Athena, Oregon Famous Cheese Long Made at Roquefort Roquefort cheese comes from the town of Roquefort perched high on a mountain In the department of Avey ron. French historians tell us that as far back as "Bible times" cheese was carried from Roquefort to the Medi terranean sea. The peasant people used to carry Cheese to the top of the mountain and hfde It In caves, which were found to be especially fitted by nature for the storing of cheese. The cool temperature of the caves made them excellent storehouses. This cheese Is made of sheep's milk. Every morning the milk Is skimmed, strained and warmed almost to the boiling point. Then It Is put Into pans and stirred with willow wjthes. A little rennet Is used to curdle the milk. After the curds are formed they are mixed with a specially prepared bar ley bread, which starts the green mold always to be seen In Roquefort cheese and helps to give It its distinctive j flavor. The cheese Is nllowed to re main In the press several days and Is then taken to the caves and sold. There It Is cured with salt. The out side of the cheese Is rubbed with salt until the pores are filled. The cheeses are cured In the caves for about four months, when they are shipped to nearly all parts of the world. Capitalize Blunder It doesn't make much difference whether your age Is seventeen, seventy or one hundred and seventy you will grow and develop as long as you are willing to profit by your mistakes, says Harry Daniel In Thrift. Look your mistakes straight In the eye, shake hands with them and then bid them good-by forever. A bad habit Is noth ing but a mistake that has acquired a permanent address. The average man of success today will say, "I owe my success to hard work." But he Is holding out one of his choicest secrets. What he should say Is, "I'm a success because I knew how to clenn up $100 worth of wisdom on every little $2 mistake I ever made." Mistakes seldom bite the first time. Mytteries Not all the mysteries are cleared up. There Is one -connected with those persons who walk across the continent or wheel perambulators from one sec tion to another or undertake to get the autographs of a thousand mayors ! all, say, upon a bet. What one would like to know Is who puts up the reward or lays down the other half of the wager. We never hear of him. He is more obscure and modest than the head of a bootlegging syndicate : and, apparently, every bit as afraid j that be will get his deserved punish- j ment. Toledo Blade. j The Churches M. E.
