(New Torle World.) •
•ChadieS W. Ayers, clerk at A. T. Stewart
•4 Co.'s, Who lived at Astoria, L. I., married
last june Miss Hattie M. Coles, the daughter
of one of his neighbors, The young couple,
after making their wedding tour, returned
to Astoria, and Ayres proposed to his wife,
that they should go to live with his father.
To this the young wife objeeted, as she
wanted to have. a home of be own, and
they went to live at the Tborburn House,
in Astoria, near the sterns:shoat landing.
Here the couple resided happily for a short
„time, but BOOB another disagreement areas,
Concerning this accounts differ. Some say
that Ayres objected to the expense- of
the establiahment and -urged his wife
to accept a home with his parent%
while others claim that Mrs. Ayres,
wile is universality spoken of RS a young
lady of great discretion, was attracting
more attention from the male guests in the
hotel than her husband approved of. All,
however, agree in &lying that nothing in
Mo. Ayres' conduct •was calculated to
• excite her husband's jealousy. Six weeks

ing his wife, or at least withott regard to
her expressed. wishes., resolved to move his

.Astoria, for -several days„..and it was subse-
quently ascertained that she tiiid deserted,
her husband and taken np her temporary
residence with a friend or relative in
Harlem. It was further discovered as the
moving progressed, that Mrs. Ayres had
left he wedding ring on the dressing:table:

deeply felt by :the young husband. The

The Mullilahteture ot Cheeme-The PrOdnet
of Difierent Countries.
Cheese wee emone the Drat edibles, and
from time immetnonal has formed au im-
portant part bf the food of matakind, Tes
say exactly in what Size, shape and manney:
Cheese was (served up to the tables of the
most apoiena Chaldeans, Egyptians, Hin.
does or Chinamen would be difecult,laut we
have abundant evideuee that it was there.
Of the mode of menufaoture we know as
little. In those days of primitive ideas slid
rude implements, butter wag gerierally
churned by rititoing the cream in it skin
which two women (shook, much in the same
manner that %housewife weuld shake it car-
pet to-day,or the more advanced method was
!sometimes resorted to of placing the skins
on the muleasbackand -trotting the animal
along it stony road, The manufacture of
cheese most have been equally rude. Ckeese
of some kinds is made in all countries. The
Chinese frona time remote have made and
consumed cheese made of peas and beans
to an enormous extent. In Saxony the fair-
haired rustic often fres sumptuously on
cheese made from the Potato, hie rye bread
and pilsener lager beer, In the green oases
of ,Arabia -those islands of verdure in an
ocean el asand-the nomadic tribes, the
Bedouins and Ara.bs,gather the fruit of the
date palni, that tree whioli they believe
the Angela transported from paradise,
which serves them its food and raiment, and
with the addition of 'several ingredients,
make therefrom a cheese which forms a
principal article in the food of the cara-
vans, who either with the fleet horses or
the " phip ef the desert" wander' from
place tepla-mirturtredera-Kihieves. The"
difference between either is not very great.
' Several districts in different countries
have become noted for their cheese, .which
.owes its peculiarities often to the milk and
sometimes to the secret in the manner of
• preparing it. In Neufchatel the cheese is
made smelly trona cream, In Holland,
apart from the ordinary cheese, of cannon
ball shape, ie the Gouda cheese, whit*
owes its peculiarity of flavor -to the hydro-
chloric acid used. in its manufacture. The
flavor of the celebrated 'Westphalia °been
is obtained by allowing it to become
putrid before compressing it, Parmesan
cheese is manufactured in the richest part
of ' the Milanese territory, and is made
wholly of skim milk: Gruyere is made in
the cantons of . the Alps in Switzerland..
The milk of all the farmers. is turned into
•a common stook, and each receives at the
end of the season his individual share of -
•the profit. In England old Stilton olusese
is almost as great an institution as the
•"Roast Beef" and "Plum Pudding." In
Chautauqua County, New York, there are
et keit one ha -tared factories engaged in
the manufacture of cheese. But nowhere
are there better factories, more excellent
product, r a more stirring business than in
Ontario. • `

fiThe -Speed:of Thenglat... .....
• HelmbOltz showed that awave of thought
would require about a minute to traverse a'
mile of nerve, and Hirsch found that a
'touch on the face wah recognized by the
brain, and responded to by a,mitnual
in the seventh of a seond. He also .found
• that the speed of sense differed fa different.
organs, the sense of hearing being responded
to in a -sixth of a iseeend ; While that of.
sight required only one-fifth second to be
• felt and sigpelled. In all these cases the
distance's traversed were about the same,
so the inference :is that images travel more
'slowly than pounds or touoh. It still
remained, however, t� (lbw the portion of
ICS interim' taken by the action of the
brain. Prof. Donders by very delicate
apparatus has demonstrated this to be about
sevellay-five-thousandths of it second. Of
the • whole interval forty-thoosandths are
odoupied in the simple act 'of recognition,
and thirty-five-thpusandths foi the act of
