BRANDS OF CHEESE

GcrsonzoIa Is q Cheese to Swear By,
Lfmb1rger to Swenc At.
Each country has its favorite cheese.
The Swiss make the Gruyere cheese,
known more generally in this country
as Schwettzerkase 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. It is very like
American cream cheese. Cheslre is an
other favorite English cheese, while the
fashionable cheese Of the day is Stlton,
a cheese which dehes imitation. Sage
cheese, first made in England, is now
made the world over. It's distinguish
ing characteristic is the fayoring and
coloring Of sage, parsley, spinach and
marigold leaves bruised and stepped.
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 u 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. It 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, sausageike 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 Edam and the pineapple, both made
in cleanly manner and very popular.
1t is written in history that the Dutch
used their round, cannon ball like
Edam chesses to shoot out Of their can
non when the Swedes were besieging

Sand Dunes In Gascony.

One Of the most interesting and re-
markable Of the many regions for the
observation Of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne, in Gascony.
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along line Of 100 miles In
length, some 100000 cubic yards of
sand.
The prevailing westerly winds con-
tinue picking up the surface particles
from the westward slope, whirl them
over to the inward slope, where they
are again deposited, and the entire
ridge by this means alone moves grad
ually inward. In the course Of years
there has thus been formed complex
system Of dunes, all approximately par
allel with the coast and with one an
other and of all attitudes up to 2oO feet.
These are marching steadily inward
at a rate of from three to six feet a
year, whole villages having sometimes
been torn down to prevent burial and
rebuilt at distance.

The Roots of Trees,

The roots of a tree do not cover the
same area beneath the earth as they do
above a gardener Of many years e2-
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 its 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.

onlyThose Put Into Practice Amount
to Anything.
The paving CT the road to very un-
comfortable place is said to be COM
posed Of good intentions. Nowhere else
has this material been tried for paving,
though it is plentiful enough for almost
any purpose. We all know people
whose houses burn when they are
"just going to" insure, who lose COW
or horse when they are Gust going
to- mend the fence or close the gate,
who are 'just going to- buy stock
when it goes up like rocket, who are
"just going to- pay note when it goes
to protest, who are 'just going to- help
neighbor when he dies, who are ''just
going to- send some flowers to sick
friend when it proves too late. In fact,
they are ''just going to- do things all
their lives, but neve- get them started.
''To be always intending to live a
new life, but never to find time to set
about it," says Tillotson, lis as if q

Under every clock in a factory at
Cleveland, O., is the motto, DO it
noww Such a motto, lived up to by
every one, would spare the world much
trouble It would add thousands Of
good deeds to daily happenings, save
many firms from bankruptcy through
bad debts, paint hundreds Of pictures
only dreamed Of, write books without
number and straighten out half the
tangles Of our complicated social life.
The habit Of putting off disagreeable
duties is responsible for much needless
unhappiness, for these bugbears weigh
on the mind and prevent the satisfied
content that comes from duty well per-
formed Most tasks promptly under
taken prove less difficult than we antic
ipated, and the JOY Of accomplishment
often compensates for any hardship ex-
perienced.
Don't get to be known for unfulflled
good Intentions Good intentions car
ried out become the good deeds that
make men useful, loved and famous.
Doing things rather than just planning
them makes all the difference between
success and failure.-Success.

A Hard Hearted People.

Filial piety finds no place in Tibet
an character. 1t is no uncommon
thing for son to turn his father, when
too old for work, out of doors and to
leave him to perish in the cold. The
superstition that the souls Of the dead
can, if they will, haunt the living
drives their hardened natures to gain
by the exercise Of cruelty the promise
of the dying that they will not return
to earth.
AS death approaches the dying per-
son is asked, "Will you come back or
will you not?" If he replies that he
will, they pull a leather bag over his
head and smother him; if he says he
will not, he is allowed 70 die in peace.

Natures Monument to Washington.
Among the many monuments to
Washington is the one which every Wis
itor to the Cape Verde islands will re-
member as one Of the most colossal and
marvellous freaks Of natural sculpture
in existence. Along the farther side OF
the harbor Of San Vicente, the principal
town, rises q bold ridge Of dark gray
volcanic rocks, the crest Of which forms
an exact likeness Of our immortal
George, seemingly lying face upward,
as if in a peaceful sleep.
The hero's large, bold features, the
backward wave Of the hair, his mass
i've shoulders and even the frill Of the
shirt front are all reproduced on q g.
cantic scale with wonderful exactness.
The strange monument, sharply out
lined against the deep blue Of the rop-
ical sky, is one Of the first objects that
meet ones eye in approaching the IS
land. It's gigantic proportions, with
the boundless ocean for background,
form q portrait wonderfully true to ma
ture and overpowering in its magnlt-

saan4isn1 Tree Snakes.

Among the most attractive Of the
many kinds Of serpents are the delicate
and beautiful tree snakes (dendrophis),
which very rarely descend to the
ground, as they find food enough among
the birds and those frogs and lizards
which also dwell in trees. The grace
full form Of the body, the elegance and
rapidity Of their movements and the
exquisite beauty Of their colors have
excited the lively admiration Of those
who have had the good fortune to
watch them in their native haunts. The
larger kinds attain to a length OF over
FIVE feet. They are frequently adorned
with the brightest colors, green being,
however, generally the prevailing tint
They are active by day.

shat Ney to Death.
A sabcr Of honor brought Marshal
Ney to dishonor and death. When Ma
poleon entered Cairo on the 22d Of July,
II93, he was presented with three
swords of honor richly inlaid with pre-
cious stones. He brought them back
to Europe, and in 1902 he gave one to
Ney and another to Murat, keeping the
third for himself. Ney received his at
an imperial reception. The sword
passed from one to another Of those
present, among whom was young
subaitern cf the Auvergne regiment.
When Napoleon escaped from Elbe,
Ney left the king and took sides with
his former chief. After the allies en-
tered Paris, Ney made preparations to
get out Of the country, but his wife and
a friend persuaded him that there was
really no danger, and he decided to re-
main in France. Then came the order
for his arrest. He fed to castle in
ceeded in reaching it without his pres
ence being known. One day, feeling
tired, he threw himself on a couch, first
taking of his oriental sword, which he
always wore out Of affection for the
emperor. Hearing voices, he sptang
up and hurriedly left the room, forget
ting his sword A minute later par
ty of women and men entered the room,
one Of them being the young subaltern
Of the Auvergne regiment, now colo
nel He at once recognized the sword
and, calling in some gendarmes, pro
ceeded to search the premises. Finding
that he was discovered, Ney gave him
self up quietly. On Dec. Z, 1915, the
marshal, whose sobriQuet was the
Bravest of the Brave, the hero of
hundred battles, was shot Scarcely
two months after the owner of the sec
ond sword, Murat. had met his fate in
the same way.

An a1,,terative Poem ON Pigs.

One Of the book collectors Of Phila.
delphia has in his library volume OF
Latin jokes that was printed in Ger,
many in 1703. says the Philadelphia
Record. The name Of this volume is
"Nuga Venales," and it contains q
poem 800 lines long wherein every
word-every single word-begins with
the letter '.p."
Even the title page Of the poem con-
tains only ''p's." It reads:
'Pugna Porcorum, per Publtum Por'
cium, Poetam'' (''The Battle Of the
Pigs" by Publius Poreius, poeD.
Here are two lines Of the poem that
show how strange ALTERATION, so hcaY-
lily laid on, appears:

Potando poteris placi6ar proferre ;poesim.
