neighbors, for everything that could be hired was hired already. There was to bo jollification on tho Nash placo all day long, and butter prints with the queen a portrait on had been mauo, and jelly molds like crowns and wreaths of flowers wero to be hung everywhere, for it was Juno and flowers vero plenty. It was to uo 11 great merry making indeed. Well, I had 11 chanco to do tho widow a real favor at last, and promised her that I would bring a vehicle in whicu slio cgukl Mt neatly uressou with Chaiiotto beside her, and lu whloh tho can could go, nudthat I myaelf would drive, and I could stay through tho day and tako them homo again that is, if they d do mo tho honor to permit me, "Sho was well pleased, and I got my ilrst bit of real favor from her that day when I drove over to the houso in iho dawning. "Tlio widow was ready, all In, black. and Charlotte nil in 'white, and there stood the can burnished like silver, and helped tho ladies into tho scats in frout of tho littlo carriago and went round be hind to put tho can in, and I lifted towardthe placo it was to ttand in a placo ulado for tho baggage, if you had any when, as if tho old lioy was in them both, tho handles gave way at the same minuto, and down went the oun to tho grata.

September 14, it, it was empty. "Tho ladies did not seo what had hap pened, and- how to tell them I did not know. I put tho cover on, set tho can in its placo, and went forward and took the roins, trying my best to think how to get tho can filled 011 tho sly, but no way oc curred to me, and I saw tho chimneys of tho Nash houso vising against tho sky without having found an idea. Then It flashed on mo. Thero wero twenty great hogsheads ready for tho milk, and men servants wero emptying tho cans into them. Ono walked up to our vehiclo, ready to tako tho can, but, 'Not' cried I, 'I want to havo tho honor of adding Airs. Lutwoycho'B contribution to tho queen's cheeso myself. No ono shall touch it. God savo her majesty 1' " 'That's flno,' said Mrs. Lutwoyche, 'when a young man feels liko that,' and you should havo seen mo lugging tho empty can as if it was as heavy as lead, and lifting it carefully, and pouring nothing into tho hogshead, with my back between tho can and tho ladies. Then I gave tho can to tho servants will ingly, and tho handles, whloh I had stuck In, camo off as thdy touched them. "'What a mercy that didn't happen before!' said Mrs. Lutwoycho. "Well, I felt ajittlb mean and a littlo icked and much ns if I'd committed treason; but I doubt if any ono ever missed tho little can of milk from tho great bulk. It would not havo made tho great cheese much larger, and I had a jolly time that day. I spoko to Char- lotto, and Charlotte gavo mo to under stand that if her mother was willing, she was; and on our way homo tho Widow Lutwoyche listened to what I had to say to her, and soon after I took them both to my own placo in Devon shire. "Tho littlo cow went along, and my mother-in-law alvvitys spoko of her as tlio cow that gavo her milk for tho queen's cheeso.' You can believo that I novor mado confession to her, and for that matter, my wife don't know it yet, and I trust you not to betray me, daughter-in-law. And now you know how I am suro there is a mistake in that ac count of tho making of tho queen's cheeso iu tho village of Pennard, Somer setshire, on tho Oth of June, 1841, and that thero wero not 737 inilkings" in it, but only 730."
