Booming Cheese.
From the New York Tribune.


The Department of Agriculture is max
ing a commendable effort to rehahlitate
cheese as q common article of diet. Sew
eral things have helped to give cheese
bad name. Latterly 1t has become Ia
miliar to Americans chiefly as a decora-
substance of which Welsh rabbits are
made. In these two forms 1t has incur
red wide unpopularity. for the lunch
counter man. as a rule, serves only the
the rabbit can be SO badly cooked as to
make the eater gladly take the anti
casein pledge the morning after. More
over. the degenerate imitation Swiss
cheese which floods the market has prac-
once delectable Schweitzer sandwich.
The Agricultural Departments experts
combat the idea that cheese Is indlgest-
;ble, and certify generously to It's I'd
mirabie qualities. The trouble In this
sufficiently how compact and SUSTAINING
a food 1t is, as Is evidenced by the fact
that cheese is SO often served as late
dinner course. II the dinner Is real
dinner the cheese Ia superhuous. II
would be just as sensible to serve slices
OF beefsteak before the coffee, for cheese
is twice as substantial food as lean
meat, bulk for bulk. A small cube OF
hard cheese or half a box of sort foreign
cheese is almost enough for meal in 1T
self, and workmen on the continent easily
sustain themselves on such q portion
eaten with rye bread. The indigestibility
with which cheese has been charged here
is undoubtedly due in large measure TO
its being treated as a light food instead
Of a heavy one, and eaten as part OF an
otherwise sufficient meal.
Made out OF good rich milk. and pos
sessing q palatable flavor. cheese Is an
excellent substitute for much more ex-
pensive eatables. and its use ought to be
encouraged From the point of view OF
nutriment. it is IAN almost perfect food. :.
Americans would appreciate 1t better II
hey initiated European customs and gave
It a more rational place in their regular
diet.

Letters Of q French Poetess.

An interesting literary discovery has
been made. an immense collection OF the
correspondence Of Marceline Desbordes.
Valmore. the greatest of the woman
poets of nineteenth century France. The
letters included In 1t were bought one
by one from the autograph dealers by
her son. Hippolyte Valmore. He ammo
tated them and meant to publish them,
but when he died. bachelor Of seventy
two about twenty years ago, there was
no mention OF his intentions in his will.
The albums then fell into the hands OF
his servant. who was ignorant of their
value. but did not like to destroy them.
Finding them too cumbersome to carry
about with her. she gave them away.
The recipient preserved them. though
without attaching any particular inpor-
lance TO them; and now at last they have
attracted tho attention of q collector and
are to be EDITED and published In the
course Of the autumn.
