THE MONSTER THAT CHESHIRE SENT TO PRESIDENT JEFFERSON. Nearly Every One In Town Contrib uted Curd, and Elder John Leland Bossed the Job-The Formal Pres eutation at the White House. The story of the great cheese made at Cheshire in 1801 and sent the following winter to President Jefferson as a New Year's present has been many times told in prose and verse, but is worthy of repetition as an interesting bit of local history, showing, as It does, the patriotic spirit by which the good people of Cheshire were moved and the novel manner they chose for its ex pression. In those days Cheshire was famous for three things-its exceptionally fine dairying interests and products, the well nigh universal adhesion of the voting population to the Democratic party and Elder John Leland, an able, eccentric and witty Baptist divine, whose fame is a part of the history of Cheshire. Elder Leland and most of the other people of the town were ar dent admirers of Thomas Jefferson, and when he was elected president of the United States their joy was un bounded. It was finally decided that it would be proper to give to their es teem a tangible expression in the form of a mammoth cheese, which should show to the president the quality of their material resources and something of the extent' of their admiration for him. The announcement of this plan was made by Elder Leland from his pulpit one Sunday morning and was received with pleasure by the people. July 20, 1801, was the date set for the making of the cheese, and the plan was to have all the owners of cows in the town, with the exception of the few federal ists there were, to make their curd and: carry it to a central place for pressing. Of course there was no cheese press large enough for the pressing of such a cheese as was proposed, and Eisha Brown's cider press was consequently selected for the work. -- When the daycMme for making the' cheesp-i 'p~~eople gathered from all tpids of the town. Those who had curd to contribute brought it with them, some In large quantities and some in small, but all extremely proud to con tribute to the monster cheese that was to be sent to the president. Besides be ing a busy day it was also a gala.day for the inhabitants of Cheshire. The farmers and their wives and families turned out en masse to witness the con struction of what proved to be the' most famous cheese in all history, for, though a still larger cheese was made in the town at a later date, this was the president's cheese, and the great Elder Leland, who in the estimation of the people of Cheshire was second In importance only to President Jefferson himself, was leading and directing the enterprise. Most of those present were arrayed in their Sunday best, though the women who superintended the mix ing of the curd were obliged to wear protecting aprons. The hoop in which the cheese was pressed was made for the occasion. It was four feet in diameter and eighteen Inches deep and was secured with strong bands of .iron to enable it to stand the pressure. When all of the curd had been mixed and salted It was placed in this hoop, a follower which had also been madec especially for the purpose was placed upon it, and the ponderous wooden screws of the old cider mill werd turned down on the most precious body they had ever com pressed. After all was done a hymn lined off by Elder Leland was sung by the assemblage, and the people sepa rated for their homes, highly satisfied with and very proud of their day's work. Some days after it was made the cheese was taken to Captain Dan el Brown's cheese house to be cured. Its weight one month from the time it was pressed was 1,235 pounds. The moving of the cheese from the cider press to Captain Brown's was made a great occasion. The people turned out again, anzd the cheese was followed by a big procession. Moses Wolcott, who kept the "tavern," gave a feast to all present and thereby linked his name to this part of the town's history. The following December the great cheese was sent to Washington in charge of Elder Leland and Darius Brw.There were no railroads in those days, and It was drawn on a sled to Hudson, N. Y., and shipped from there by water. The presentation of the cheese to the president was an event of moment in Washington. The presentation was made at the White House in the presence of the cabinet, foreign diplomats and other notables, Elder Leland serving as spokesman and assuring the president in suitable terms of the great esteem in which he was held by the people from whom the gift had come.-Springfield Republican.

A startling incipent is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continual in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electrte Bitters; to my great jov, the first bottle made a decided improve ment. I continued their use for three weks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another vic tim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents. guaranteed, at The RI. LIFE BY THE CLOCK. Doing Things on Time May Be Car ried to Dangerous Extremes. An eminent physician at a recent gathering of his profession directed notice afresh to the daily tension under which most Americans do their work. We rise on time. he remarked, in the morning, whether by an alarm clock. by the call of a servant or by habit, eat breakfast and read the paper on time, F a clock in every room and a watch fre quently in our hand. We then, on time, meet office and outside engagements, always preconsidering the amount of time that will be required and timing the next engagement accordingly. Of ten we subdivide this time and note by our watches exactly how long we can discuss a subject. Doubtless punctuality is a virtue. Doubtless also the practice of doing things exactly on time has won for us as a people a large measure of indus trial success. But, carried to an ex treme, as it often is, it is wearing to the individual. The people whose nerves break down from exhaustion incident to overwork are often not so much the victims of overwork as the habit of compressing every bit of work within prearranged limits of time. Let any one try the experiment of doing a given piece of work steadily and with application, but without noticing by his watch or clock how much time he is consuming, and he will be amazed to find how much easier it will go than when he is timing himself and schem ing to bring the prescribed task within a fixed number of minutes. - We know a great deal more about sanitary matters than our fathers and grandfathers knew. We have hunted down microbes. We have concocted serums. Diseases which were once re garded as visitations of Providence we now know to be preventable, and we take suitable means of preventing them. All these discoveries and new remedies ought to diminish the death rate and to. promote longevity. They have not done so, as...a'matter of fact. Perhaps they mightAo so if they had a fair chance. The trouble is that along with these devices for -lengthening life we are adopting practices which tend to shorten it. One of the most -wear ing of these is the habit of bringing all details of our work within exact time limits.Bost . script MEXICAN CUSTOMS. Female friends kiss on both cheeks when greeting or taking leave. Gentlemen speak first when passing lady acquaintances on the street When a Mexican speaks to you of his home he refers to it as "your house." The sofa is the seat of honor, and a guest waits to be invited to occupy it Men and women in the same social circles call each other by their first names. Mexican gentlemen remove their hats as scrupulously upon entering a busi ness office as in a private residence. Dinner calls are not customary, but upon rising froi the table the guest thanks his host for the entertainment After a dance the gentleman returns his partner to her seat beside her par ents or chaperon and at once leaves her side. The fashionable call of a few min utes is unknown. A lady who arrives at 4 o'clock will remain until 0 or 7. The calls of intimate friends are half day visits. Her Little Joke. They were in the studio. Artists' trappery and bohemian paraphernalia were placed about the room with studied carelessness. Heavy tapestries and portieres choked the walls. Costly statuary, mediaval firearms, poniards, yataghans and priceless and historic armor were ranged idly about the room. Seated ~ on a heavily upholstered divan, eying the American heiress at work on an intricate landscape, was the duke. "Bah Jove!" he ejaculated suddenly. "Do you know, Miss Millyins, I'm wrapped up in you and" "Huh!" interrupted the wealthy maiden with Yankee sarcasm. "I don't see why you should be wrapped up. I haven't bought you yet." The duke sat dumfounded, wonder ing what there was in her remark to cause a smile to break out over her sweet visage.-New York Times. Monkey and Parrot In Brazil. In Brazil monkeys and parrots have interests in commo'b. They not only roost in the same trees, but work for mutual benefit. The monkeys cannot easily pick the big Brazil nut husks from the trees, so the parrots gnaw them loose, allowing them to drop, the fall to the ground splitting them. Then the monkeys tear the cracked husks asunder, gather the nuts and divide them with the parrots. Sometimes, when the husks fall to split, the mon keys carry them up to the highest limbs of the tree and let them drop again. Monkey and parrot enjoy their harvest side by side.
