The people j v .u . i* of this country have not yet learned tc eat cheese, but they are coming to it.; Let me tell you the consumption per capita in England is nearly thirteen pounds a year, while in Wisconsin it is oirfy about three pounds u year to each person. We are away above the aver age of the states in the consumption of 1 cbeeso, notwithstanding we are so far behind the Englishmen in this respect r rtiere were produced in Wisconsin dur ing the past year 90,000,000 pounds of which is more than a quarter of tte whole amount produced in.the Unit-' ed States.

WHITNEY. operation was decided upon, and was performed by Dr. Bull. The pa tient rallied so well that it was fully believed he would recover. Septicaemia was the immediate cause of death. A semi-official ac- I couut of his last hours is to tho ef fect that, the toxin which produced peritonitis following the operation for appendicitis gradually spread through the tissues of the body until it reach ed the brain cells, when there was paralysis and death. The physicians had concluded to open the superfleial wound and exam ine the area from which the pus was absorbed by the drain inserted after the operation. It was impossible to make this examination without putting the patient under the influence of an anaesthetic on account of the great pain. Ether was administered, the wound was opened and the lower part examined. Before the examination was concluded it was noticed that Mr. Whitney was sinking. The administra tion of ether was immediately stop ped, hut before its effects could wear off he was dead. Payne Whitney, the second son ot his wife, daughter of Secretary oi State Hay. arrived from Georgia a few hours two late. Mrs. Almech Hughes Paget, the el der daughter, who has been living for several years in London, is reported to have sailed, and it is said the fami ly will if possible, delay fhe funeral until she arrives.

An alarm which will have a novel sound to most laymou is uttered by Dr. TT enry Kraemer in the American Jo M ! of Pharmacy. It is that if the pn ® c rate of gathering native herbs and drugs continues for ten years it is j probable that our principal medicinal plants will be well nigh exterminated unless measures are taken to conserve them. The cutting off of the forests also en dangers these growths. Some of our well known plants are already nearly j exterminated. Among these are spige- iia, sorpentaria, senega and cypripe- dium. The following classification is given: | Cultivated medicinal plants in the j United States. 190; wild indigenous or | neutralized, ITS; foreign plants that ! might be cultivated, 56; foreign plants j uncertain as to cultivation, 75. Ap- : proximately three-fourths of all medic- ; inal plants are growing wild or in cnl- i tivation in this country, and of the ! rest probably one-balf could be grown here. ' AN OLD COLD.
