1t is supposed that hundreds oe Jsa15
ago the south OF Franco was disturbed
by volcanic eruptions. which split MP
the ancient granite rocks. causing
streams of lava to flow from them, says
the Mercury. The new surface con-
sisted of basaltic rocks, which In turn
were fissured by eruptions and thrown
up onto mountain range. The whoio
of the interior of mountain was thus
formed into caverns and caves, which
belch forth hot, sulphurous springs IL
is here that the celebrated Roquefort
cheeses are made. The village Of Roque-
fort is situated on the mountain Lar
zac, which is about twenty-five miles
in length and nearly 5000 feet high. 1t
consists chiefly of limestone, covered
with sufficient pasture to feed the 3oo,-
900 sheep kept for their milk. The
caves, being formed by the displace-
ment of rocks, consist Of an intricate
labyrinth of open spaces and passages
connected with each other and with
a subterranean outlet. A cool current
OF air, therefore. always Of the same de-
gree of humidity and temperature.
flows in a never-interrupted stream
through the caves. There is nothing In
the milk or in the preparation of the
cheeses that gives them that peculiar
flavor and delicious mellowness for
which they are so renowned. This Is
entirely effected by the method by
which they are cured. When the cheoses
are ready for treatment they are taken
to the caves and after being allowed
to cool are carried to the sailing room.
They are rubbed with salt on one face
and then piled on top Of each other an
til the cave is full. After standing for
twenty-four hours or so the reverse
side Is salted and once more they are
piled up as before. The cheeses have
to be frequently reversed In order that
the moisture may be even throughout
and to develop the fungus which has
previously been sown in the curd. In
forty-eight hours the cheeses become
viscous and are rubbed with a coarse
cloth. In the course of another two
days the fungus will appear on the out
side in the form OF sticky paste This
is carefully scraped OF with knives. to-
gether with thin stratum Of crust, and
set aside for food.
The cheeses are now sorted out, the
most solid ones being placed on the
floor. In eight days time they become
covered with a yellowish-red mold, to-
gether with other minute vegetation.
which is removed and given to the pigs.
The scraping is continued until the
character of the mold changes, show
Ing that the curd has altered Its condi-
ton and announcing the completion of
the curd. Then they are again care
fully scraped and wiped and wrapped
In tinfoil and are ready for the market.
RoQuefort cheeses have been cured
for centuries by this process and stand

In herdic the other day a manly

As the train sped along over the

the smoker and take a hand in a game
Of euchre. I found two other chaps be-
longing TO the "profesh" and we had
the car to ourselves. After few mo-

a small station. He was native but
he didn't seem to be over bright and
not at all dangerous. He watched the
cards with much interest for two or
three games and one OF the men finally
observed:

FiFTY.CENT DOLLAR.

II lucky miner in Colorado should
strike a pocket of gold sufficiently
large enough to double to quantity of
money in circulation, what would be
the effectP Would the gold in a ten
dollar piece be worth only five dollars2
Would the dollars in reality be only
fifty-cent dollars2 Would they b.
honest dollars?
By the law Of trade, they would buy
twice as much. To double the supply
of money would cut down the price of
property oue-half In the language of
the Chicago papers, "The creditor
would be robbed" for where he ex-
pected one dollar would buy two
bushels it would buy only one.
Where he expected to hire man for a
whole day he could only get him for
the forenoon. Therefore would the
dollar be ffty-cent dollar? - Ia
To double the cash would start
prices upwards. Prices would be bet
ter and. property become salable when
money was plentiful. q Civilization
would start forward again and the men
who had been cornering money would
be compelled to invest it in property
in order to protect themselves from
losses. Would the dollar, therefore be
fifty-cent dollar?
Though it would buy only fifty cents
worth of property as compared with
present prices, it would still go by the
name of dollar Although the bullion
in dollar would buy only half OF
what it would buy before still the gov
ernment would go on coming the gold
though four times as many dollars as
now were placed in circulation. .I
Our own answer to this inquiry
would be the same as though we were
talking about silver. Although dol
lar would buy but half us much in pro-
perty it is dollar just the same II
it were not so we should not advocate
the free coinage of silver. To increaIe
the number of dollars in gold has the
same effect as to increase the number
of dollars in silver No more and no
less.
To increase the number of dollars by
free coinage of silver, will make the
dollars of less value aud the creditor.
unless his marketable property and the
profits thereon exceeds his credits,
will be the loser But every dollar will
be a dollar, a hnndred-eent dollar and
the bullion in the dollar will be worth
dollar in the market, as long as it is
worthit at the mint. i'
Whenever you are puzzled by the
fifty-cent dollar feature Of the currency
discussions read this article over again
and, you will soon understand that to
increase the number of dollars in cir
culation does not make the dollar dis
honest, and you will also find that a
general increase in the number Of dol
lars to certain point is the very best
investment government can make to
secure contentment, happiness aud
prosperity for its subjects.
