CLEANINGS.

Tukjie are in China about 300 tftissioiK' aries of all varieties*, of 'the Christian* Church, which a British clergyman calculates is about equal to four men sent to introduce a new religion, into London, ,or 27 for all England and Wales. To make the case 'wholly' comparable, , the men must be barbarians, wholly ignorant of the language, and so constituted by race as to make its acquirement nearly an impossibility.' ' '' ' ' t An ingenious scoundrel in' Paris has been playing the singular roip j ofs an "honest robber," and has made a "comfortable living uutil a meddling policeman spoiled the business. It was his, game to qpen the cariiage , doors ' for, ■> ladies, and as they f stepped out to possess ' himself of their purses and accessible jewellery, which he at once deposited at the nearest police station, subsequently accepting with modesty what- .. ever reward their gratitude suggested., Finally ho was caught in the act of taking' a waioh in his temporary ' posse&sion, and put where his honesty will go unrewarded. Quality ny Cheshirk Ciikhsb.— Mr P. Egerton Warburton, J.P., presided at the annual dinner of the .Vliddlewiclf Agricultuial Society at Notthwich, an<t < in the course of his observations said it was a painful tiling to say, but he was of opinion, and lie was supiwrtcd i» that opinion by his father, ,and by farmers of his acquaintance, that Cheshire cheese of the present day was not equal in quality to what it was thirty-five years ago. Although prime Cheshire cheese held its own, the Americans, who were sharp fellows, and who could make butter from grease, and bread from sawdust, had chosen to imitate, not the Gloucester, ," nor the Cheddar, but the Cheshire, be-/ cause it was the , worst. Mr Charles Griffiths, one of the judges of cheese, and Mr Fair, the manager ot ft /largo Cheshire cheese factory, said Mr AVarburton was labouring under a misapprehension. They declared that' the Cheshire cheese of to-day was the best ever made, and it wa,s of diflerent character, made to meet an early consumption, and more in accordance with modern taste. ,' '.Atlas!' remarks that a peep into a medical journal is not a bad way of spending an idle quart d'hettre. It takes you behind the scenes and into the secrets of the business. I find that nqtjOnly av ( e sledges used during the winter in some, 1 ' parts of the Highlands by medical men in pursuit of their vocation, but carrier- ' pigeons are being successfully employed to carry prescriptions to the surgery, and to bv'mg later tidings of the case. Upon the announcement of the carriage tax, country doctors took active measures for its evasion by adopting tricycle*, with a • view to dispensing with the gig. Ono practitioner says he has traversed 0000 miles on his tricycle in a hilly country with the greatest ease, only it takes " a haul month's practice." All are agreed that for night work the tricycle had ad-^ vantages, for it is always ready, and they can be miles on their journey by the time a horse and tiap can be prepared in the sleepy hours of . night. During the daytime, however, it is apt to fall a prey to the curiosity of village boya while stauding outside the patient's door. It is clear that the calm and spotless M.D. is "going out," and a dusty, soiled, and knickerbockercd doctor is rapidly coming in to feel our pulse with one hand, while wiping his , dewy forehead with the other. Fob the first three to six months skim. . milk' is, due of the best ,of Y all , foods for i heifer calves; * This'isVich in 6asein and albumen to grow .the muscles and nervous tissues, and also in phosphate of lime for the bones > and in other .mineral constituents of the animal body. It is better than whole fnilk for. this purpose. for,,t|iat contains too much fat to give a full, development to the muscles and oones. When.tlie calf is very .young, the oil in new milk is very serviceable/in keeping up a high degree of animal heat and also to furnish a little needed 'fat .toithe lean' body of a new born calf ; and for this, reason it ia well tq add sy little tailed fl^ , seed to skim milk, a tablespobnml of flax i seed jelly for a young calf, and increase it' very gradually as it) gets, .older* ; The ilax seed will prevent constipation from , ( the skim milk. 'After two 'months old, if milk is not plentiful it may be reduced, but should not be altogether stopped for some time after. ' ' '• ',•>,'
