Cow. Worse Than Bulls.

1t is said that the Spanish bullfghter
refuses to face COW, as being so much
more dangerous. A bull makes blind
rush at his assailant, and this little
knowledge and experience will soon en-
able an active man to avoid, but COW
fences with her horns with skill and
quickness unexpected In such an appar-
emily clumsy animal, and man must
be active indeed who can avoid the re
peated attacks of an angry COW.
The bull, in state of nature, fights
to obtain the mastery of the herd and
not to kill, but the COW only to protect
her offspring, and, in her case, there is
no quarter given. 1t would not be to the
advantage of the herd that the bulls
should kill each other in determining
which was the stronger, and therefore
they do not use their horns as lethal
weapons, but it is, on the other hand,
greatly to the advantage of the calves,
and so of the future of the herd, that
all enemies that dare to attack them
should be slain.

ONLY Jar of It's KIND.

an old porcelain vender who had an
exceedingly rare and valuable jar on
which he set an almost fabulous price.
One hot summer slight volcanic shock,
such as the British occasionally expe-
rience, logged his house about his ears
and split his porcelain vase To an or
binary mind the accident would have
been calamitous, but the china seller
rose superior to fortune. He doubled
the price of the article Immediately
and advertised it as "the only jar in

an earthquake" Nothing very slow
about that; whether he got his money
is not added, but certainly he deserved

The Les.ud o. noauefort CHEESE.

The Lec.:ud OF ROquefort Cheese.
Roquefort cheese. like many other
unique food productions, has it's legend
of accidental origin. A shepherd lad,
having for once more luncheon than he
could eat, while tending his flock of
sheep. laid a large portion of his bread
and cheese upon Il natural shelf i'll one
of the cayerns nearby. Boylike, he
forgot all about it until several months
later on returning to that cavern he
found his luncheon. The cheese, in
stead of being dried up or rotten, was
rich, moist and creamy and streaked
with greenish blue veins of mold, the
remains of the bread which had lain
on or under it. He probably told his
mother of his discovery and shared his
piece of cheese with others. The vii
layers were quick to recognize the i'm
proved texture and quality of the
cheese, and henceforth all their cheeses
were taken to these caves to ripen.
The caves are owned by joint stock
company, who employ about six hun
dred women to tend the cheese. Oak
shelves on which the cheeses are placed
and so arranged that each cheese may
have one side next the cold wall Of the
cave give over $4,000 square yards of
storing room.
