CHEESE DENOTES THEIR RANK
Swiss Family Found Without Aged
Variety Of peIicaey Is
Scorned.

Lucerne.-The English. the Ger
mans, and the Norwegians are great
consumers of cheese, but the people
of Switzerland surpass them all. The
cheese OF Zermatt is SO hard that one
is obliged to scrape 1t or cut OF chunks
with hatchet. and its use is con-
eidered most important on all cere-
monious occasions. The rank OF a
Swiss family is known by the age OF
its cheese. and the more affection or
respect a guest inspires the harder is
the cheese which is cut in his honor.
1t is said that there are families in
Switzerland whose cheeses date from
the first French revolution. and these
are served only at baptisms, weddings
and after funerals.
The larder in every FAMILY Is guard
ed with care and the cheese Is named.
Upon the birth of new heir cheese
is made that takes the name given
him or her, and that particular cheese
is never under any circumstances cut
until the boy or girl grows up and is
married. On such occasions each OF
the guests takes q piece of cheese
from the bridegroom and from the
bride and drinks to their felicity. the
cheese held aloft.-Harper's Weekly.

George wehler. director of physical
education at the University OF Wiscon-
sin. has instituted rest classes for
fidgety girls whose nervous systems
"go to pieces" under the fatigue fol-
lowing undue exertion. In report
to the United States Bureau Of Educar
ton he says: We do not go on the
theory that the gymnasium is good for
every one. and, therefore. every one
must take gymnastics. The purpose
of these classes in rest is to teach
girls who are restless from the per-
formance of tasks that ought not to
produce fatigue how to acquire con-
troll over their own nervous systems.
Putting every one-girls as well as
boys-through stiff regimen OF gym
nasium work has had bad results In
many instances. and Is a thing to be
avoided. II the director of physical
culture in the University Of Wiscon-
sin makes allowance for constitutional
differences students not built to en-
dure overstrain will have reason to
thank the good fortune which made
him arbiter OF their physical destinies.

Surprise Is frequently expressed be-
cause there are SO many school chill
dren who are bad spoilers. but there
is a substantial reason for 1t. In
Kansas very few of short list OF
words were spelled correctly by liz
school and college students. Now
these pupils are not taught the way
their fathers and mothers were, says
the Boston Globe. Under the old pub
lie school system there were spelling
bees in the schools and the pupils
took pride in excelling. Under the
spelling bee system children between
the ages of eight and twelve can &C
Quire quite a large Vocabulary by the
practice of spelling words OF several
sylables. The rising generation is full
Of poor spoilers. but 1t is not their
fault. for little attention is paid to
that accomplishment. It would be we'll
for all teachers to put their pupils
through a course of spelling every few
days, and also to teach them to read
aloud. Reading, writing and spelling
should go hand In hand. Those lack
ing these accomplishments are not far
removed from the illiterate class.
