i CHEESE BOX MAKING. S ._ I i ; 'AN EXTENSIVE INDUSTRY Or WHICH LITTLE IS KNOWN. Uulf a Million Dollars' Worth of Cases Turned Out Yearly by Expensive Ma? chinery?Uo?v tlm l."t:A Arc Cooked and Then Cut Into Unbroken Sheets. An idea of tho maguitudo of tbo jOhoeso industry in this country is given by tho fact that the boxes in which tbo (cheese is shipped represent a cost of marly $000,000 annually. It ia not niuny ycara since cheese was shipped in any kind of barrel or box which wonld hold from onoto half a dozen good sized foruiB, packed in straw to keep them frcin being bruised or broken in tho handling. It was only factory made cheese- that received such protection, while dairy cheese was sent to market destitute of any covering other than its own roughly bandaged rind, which in most cases proved invubierablo. Com jpotition among manufacturers has [Changed all this, and at present tho .manufacture of boxes gives employment rto a largo number of bands and necessi? tates tho use of powerful and expensive Uiachinory. It was customary in (be early days < f the business to saw the hoops, as the largo body of tho box is called, out of the log in planks about cm--fifth of an inch iu thickness. Tho waste of materi? al was a most serious objection to this p].::;. fully CO per cent of the timber going in sawdust. Tho invention of tho rotary cutting machine, has prevented thi.-i waste und at tho same timo pro? duced a bott< :? hoop than tho sawed arti? cle. Tho chief timber u?ed in making clu ??.???box Inxips is tho common swamp elm. Ntf other timber seems to poss< ss tiio saino qualities of lightness, tough? ness and elasticity so requisite for checkboxes as this once despised prod tact of American forests. Tho logs, aft? er being cut in the proper lengths, gen? erally 5 feet for an ordinary cheese box of 15^ or Ki inches diameter, are thrown into long vats filled with water, whoro they are boiled from is to 20 hours. Tho time roquircd to soften tho timber, or cool; it, us tho operation is called, varies according to the sizo of tho timbor and the season. Large logs icqniro to bo cooked longer than small ones, particularly when tho logs uro ' frozen. It is not uncommon to lind tho center of a log still frozen after 15 hours of boiling. Experionco is the best guide in this part of tho business, and to know when the timber is thoroughly cooked and not overdone is one of tlm things acquired ?sily by constant observation. When sufficiently boiled the logs are lifted in iron grapples from tho vats and laid on skids, whore tho baric is removed. Then a log is lifted by a cratio and swung in? to place in the machine, where it is held in a horizontal position by chucks or dogs that center it at ouch end. In this position tho log revolves liko n roll of paper in a printing press. Tho knife which does the cutting is very heavy and is bolted to a heavy bead called a carriage, which is fed forward by screws toward tho rovolviug log. In tiw> most approved machines the knifo tins an end or oscillating aa well as a forward motion. This rednces tho strain on tho machine and permits tho cutting of soft, unsound and shaky hearted logs. As tho knifo comes in contact with the timber, tho inequalities of the log aro first shorn o(T and gradually the log In? comes perfectly round and yields an un? broken sheet of lumber, liko tho unwind? ing of a roll of cloth. This sheet of wood is broken o-T in convenient lengths, which are passed under divid? ing knives that cut thorn into uniform widths corresponding with tho required depth of the box. If tho boxes are to bo made up at. oneo tho hoops are bent around iron cylinders to give them tho form of tho box, after which tho bottom ia pressed in and nailed in place. Comparatively fow boxes are put together in tho larger mills. In most cases the product, is dried and shipped to tho cheeso manufactur? ing centers, whoro tho boxes aro com? pleted. The boxe:; in I lie finished state are too bulky for economical handling. An ordinary freight ear will not con? tain more Hum 500 complete boxes, while r>,()90 can bo carried if shipped iu the bale. Tho .rem;rants which are not wide enough for hoops n -o used for t'-. > c >ver hand and fov tho narrow band that goes around the bottom of tho box. Tho box? es vary in sizo both as regards dbpth and diameter. The most common size will hold a cheese of from 00 to 05 pounds. Suchahoxis 10 inches deep and 151? inches in diameter. This is the sizo of ohceno most in demand for export. The sizo for homo consumption is a.s a rule much smaller and requires a box from 6 tod inches deep, but of tho Game diameter a.s the other. Various kinds <if timber are used to form the heads of tho box, bnt elm is tbo accepted material for tlm hoops. Owing to peculiarities of tho soil, tho timber in some localities is inclined to 1? shaky, the checks or shakes running aronnd the log and following the grain of tho timber. Such timber was useless when the hoops were sawed, but in tho rotary process much of it can be turned to good account. Tho bulk of tho elm timber used in this business is brought an from Canada. The western peninsula < >f Ontario ly? ing north ( 'i Lake Rrio coutaiued one of tho largest tracts of elm timber on tho continent. Ii bos been great ly depleted iu recent years. Logs are taken out in win? ter when tho swamps are frozen and are skidded near the railways or on tho lako shoro. The bulk of them are taken to tho mills by water in tow of powerful steam tugs.?Now York Sun. Tln-y Were Too. She?Why is T.ir. Scherzo so sad when he Bings?

Erastus Rowley Made Well by Paine's Celery Compound. ft, : As the school year opens, attention is ! directed to the oft-repeated advice of { loading educators, warning teachers, i paronts and scholars against the [jarful ' results of exhaustive brain work among young people. To thousands of girls and boys, un- | nerved by the strain of school lifo, i P*ine's celery compound, (which was. first proscribed by America's groatost i teacher, l'rof. Edward E. Phelps, MO, LL D , oi Dartmouth College) has boon a blossinir, making thorn well and H'.rong, foeding the brain and nerves, and enriching and purifying the blood, j The receDt recommendation of Palno'a cilery compound by Prinolpal Camp, of New ilaven, and tho equally outspoken praise of thlB greatost of romr-dlca by ex President Cook, of tho National Teachers' Association, are two of the thousands of such testimonials from parents and teachors throughout the country. C Nothing in the worm bo strengthens the weak, bo readily re cores lost nerve force, so surely makes the ailing and peevish young woman or growing toy woll and cheerful. And for the aael and infirm the whole world knows Ha wonderful curative powers Rev. Eraatus Rowley, presi? dent of tho famous Ken:uoky Female ColleRe, writing to the proprietors of Palnu'a celery compound, says: "I was for several years a sick man. My sickness was attended with con' fitipation, with nervousness and In? somnia, and the least excitement would caiifie palpitation of the heart I have In the last three or four years used sev? eral widely advertised preparations. Finally I took Paine's c-;lery compound, and I regird it aa superior to all others, especially If used strictly as you direct. By using this I do not Buffer f.om con? stipation, inability to sleep, or from palpitation of the heart as formerly. I am atlll using Paine's culery compound at times, and shall take pleasure in rpcnmmp'idlnjr It to ot^nrR " It Didn't Frove Suitable. "Wo can let yon hnvo tho bridal chamber," ventnrod tho 'genial hotel clerk as ho rubbed his hands nncl looked confidentially across tho register at the youngish couple. "Thut is very kind of yon," replied tho youug man a-s ho drew a nervous flourish beneath tho abbreviation "and wifo" and laid down the pen. "lint we. contemplate remaining ten days or so, and yon might need the room." "You shall not bo disturbed, I assure yon," continued tho clerk, "and tho apartment is a lovely one." "Airy?" asked tho youug man. "As to that," and a gleam of intense prido surmounted tho clerk's face, "I will say that tho room contains seven windows, all opening upon tiny veran? das. '' The young couple looked at each oth? er. Then the young woman spoke. "I don't think wo shall earo lor that room. You sco, our three children will bo hero with their nurse in the morning. Tiny can all climb like goats, and I'm suro they would bo falliug off those verandas inside of 15 minutes. " "Front," murmured tho clerk in a voice that bctray.-d deep emotion, "show this gentleman and this lady up to tho sky lloor and have tho maid pal tho nursery in order."?Truth. Glad Sh? Lives In America. "I'm glad I live in America,'' said a pretty young woman, talking to a Phil? adelphia Inquirer reporter, "bocanso I am never afraid to travel by myself. Last year I was in London and went around with a friend who is married, and wo were spoken to in an insulting manner ovc.ry timo wo went cut. Paris was still worse. People speak of tho French politeness, but it is only a veneer. Tho men would get in front of us on every street corner and smirk and oglo and chatter liko monkeys. I'm glad I didn't understand anything they said. There are no men like tho Amer? ican men, and I uevor was so fully ablo to appreciate it as I am, now I have seen thoso of other nations in their own lands. Besides, tho girls are treated bi tter hero than anywhere else on earth, and I don't want to cross the ocean any more.'' A numhl? Archbishop.

Gray and white Is a fashionablu comblnnl ion. Tailor gowns of dust gray or beige, with a skirt and open jacket, tho latter lined with whito sat in and Having whito rovers, are much liked.

Uoth skirt and bodioearc to be enriched with passementerie during the fall, but it Is said that when the winter season arrives the blouse will have retired from favor, and passementerie will bo confined to close fit? ting bodices. Soutache and embroidery in relief on bands of whito or colored cloth will also bo employed in this way. Any decided obnngo in bodices implies a corro spondinp change In skirts, but what this will be i- not yet evident. Probably skirts will decrease in size liefere long, but as yet they retain their stiffness and amplitude. It will lie a relief when they do diminish, for their weigh! is oppresslvoand tho hair? cloth necessary to hold them In shape is unmanageable and clumsy. If the fashion of drapery doe< not come In OS they prow narrower, it will be something to bo thank? ful for.
