Good Nature Often Allied
To Heroism
PUBLIC school in one of the large
eastern cities recently awarded one
- M*Mt of its boy-pupils a medal for
A rather unusual trait—the constant
manifestation of good nature. He
.had not delved deeply into the pro
fundities 9f academic learning; he
had not mastered obstacles in the
pathway of knowledge which the
essayist delights to glibly charac
terize as "almost insuperable;” he
had not fired his fellow scholars
with his eloquence nor established
new records on the cinder path or
football gridiron. He had simply
met the mutations just as frequent in school life
as real life, and relatively as important, with a
placid front. When he failed in a class recitation,
when he was disciplined righteously or otherwise,
when he came to school on various mornings and
found the stove smoky and the temperature inhos
pitable, when he was suffering from headache,
toothache—in the face of all and singular of the
paltry worries which, collectively, make for every
day bxasperation, he was serene, unmoved to
wrath, with an infectious smile and a word of
inspiration for those who take the little things of
life more tragically. The authorities were justified,
too, in distinguishing him from his comrades for
the possession of this specific characteristic, for
good nature is one of the most valuable qualities
with which an individual may be dowered in the
scramble for preferment.
Mind you, however, there are two varieties of
good nature as there are two species of every qual
ity peculiar to the human kind. Amiability of tem
perament may be inherent or acquired. In the
former instance the individual deserves no more
credit than he would for the possession of brown
instead of blue eyes. It came to him by no effort or
volition of his own, and though it oils his way
through life and increases the happiness of other
people, he should ascribe no glory whatever to him
self or permit himself to look with censorious eyes
on the man who, through the operation of laws
equally beyond his personal control, has been
weighted down with a moodiness or biliousness
of disposition. Another well-defined and rather
p.revalent type of the man generally reputed to be
good-natured, is the lymphatic customer.
With a heart in his breast which never varies
in its slow, methodical pumping no matter how ex
citing events in the surrounding world, with nerves
of nickel-steel and sensibilities about as keen as
those of a well-regulated steam engine, he moves
on impassively through life, passing for a man
of good nature As a matter of fact he is no more
entitled to credit for ’his even poise than is. that
same steam-engine for the rhythmic, unemotional
performance of its functions. And neither is he
good natured, unless the term be applied as we
might apply it to a lump of putty—a substance
complacent enough in its way, albeit seldom ap
pealing to the man whose veins bulge with a fluid
that has nothing in common with clabber.
.But it is when you arrive at the individual ham
pered by super-personal physical or psychical pe
culiarities, which induce a chronic saturnity of
mental vision tinging his viewpoint with melan
choly and veneering his labors and his pleasures
with a yellowish, blue shade, that you should begin
to get your microscope in action for the detection
of commendable will-power and self-control. For
if such a person exhibits a buoyancy of conduct,
an enthusiasm, a philosophic interpretation of the
disappointments of existence, you may be sure
that you have discovered a hero. He is literally
wrenching himself loose from impulses and pro
pensities which gird him on every side and which
seek to dominate his every action. Most, likely
he has learned by sordid experience, that the view
point of dispondency does not pay, and that it puts i
him out of sympathy with the rest of the universe.
But you may rest assured that it has been a des
perate struggle for him to emerge from his slavery
to himself—a slavery the most abject and one
which carries fetters more binding and galling than
1 those of the most tyrannical external master.
So, when you are shedding your likes and dis-
j likes so blithely in every direction, selecting per-
j sons for the former who ever greet you with a
smile and a jovial word, don't forget the man
whose smile may not be quite so spontaneous and
inspiring as would meet your whim, but who may
be making an uphill fight against his own mor
bidity of temperament. And don't be so ready to
eulogize "old John, that sunny tempered fellow”
at the expense of "James, who always looks as
though he’s attending his own funeral.” Perhaps
John’s optimism came to him at birth as a legacy,
and, though he is to be congratulated as we would
congratulate any friend similarly situated, James
is infinitely more commendable if he is waging a
hard war against a perversity of disposition for
which he is to be no more condemned than is John
for the happy reverse.

Brazos, when darkness put an end to the
pursuit. Had hot our artillery hbrses
broken down, we would, doubtless, have
repression sorely taxed by exasperating incidents.
When, for instance, the door bell rings and the
servant announces the presence of some visitor un
congenial and unwanted, that woman who does not
give vent to some expressive bit of slang or £ner-
.gctic protest is rapidly pluming herself for aefeles-
tial flight. Or when, after waiting ternfear the
thunderous and reassuring snore of her lord 4°d
master, she proceeds to rifle his pockets for change
and discovers that he has guilefully anticipated
her, she lets loose a bundle of assorted, pale pink
feminine expletives, who is going- to blame her?
We have encountered people of such icy, self-
contained excellence that the most provoking or
alarn.ing set of circumstances would not startle
them out of a conventional expression of resent
ment or regret. But such persons do not occur
with irritating regularity, and they speedily be
come so superior to their mundane surroundings
that a kind and watchful providence loses no time
in promoting them to a more auspicious field of
activity. The ordinary, red-blooded mortal yields
to his or her spleen on odd occasions and, although
we do not extenuate profanity, somehow we find
ourselves looking on slight hyperbole, under unu
sual stress, with a lenient eye.
In spite of this breadth of view, we are not pre
pared to believe that the condition outlined by
the manipulator of the telephone switchboard is
typical of the conditions that exist outside of Chi
cago. It is not improbable that a few of the bene
ficiaries of the beef industries, being rather new
to the usages of metropolitan society, allow them
selves a latitude of vituperation not permissible
in the hoipolloi. But our experience and observa
tion inspires the conviction that the women of the
south as a whole, and as a rule those of other parts
of the country, are exempt from such practices.
They may, as explained above, resort to pictur
esque slang in a sudden or exasperating emer
gency, but we are quite sure that the use of pro
fanity or expressions of a vulgar nature is so rare
as to excite indignant comment and protest, on
their exceptional appearance.

A “SICK BIRD.”
The Macon Telegraph in 1863 published
the following about a “Sick Bird:”
“Punch has for its principal caricature
a consultation between Old Abe and
Seward upon the condition of the Amer
ican Eagle, which is perched between
them, evidently in “a bad- fix,” Lincoln,
who is “roosting” upon a chair, his feet
upon the round, his hands under hia
chin and his elbows renting upon his
knees, remarks:
“I guess that fowl is pretty well used
up. I calculate he's going to cave in.”
“He certainly looks a little shaky at
present," says Seward, "but I see no
harm 3’et—simply moulting, sir, that’s
all—a black draught will put him all
right, sir. In thirty days that bird,, sir,
will be in better plumage than ever.”
“Well,” says Abe, “I hope so, but I
think, doctor, the black draughts already
given have pretty well played the devil
with him.”

Not far away is a passage leading to

half centuries ago and which echoed to
the footfall of the first William and his
mailed attendants. Hidden from view
under the pavements are the hoses of the
original columns of the abbey, which
have also stood since before the conquest,
and adjoining the Utle cloister Is a gar

HEESE Is the common form
in which the caseine of
milk is used in a separate
state as an .article of food.
In new milk, caseine is
soluble in water, and is
usually separated from the
milk in ’a coagulated or
clotted form. The propor
tion of caseine in milk is
not always the same, but
it averages about 3 per
cent. It is not coagulated
by heat. If It wefe, all
milk that is heated would
and we would have no boiled milk at all,
and humankind would be in dismay.
Rennet is most generally used in the
making of cheese, but sometimes sul
phuric, hydrochloric, nitric and acetic
acids are employed. Also, alcohol, creo
sote and an infusion of nut-galls.
Caseine forihs insoluble precipitates
with solutions of poisonous salts, such
as acetate of lead, nitrate of silver, and
corrosive sublimate. It is because of
this fortunate quality that in cases of
poisoning from any of these salts, iarge
doses of milk will save the patient. The
reason is that the caseine in the milk
at once forms an insoluble compound
with the poison, and thus holds it prison
er, as it were, and harmless, because,
as a solid body, it cannot enter into the
blood. ’Tis a fact well worth remem
bering for use in an emergency.
Caseine is composed of several ele
mental bodies, carbon, which forms more
than half of its substance, oxygen, nitro-

Of peculiar interest is the Jerusalem

curious fulfillment of a prophecy that
he should die In Jerusalem:

There are six very large reception

The countess of Warwick took the

away from Its owners, as sometimes
happens with other cheeses. Parmesian
cheese comes from Parma, Italy. It owes
its fine flavor to the peculiar herbs that
grow on the banks of the Po, where the
cattle graze. Cream cheese is made from
cream curd, which has been placed in a
cloth and allowed to drain without the
usual pressure being applied.
As an article of diet cheese is highly
nutritious, but it has costive properties,
and is therefore used chiefly as a con
diment in small quantities after a meal.
It then serves an added purpose, that of
giving an impetus to the process of di
gestion. Serves this purpose, that is, if
it is old cheese, so old as to have be
come somewhat mouldy. In this state
, cheese acts as a leaven, and causes grad-
ourdled 1fu al chemical changes to commence among
the particles of food that have been pre
viously eaten. Cheese thus aids in the
dissolving of food which must take
place before the process of digestion can
proceed.
A striking illustration of this property
of cheese came under the writer’s obser
vation some years ago. A lady was sud
denly prostrated by an attack of acute
indigestion. The food she had eaten lay
in a hard, compact mass in the stom
ach. and all the efforts of the several
physicians who were called in were in
vain. Nothing could be found to dis
solve the cause of the patient’s suffer
ings. In the midst of her agony she call
ed for cheese. It was the one thing she
craved, the one thing that she felt her
stomach would not reject, but her physi
cians refused the request a3 suicidal.
Cheese was one of the worst things she
could take and it would only add to her
pain, such was their verdict. But there
wa3 one young doctor, scarcely more
than a student, who would have given
the patient the cheese she asked for, not
only because the others had given up the
case as hopeless in any event, but be
cause he had faith in its digestive pow
ers.
Well, the patient died. An autopsy was
held and the young physician made a re
quest that was granted by his elders, al
most with a smile. He scattered some
old cheese, grated, over Vie hard mass
that had been taken from the stomach.
In a short time, to the amazement of the
amused onlookers, the mass began to
soften, and soon it fell apart, dissolved.
Then those wtee men, the seniors, ac
knowledged that had they yielded to the
craving of their patient she wouid have
been saved. It was a leisson that they
never forgot. That observant young doc
tor is today one of the leading physicians
of the United States.
The cheese of Switzerland deserves spe
cial mention, not only because of its ex
cellent quality, but because of the pecu
liar customs that obtain in connection
with it, showing the high esteem in which
it is held in that weird country of ro
mance. The social rank of a family in
Switzerland is estimated by the age of
Its cheese. The greater the respect or '
affection felt for a guest, the older the j
cheese set before him. In the pantry'of
every well-to-do Swiss family will be
found as many cheeses as there are j
boys and girls. For always, at the birth
of each child, a cheese is made, and put
away on the pantry shelves, marked
with the name of its owner.
AT THE WEDDING.
These cheeses are never cut until the
wedding day of their owners. On this
momentous occasion every guest must
partake of the two cheeses, the bride’s
and the groom’s, in order to secure for
the newly wedded pair all earthly thrift
and happiness. But not all of the
cheeses are eaten. A portion of each
is reserved to serve as a friendly souvenir
and a heartfelt token of mourning, at
the funerals of the same pair when the
time has come for them to part with

portioned in the order named. It cab be
extracted from vegetation a s well as

sweet and bitter almonds, peas and
beans, and is also’ found in tea and

resembles the caseine from milk that the
one can hardly be told from the other,
either by chemical tests or by taste.
This is so essentially the fact, that in
certain parts of China, notably in the

The caseine of milk, in the form of
cheese, has been used as food for
centuries, ever since advancing civiliza

the first it ha3 been highly esteemed
for its taste, nutritive value, and for its
digestive powers. There are many va
rieties of cheese, and they owe their
differences not only to the food of the
cows, but to the different ways of treat
ing the milk. Skimmed milk cheese is
made from milk from which the cream
has been removed. This cheese is natur-

such as arnotto. or {he well-known “but
ter color” which is one of the products
of that wonderful substance, coal oil.
The color must be added before the
milk is coagulated, not only In this
variety of cheese, but in all others in
which it ic used at all. Sweet milk
cheese Is made in the same way, from
unskimmed mu- and most of the butter

Stilton cheese is the name of an especi

The czar has received a delegation of

his winter palace of Tsarskoe-Selo. Hi
addressed them as follows:
“I have summoned you in drder tha*
you may hear my words front mysrt*v
and communicate them to your con.
panions. The recent lamentable event:
with such sad but inevitable results
have occurred because you allowed your
selves to be led astray by traitors and
enemies to our country.
“When they Induced you to address a
petition to me on your needs they de
sired to see you revolt against me and
mj- government.
“They forced you to leave your hon
est work at a period when all Russian
workmen should be laboring unceasing
ly in order that we might vanquish our
obstinate enemy. Strikes and disgrace
ful demonstrations led the crowds to
disorders which obliged and always will
oblige the authorities to call out troops.
“As a result innocent people were vic

ingmen Is not easy. Many things require
improvement, but have patience. You
will understand that it is necessary fb be
just toward your employers and consid
er the condition of our Industries. But
to come to me as a rebelious mob In
order to declare your wants is a crime.
In my solicitude for the working
classes, I will take measures which will
assure that everything possible will be
done to improve their lot and secure

through legal channels.
“I am convinced of the honesty of the
workmen and their devotion to myself,
and I pardon their transgression. Re
turn to you r work with your comrades
and carry out the tasks alotted to you.
“May God assist you.”
It is hoped that this address will con
ciliate the discordant elements. St.
Petersburg appears to have resumed its
normal calm, although there are rumors
of riots In Warsaw, Kieff, Ludz and oth
er provincial cities. Minister of the In-
tehior Svlatopolk Mirsky has resigned,
and it is rumored he will be succeeded
by Sergius Witte, president of tlie com
mittee of ministers.
An unconfirmed rumor is circulating to
the effect that in an unsuccessful effort
to outflank Oyama, Kuropatkin lost be
tween thirty and forty thousand troop.*,
while the Japanese loss exceeded seven
thousand. Another great battle is re
posted as imminent.
