f* The atory of the great dices* made at
Cheshire la 1801 ami sent the following I
winter to President Jefferson as a
New Year's present lias been many |
times tokl In prose and verse, but Is
worthy of repetition as an Interesting '
Mt of local history, showing, as It does, 1
the patriotic spirit by which the good '
people of Cheshire were moved and the 1
novel manner they chose for its ex- 1
presslon.
i In t^psc days Cheshire was famous
for three things?Its exceptionally line '
dairying Interests and products, the J
well nigh universal adhesion of the '
voting population to the Democratic
party and Elder John Leland, an able, '
eccentric and witty ltaptlst divine,
whose fame is n part of the history of
Cheshire. Elder Leland and most of
the other people of the town were ardent
admirers of Thomas Jefferson, 1
and when he was elected president of I
the United States their joy was un- |
bounded. It was Anally decided that
It would be proper to give to their esteem
a tangible expression In the form
of a mammoth cheese, which should
show to the president the quality of
their mnterial resources and something
of the extent of their admiration for
him.
I The announcement of this plan was ,
made by Elder Leland from his pulpit
one 8unday morning and was received
With pleasure by the people. July 20,
1801, was the dote 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- '
lets there were, to moke their curd and
carry It to a central place for pressing. I
Of course there was no cheese press j
large enough for the pressing of such a
cheese as was proposed, and Ellsha
Brown's cider press was consequently
selected for the work.
I When the day came for making the
cheese the people gathered from all
parts of the town. Those who bad curd
<o contribute brought it with them,
some in large quantities and some lu
small, but all extremely proud to contribute
to the monster cheese that wns
to be sent to the president n^siues be- I
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 witne s the construction
of what proved t:> be the
most fttaous choose In all history, for.
though a still larger elioose wa < made
In the" town at a later date, this wa<
the president's cheese, and the great
J5lder Lelatid. who in the es'.hn viq i of
the people of Cheshire was second i*i
Importance only to President .Teffoivon
himself, was leading and dlrec'ing the
snterprise. Most of tho o present wore
arrayed in their Sunday heft, though |
the women who superintended the mixing
of the curd were obliged to wear
protecting aprons.
t The lioop in which the ehcce was
pressed was made for the occns'on. 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
. plaoed in this hoop, a follower which
had also been made especially for the
purpose was placed upon it, and the
ponderous wooden screws of the old
cider mill were turned down on the
most precious body they hnd ever compressed.
After nil wns done n hymn
lined off l>y Elder Lcland wns sung by
assemblage, and the people scpnd
for their homes, highly satisfied
,wail and very proud of their day's
work. Rome dnvs nfter It wns made
A MEASURE OF MERIT.
Union* Citizens Should
Weigh Well this Evidence.
Proof of the merit lies in the evidence.
Convincing evidence in Union is not
the testimony of strangers, but the endorsement
of Union people. That's the
kind of proof given here. The statement
of a Union citizen:
J. R. Porter, printer, employed on
the Progress, living on 8outn Church
Street, says: 'I have never felt better
in my life than 1 have since 1 used
Doan's Kidney pills which I procurod
at Holmes Pharmacy. I was a great
sufferer from backache for a number of
years. My trouble was right across the
small of my back and the pain was
q sometimes so severe that I thought my
uacK wouiu oroaa in^wo. i nave plastered

and one mass of bl latere, but in spite of
all I could do, nothing seemed to help

tlio cheese was taken to Captain Daniel
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, anil the cheese was followed by
a big procession. Moses Wolcott, wj^o
kept the "tavern," gave a feast to all
present and thereby linked his name to
this part of the town's history.

LIFE BY THE CLOCK.
Doing Thing* on Time Mar Be Car.
rlrd to Uaasrmai Extreme*.
All eminent physician at a recent
gathering of his profession directed
notice afresh to the dally tension under
which most Americans do their work.
We rise on time, he reninrked, In the
morning, whether by an alarm clock,
by the call of n servant or by liahlt, eat
breakfast and read the paper on time,
a clock In every room and n watch frequently
In our hand. We then, on time,
meet oHlcc and outside engagements,
Always preconsldcrlng the amount of
time tlint will be required and timing
the next engagement accordingly. Often
we sulidlvlde this time and note by
our watches exactly how long we can
discuss a subject.
Doubtless punctuality Is n virtue.
Doubtless also the practice of doing
things exactly on time lias won for us
as a people a large measure of Industrial
success. Hut, carried to an extreme;
ns 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 ns the
linblt of i-ompresslng every bit of work
within prearranged limits of time. Ix?t
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 he nmar.ed to
find how much easier it will go than
when he is timing himself ami sehom.
Ing to bring the prescribed task within
a fixed number of minutes.
Wo know n great deal more at>out
sanitary matters than our fathers and
grandfathers knew. We have hunted
down microbes. Wo have concocted
serums. Diseases which were once regarded
as visitations of Providence we
now know to bo 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 fnet.
Perhaps they might do 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 wearing
of these Is the habit of bringing all
details of our work within exnct time
limits.?Boston Transcript.
SCIENCE SIFTINGS.
The chemical forces arc nearer akin
to the vital forces than to the physical
forces.
A body weighing one pound on earth
would weigh twenty-seven and a half
pounds upon the sun.
The mechanical force of the sound
emitted from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000
cornets would equal but one horse
power.
The highest speed which matter has
been known to reach Is that attained
by the eruption of hydrogen and other
gases from the sun, which Is at times
several hundred miles a second.
The star Slrlus, which is shown to be
about double the size of our sun, emits
from forty to sixty fold more light than
the sun owing to Its matter being much
more diffused.
Two hundred and eighty stars north
of ? 20 declension have n velocity
through space of twenty miles per second.
The speed of our solar system Is
but 12.4 miles per second.
The most delicate scale is made by
fixing one end of a fine thread of glass.
The atom to be weighed Is placed at the
free end and the degree of the bending
of the thread under It noted. This has
to be done under a glass which magnifies
a hundred times.

One day Sir Algernon West, a well
known member of parliament from
London, was observed by one of the
doorkeepers talking to a gentleman
who had a rasping, raucous voice and a
demonstrative, excited manner. While
the conversation was In progress Sir
Algernon received the card of another
member of parliament and an intimation
that Its owner wished to sec him.
"Sorry; I'm engaged," was the answer.
Next moment up came another card
from a well known peer. Again an
apology was returned. In another minute
the doorkeeper came carrying a
huge card and saying that the lord
ma3*or and sheriffs of London wished
very urgently to see Sir Algernon. The
latter excused himself from the gentleman
with whom he was conversing.
This was too Important to resist
"There nln't nobody hero," whispered
the doorkeeper when he got the member
outside, "only I was afraid a madman
had been shown in to you by mistake,
and I wanted to warn you."
