Digestibility of Cheesc.

Digestibility Of cheese has been care
fully tested by ii German chemist. who
placed tho samples in an artificial di-
gestive fiuid containing considerable
proportion of fresh gastric Juice Chesh-
ire and Roquefort cheese took four
hours to digest, Gorgonzola eight hours.
Romadour nine hours and Brie. Swiss
and ten other varieties ten hours. AS
an ordinary meal is digested in four or
five hours. the common belief that
cheese aids digestion appears to be err
roneous.

Italians and Music.

The Italians cannot give the artists
large SUMS of money. for they haven t
the money to give. but they can give
discriminating appreciation. With them

A Little Behind the Times.

LIE Petit Journal of Paris imparts
this curious misinformation to its read
ers:
1.-The press gang, in vogue in
France under Louis XIV and suppressed
by Colbert. still fiourishes in England
to this day. The press gang is the
means used for recruiting the royal
navy. is an organized aervice and is
officially recognized. The system con-
sists in carrying off by force men capa-
BILE Of making sailors. Strategy and
violence are all it costs In times Of
war the sailors specially charged with
this service patrol the streets of Lon
don. enter the taverns and take posses
sion Of men they consider sufficiently
strong. If the latter resist. cudgels are
freely used. and finally knives are req
uisitioned in case of necessity. The
prisoners are then carried aboard ship
By this means the recruiting Of the
British navy is assured.
