of Ills prescriptions Is for consumption
and, strange enough, it Is quite In accord
with modern methods in some respects.

finds himself spitting and hacking on

take possession of a cow and

he had observed that good living,

essential as prerequisites for
treatment.?Journal of Hygiene.

Knch country has its faTorlte chees*
The Swiss ninke the (Jruyere chees?
ho known more generally In this countr;
ho ns Sehweitzerkase. It is made of goatt
milk and is full of holes caused by th
or gases in fermentation. The cheese 1
le imitated, but never equaled, here. Th<
10 typical English cheese is the Cheddar
first made in the English town afto;
le which it is named. It is very lik<
'8 American cream cheese. Cheslre Is nn
re other favorite English cheese, while tin
fashionable cheese of the day is Stilton
y a cheese which defies imitation. Sugi
:a choose, first made in England, is now
16 made the world over. Its distinguish
^ lug characteristic is the flavoring anc
ie coloring of sage, parsley, spinach nnti
10 marigold leaves bruised and steeped.
18 Erie is a popular French soft cheese,
c* and Camembert, originating in Normnndy,
is another. These cheeses arc
cured in caves where the temDeraturp
never rises nbove 12 to 14 degrees.
'r They are ready for marketing in May
andNovcmber. Roquefort, a celebrated
French cheese, is made from the min11
gled milk of goats and sheep that
>. browse on the thymc_Aul banks of the
i Arno, in western France. These cheeses
1 are also ripened In caves, but the tern1
pernture is kept at 40 degrees.
' Akin to the Roquefort cheese is that
* called Qorgonzoia, made in Italy after
' similar processes. It is milder than
Roquefort and not quite so good, but it
Is sold much cheaper. Another Italian
cheese, the Parmesan, is very hard, and
is usually grated. It is oftenest used
with macaroni. Another curious Italian
cheese is the Cacciocavello, or horse
cheese, which is delicious, and improves
with age. It is cured in the skins
used In making sausages and comes in
curious, snusagelike shapes.
Idmburger cheese, so beloved by the
Germans, originated in Belgium. It is
extraordinarily rich, being allowed to
ripen to putrefaction; hence its horrifying
odor in unaccustomed nostrils.
Some persons have a saying, "Gorgon!
sola is a cheese to swear by, Llmburgcr
to swear at." From Holland come
the Edam and the pineapple, both made
in cleanly manner and very popular.

"Well, gentlemen," said Herrmann.
"If one of you will kindly unlace the

Spider Fancies.
An elderly lady who lives In her own
house at Buttes Cliauiuont, Paris, has
discovered that spiders are peculiarly
appreciative of inuslc. She has made
great pots of them, and her house Is full
of spiders of all kinds, on whom she
spends her time and fortune,
Her proteges ore lodged In a large,
airy room, where she lias provided every
necessary support for their different
webs. Ilcr great favorites arc Immense
black spiders, which, with their
hairy legs and great bodies, look very
repulsive to others.
When she Is inclined to show off their
capabilities for music, she surrounds
herself with a circle of water to keep
off their too delicate attentions and
plays slowly, softly and In a minor key
on the harp. From all corners of the
room the spiders run toward her, listening

Zoological society's gardens, Regent's

case containing the cobra dc capello,
put his forehcnd against the glass while
the cobra struck out at him. The glass
was between them. Darwin's mind was
perfectly convinced as to the inability

In their lives and that, though It
may seem very sweet to marry "the 1
first and only lovo," this same "first 1

world that they ought to have married.
Some, Indeed, may advise couples to
marry before they are out of their teens 1
and settle down before the distractions (
of the world can attempt to shake their t 1
allegiance to each other, but this set- i '
