oft lfow should she exist with another

I here was a sp.et of cj.ufort in that

wiped her eyes and almost smile j.
What was Mr. Grumble's surprise, on
joining home that eveuing, fully primed
for a domestic tirade on tbe subject of a
button which had driftet down from his
shirt front that day, to find his especial
easy chair and corner of the fire occupied
by au asthmatic old niau, whose heal
aad face wete enveloped in a silk hand,
sterchief! He stopped short in amaze
ment nr.d horror.
"Ihis is Uncle Tompkinj, Henry,1
.aid Mrs. Grumble, who was busy
warming a basin of gruel over the fire;
and tue old gentleman extended one
linger without turning his head, saying
in a cracked voice:
"I wish, nephew, you would shul

ijaculated Mr. Grumble, la k hurried
whisper, and tbe wife, whose arm be
had caught on the way to the kitchen
after hot water for Uncle Tompkins, re
plied in the tame tone:
"Oh I you musn't mind my uncle,
lear; he doesn't mean anything, only
ac is old aid whimsical 1"
"But a man has no business to make
iverybody else uncomfortable in this
lort of way," muttered llr. Grumble.
He ailently devoured his meal, secret
y wondering how long Uncle Tompkins
meant to stay. No sooner was the table
cleared than the irascible old gentleman
began agaic.
"Grumble," said Le, "I wish you's,
itop that creaking of your chair; my
nerves are so weak, and if you could
keep jour children upstairs their racket
wouldn't disturb me so much. I really
don't know how I'm going to stand that
baby'j noise."
"I do not think it is a very nois
Saby," said Mr. Grumble, meekly. "It's
teeth are very painful just at present. 1
Mrs. Grumble, who was l poking thi
J re In accordance with her uncle' petu
lant request, said nothing but smiled
quietly to bear her husband trying to
evt nuttte the baby's sini.
"Well," remarked Mr. Tompkins,"at
abics are noisy. And by the way,
jrumble, I wish you would oil tbe
hinges of that squeaking door;and 1
don't like the smell of that geranium in
the window. fialleol you haven't any
top button in your shirt 'front 1 I hope
my niece isn't a careless wife!"
" Not at all," said Mr. Grumble,
jervously; "but the care of her child
and housekeeping duties absorb a great
deal of her time. The instant she find)
leisure the will look to my clothes."
"I don't lee how a woman Can spend
aer whole time keeping house and look
ing after a pack; of children," observed
Uncle Tompkins, incredulously.
About ten o'clock the old gentieuuc
was ushered to the spare room, accom
panied by a procession of medicine
phials, a tub of hot water, woollen
dressing robes and heated blanket foi
his feet, and his absence occasioned very
general relief.
" What an insufferable old duffer thaA
;s!'' exclaimed Mr. GruTih'- rwlnB
aimself with a sigh of satisfaction Into
nis favorite seat once more. "My dear
Bessie, how could you endure this in
fernal fault finding?"
"I am nonsto ned to that, Henry. Il
is the levo:i ma ,y uiirried women are
obliged to learn," realied Mrs. Grumble,
with a sigh.
Her husband pricked up hi ears a
.ittle uueasily. "Accustomed to it?"
What did she mean? It was not pos
sible it could not be possible that he
was like that odioos old Uncle Tomp
kins. And yet he wished Bessie had not
spoken in that way. Somehow it made
him feel excessively uncomfortable.
Three days passed away, Uncle Tompkins
growing more and more intolerable the
whole time, while Mr. Grumble im
proved the occasion by making a sort of
mental looking-glass of that worthy ol 1
gentleman.
"Upon my word," said he to him
io!f, "I must &ave been a perfect nuis
ance all these years. Why didn't some
body tell me of itt"
At length Uncle Tompkins went away,
flannel robes, medicine bottles and all,,
and oa the evening of the same day Tom
Carlton arrived from a temporary ab
ence, nobody knew where.
"So uncle has been visiting you?'' ha
id, gayly, to Mr. Grumble.
"Tes," said the latter with a slight
grimace.
"What sort of a looking man is he?'
Mr. Grumble was silent for t moment.
"Dj vou know," he exclaimed, burst
.ug into a perplexed laugh, "I couldn't
Jescribe a single feature of his face. Ho
was always enveloped, like an Egyptiai
mummy, in a siik handkerchief, some
thin? like that one vo l have In your
land. Hiwever, I'm heartily glad he's
rone. With my permission, he shall
lever set foot in this house again."
"Xo," said Tom, archly.
"The most iato'cn')l fault-finder 1
ver met with," said Mr. Grumble; "ab
nlutely the mo:-t disagreeable man who
?ver encumbered tlie earth! I don't sse
low it is possib'e to growl at everything,
s h did."
"T jat's not aa uaommon failing, 1

ng. "Very likely," said the brother-in-aw,
cmphatica'ly, "but his visit ha
iee:i productive of at least one good ef
ect it ha ci:nlete!y cured mo of any
tendency I might have had that way. I,
or one, mean to leave off grumbling."
"I'm happy to hear it. Nephew Grum
!c," exclaimei a cracked voice.
The victi nlzid man started up in dia
nay, scarcely belitving the testimony of
us senses, as Tom twisted the silkhand
tercliiet skillfu'ly around his head, and
ent himself nearly double, with a'
isthmatic sound between a groan and a
;runt.
"Why, you don't mean to aay that

Mr. Grumb.e.
"Pardon me, Henry," said Tom, smil
ng, "but I saw that you had uacon
iciously become a habitual grumbler,
.nd I judged that the best antidote was
i faithful representation of your own
'ailings. Was I right?"
His brother-in-law was half inclined

Arctic research is pai ticularly activs
ft this time, and efforts are made to get
tome sort of a vitew of the condition ot
ihiDgs lfore the vast ice sheet spread
pver so much of the northern portion of
the hemisphere. Arctic fossil plants
Specially are studied in tbe hope that
Ihey will add some light to the little
tlready known on the subject. It hai
een the belief of leading American bot
luists that as the ice sheet progressed
.outhwardly tbe arctic plants went in
idvance, the cooler temperature giving
;hem a chaace to extend themselves where
zreater warmth loving plants had been
before. When the glaciers receded these
plants followed back again, on the same
principle. Tbe thought has been that
after so many ages of new environments
the species would change somewhat, and
tome of those the glacier found in tem
perate climates would, or should under
ihe environment principles, learn to en
iure arctic cold, and follow the glaciei
its polar home. Hence the remains of
ihe ancient flora under the ice is always
t matter ot special interest when found.
The latest contribution to the subject is

station for the Advancement ot Science.
Depressions, below the regular levels, u
U there had been subsidence, are ocoa

These were filled with silt as tha ice

many ases have passed since they were

CHEESE MADE IN CAVES
HOW THE FAMOUS ROQUEFORT
13 MANUFACTURED.
in Interesting Prooess, SOOO Years,
Old, Largely Carried oa la Dark
Mountain Caverns.
I OQUEFORT cheese is mad.
I from ewes milk in a most
interesting manner, rne sneep
have been bred always foi
their milk ins quality, and tbe bulk ol
the cheese is yet made of this kind ol
milk, but recently, as the demand for it
has increased, some cow's milk is used,
without any difference materially in tha
quality of the product. It is not the
milk, or any special preparation of it,
upon which the character of the cheus.
depends, but the unique process of CUT
in in these caves, in which the temper,
a' ure is precisely the sitmo every day la
the year; the atmosphere is pure and ot
an unchangeable moisture, so that th
special germs whic i cause the fermenta
tion always act iu precisely the' same
way, and thus the cheese never varies la
quality. So that whether cow's pi
sneep's or goat's milk is used, the cheese
is always Uoquefort.
The mountain oa which the village of
ouefort, France, is situated, is called
Larzic, and is about twenty-five miles in
length and nearly 3000 feet hi-jh. The
soil is chiefly limestone an 1 the fertility
of it is only moderate. Tbe natural pas
ture is thin, but it is made up by crops
of clover, saufoin, lucern and mixed
trrain3, as tares anl oats, or rye and peas.
T.iee mixed crops, under good culture,
yield abuml-mtly, and alord the larger
pirt of the subsistence of the sheep, of
which abDUt .'500,000 aro kept to supply
the milk. I'y close breeding this race
of sheep has becojie specially prolific of
milk, rich in fat and caseine, bavins; five
aud teven per ceit. respectively of these
elements of cheese. It is not so sweet as
cow's milk.
This cheese U what we cull a "halt
skim," that is, tho eveniug's milk is
skiiuiiici after hcinj; heated to near
boiling, and fctuutil the morning. Tht
fresh milk au I the skini'uel evening's
milk are wanted up to ninety degree?
and thi'ii curdled by tha addition of a
lare spoonful of renuct to fifty quirts
cr 12J pounds of milk. Tno heating
and the quantity, of rennet used nr
v.tiicd as the wcither may 1)3 wur.u ot
damp, as this has sumo clToct upon the
behavior of the milk as is well known to
excise-makers. The curd, when suffi
ciently firm, is cut to liberate tho .vhey,
which is dipped off, anl the curd in lift
e l into the iu uIJs. These are of earth-ea-aro,
and glnz?d, cylindrical ia form,
an I pierced with holes for the drainage
of the whey. ' They are eight inches in
diameter aud three and a half deep, thin
niikinag ft cbeec that weighs five pounds
when fully cure 1. A9 the molds are
filled, the cur 1 is inoculated' with a fer
m nt made of drie l moldy bread pa.v
dercd, this being wt'l distributed among
the curd by t ie finger as tho curd it
plaoe I in the mold. The curd is
hcap-jJ above the edge of the mold
tiirce iuc'aes, so that as it shrinks th
cheese will just fill the mold.
A second mold is then filled in the.
Suaiu way and placed on the first, anl
the curd is covered with a plate ot lead,
which scrvts to press it and get rid ot
the excess of moisture from it. When
this has been effected, tho cheese will
have shrunk within the limits of Its
meld. The whey drains from the
cheeses into channels cut in the ta'jlc
upon which they are laid, and is re
moved. The apartment in which this
work is done is an outer cave, inclosed
by a wall in front.
Here the cheese stays until it U drained
of the whey, being turned twice a day.
A special part of the process at this stage
is the warming and moistening of the
rooms by me ins of vessels filled with
steaming warm water, lrequently re
plenished. About three days completes
the drainage of the cheese, and it is then
moved to the drying room, which is an
airy, cool apartment furnished with
tables covered with cloths on which the
cheeses freed from the molds are laid.
They are tuned morning and evening
for two or three days, when they are
taken into the caves for the special treat
ment to which they are subjected, and
which has the effect ot giving to this
raw curd a delicate and delicious flavor
and mellowness.
The caves being formed by the dis
placement, fracture, and heaping together
of a vast number of rocks, axe made up
of an intricate labyrinth of open spaces
aud narrow passages, through which cur
rents of cold air are continually passing.
These air currents are controlled by
closing up some of the passages, leaving
openings that my be closed or shut as
the wind outsidu may make desirable.
Some of the spaces arc arched over with
masonry, but all arc profoundly dark,
And the visitor sees only the little glim
mering lights flickering in the darkness
as be passes the o;cn portal ot one of the
caves where tbe women, dimly seen, ere
scraping the niol 1 from the cheeses or
turning them or moistening them, and in
their curious ways aiding the wonderful
germs at work to effect the slow changes
in the curd.
The temperature of the caves is kept
at sixty degrees by the me of the venti
lators, and the moisture is sustained at a
humidity of forty -eight degrees. When
the cheeses are brought into the caves
they weigh eighteen per cent, of the
milk. used.
They aro now laid on the ground on
clean straw to be gradually cooled down
to the temperature of the cave. They
then go to the salting room, where they
are rubbed with salt on oue face, wnic'i
is turned to the ground ; a second cheese
is salted in the same way on one face and
laid on the first; a taird one is then
salted and laid on the second one. In
this way the cave is filled with cheeses. In
twenty-four hoars the cheeses are salted
on the other face and xeversel and
placed as before. This frequent revers
ing is to keep a certain quantity of mois
ture ia the cheese and develop the
oth of the special fungus whica has
oeen sown in tbe curd. Tun is tbe com
mon green mold, Pencillium glaucum.
In forty-eight hoars more the cheeses
become riscous and are rubbed with n
ccarse cloth and again pil d as before.
In two days mors the fungus has spread
Wught.egejndpfleaon the

Is scraped oft with knives, with a thia
stratum of the crust, which is sold as aa
article of food.
The cheeses are now sorted, the most
solid being placed oa the floor and the
others on them in threes, as before. In
eight days they become covered with a
yellowish-red mold, and this with a for
est of minute regelation of white mildew.
This is scraped off and given to pig?.
In twelve days more a second scraping
(raclage) is given, the best cheeses mak
ing tbe growth of fungus most quickly.
They undergo this process frequently a
the mold gathers, until the character of
It changes, showing that the condition
Ot the curd has changed. First, the
red mold that appears on cream in damp
dairies, and known by its circular spots
ef red, and then a dense blue mold cover
the cheeses and announce the completion
of the curing. The cheeses are then
finally scraped, wiped, and wrapped in
tinfoil, which excludes the air, and are
then readr for market.
As the curing proceeds, those cheeses
that indicate superior quality by the ap
pearance of the mold oa them are kept
separate and held for a later sale, when
the exquisite flavor so highly valued be
comes developed, and these are sold at
the highest prices.
This whole process, intricate as it is,
has been learned during no oce knows
how many centuries, but at least twenty.
It has been taught by father to son, or
mother to daughter, and by this long
practice perfection has been reached.
But with oar present kaowledge of tho
changes wrought by the action of these
minute plants on the nitrogenous mat
ter ot the card, there will be no dif
ficulty in formulating a method of mak
ing this cheese that will produce a qual
ity equal to the original, if the means of
controlling the curing by temperature
and moisture are provided.
It will be noticed by the expert in
cheese-making that this variety owe3 its
character principally to the fact that the ,
curing of it depends upon the culture ia '
the cheese and not on it of the fungi by
which the changes in the curd are pro- j
duced. It is, in fact, similar in this re
spect to the equally rich and fine Stilton '
of England, which is inoculated with
the fungus by inserting skewers dipped
in a preparation of tbe mold or by placing
in the curd fragments of the fuugus at
it is placed in the mold. The actual
inoculation produces a much more elec
tive operation than the mere outside ex
posure to the fungus germs that exist iu
the air, and j jst as culture produces
better effects in other plants desired for
special qutlities. Xew York Titnss.
Hunting the Anlsi-Seel Uj
The bag is not really a bag, though
It is probable that when "drag hunts-'
were greater novelties than now a real
bag containing anise-seed was usei.
Nowadays the "bag" consists of a pieo
of flannel, three inches long by one inch
wide, attached to the end of a string
twelve or fifteen feet long. The anise
seed is obtained out of a bottle: tho
flannel is dipped in extract of anise-sect,
which is weakened with one-third of its
volume of alcohol, lest the odor of the
pure extract be toa strong for the hounds.
The man who Is to lay the courso drags
the "bag" behind him, so that it leaps
aud bounds along the grouu J, very mucii
m the real fox does. One dipping will
supply scent for a run of four or fiva
miles; when the scent seems exhausted,
the trailer simply dips the flannel again
in his little bottle, and goes oil again. In
Englsnd, where drag hunts aro more
common than in this country, they use a
red herring tied at the end of a string t-
lay the scent; the hounds are foni of
herring, and follow a herrinj trail as well
as an anise-seed trail a fact turnelto
account in the L udon Graphic, where
is a series of pictures showing the
troubles of a rural postman charged with
delivering a package of red herring!
which had been sent by mail. Tne
hounds pursue him, and he takes refuge
in a pond until the huntsmen can rescue
him. Tne best tiail is sail to be a
portion of a fox's litter, part of the bid
of the animal: when it can be obtained,
it is put in a net and dragged over the
ground as the "bag" is
