people should know and value bet.
ter cheese as food" said a physician
the other day In discussing the diet
question ut is true that freshly made
domestic cheese is hard to digest, but
nothing is SO easily digested as any
OF the imported cheeses and nothing
is more nutritious. Weight for weight
Roquefort, Brie, Caniembert and Swiss
chccses are more nutritious than the
best beef or steak They are more
easily digested, and they give the same
sort OF nourishment that Is derived
from fresh meat so that In the time Of
n meat famine the well cured and well
aged imported cheeses are the best sub
stitute that can be found for beef, and.
ns consumed, the best of cheese Is
cheaper. A twenty-five cent Brie
cheese, for instance, will feed more
persons and nourish them better than
dollars worth of beef. Two ounces Of
these cheeses have the same food value
as n pound of the best prime beef"

MAN-o'-WAR HAWKS.
Eenthercd Hiebwnymen That DO
Their Fishing In the Air.


The man-o'-war hawk is a somewhat
large bird and an expert fisher, but he
does most of his fishing In the air.
When the BOBBY bird comes home from
abroad, he finds the man-o-war hawk
"layin' for him." and, however persist
emily he may seek to escape by dashing
flight, with much screcchlng and
screaming, he finds that before he can
safely set foot on the land he must dis
gorge fish or two, which the swift
pursuer adroitly catches In the air. 1t
seems, however, to be generally un-
derstood as modus vivendi between
the fisher and the pirate birds that
their contentious were only on the
wing and that once on land they
should dwell peacefully In their sepa-
rate camping grounds.
The boobies are awkward and un-
wieldy on land and may be easily cap
tured. They rarely seek TO escape when
n man approaches; but, accustomed to
meet the demands of their familiar en-
emy. the man-o'-war hawk, 10y dlsgorg-
ing fish In the air, they frequently re-
sort TO the same process and lay at the
feet of the intruding stranger what
stock of fish they have available. The
man-o'-war hawks turned this practice
TO their own advantage by following
after any man who might appear
among the nesting birds circling In the
air Just overhead. ready to pick up the
fish which the frightened boobies
might give up as a peace offering. The
man-o' war hawks were generally ca
ger for anything and would hover
closely, ready to take from the hand of
n man whatever he might toss In the
air. On one occasion one of these birds
swiftly snatched n notebook which lay
for moment on the ground and sailed
away, dropping 1t, however, on finding
It TO be neither fish nor rat.-Century
Magazine.

The penguin's Bump of Locniity.

On shore the penguin Is an awkward
creature. Water is its element. When
hunted on the ice foes, the birds gen
orally try TO run away in an upright
position, but just as the hunter thinks
he has got one the bird lies down on its
white belly and paddles along over the
snow very quickly, the hard, smooth
quilts slipping over the snow crystals
almost without friction. A remarkable
characteristic of the penguin IL his
bump of locality. Both on shore and
in the water he never loses his way.
To human eyes one Ice foe is precisely
like another, but under that roof of
similar Ice foes have seen penguin
of the larger species find its mate on
foe after diving and swimming for n
full mile under water.-Leslie's.
