MYSOST. A Norwegian Cheese That Is Made of Goats' Milk. There is a terrible kind of Norwegian cheese called "mysost,” which is made of goats’ milk, it is brown in color and served in the shape of bricks done up in silver paper. The Initiated shave this into thin films and make it into a sandwich with black bread and butter. This cheese is really made from the whey after proper cheese has been manufactured. All the water is then boiled out. and the remainder is compressed into these browu bricks, which taste sweet and gritty. Love ot this cheese would take some time to acquire. The opportunity is not lacking, for it appears at every meal, from breakfast onward. There are several native cheeses. Another terrible one. "pultost,” is made with caraway seeds and always smells as if ft bad gone bad. Mysost has no smell, fortunately, only a terrible aspect and taste. Dr. Julius Nicholyson sent a few Norwegian delicacies to a friend in Germany, and. among others, be put in a piece ot the native mysost. His friend wrote and thanked him for the salmon, etc., and then continued. ’•The soap is very nice, but we find great difficulty in making the lather.’’ This was the cheese!—London Saturday Review. AMERICAN CRACKERS. Pilot Bread the First Variety Made In the United States. The first cracker produced in the United Sta’es, so tar as known, was pilot or sh'p bread, a large, round, clumsy, crisp which supplied the demand ot the merchant marine for an article of food that would, un like ordinary bread, keep for a prolonged period. Later another variety was originated. the cold water cracker, which differed from the first chiefiy in its smaller size, more compact texture and greater hardness. For a long time these two were the only goods known to the trade. They were both made of unleavened dough mixed and kneaded by hand, and the crackers were rolled out and shaped separately before being placed, one at a time, on a long handled sheet Iron shovel or peel and transferred in order to tbe floor of the oval shaped tile oven then in use. It was not until some time later that raised or fermented dough was used In tbe manufacture of crackers, and it is only within tbe past three-quarters of a century that any great variety has been produced.—Bakers’ Weekly.

Dogs and Somersaults. As there is more than one way of cooking a goose, so there Is more than one method of teaching a dog to throw somersaults. But the most practical and thorough manner is to fasten a cord around tbe body of the animal close to tbe fore legs, and two people should bold the ends of tbe cord on either side of the unfortunate dog. A third party, armed with a stout rope, takes a position immediately in front of tbe canine acrobat and with a measured and masterly stroke flogs the floor at close quarters to tbe dog’s nose. At each stroke of the rope the dog springs backward, and that movement is the trainer’s golden opportunity. As the dog springs backward tbe rope passing under its body is jerked upward, and, although the first few attempts may prove futile, the somersault is acquired in course of time. An intelligent dog soon sickens of this order of things and throws somersaults without the assistance of ropes. And Yet the King Died. During the fatal illness of King Charles 11. of England there were fourteen doctors in attendance, and they dosed him In the course of five and a half days with the following drugs and powders: Orange infusion of tbe metals, white vitriol dissolved In compound peony water, powder of sacred bitter, sirup of buckthorn, common decoction for clysters, rock salt, emetic wine, two blend pills, bryony compound, powder of white hellebore roots, powder of cowslip flowers, best manna, cream of tartar, barley and liquorice, sweet almond kernels, sal ammoniac, antidotal milk water, mallow root, melon seeds, chicken broth, bark of elm, a julep of black cherry water, flowers of lime, lilies of the valley, spirit of lavender, prepared pearls and white sugar candy, senna leaves, ale. sirup of cloves, Goa stone, Rhine win* oriental bezoar stone and a number o other medicines.
