NEW YEARS’ CALLS.
ee
New Year’s day passed off quietly. There was less calling than on this day in other years. The good old custom is ap- perently fast going out. It will bea pity if itshould go outaltogether. The good- will of friends to friends, sbown by a New Year’s call, should, of itself, be aufficient to preserve it. Surely it is not too much to take from a year of selfish endeavor a single day for the making of a friendly visit. The warm shake of the hand, the pleasany smile, the mutual expression of thank ful- ness for the blessings of the old year, and the anticipations of prosperity with the coming of the new, should, in all generovs men, be an imcentive for making the time- honored call. For, after all, what in life is more pleasant than to wis) your friends beneath their
or neighbors own roofs, a Happy New Year? Bur- dens and cares enough the year
wil! certainly bring. Surely, at its dawn, everyone can sey the kindly word and do the kindly deed.
The nature of man is such that the manifestation of the good-will of hia fellow-man gives him pleasure. When it is withheld he is troubled. When it is given grudgingly he is offended. With the New Year the coldness, the neglec!, the feel- iags that are produced by what is some- times aaid to be a failure of due apprecia- tiogs and proper personal recognition should be forgotten and forgiven and a broad generous human sympathy should alone prevail. The sulleaness, engender- ed by supersensitiveness, should be chas- ed from the heart, and the whole nature of wan should be vivified by the presence of what might be called a super-buman joy. For the joy that comes with the New
Year is not of the earth earthy.
Some persons say that they have out~ growa the old custom,—that it is not indicative of true manliness or consistency todo, inthis respect, what our fathers have done. Others say that it lacks that sturdy independence and that commend- able indifference that shonid characterize every stroog-minded individual. Let those who thiok or talk in that way try to briog before the imagination how strong- minded they are likely to be in the hour of distress, of affliction, of misfortune or of sorrow. Their “sturdy independence” and their “commendable indifference” will goon leave them and the naked weakness of their selfish natures will be miserably revealed.
To be kiad, to be good-natured, to be joyful, and to carry joy to others, 1# not to be weak. To be sullen to be ill-tempered, to refuse to wring gladuess to the heart of friend and neighbor isnot to be strong. “The bravest sre the tenderest.” May the “New Year's call” never pasa away. May those who have made it this year live to make it for many years, and may those who have bven reminded of what once was regarded as obligatory, never again allow the New Year's Sun to go down without haying made the New Year’s call, Our time here ie short, the opportunitias for friendly greetings are few. To some thay will never come again and all must wigh for “The touch of a vanished hand aad the sound of a voice that is still.”

DIFFERENT CONDITIONS.
< Tne Guardian quotes from the anony- mous letter of a correspondent of the Patriot that “ over 10,000 rivets ” were atarted upon one occasion when the Stanley attempted to come from Pictou to Charlottetowa, sod says that * facts like this should rivet the attention of the Gor- erument.” But the Patriot’s correspondent god the Guardian have forgotten to state that the attempt referred to was made in the month of March—after four month? of yeavy frost—aot at the beginning of winter. A gentleman who was on board the Stanley
, unbrokem sheet to the Island shore.
THE DAILY EXAMINER CHARLOTTETOW
atthe time wrote for description of the trip.
following pafagraph :
“We steam through the Cariboo Chan- nel and soog right the ice stretching in an We coast along the Nova Scotia shore till we ure up weet of Point Prim, and then, tak- ing Advantage of a slight opening, the Stanley heads up for tle Island and charges upon the ice. And now the fizht begin reen ice from two to three fret thick/is met aud conquered. Ice rafted up te eight and ten feet is pushed aside or scattered, and so long as there is enough water to allow the mass to open for us, the good ship pushes her way. By 2 p. m., we are eight miles from Point Prim, and there, from the mast-head, no water io sight ahead of us,to the right hand or to the left. Ice im fields, ice in hummdcke, ice piled up on all sides of us, We push on till we stick fast. For a while as least there seems neither advance nor retreat. For nearly ten minutes we g> full speed astern, and not a movement. Then, gradu- ally, the icefield loosens its hold, and back we go. For an hour there was this alter- nate advance and retreat, uotil the good ship had cut away enough ice to give her room to come about, and then sadly we turned our back upon Point Prim and beaded for Georgetown. But we bad no small difficulty to face on our way back. Once and again we siuck, but through it all the Stanley forced her way, uatil at 7.39 p. m. we were at Georgetown wharf. ”
Tus Examiner a We quote the
The ideathat the conditions existing during last week and atthe present time are similar to those which existed when the rivets are alleged to have been started ie, in view of this descr.ption, ridiculous. It is not wonderful that the Guardian reaches false conclusions when it is so careiess about its facts. To try to excuse Sir Louis Davies’ failure to make good the expectations raised by him by throwing the blame upon the captain and the ship ia all very well,—if the facts and circum- stances justify the attempt. But they do not.

—Captain May was one of the first of our citizens to join the great majority in the current year 1898. For many years the Captain was a successful shipmaster in the West India trade, sailing in Hon. D. Davies’ vessels. He was atypical Haglish sea- nian with the strength and weakness, the virtues and follies ot his class. He hada premonition of his departure, and , before he died, gave minute directions concerning his funeral, paid bis little bills, had him- reif shaved and was measured for a new suit of clothing in which to be decently laid out. He was a mem ber of the Masonic fraternity.

A FEW THOUGHTS FOR CHEESE- MAKERS
Paper Read Before the Cheese and Buttermakers Association by R. E. Spillett
We have now to contend with keen competition in the dairy markets of the world. The art of cheesemaking is not only a science but a very progressive one, and in order to keep up with, and in line with our competitors, we should not only keep well posted by dairy literature but practice any original genius we may possess. Each maker must assume the individual responsibility of instructing and advising the patrons how totake care of the milk so that it will arrive at the factory in a good, sweet condition. Excellent aad practical information has been distributing from time to time by the Department of Agriculture and if read and closely fol- lowed would relieve us of much extra work, worry and trouble, but I am afraid that after they are read, they are often thrown aside and forgotten, so it remains with you to remind the thought- less patron every opportunity. I find no one can be of mure service in this good work than the “carriers.” Get them interested. Explain to them where the trouble lies, and ask them to call,acd draw the negligent patrons attention to the matter, and io nine cases out of ten you will be pleased with the result. Don’t forget to remind them of emptying and washing their cabs just as soon as possible after being returned from the tactory—for the acid in the whey will soon corrode and eat the tinning off the inside of the can, leaving it unfit for the purpose it was intended for. Practice Careand discre- tion at the receiving can, rejecting any milk you are sure would injure the flavor of your cheese, Act firmly and conscientiously in the interest of your company, giving the directors of your factory as little unnecessary trouble as you can, for on them rests the burden of the battle. I will not enter into the de- tails of making, but will confine myself to a few thoughts in regard to the “curing” and shipping. Now, we all know that no matter how well cheese are made they can be damaged—or even spoiled —in the curing process. They require an even, steady temperature of from 60 degrees to 65 degrees Fahr. Now, in order to preserve an even temperature, the first outlook should be for a well constructed curing room, of which all on the Island are—with but few ex- ceptions. Now, the rest remains with the heating apparatus, let it be either stove or steam piper, and the attention they receive. 1! have gone into a curing room in the morning, and found the temperature not much above 40 de- grees. Gointo this same room again, some time during the afternoon, and you will probably find the temperature up to 70 degrees or 80 degrees. Now, we cannot expect to have a well cured cheese where a fluctuation in tewpera- ture to this extent occurs. Look after your fires late and early when they are needed. Too many makers think: when five or six o'clock comes the care and responsibility for that day should cease, and will lock up their factory until some time the next morning, or proba- bly after dinner, if they are only run- ning every other day. If any who practice this. have a secret for manag- ing their fires so as to keep up an even temperature for so long a time, he will confer a blessing on his fellow makers by giving them the recipe. _
I would also like to draw your atten- tion to the fact that from many of our factories the cheese have been shipped altogether too green, while in some cases only a few days after leaving the press: If this indiscriminate plan be continued we will soon ruin our repu- tation for quality. The consumer will look for sowething bettér than a piece of chil ed or half-frozen curd, end late in the fall cheese will cure but very little, if any, in transit. Right here a strong argument could be produced in favor of buying outright rather than consigning—for when bought, the fuli market quotation is offered, making the buyer anxious to see his goods are shipped in the best possible condition, or he throws himself liable either toa reprimand ora reclamatior, where, if be consigns, he only advances a certain percentage of this amount, procures his comniission. and the financial respor- sibility rests with the producer for the balance. Buyers should be encouraged to visit the factories, so that they could inspect the quality,and buy accordingly.
This would encourage companies who go to the expense of securing only first- class men, and reward the interest and enterprise shown by themselves. Box your cheese carefully and neativ. Do not have your cheese two inches too high for the boxes, or have the box too high over the cheese. We are inclined to overlook the little mat- tere, but in the future we cannot afford todoso. Try and mske every point count.
—Some of the United States papers express a desire that England may get “the lion’s share” of China, eo that the States mav have freedom of trade there and be safe when they trade. However beneficial the rule of Britain is to the States and the world at large. it is safe to eay that the British Government wil] not lay hands ou Chisa after the manrer of Germany and Russia. British statesmen bear in mind the fact that “ Righteou: ness exalteth a nation.”
