1t is said that the Spanish bull1ghter
refuses to face COW, as being so much
more dangerous. A bull makes blind
rush at his assailant, and this little
knowledge and experience will soon en-
able an active man to avoid, but COW
fences with her horns with skill and
quickness unexpected In such an appar-
emily clumsy animal, and man must
be active indeed who can avoid the re-
peated attacks of an angry COW.
The bull, in a state of nature, fights
to obtain the mastery of the herd and
not to kill, but the COW only to protect
her offspring, and, in her case, there Is
no quarter given. 1t would not be to the
advantage of the herd that the bulls
should kill each other in determining
which was the stronger, and therefore
they do not use their horns as lethal
weapons. but it Is, on the other hand,
greatly to the advantage of the calves,
and so of the future of the herd, that
all enemies that dare to attack them
should be slain.

The Legend of noquefort Cheese.


Roquefort cheese, like many other
unique food productions, has its legend
of accidental origin. A shepherd lad,
having for once more luncheon than he
could eat, while tending his flock Of
sheep, laid large portion of his bread
and cheese upon natural shelf In one
of the caverns nearby. Boylike, he
forgot all about 1t until several months
later ON returning to that cavern he
found his luncheon. The cheese, In
stead of being dried up or rotten, was
rich, moist and creamy and streaked
with greenish blue veins of mold, the
remains of the bread which had lain
on or under 1t. He probably told his
mother Of his discovery and shared his
piece of cheese with others. The VII
layers were quick to recognize the i'm
proved texture and quality of the
cheese and henceforth all their cheeses
were taken to these caves to ripen.
The caves are owned by Joint stock
company. who employ about six hun
dred women to tend the cheese. Oak
shelves on which the cheeses are placed
and so arranged that each cheese may
have one side next the cold wall of the
cave give over $4,000 square yards Of
storing room.

Climatic Cures.

The influence OF climatic conditions
In the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food d.
gestion, and regular use OF German
Syrup. Free expectoration in the
morning is made certain by German
Syrup, so is good nights rest and the
absence of that weakening cough and
debilitating night sweat. Restless
nights and the exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger and
dread of the consumptive, can be pre-
vented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to warmer cline,
you will find that OF the thousands OF
consumptives there, the few who are
benefited and regain strength are those
who use German Syrup. Trial bottles,
