The roots of a tree do not cover the
same area beneath the earth as they do
above. A gardener Of many years ex-
perience, having had vast deal to do
in digging and transplanting trees,
says he has found that the roots Of
trees cover on an average about two
thirds of the area of it's branches. The
tree which has the largest area under
ground is the weeping willow. This
trees roots spread to such an extent
that should there be any trees or shrubs
planted within thirty feet of them in a
few years the roots Of the willow will
be found intermingled with them. Fruit
trees, such as apples, pears and plums,
have very small roots in comparison
with their size. The roots of currant
bushes do not occupy more than quar-
ter the space their branches cover.

BRANDS OF CHEESE.
GOrgOnzOla Is :. Cheese TO Swear by,
Limburger to Swear At.


Each country has it's 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 it is named. 1t is very like
American cream cheese. Chesire is an
other favorite English cheese, while the
fashionable cheese Of the dayis Stilton,
a cheese which defies imitation. Sage
cheese, first made in England, is now
made the world over. It's distinguish
ing characteristic is the favoring and
coloring of sage parsley, spinach and

Brie is a popular French soft cheese,
and Camembert, originating in Nor
mandy, is another These >cheeses are
cured in caves where the temperature
never rises above y to IA degrees.
They are X Ady for marketing in May
and November Roquefort, a 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 it's horrify
ing odor in unaccustomed nostrils.
Some persons have a saying, "Gorgon-
Zola is a cheese to swear by, Limbur-

/, Alligators move rapidly under water

harpoon will penetrate only the least
accessible portions of the body. Nor
does the title to the hide necessarily
pass with making fast the weapon.
One afternoon in the CheesehowitZ-

Which towed me up and down the
stream for an hour or two and then
sulked in its deepest part. [ pulled on
the line until the boat was directly
over him and stirred him up with the
narpOon pole. He rolled himself up on
the line in the manner peculiar to
sharks and alligators and banged the
boat suggestively. We rowed to the
bank and, making fast to some bushes,
hauled on the line until we succeeded
in worrying him nearly to the boat,
when he rose to the surface and at
tackled us with open mouth. We re-
PEELED the attack with harpoon pole
and rifle. The former was promptly
bitten in three pieces, but the latter ap-

the skiff a mile down the river to where
our slOop was anchored. We broke the
seats out of the boat and together man
aged to lift the head of the alligator
aboard and tie it. We then tied the
other end, when the reptile came to
life and landed a blow with his tail
which lifted me out of the skiff into
the saw grass, with the breath knocked
out of my body and my hand and face
badly cut by the grass.
Boat and boatmen were capSiZed. AS
my rifle had fortunately been left upon
the bank, was able to kill the alliga-
tor again. We secured him by floating
the boat under him and then bailing it

boat, so that my companion and | sat

They Were Mere Paper, but They
Subdued tho Artist Turner.
Turner, the great landscape painter,
was curious mixture of parsimony
and generosity, determined money
grubbing and unreckOning devotion to
his art. He would drive a hard bar
gain one day and the next refuse to
sell at any price. Intending purchas-
crs were sometimes excluded from his
gallery, and the refusal of admission
was communicated in anything but a
polite manner
Mr.. elliott, the wealthy pen manu-
facturer of Birmingham, once proved
himself equal to the task of storming
the castle i'll the teeth of the gruff art
list and his dOOrkeeper and achieving a
bargain. A book on Turner gives the
story.
Mr.. elliott was met at the door of
Turner's house by an old woman, who
opened the door and asked the gentle
mans business.
Cant let e in"' she snapped out,
when he told her, and tried to slam the
door.
But MI elliott had put his foot in
side the door and without waiting for
permission pushed past the enraged
janitress and hurried upstairs to the
gallery. Turner met him like q spider
whose web has been invaded The in
truder introduced himself and said
that he had come to buy.
Don't want to SELF was the an
SWer.
Have you seen our Birmingham pic

or, as calmly as if he had been received
as Il gentleman should be.

An Irish tor.

An Irishwoman was looking at refrig
orators in house furnishing store some
weeks ago. After examining into the
merits and qualities of number OF
them she purchased the one that the
salesman assured her would keep food
the best. Some days afterward the
woman called and requested them tc
take that refrigerator back, as it would
not keep anything better than the
kitchen safe of the cellar. The sales
man mildly suggested that possibly she
had not put enough ice in it to keep the
things cold. Enough ice in it? Why,
are you crazy, mon? 1 don't put any
ice in it, Anything will keep cold il
you put ice in it. I bought the refrig-
orator so that wouldn't need the ice.''
