Cheese for Dessert.

1t is said that a little cheese at the
end of a dinner acts as a digestive
agent, but whether or not this is
true, no well appointed dinner is
without it. In many homes a bit of
cheese with an accompanying fruit
or jelly, is used as a dessert instead
of some pudding or pie. 1t is just a
sufficient finish to a family dinner
without dessert. If there is dessert,
the cheese is frequently served with
the salad, roquefort cheese with let
tuce or tomatoes. Connoisseurs do
not cut a roquefort cheese until it is
well advanced in decay and therefore
it is not well to set before a man OF
this sort a new bit of the cheese. 1t is
more advisable to leave it out alto
gether and give him brie or cheddar,
both of which are favorite cheeses
with men.

Quaint Runner pesian.

There is a strong evidence of the re-
vtval of things quaint in needlework,
not only in stitches, but in designs as
we'll. One expression of this revival
is noticeable in a runner for a library
table. Conventionalized birds form the
principal motif. and are stamped upon
heavy tan crash. They are embroidered
in vivid colorings. heavy wool being
used for the purpose. The rounded

Nina passed him on the street, and
the following day Walter was be-

tperate with the discovery that Nina
and her aunt had left the city.
Whittier bound he knew not, but by
the end of a week he was pretty well
assured that capricious Nina had in
deed started on a trip abroad.
For another week Walter worried
and sorrowed. Finally he came to the
conclusion that there was no hope of
a reconciliation and decided that 1t
was his fate to die of a broken heart!
It was quite the fad for the idle man
with money to seek consolation in
change. He started for Europe by
way of New York. Meantime, al
though he did not know that, Nina
had followed out her threat to travel
around the world by way of San Fran
cisco.
The war broke out while Walter was
in Paris and he changed his plan of
visiting Russia. The same intelli-
gence was acquired by Nina while en-
joying the novelties of Japan. She
learned that Berlin and Vienna were
now an impossibility to her. Her
timid, nervous aunt insisted on a
quick dash for Italy and a speedy fur

Nina would regret that her stubborn
ness had sent him to a tragic death,
reflected he! Then he arose from the
luxurious chair in which he was rest
ing. Two ladies had just arrived at
the hosiery. He saw them clearly
on their way to the parlor.
"Fate-destiay!" he gasped, for he
had recognized Nina and her chap

As nthers Saw Him

]. Fuller Gloom-I stood on the cor

to myself how distressingly homely
were most of the people who passed
along the street. Just as had
plunged pretty deeply into ~philosophiz-
ing we the matter, two girls fiuttered
by, and l heard one of them say to
the other: Mercy! What homely peo-
pie one sees on the street! Just look
at that awful-looking old man stand

the manufacture of maize bread and
many other preparations in which
ground maize forms the basis.
The flesh consumed is principally
pork, although mutton, goat and beef
enter to some extent into the daily
dietary, more especially in the towns.
Pork, however, in the fresh and in the
cured state, is used everywhere, and
every farmer. small or large, is a
grower of pigs, the type preferred be-
ing the Mangalicza breed. which has
the characteristic of producing deep
layers of fat along the back, which
is cut into long strips, slightly sailed
and used in the place of butter. So
important is the pork-curing industry
considered in Serbia that the govern
ment subsidies the curing establish
ments and in several ways gives con
cessions to the curers of pig meat.
The salt required in the business is
subject to a rebate of so per cent OF
its value, as it is used for Industrial
purposes, there being a state monop-
oily of salt in the country.
Sheep Rank Next to Pigs.
Some of the customs in connection
with agriculture are very interesting
among them being the universal coop
Grafton of the farmers in annually
sending their sheep to the hills. The
sheep industry ranks Lext to that OF
pigs, ana wool is produced in consid'
cradle quantity. Serbian mutton ia
noted also in eastern countries. and
before the war was much in demand
in Constantinople.
But the principal use of the sheer
is to produce milk, from which a great
variety of cheeses is made. The farm
ers who are the owners of the sheer
unite together to employ n or more
shepherds. who take charge of theii
fiocks and milk them while they are
on the hills. The shepherds are also
responsible for making the cheese oul
of the milk, and pay themselves fol-
their trouble by taking a certain per
centage of the produce, the remainder
being divided among the farmers. &C

Dead Sea Not So Dead.

The name Dead Sea" nowhere oc'
ours in the Bible, and was not used
by writer's before the time of Christ.
The name was evidently given to the
lake on account of the belief that no
life existed in it. But some low forms
of life are found in the water, and
many small animals and birds live
near the shores. The great tragedy
of Sodom and Gomorrah may also
have led to the bestowal of the name.

HAS BEEN TAUGHT LESSON
Never Again VIII One Particular Dog
Approach Too Close to Any
Flypaper.

Trix is just a white bulldog and has
never taken a course in insectology.
His owner had tied a piece of fiypaper
on the outside of the kitchen screen
door to catch some of the flies that
sought to get into the house. Trix
walked leisurely up on the porch after
spending a half hour looking through
the cracks in the real fence. He no.
.iced a commotion On the screen and
walked over to investigate. He looked
closely at the ~flypaper. Then he turned
his head. Yes, there was 10 mistaking
the sound. Two or three flies, not yet
ready to give up the ghost, were pro-
testing with vigorous buzzes against
their enforced detainment. One of the
flies Trix thought particularly big for
a housefy. But the working of his
dog mind did not carry him beyond
that point. He stepped up closer and
wriggled his nose.
The big fly moved again in it's sticky
bed. The dogs nose went closer. The
breeze blew a rag hanging on the back
porch and it struck Trix on the hind
leg. Unthinkingly he jerked forward
just enough to have his nose come in
contact with the flypaper. There was
a howl and he tore down into the back
yard with the big fly sitting on his
nose. Into the dirt the dog thrust his
nose and the bee was rubbed off. II
was ten minutes before the dog had
made up his mind to take things philo
so~phically and quit whining about u
bee sitting down OF his nose. And
now, If you show him a piece of 1ypa
per, he will tear the back fence down
trying to get away from it.-Indian
