posite Forest City, ard in adver-
tising for bids for furnishing the
400 tons required, invited bids

ANTIQUITY OF CHEESE.
The Bible Mentions Il, as Do Homer
and Other Early Writer'S.

ne Dido MENTIONS H. as 10 1omer
and Other Early Writers.
Cheese and curdling Of the milk are
mentioned in the book Of Job. David
was sent by his father. Jesse, to carry
how his brother Jared. "Cheese of
kline" formed part of the supplies Of
David's army at Mahanaim during the
rebellion Of Absalom.
Homer says that cheese formed part
of the ample stores found by Ulysses
in the cave Of the Cyclop Polyphemus.
Euripides, Theocritus and other early
poets mention cheese. LudolphuS says
that excellent cheese and butter were
made by the ancient Philippians, and
Strabo states that some Of the ancient
Britons were so ignorant that, though
they had abundance Of milk. they did
not understand the art Of making
cheese.
There is no evidence that any Of
these ancient nations had discovered
the use of rennet in making cheese.
They appear to have merely allowed
the milk to sour and subsequently to
have formed the cheese from the case
Gus part Of the milk after eXpelling the
serum or whey.
AS David when too young to carry
with ten cheeses, ten loaves and an
ephah Of parched corn, the cheeses
must have been very small.

MOVED THE LOGAN STONE.
Then He Had the Costly Job Of Moving
Il Back AGAIN,


Il Back Again.
Do you know what happens to the
icOnoclast who attempts to prove to
the world that there is nothing in its
pet superstitions? Did you ever hear
the story Of the British naval lieuten-
ant who demonstrated the fact that
there was nothing supernatural about
the Logan stone? Out there at the
tip of Lands End, close to where the
pirates of Penzance used to hold FORTH
the huge mass of rock rested on the
top of the cliff, so delicately poised
that child could make it rock this
way and that. A gust Of wind would
set it to vibrating, and yet for hun
dreds of years it had been believed
that no earthly force could dislodge it
from its position. Then along came
the lieutenant, who laughed at all such
silly superstition. He would prove to
the deluded people of Cornwall that
the Logan stone could be dumped
into the sea by the physical prowess
Of few sturdy sailors.
Luckily for his position in the navy
of his majesty, George w., the lieu
tenant succeeded only in hurting the
charmed rock little way down the
cliff. where it lodged in a shelving
crevice, for such howl went up, not
only from the guides and tavern peo-
pie who made a living off Of the tour
lists who came to see the quivering
bowlder, but from the antiquaries and
scientists who believed that the rock
h"I been Co!.cately poised there by
the druid priests or that it illustrated
little understood force Of nature, that
the admiralty sent word to the i'm
pious young officer that he would Ell
Their restore the Logan stone to its
place or forfeit his. A derrick and a
months salary were required to set
the stone in its place.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

ROYAL BREAKS JAIL.

Howard Royal, the 16-year old Cos
mopolis boy who was arrested last
week accused Of stealing bicycle,
escaped from the Aberdeen Jail Mon
day night by means of a rope made
from his bedding. He was, on &C
count of his youth, confined in the
women's ward, where the bars over the
windows are light He succeeded in
prying two of them apart and lower
ed himself to the ground. He has not
been recaptured, although the local po-
lice, because of extenuatlng circum-
stances connected with the case, have
made no particular effort to locate the
lad.

Wonderful EARRINGS.

The earrings of Biote, the daughter
of Aristotle, which were found in
Chalcis. where the young woman was
buried, represented doves swinging in
golden hoops. The miniature birds
were marvelously wrought. the feath-
ers of graduated gold, the wings and
breasts enriched with bands Of color
supplied by inserted gems. Precious
stones cleaned like tiny sparks for the
eyes. Daintiest device of all. the tail
feathers were so finely made and curl
ously adjusted as to move at the slight
est motion of the pendent hoop, so that
whenever the proud wearer should toss
or shake her head her two attendant
doves would seem to balance them
selves upon their perches. as live birds
do in swinging on bough. They were
found by exploring archaeologists.

MODERATE WINTER is
-.
LOOKED FORWARD TO

Several days ago timber cruiser
we'll known in this county returned
from long stay in the vicinity of the
headwaters of the Wynooche river. It
is his opinion, based on observing
the subtle manifestations of Nature,
that the coming winter is to be a
mild ont. 1T is true" he said, that
the squirrels are rustling nuts to beat
the band, but they always do that, as
long as the nuts last. The fur bearing
animals are very thinly furred for
this time of the year, and 1 am sure
this winter is going to be a decent
one"

INSPECTING oUINAULT ROAD.

An engineer from the federal dis
trict forester's officer at Portland is on
the harbor for the purpose of reporting
ON the advantages and disadvantages
of the several proposed government
roads up the Quinault valley. Two
routes are available, one on the south
side of the lake and the other on the
north side. Either road, if built, will
open up large and rich agricultural
section. 1t is not known when the
government will make final decision.
