About the famous Roquefort cheese the following legend is told: "A shepherd lad, having more luncheon than he could eat, laid a large portion uf his bread and cheese upon a natural shelf In one of the caverns near by. He forgot all about it until several months later, when he found the cheese, instead of being dried up or rotten, was rich, moist, creamy, and streaked with greenish-blue veins. He shared his piece of cheese with others, and the villagers were quick *.o recognize the improved texture and quality. Henceforth all their cheeses were taken to these caves to ripen.

"Well, then, Neil Semple and Capt. Hyde have fought a duel. That is what comes of giving way to passion. I never fought a duel. No one should make me. It is a fixed principle with me." "Poor Neil! Hi* fault, I am sure, it was not." "Joanna! Nell Is nearly dead. If he had been in the right he would not be neafTy^dead. The l«ord does not forsake a parson who is in the right way." In the hall behind them. Katherine stood. The pallor of her face, the hopeless droop of her white shoulders and arms, were visible in Its. gloomy shadows. Softly rs a spirit she walked, as she drew nearer to them. "And the Englishman? Is he hurt?" "Killed. He has at least twenty wounds. Till morning he will not live. It was the councillor himself who sep­ arated the men." "My good Joris, it was like blra." For a moment Katherine's con­ sciousness reeled. The roar of the ocean which girds our life round was to her ears, the feeling of chill and collapse at her heart. But with a supreme will she took possession of herself. "Weak I will not be. All I will know. All I will suffer." And with these thoughts she went back to the room and took her place at the table. In a few minutes the rest fol­ lowed. Batavius had anticipated madam's amazement and shock. He had felt a Just satisfaction in the suf­ fering he was bringing to Katherine. But nothing had happened as he..e*- pected. The meal. Instead of being pleasantly lengthened over such dread­ ful intelligence, was hurried and si­ lent. It was some comfort that after it Joanna and fce could walk in the gar­ den and talk the affair thoroughly over. Katherine watched them away, and then she fled to her room. And oh, how she wept! She took from their hiding place the few letters her lover had written her, and she mourned over them as women mourn in such extremities. In the full tide of her anguish, Lysbet stood at the door. She heara the inarticulate words of woe, and her heart ached for her child. She had followed her to give her comfort, to weep with her; but she felt that hour that Katherine was no more a child to be soothed with her mother's kiss. She had be­ come a woman, and a woman's sorrow had found her. It was near ten o'clock when Joris came home. His face was troubled, bis clothing disarranged and blood­ stained; and Lysbet never remember­ ed to have seen him so completely ex­ hausted. "Bram is with Neil," be said, "he will not be home." "And thou?" "I helped them carry--the other. To the 'King's Arms' we took him." "Live will he?" "His left lung is pierced through. A bad wotind in the throat he has. But then, youth he has, and a great spirit, and hope. I wish not for his death, my God knows." "Neil, what of him?" "Unconscious be was when I left him at his home. Docs Katherine know?" "She knows." "How, then?" "O Joris, if in her room thou could have heard her crying! My heart for her aches, the sorrowful one!" "See, then, that this lesson she miss not. It is a hard one, but learn it she must. If thy love would pass it by, think this, for her good It is." The next morning was the sabbath, and many painful questions suggested themselves to Joris and Lysbet Van Heemskirk. Joris felt that he must not take his scat among the deacons until he had been fully exonerated of all blame of blood-guiltiness by the dominie and bis eiders and deacons in full kirk session. Madam could hard­ ly endure the thonght of the glances that would be thrown at her daughter, and the probable slights she would receive, so Katherine's piteous en­ treaty was listened to, and she was allowed to remain at home. The kirk that morning would have been the pillory to her. She was un­ speakably grateful for the solitude of the house, for space and silence, in hich she could have the relief of unrestrained weeping. About the middle of the morning, she beard Bram's footsteps. Bram had not thought of Katherine's staying from kirk, and when she confronted him, so tear-stained and woe-begone, his heart was full of pity for her. With­ in the last twenty-fcur hours he had begun to understand the temptation in which Katherine had been; begun to understand that love never asks, What is thy name? . Of what country art thou? Who is thy father?' He felt that so long as he lived he must remember Miriam Cohen as she stood talking to him in the shadowy store And this memory of Miriam made him very pitiful to Katherine. "Every one is angry at me, Bram, even my father; and Batavlus will not sit on the chair at my side; and Joanna says a great disgrace I have made for her. And thou? Wilt thon also scold me? I think I shall die of grief." "Scold thee, thou little one? That 1 will not. And those that are angry with thee may be angry with me also." "Bram! my Bram! my brother! There Is one comfort for me,--If I knew that he still lived; If one hope thou could give me!" "What hope there Is, I will go tt»d see, and, if there is good news, I will be glad for thee." Not half an hour was Bram away; and yet, to the miserable girl, how grltf and fear lengthened out the mo­ ments! When Bram came back, It with a word of hope on his lips. "I kave seen," he said, "who dost I thou think?--the Jew Cohen. He of all men, he has sat by Capt. Hyde's side all night; and he has dressed the wound the English surgeon declared 'beyond mortal skill.' And he said to me, 'Three times, in the Persian des­ ert, I have cured wounds still worse, and the Holy One hath given me the power of healing; and. If He wills, j^e young man shall recover.* Th« w what he said, Katherine." "Forever I will love the Jpw. Though he fail. I will love him. So kind he is, even to those who have not spoken well, nor done well, to him." At this moment the family returned from the morning service, and Bram rather defiantly drew his sister to his side. Joris was not with them. He had stopped al the "Icing's Arms" to ask if Capt.. Hyde was still alive; for, in spite of everything, the young mail's heroic cheerfulness In the agony of the preceding night had deeply touch­ ed Joris. No one spoke to Katherine; even her mother was annoyed and hu­ miliated at the social ordeal through which they had just passed, and she thought it only reasonable that the er­ ring girl should be made to share the trial. As thp dme went on poor Katherine Van Heeimskirk shivered and sickened in the presence of averted eyes and up­ lifted shoulders, and in that chill at­ mosphere of disapproval which sep­ arated her from the sympathy and confidence of her olda friends and ac­ quaintances. "It is thy punishment." said her mother, "bear it bravely and patiently. In a little while, it will be forgot." But weeks went on, and the wounded men slowly fought death away from their pillows, and Katherine did not recover the place in social estimation which she had lost through the ungovernable tempers of her lovers But nothing ill lasts forever; and in three months Neil Semple was in his office again, wan and worn with fever and suffering, and wearing his sword arm in a sling, but still decidedly world-like and life-like. It was evi­ dent that public opinion was in a large measure wjth him, and though in the Middle Kirk the affair was sure to be the subject of a reproof, and of a sus­ pension of its highest privileges, yet it was not difficult to feel the sym­ pathy often given to deeds publicly censured, but privately admired. Joris remarked this spirit with a little as­ tonishment and dissent. He could not find in his heart any excuse for either Neil or Hyde; and, when thej&ltier en­ larged with seme acerbity upon the requirements of honor among men, Jcris offended him by replying: "Well, then, elder, little I think of that 'honor' which runs not with the laws of God and country." "Let me tell you, Joris, the 'voice of the people is the voice of God,' in a measure; and you may see with your ain e'en that it mair that acquits Neil o' wrong-doing. Man, Joris! would you punish a (air sword-fight wi' the hangman?" "A bfelter way there is. In the pillory I would stand these men of honor, who of their own feelings think more than of Ihe law of God. A very quick end that punishment would put to a custom wicked and absurd." "Weel, Joris, we'll hae no quarrel anent the question. Here comes Neil, and we'll let the question fa' to the ground. There are wiser men than either you or I on baith sides." Joris nodded gravely, and turned to welcome the young man. More than ever he liked him; for, apart fiom moral and prudential reasons, it was easy for the father to forgive an unreasonable love for his Katherine. Also, he was now more anxious for a marriage between Neil and bis daugh­ ter. It was indeed the best thing to fully restore her to the social esteem of her own people; for by making her bis wife, Neil would most emphatically exonerate her from all blame in the quarrel. Just this far, and no farther, had Neil's three months' suffering aided his suit,--ne had now the full approval of Joris, backed by the weight of this social justification. But, in spite of these advantages, he was really much farther away from Katherine. She had heard from Bram the story of the challenge and the fight; heard how patiently Hyde had parried Nell's attack rather than re­ turn it, until Neil had so passionately refused any satisfaction less than his life; heard, also, how even at the point of death, fainting and falling, Hyde had tried to protect her ribbon at his breast. She never wearied of talking with Bram on the subject; she thought of it all day, dreamed of it all night. And she knew much more about it than her parents or Joanna supposed Bram had easily fallen into the habit of calling at Cohen's to ask after hi3 patient. At first he saw Miriam often ; and, when be did, life became a heav­ enly thing to Bram Van Heemskirk. Katherine very soon suspected how matters stood with her brother, and gratitude led her to talk with him about the lovely Jevfess. But for some weeks after the duel she could not bear to leave the house. It was only after both men were known to be recovering, that she ven­ tured to kirk; and her experience there was not one which tempted her to try the streets and the stores. How­ ever, no interest is a living Interest in a community but politics; and far more important events bad now the public attention. During the previous March, the Stamp Act and the Quar­ tering Act had passed both houses of Parliament; and Virginia and Massa­ chusetts, conscious of their dangerous character, had roused the fears of the other Provinces; and a convention of their delegates was appointed to meet during October in New York. It was this important session which drew Neil Semple, with scarcely healed wounds from his chamher. The streets were noisy with hawkers crying the detested Acts, and crowded with groups of stern-looking men discussing them. It was dvrtng this time of exclte- V ment that Katherine said one morning^ at breakfast, "Bram, wait one minute for me. I am going to Kip's store for my mother." At the store, Bram left her, and aft­ er selecting the goods her mother needed, Katherine was going up Pearl street, when she heard herself called fu a familiar and urgent voice.' At the same moment a door was flung open; and Mrs. Gordon, running down the few steps, put her hand upon the girl's shoulder. "Oh, my dear, this Is a piece of good fortune past belief! Come Into my lodgings. Oh, indeed you shall! I will have no excuse. Surely you ow,e Dick and me some reward after the pangs we have suffered for you." She was leading Katherine Into the house as she spoke; and Katherine had not the will, and therefore not the power, to oppose her, She placed tfce- girl by her side on the sofa; she took her bands, and, with a genuine grief and love, told her all that "poor Dick" had suffered and was stlU suffering for her sake. Katherine covered her face, and sobbed with a hopelessness and aban­ don that equally fretted Mrs. Gordon. "If I could only see Richard,--only see him for one moment!" "That Is exactly what I am going to propose. He will get better when he has seen you. 1 will call a coach, and we will go at oqce." ' "Alas! Go I dare not. My father and flfy mother!" "And Dick,--what of Dick, poor Dick, who is dying for you?" She went to the door, and gave the order for a coach. "Your lover, Katherine. Child, have you no heart? Put on your bon­ net again. Here also are my veil and cloak. No one will perceive that it is you. It is the part of humanity, I assure you. Do so much for a poor soul who is at the grave's mouth." While thus alternately urging and persuading Katherine, the coach came, the disguise was assumed, and the two drove rapidly to the "King's Arms." Hyde was lying upon a couch which had been drawn close to the window. He was yet too weak to stand, too weak to endure long the strain of com­ pany or books or papers. He heard his aunt's voice and foot­ fall, and felt, as be always did, a vague pleasure in her advent. Whatever of life came into his chamber of suffering came through her. She brought him daily such Intelligences as she thought conducive to his recovery; and It must be acknowledged that it was not al­ ways her "humor to be truthful." For Hyde had so craved news of Kather­ ine, that she believed he would die wanting it; and she had therefore fallen, without one conscientious scruple, into the reporter's tempta­ tion,--inventing the things which ought to have taken place, and did not. (To be continued.) DR. COFFEE WHY HE LAUGHS AT DOCTOR3. Representative Livingston of Georgia, Tells Good Story. Representative Livingstone of Geor­ gia, believes that he got the better of the surgeons this fall and he is con­ gratulating .himself accordingly. As a result of his arduous campaign work he became possessed of a very bad throat. It refused to yield to ordinary treatment, so he went to a distinguished surgeon in his part of the country. The surgeon took a glance at the inflamed organ and then got out his knives and prepared for an operation. Mr. Livingstone de­ murred. After much pleading he was ranted twenty-four hours iu which to tighten up his nerve for the ordeal. While engaged iu the tightening proc­ ess another patient came along, was stretched out on the operating table and died before the surgeon finished with him. Livingstou heard of this kud stood off. the surgeon on one pre­ text or another until he was ready to start for Washington. Just before leaving home he catne upon an old negro mammy who offered a cure for his throat. She soaked a lump of sugar In jurpentlne. The dose did all the old mammy claimeu for it. "And that," said Representative Liv­ ingstone. 'is the reason I laugh every time I see a doctor's sign." THE EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING. Completely Strips Bark From Tree- No Trace of Fire. That mach valuable knowledge as to the effects of lightning may be gained by a study of trees that have been struck by it is maintained by many English scientists. A tree which stood for many years on the side of a road a few miles from Wal- lingford. in England, was struck by lightning during a violent storm a short time ago and utterly destroyed. Mr. Percy E. Spielmann examined it a few hours afterward and found that the bark had been completely strip­ ped off and flung to one side, and that a large branch had also been torn away and splintered. He looked for some token of fire but was unable to find any. He noticed, however, tbat the Inner surface of the bark was marked longitudinally with thin Wavy lines, very close set, of which the crests were about a quarter of an inch apart. He took several photo­ graphs of the ruined tree and be .re­ gards then! as most useful, since they sbow clearly the rending effect of lightning on s fibrous tissue. -- Youth and Happiness. After all, it is open to dispute whether or not people are happy when they are young. Only one boy in town can carry water for the ele­ phant; and he is oppressed by the thought that bis father will epring the "detrimental to morals" argu­ ment on him just before the big show opens. Perhaps, to dim It all, there Is more pleasure in seeming young when you know that you are not than In being so.

"Mummies wear wigs--I'm sure dont know why," said one of the curators of the Drexel Institute Mu­ seum to a Philadelphia Record re­ porter. He was standing beside the mum­ my of a young Egyptian girl, a high priest's daughter. "She wears a wig, he went op, /'though surely, .when she died, she must have had an abundance of hair of her own. "Her wig is in three tiers--three stages of black curls like sausages The first tier goes in a low. straight line, from ear to ear, across her fore­ head. The second one takes a par­ allel course, an Inch higher up; and the third makes a crown, or tiara, on the top of her head. "Beautiful hair was employed In the making of this wig--soft, lustrous stracds that have not been ravaged by the thousands of years that have passed. But it is not human hair; It seems to be some sort of a soft vegetable fibre, dyed. "I have seen, all in all, several hun­ dred mummies, and every one of them has worn a wig." 8enator Allison's Diplomacy. No member of Congress is so suc­ cessful In keeping his views out of the papers as Senator Allison of Iowa. His dexterity in this matter has earn­ ed for him the nickname "Pussy Foot." Some time ago he dictated to his sec­ retary a reply to a letter asking for his opinion on a certain matter. When he had concluded the Senator asked his secretary what he thought of the answer. "Well, senator," said the sec­ retary, "to be caqdid with you, I can't make out just what you do mean." "That's it, that's It," said the Senator approvingly. "I don't want him to know either."
