CAMEMBERT CHEESE.

There is a large demand in all
cities for Camembert cheese, and as
it brings a high price, its manufac
ture is recommended, under certain
conditions, by the Department of Ag
riculture. At present, practically all
of this cheese is imported. A few
years ago Secretary Wilson inquired
into the question of its possible man
ufacture in this country, in further
ance of his policy of making every
thing possible at home, and he con
cluded that there was no reason why
we should not make at least all the
Camembert cheese that we consumed.

The Word Etiquette.

The very high sounding word of
etiquette had a very humble origin,
for etiquette meant simply a label.
1T received its present signification
from the fact that Scotch gardener
who laid out the grounds at Versailles
for Louis XIV. was much annoyed at
the courtiers walking over his newly
made paths and at length had labels
placed to indicate where they might
pass. At first these labels were not
attended to, but hint from high
quarters that in future the walks of
the courtiers must be within the "eti-
quette" or labels were promptly at.
tended to. To keep within the ETH
quette became the correct thing. The
meaning Of the phrase was afterward
widened.

EVEN Robbed sweetheart.

The finding of dress suit case
containing watches, silverware and
other articles of value, together with
bottle of Knockout drops known
to be the property of Emil Dunhart,
a prisoner at the county jail at Mt
Holly, serve as additional evidence
to keep him safe for long time.
Dunhart was recently arrested in
Philadelphia after he had robbed
Mrs. Rosenfeld and Ida Witcraft, of
Riverside, of two watches and guam
tity of money. He was also accused
of plotting the hold-up of R. Ear
brugg, the rich manufactures of that
place. In committing crimes while
he was employed at Riverside the
young man did not even spare his
sweetheart, Miss Witcraft. When
his character was revealed to her
and she became convinced that rob-
berry was the purpose of Dunharts
courtship she assisted the officers In
causing the arrest.

; A SUIT FOR
; SPURIOUS RELICS


A remarkable suit has just been
decided in a British court. A Greek
civil engineer while in CONSTANT.
nople became acquainted with Turk
who had in his possession a silver
casket, which, according to his story,
contained piece Of the cross on
which Christ was crucified, and one
of the nails that had been used in
the crucifixion. Being a Mohamme-
dan, he had no reverence for the
precious relics, and wanted to dis
pose of them to Christian pur-
chaser. He had some idea of the
value that they should have in Chris
tian eyes, and wanted a high price.
An English collector of curiosities
visited Constantinople while pur-
chaser was being sought, and the
Greek introduced the Turk to him.
The collector was doubtful about the
relics, for he knew that many spur
ious articles of the kind were in ex-
istence. But If they were genuine,
it would be easy to sell them at a
profit. Finally, after some negotia-
ton, he offered to take them to sub
nit to experts, and undertook, if they
proved genuine, to pay $3875 for
them. The antiquarians at the Brit
ish Museum declared them to be
spurious, and the collector therefore
refused to purchase them. There
upon he was sued for the money.
Being spurious, they were worthless,
but if they had proved genuine their
value would have consisted in their
association with an event so sacred,
that to make them matter of bar
gain and sale would have been shock
ing to the Christian mind. That
there are men capable of engaging in
such traffic need not, however, ocea-
sion surprise. There are some men
so set upon the making of money that
nothing is too sacred for them to
use in the pursuit. Most of the de-
faulters that are brought to justice
wore the cloak of piety to divert sus-
picion. 1t has always been SO. Even
in apostolic days man had the
audacity to propose a bargain for
the use of the Holy Spirit. Chris

SHEEP PROFITABLE.

Professor F. B. Mumfor6, of the
Missouri Station, in giving sum-
mary of the work done in feeding
sheep, showed that sheep produced
more meat from pound of grain
than any other farm animal. 1t was
shown that a pound of mutton can be
produced from about half as much
grain as a pound of beef. Even the
mortgage-lifting hog requires more
grain to produce a pound of human
food than the sheep. With the COM
bination of corn and clover hay for
food, and dry shed for shelter, sheep
will always give good account of
themselves and respond readily to the
care given them. Weekly Witness.
