CHEESE DIET IS WHOLESOME
One Pound Of the Food Supplies More
Than Twice as Much Energy as
Same Amount Of Steak.

TOO many people use cheese merely
rs an appetizer, says the Scientific
American in commenting on recent
bulletin of the United States depart
mcnt of agriculture. According to this
bulletin and to the universal practice
in the great cheese-producing countries
Of Europe, cheese is one of the most
valuable of foods and most satisfac-
tory substitute for meat.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as pound
Of fowl or round steak and almost
twice as much protein as the same
amount Of fowl or ham.
Contrary to the opinion Of many,
cheddar or ''store" cheese is not usu-
ally indigestible and constituting. Ex-
tensive digestion experiments conduct
ed by the department have demon
strated that more than IS per cent Of
the protein in cheese is digested and
that 80 per cent of its energy is avail
able. Even when eaten in large guam
titles and for long periods, no case OF
indigestion, constipation or other dis
turbance was observed in those who
ate it. One person who ate cheese as
the chief source of protein and energy,
eating an average Of 9.27 ounces daily
for more than two years, did fair
amount of muscular work and kept in
good health.

Dust in the Sweeper.

''Only last week 1 found Mary's ear
ring here" said the experienced house
wife to a younger woman as yet quite
inexperienced in housekeeping ways
who had wondered why the speaker
should look over the accumulated dust
that she had just shaken out of a
carpet sweeper; the Mary referred to
being the maid employed in this home.
''A1ary came to me-" the speaker con-
tinued, land said she had lost one of
her earrings and she had looked every
where for it, but just simply couldn't
find it; but I knew the likeliest place
to look for it, and there I did find it,
in the dust of the carpet sweeper,
where many jewel has been found be-
fore this. and where, no doubt, many a
jewel has been lost. l always look
over the dust out of a carpet sweeper
before throwing it away" Upon hear
ing which the inexperienced young
woman registered a mental resolve
that when she went to housekeeping
she would do the same.

Courtesy Was Wasted .

There is such a thing as wasted
courtesy and one encounters it almost
every day in the crowded sIlbwg or
elevated trains, observes a New York
correspondent. Recently man was
riding in damned train and when it
stopped at the Forty-second street sta
ton there was an thrush of passen-
gers. Among them was a richly
dressed woman, who led boy of
about ten by the hand. She stood be-
fore misunderstanding man who &C.
cupied a seat. With touch Of his
hat he arose to give the woman his
seat, when the boy broke loose from
her and jumped into the vacant seat.
The woman made no attempt to take
the seat for herself and remained
standing. What was worse, she made
not the slightest acknowledgment Of
the mans courtesy.

Cotton in Brazil.

A. L. Moreau Gottschalk. united
States consul general at Rio de jan
GIRO, is enthusiastic over the prospect
of a revival Of the cotton growing IN
dustry Of Brazil, according to the San
Francisco Argonaut. He calls atten-
ZION to the fact that the republic Is the
original home Of one Of the parent cot
tons of the world. Cotton thrives In
the country when skilfully cultivated
but the industry has thus far been neg
sected for others more profitable. The
consul general advances strong point
when he says that by-product OF the
cotton industry cottonseed oil cake
would be a great help to the cotton
raiSers.

OLD TONES Of PArhlAReHs'
Cave Of Maehpslah, Bought by Abra:
ham for q eurying Place, Has
Stood Ravaaes Of Time.

The tombs of the patriarchs in Jeru-
salem, the cave of Machpelah, which
Abraham bought for "a possession OF
a burying place." is still in existence.
For forty centuries it withstood the
ravages Of time and men, relates q
writer.
It is situated in the town of Hebron,
16 miles south-southwest of Jerusalem,
and sheltered from PROCLAMATION by a
Mahometan mosque that rises above 1t.
The tomb contains the whole patri-
archal family, with the exception of
Rachel. The cave is divided into an
upper and lower compartment. Only
the upper compartment is accessible to
the priest in charge of the mosque,
but he only enters it in times of great
calamity, and for the sole purpose OF
praying. AS to the lower cOmpart-
ment, where repose the illustrious ia
Tiers of the Jewish nation, they re-
manned completely closed until the
year 1862, when, for the first time,
King Edward VII, then the prince
of Wales, together with Doctor STAN
ley, the dean of Westminster Abbey.

homet II, the conqueror Of Egypt, Selim

There, amidst the fragrant pine for
