"’ROQUEFORT CHEESE.' How the Green Mold and the Flavor Are Produced. A cheese expert has the following to say about Roquefort cheese: "To make Roquefort cheese we must have the proper raw material—sheep's milk. Os course we have sheep i* America, but show me a Yankee farmer who would go to the trouble of milking sheep! It is even too much for him to milk cows, and it is the standard lamentation of all our farmers that the boys, even if they stay on the farm, do not want to do any milking. Before they do such kind of work they would rather go to a business school or a college where they study agriculture, chemistry, etc. "How is Roquefort cheese cured? The mold In the cheese is produced by moldy breadcrumbs which are ground to a green dust and mixed in the cheese curd. The country around Roquefort is very rocky. The limestone rocks are full of crevices an<4 caves, which draw in the warm air in summer, give It out in winter, and vice versa. “These caves have been provided by nature and Improved by cellars that have been built in such away that these natural currents of warm and cold air pass through them, where Roquefort cheese Is cured. This Is the way that Roquefort cheese is ripened and gets its peculiar flavor and character. It is all very well for the scientists to study the chemical process which the cheese Is undergoing, but to produce this process in an artificial way is another question. Nature is the best chemist. "The manufacture of Roquefort cheese has been tried in America, but the manufacturers did not make much of a success. Nobody manufactures Roquefort in America at present. We know of one manufacturer who tried to make Roquefort cheese of goats' milk. He boasted especially that he would use only the milk of ‘imported’ goats. Just think of the idea! Imported goats grazing on American pastures were expected to give better flavored milk than domestic goats. It Is the climate, the special soil, atmospheric Influences, etc., which produce the fine fragrant grass. The milk of the cows or goats or sheep is naturally the product of the grass they are eating, the water they are drinking, and neither this nor the climate nor the country can be imported to America—only the product which the climate or country produces. That is why neither the American Camembert nor Roquefort ever has the flavor or fragrance of the Imported article in spite of all the imported goats or imported cattle or even of imported microbes.”—Chicago Record-Herald. BOOMERANG INVENTIONS. Clisthenes Introduced the custom of ostracism and was the first to be banished thereby. Matthew Hopkins, the witch finder, was himself tried by his own tests and put to death as a wizard. Ludovico Sforza, who Invented the iron shroud, was the first to suffer death by this horrible torture. Perillos, who invented the brazen bull for I’halaris, tyrant of Agrigentum, was the first person baked to death in the horrible monster. The Regent Morton of Scotland, who invented the maiden, a sort of guillotine, was the first to be beheaded thereby. This was in the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

The bishop of Verdun, who invented the iron cages, too small to allow the person confined in them to stand upright or lie at full length, was the first to be shut up in one. The perriere was an instrument for throwing’ stones of 3,000 pounds in weight, and the inventor fell a victim to his own invention by the accidental discharge of a perriere against a wall. —Scrap Book. Old Time Bank Sinecures. In the old days the Bank of England was paternal in its treatment of its clerks. One young fellow was distinguished only for his zeal as a member of the volunteer corps which now Is defunct His clerkly services were negligible and neglected, but when it was brought to the notice of the directors they remembered his martial ardor and gave him a nice little sinecure. Another clerk was reported to them as a really clever amateur painter. They saw his pictures. “It is a pity that such talent should l>e wasted over ledgers,” was the kindly verdict So they gave him a room at the bank for use as a studio and appointed him to the post of superintending the burning of canceled bank notes every Friday afternoon.—London Chronicle. The Greek Figure. Greek figures of men appear taller and more graceful than those of moderns. Modern artists make the upright figure seven and one-half times the length of the head. The Greeks made It eight times, lengthening the shin, and the longer sweep from knee to heel gave the figure increased grace and dignity. The same plan was frequently adopted by Lord Leighton, In whose paintings the same effect Is obtained.—New York American. Made a Difference. Teacher—ls one servant girl could clean two rooms in two hours, how long would it take two servant girls to do It? Little Girl—Four hours. Teacher—Wrong. It would only take one hour. Little Girl —Oh, I didn’t know you was talking about servant girls that wasn’t on speaking terms!— London Tit-Bits. Kept His Contract. Patient — I thought you extracted teeth without pain. Dentist—Weil, you still have the pain, haven’t you?—Life

More News from the New England States. If any one has any doubt as to the virtue of Foley's Kidney Cure, they need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H. Stimpson, of Willimantic, Conn., who, after almost losing hope of recovery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley’s Kidney Cure, which he says was “just the thing” for him, as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o CEMENT WORK GUARANTEED.
