. BRANDS OF CHEESE.


GorgonxOln Is IL Cheese to Swear by,
Limburger to Swear At.
Each country has its favorite cheese.
The Swiss make the Gruyere cheese,
known more generally in this country
as Schweitzerkase 1t is made Of goats
milk and is full of holes caused by the
gases in fermentation. The cheese is
initiated, but never equaled, here. The
typical English cheese Is the Cheddar,
first made in the English town after
which 1t is named. 1t is very like
American cream cheese. Chesire is an
other favorite English cheese, while the
fashionable cheese of the day is Stilton,
cheese which defes imitation. Sage
cheese, first made In England, is now
made the world over. Its distinguish
ing characteristic is the favoring and
coloring Of sage, parsley, spinach and
marigold leaves bruised and stepped.
Rrie is popular French soft cheese,
and Camembert, originating in Nor
mandy, is another. These cheeses are
cured in caves where the temperature
never rises above - to IA degrees.
They are ready for marketing in May
and November. Roquefort, celebrated
French cheese, is made from the min
gled milk of goats and sheep that
browse on the thyme clad banks of the
Arno, in western France. These cheeses
are also ripened in caves, but the tenn
perature is kept at 40 degrees.
Akin to the Roquefort cheese is that
called Gorgonzola, made in Italy after
similar processes. 1t is milder than
RoQuefort and not quite SO good, but it
Is sold much cheaper. Another Italian
cheese, the Parmesan, is very hard, and
is usually grated 1t is oftenest used
with macaroni. Another curious Italian
cheese is the Cacciocavello, or horse
cheese, which is delicious, and i'm
proves with age 1t is cured in the skins
used in making sausages and comes in
curious, sausagelike shapes.
Limburger cheese, SO beloved by the
Germans, originated in Belgium. 1t is
extraordinarily rich, being allowed to
ripen to putrefaction; hence its horrify-
ing odor in unaccustomed nostrils
Some persons have saying. "Gorgon.
zola is cheese to swear by, Limbur.
ger to swear at" From Holland come
the Ddam and the pineapple, both made

Criticism That Hurts ana rrets.

To bring about sane friendship be-
tween people who love each other, re-
spect for each others individuality is
of course necessary. We can VOW that
unless duty seriously and lovingly de-
mands it there should be no unasked
criticism between people who love each
other. Think how it would make for
peace if domestic criticism We're for
hidden Mt every breakfast table! Think
of our own happiness if our brothers
and sisters will stop telling us unpleas-
ant truths. Think of their happiness
if we could refrain from enlightening
them rs to their dress or manners or
beliefs.-Margaret Deland in Harper's
Bazaar

When dealing with black servants in

What's In a Namep

Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. G. De-
Witt Il Co, of Chicago, discovered,
some years ago, how to make a salve
from Witch Hazel that is specific for
Piles. For blind, bleeding, itching and
protruding Piles, eczema, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases, DeWitt's
Salve has no equal. This has given rise
to numerous worthless counterfeits.
Ask for DeWitt's-the genuine. Smith

Queer Beliefs They Held About the
Unexplored Ocean.
The landlocked Mediterranean, which
was the only sea known to the Romans
and Greeks of twenty odd centuries
ago, was filled with mysterious terrors,
while the more distant lands bordering
on it We're the abodes of wonders and
strange peoples. Gods of monstrous
shapes ruled the waters, enchanting
sirens dwelt on the islets and rocks, and
on the dry land beyond were to be
found weird enchantresses, fire breath
ing beasts, fierce pygmies and dreadful
cannibals. Adventurous voyagers who
got as far as the pillars of Hercules,
now called the strait of Gibraltar,
brought back intelligence that the great
oceau beyond was not navigable. 1t
was part of the mighty river which
flowed around the fiat earth in an un-
ending stream.

times at Gibraltar stone pillar 100 Gu
