CHEESES OF ALL COUNTRIES
Some Familiar Kinds That Have Be-
come Well Liked in the
United States.

Each country has its faVorite cheese.
The Swiss make the gruyere cheese. 1t
is made OF goats milk, and is full of
holes, caused by the gases in fermenta-
ton. The typical English cheese is the
eheddar. first made in the English town
after which II is named.
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 II TO IA degrees.
Roquefort, a celebrated French
cheese, is made from the mingled milk
Of goats and sheep that browse on the
thyme-clad banks Of the Arno. These
cheeses are also ripened in caves, but
the temperature 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 sold much cheaper. Another Italian
cheese, the parmesan, is very hard, and
Is usually grated.
.Limburger cheese. 50 beloved by The
Germans. originated in Belgium. It is
extraordinarily rich. being allowed to
hpen by putrefaction, hence fits hor-
rifying odor to unaecustomed nostrfls.

SOME BOUDOIR DON'Ts.
Simple Things for the Complexion
which Are worth knowing and
Putting In Practice.

Don't be afraid Of sunshine. Cura-
tive powers are in the chemical rays Of
the sun, and they rejuyenate.
Don't think Of the complexion only
and fear tan and freckles; they can be
removed. The sun is one of the most
efficient Of all surgical methods in the
treatment Of morbid growths as warts
moles and all parasitical skin diseases
Don't use bOrax and rose water to re-
move tan and freckles without putting
on a little cold cream afterWard, for
bOrax makes the skin dry.
Don't use cold water when giving the
face a cosmetic scrub. Warm water
followed by dash Of cold water, is bet
ter.
Don't despise the humble lemon.
With the juice of lemon and the beaten
white Of an egg, milady, brush in hand
may touch up her freckles in the seclu-
sion Of her boudoir and no one be the
wiser.
Don't forget that vinegar viii eradi-
cate yellow stains from the face. Battle
the bruise at once with vinegar and dis
coloration will be prevented.
Don't have a shiny nose and forehead
because it Is warm weather. Use a lit
tie cologne or spirits Of camphor in
the water when bathing the face.
Don't wash your face in cold water
the moment you reach a washstand II
you have been travelling. Remove traces
Of dust and smoke with cold cream, and
wipe on with a soft towel.
Don't expect to cure an eruption on
the face by an external application only.
A hot foot bath containing washing
soda viii often cure this trouble.
Don't use tincture Of benZoin on the
face unless the skin is dry. It is detri-
mental to an oily one. This is an in
stance, of a preparation excellent in
itself but not suited to every complex
ion.-Chicago Reeord-Herald.

BREECH-LOADERS ARE OLD.
BronEs Cannon of That Make Were
IN Use in Spain Some
Centuries Ago.

That there is very little new under
the sun has once more been proved at
Tobermory bay, Null, says a London
paper, where Capt. Burns, Of Glasgow,
has, with the permission Of the duke Of
Argyll, been searching for the relics Of
the Admiral Of Florence, one Of the YES
sells Of the Spanish Armada, known to
have been blown up in 1888 in that Tar
away water. With the aid of an old
chart the diver went down into u faith
oms and came across a bronze breech-
loading cannon four and one-haf feet
long, eight inches in diameter at the
,breech and bearing the date 1853. The
divers also discovered a pistol heavily
incrusted with lime, a sword blade and
4 kedge anchor.
Breech loading in artillery and small
arms Is popularity supposed to be an in
vention Of the middle Of last century
but such IS by no means the case. In
Dublin gunsmith's shop at Cork Hill Is
a breech-loading rife, which was Of
fered to the British war ONCE at the
close Of the eighteenth century and re-
jected, as It was considered to need too
much ammunition.

Sentimental jewelry f. in vogue Just
now, or perhaps IL would be more cor
rect to say that sentiment is finding
expression in the productions Of the
jewelers. and goldsmiths to a greater
degree at the present time than for
some seasons past. Witness the popu-
larity Of the heart-shaped bangle, and
pendant, the fancy for the miniature
adorned brooch, and various orna-
ments and trinkets introducing the
true love knot or some similar senti-
mental device. Now comes a new
claimant for consideration, and from
an English source, namely, the Dear

significance Of the sentimental desig-
nation is found in the gems that en-
0ellish the ornament, the initials Of
which spell the word dearest" The

emerald appearing twice. A brooch
on the same order is also to be had

Anything more sentimental in the Jew

to whom the dearest combination does

doubtless also in pendant and brooch

HEROIC SELF-SACRFICE.
OonsPteuOus Instance That Came Un-
der the Observation OF
Navy Omcer.

Speaking Of heroism, said a navy Of
heer at his club a few evenings ago, re-
ports the New York Tribune, 1T is rare
That such an example is seen as that
OF an old associate at the naval acad-
envy, HynsOn, who was a passed mid
shipman at Vera Cruz, in 1886. II was
really more than a bit Of heroism; II was
torutude, passive courage, that con-
fronted a peculiar danger, a self-sacri-
nee that was most conspicuous.
Our fleet was on the harbor on block
ade duty when one day a Spanish mer-
chant vessel managed to slip in without
being discovered. Hynson conceived the
idea Of capturing the vessel by a night at
tack, and he succeeded in doing so. But
as he could not take the vessel out Of the
harbOr, for the reason that she was I'M
der the close range Of the enemy's guns
and forts, Hyson set fire to the vessel.
In doing so he burned both his arms so
badly that he carried them in slings for
several days. While IN this disabled
condition a terrific squall came up and
played havoc with several Of our little
vessels, and the one on which Hynson
was serving was capsized. HynsOn and
one Of the other officers managed to get
hold on a floating spar, but as II was not
sufficient to keep them both afioat, Hyn-.
son let 90 his hold, and IN few moments
sank to his death"

THE LATEST WRINKLE.
EVerythinE n the way OF Gifts Has

Birth Month.

Many a girl Is busy nowadays deco
rating her room, her personal belong
Ings and herself with the flowers, gems
and coIors which have reference to her
birth month, and in making presents
to her friends she gives them also the
same significance
For the last few years there has
been an increasing attempt to make
gifts which recognize in some way the
recipients pet fads. AS this is an
athletic age, all sorts and kinds Of
things have been made having refer
enee to golf, tennis, bicycling, riding
and driving. Now the fad Is to utilize
the symbols of the birth month.
For herself the girl uses chiefly the
flowers for the month in which she
was born. These she cultivates, IL she
has a garden, and wears. She decorates
her room with them in draperies, bed
covers, upholstery for reed or willow
furniture and hangings for her win
doWA There are so many pretty
things In floral designs that every
purse finds something desirable within
reach. The girl even embrOiders her
handkerchiefs and lingerie with her
flower, though It must be said that she
does not put much work into the lat
ter unless Il is for a trousseau- In
this outdoor age she cares more for
sports than for needlework, and she
can buy her underwear for less than
she can make It
Here are the three chief emblems for
the several months-gems, flowers and
astral colors:
January-White onyx, snoWdrop,
brown, silver-gray and black.
February-Amethyst, primrose, pink,
blue and Nile green.
March-Bloodstone, violets, white
pink, emerald and black.
April-DiamOnd, daisy, white and
rose.
May-Emerald, hawthorn, red and
lemon yellow.
June-Pearl. honeysuckle. red, blue
and white.
July-Ruby. water lily, green and
russell brown.
August-Moonstone, poppy, red and
green.
September-Sapphire, morning glory.
gold and black with blue dots.
October-Opal, hops, black, crimson
and light blue.
observation-disclosures, chrysanthemum.
golden brown and black.
Observation-Disclosures, holly, gold
and brown.
There are gorgeous things in the
way Of birthday pillows ready made
or ready stamped at a low price tc
make up in birthday designs. These
have not only the appropriate colOrs,
flowers and jewels, but the signs OF
the zodiac for the month. The birth
month colOrs OF flowers are also put
into picture frames. handkerchief and
tie or veil cases, cushions and bureau
covers. The imitation jewels can be
bought to sew on. Birthday spoons
with the appropriate flowers can be
found, some with the gems set in, and
rings with both flowers and gems. Fol-
the children there are pencils and
pen holders set with imitation birth
stones.-Washingto Star.
