ROQUEFORT CHEESE.
Tho Discovery Made by Poor French
Peasant Boy.

The Discovery Made by . Poor French
Peasant Boy.
A shepherd boy with a poor appe-
Roquefort cheese True as gospel:
They swear by that story today in
RoQuefort. France. and IL they only
knew the lads name they'd raise a
monument to him. He was out tend
ing sheep. and. the SUI shifting down
hard. he went into a cavern to eat his
cheese and rye bread. He failed to get
away with all of it and threw q hunk
of the cheese off to one side. 1t hap
pened to drop on a natural shelf. and
few months later the boy found
the cheese still there. He saw that It
had undergone constitutional change.
TOR instead of being dry and hard it
was moist and creamy. Besides. there
were veins Of greenish mold running
through it. The boy took a nip. and
the taste was so pleasing he carried a
crumb home to his mother. She must
have been q woman of intelligence.
for no sooner had she tasted than she
took one Of the largest rolls of cheese
from her dairy. had her son guide her
to the cavern and placed it on the
shelf. In due time the same change
was wrought. and Roquefort cheese
had arrived as an article OF COM
merce. All the natural caverns around
the quaint old town now are used for
ripening cheese. and the women work
in them with small oil lamps strapped
around their chestS.-New York Press.

THE ANIMAL MIND.
A Story About 4 Cow and the Calf
She Licked,

A Story About = Cow and the Calf
She Licked.
An absurd story is cited about a
COW, showing what creatures of habit
animals are. This particular COW
would not stand to be MIXED unless
she could lick her calf at the same
time. For long time she always had
q calf Of some age or other to lick.
but at last by Ill fortune one Of her
calves died.
There is no reason why a bereaved
milking time, but there was the fixed
habit of making certain motions. The
farmer. however. was a practical
psychologist. He stuffed the skin Of
the calf with hay and let the COW
have that to lick. To be sure. the hay
calf had neither head nor legs, but a
COW has no general ideas concerning
the nature Of calves nor any special
reason for assuming that calves should
have heads and legs. 1t felt right. and
it smelled right. 1t enabled her to go
through the customary motions at
milking time Therefore 1t was suf-
Gent.
BY dint of caressing and licking her
little calf the tender parent one fine
morning unripped it. The hay issued
from within, and the COW. manifest
ing not the slightest surprise or agita-
ton. proceeded TRANQUILITY to devour
the unexpected provender. - E T.

the same old program in the afternoon

they watch US. We have good health,

THE B0R0B0ED0ER.
A Hindoo Temple Built In Java In the
Eiahth Century.

Eighth Century.
The Boroboedoer unearthed by Sir
Stamford Raffies when the English
ruled in Java was built by the Hin
docs in the eighth century and is by
far the finest example of their work
in the island. Standing on a hill In
the middle Of the valley. this lmpos-
ing editice. covering nearly ten acres.
rises to q height of upward OF a hum
dred feet above the summit Of the hill.
1t consists Of a series OF stone ter
races built on top OF each other In d.
minishinG magnitude so as to leave
circumscribing galleries and crowned
by a vast cupola. Entrance to the gal
leries is gained by four stairways-
north. south. east and west-which
run from the ground straight up to
the big top terraces, in the middle OF
which stands the browning cupola.
surrounded by numerous smaller lat
ticework cupolas, from which one may
step aside into any Of the intermediate
galleries.
The whole is built Of stone, showing
an immense amount of carving, and.
though there is no genuine inside to
the temple. many OF the galleries are
covered in, innumerable images OF
Buddha occupying inches or promi-
nent positions on the walls. and the
sides OF the galleries were paved with
bas-reliefs. indicating the giorifIcation
of this god aud other incidents in his
history. When one considers that
there are several miles OF bas-reliefs
alone the work expended on the pyra
mids of Egypt pales into insisnifi
canoe before this stupendous under
taking.-Shanshai Mercury.

A NATURAL WONDER.
The DEVILS Race Course In the Blu
RIDGE Mountains,

The Devils Race Course In the Blue
Ridge Mountains.
1.-The Blue Ridge mountains abound
in natural wonders" observed an old
resident Of Penmar. Most wonderful
of them all. in my opinion, is the Dew
lis Race Course, which is but short
walk from Penmar.
AT first view this strange natural
phenomenon appears like broad
roadway of great stones which ex-
tends away up the mountain In path
no human hand could ever build.
Many Of these great stones weigh
tons. while others are only few hun:
dredweight. Lying close together by
the thousand, they present an extraor-
binary spectacle.
Tradition has 1t and scientists agree
that a thousand or more years ago
this strange track was the bed of an
ancient river. The conclusion Is drawn
from the looks Of the stones. They
are all we'll rounded and worn smooth,
showing the action. Of water. which
doubt for centuries.
but the mystery IL IL tHAS tneoIy Oe
true to explain how the great body of
water was confined at the sides, for
the course is not hemmed in by high
banks. nor Is 1t located In ravine.
In fact. it stands somewhat higher
than the natural side of the mountain.
The puzzle only intensifies interest in
the queer place and multiplies the ar-
Dumonts and theories Of IFS nrehiSforic
origin."- American.

Hauck as Cherubino.
AT 8 O'Clock that afternoon" writes
Mr.. Upton. ''Hauck went into the the
alter and pre-empted the prima donna's
room by depositing her things there
in. An hour later Roze's maid reached
the theater and proceeded TO the same
room. only to find 1t filled with the
hated rivals traps. Roze notified the
colonel Henry Mapleson. He was
promptly on the scene and began NOV
ing Hauck's belongings to the opposite
room and instructing his wife to be at
the theater precisely at 6.
AT half past 5. however. Hauck
sent the chevalier cher husband to
the theater to see that everything was
right. The chevalier found that every
thing was not right and ordered Roze 8
belongings to be removed, replaced his
wife's and had everything. including
the door. stoutly locked.
AT Roze arrived. prepared to
hold the fort but as she couldn't get
into the fort to hold it she sent for the
colonel. who sent for locksmith. who
opened the door. Hauck's things were
unceremoniously bundled out. At half
past Hauck came to the room to
dress, and. much to her surprise and
to the chevaliers chagrin. Roze was
in there calmly dressing. What pass

that she would not sing that evening.

A BLOW TO WATERWAY PLANS

Passed From State.

Springfield, Il.-The famous ase
of the State of Illinois against the
Economy Light and Power Co., around
which hinged legislation in regard to
a deep waterway at the lest session
of the general assembly, was decided
by the supreme court Tuesday morn
ing, the state losing every main con
tention it made.
Some years ago the Illinois and.
Michigan canal commissioner executed
a contract with the Economy Light
and Power company by the terGs of
which the company was to construct
a dam in the bed of the Desplaines
river for the purpose of furnishing
power. Gov. Deneen sought to have
this contract invalidated, his main
contention being that the river was
navigable and that, therefore, the con-
tract had no binding effect. The case
has been stubbornly contested.
