SOMETHING REHND IN.
The Evolution OF the FIah Hook II
Indicative OF the Progress OF
Civilization.

Men have doubtless been fishers
from very remote times; hunger
would teach them to catch fish as well
as to hunt mammals, but while the
evidences of the latter are so abund-
ant in the shape of stone weapons, the
weapons or implements used for catch
ing fish, being made of less durable
material, have disappeared. The eX-
ceptions to this general statement are
the few instances where fishhoOks
made entirely of stone, or of COM
bination of stone and wood, or bone,
have been preserved with the other
implements of similar material.
Fishhooks of silicious material have
not been found in America, but hooks
composed of flint or chalcedony and
bone have been found in Greenland
The invention of rude implements to
facilitate the catching of fish would
not require the exercise of an great
ingenuity or mechanical skill rom
watching the fish snap at or low
objects thrown in the water IL idea
of tying some tempting bait on the
end of a string and throwing it into
the water to be seized and swallowed
by the fish, which could then be pulled
out by means of the string, would be
y
lest known attachment for making the
capture of the fish more certain, that
of attaching a silver of wood to the
end of the string or line in such a
way that any attempt at escape on the
part of the fish would make its capture
more certain, was very easy.
Afterward pieces of bone or wood,
sharpened at each end, and sometimes
grooYed in the middle to keep the
string from slipping. were evolved.
Implements OF this character are
still used by the fskimos for catching
sea gulls and other water fowls A
cord made Of braided grass, fifteen
or eighteen inches long, is looped
around the groove in the bone, and
fastened to a trawl line, kept extended
by anchored buoys. The bone being
baited with small fish, into which the
implement is inserted lengthwise, the
trawl lines are placed near the breed
ing places of the birds. and would be
easily effective in the capture of GER
tain kinds of fish.
AS man gained experience and adj
vanced in knowledge other forms of
implements would be evolved better
suited for the purpose, but, with the
exception of better material being

of the civilized nations of today are
but little in advance of those used by
savage races ard prehistoric peoples.
Prehistoric f:skhooks of bronze and
others made from the tuslls Of the wild
boar are found iisthe Swiss lakes An
other form of bronze fishhoo<. found
in Lake of Mor2t, is almost identical
in form with those used today.
Clipped flint f;sl.hoolzs are found in
Sweden. Among the aborigines of
Wisconsin native copper was used in
the manufacture of various weapons
and implements. and fishhooks of
beaten copper have been found in some
of the mounds in that region.-The

The Mysteries of Roquerort Cheese.

Roquefort cheese, the delight Of
modern epicures, is made of a mixture
of goat and sheep milk. The reputa-
ton of this cheese extends back into
dim antiquity, and Pliny mentioned it
in his writings.
1t is made chiefly from the milk Of
Larzad goats and sheep, and in the
records in France it is stated that in
the year 1866, 100000 sheep and goats,
out of flock of 100000, gave enough
milk for the making of 7,15O,OOO
pounds of cheese.
In the manufacture of Roquefort
cheese, the sheep and goats are MIXED
in the evening, after their return from
the pastures, and after they have been
allowed to rest for an hour or so.
The evenings milk is heated almost
to boiling point, and then is set aside.
In the morning it is skinned, heated
to 90 degrees, and mixed with the
mornings milk for coaguiatfon The
curd is well kneaded with the hands,
and pressed in layers into moulds with
perforated bottoms. \ thin layer of
mouldy bread is put between each
layer of curd.
The object of this is to hasten the
FFripening' of the cheese by supplying
the germs of the green mould peculiar
to cheese. The bread used for this
purpose is made. before the preceding
Christmas, of about equal parts of
summer and winter barley, with plen-
ty of sour dough. and some vinegar.
When mouldy enough, it is ground
and sifted, moistened with water, and
kept from the air until used in max
ing the cheese.
The curd remains in the moulds for
three or four days. Then they are
taken to the market in Roquefort,
where they are sold to the different
makers of Roquefort cheese.
These manufacturers continue the
ripening of the c, e Sc by placing them
in the very damp caves which abound
in the precipitous walls of the lime
stone hills, which almost completely
surround the village.
The cheeses are left in the cave
sometimes more than month, during
which time salt ard brine are rubbed
into them. and they are pricked fire.
quently with long needles, to let the
salt penetrate into them. and also to
accelerate the process of Wondering.
