The use of cheese its a food deem back to very rernote ages. Cheese fie reformat an ie the Book el Yea sea lastly ate boo:se• 44 Sarner4 goft of diet in the curly days of the Ave - lab. kitigdorn, says Dr, O. S. Red- mon,c1, Until comparatively rent years it has been used by the well-to-do only as a savory a the end of n ample meal, and by the lield labor- ers in many of the agricultural dis- tricts as the basis of their midday dinner. But within the last twenty - live years it lues been ecientifically demonstrated as a, cheap and nutri- tioas substitute for. meat. Now an economic food may be de- fined as one which yields the high- est percentage of proteld er nitro- genous constituents at the lowest; price, and for the purpose, a tits article it is proposed to compare the relative claims of beef, the anose generally used animal source, of proteid, and of cheese, perhaps the least so. Comparing the relative economic value of beef and cheese, Mathew Williams ("Chemistry of • Cook- ery") maintains that 1 pound of average cheese contains as much nutriment as 3 pounds of an ox or a sheep as prepared for sale by the butcher, or, in other words, a cheese weighing 20 pounds supplies as much nutriment as a sheep of 60 pounds, as ib hangs in the butcher's shop Estimated by the calory, or heat standard, i.e., the amount of heat required to raise 1 pound of waiter 4 degrees, Fahrenheit, the fuel value of •cheese is 1.303, compared with that of beef '.623, or rather more than double. Beef, therefore, is a dear food, cheese a cheap one. Beef is also a wasteful food—the non -edible por- tions—bone, cartilage, sinew and connective tissue. This is termed unavoidable 'waste, and in ordinary cuts of meat is estimated at about 15 per cent. There is also waste in cookiug, especially roasting, but the percentage is difficult to esti- mate, and consists largely of water. Cheese, on the other honcl, is Probably the only article of food in which there is practecally no waste, except the thin outside eind, about 1 per cent. Again, ehoom is a "purin free" eood, while beef is the reverse. (Purine are certain nitro- genous bodies which go to produce in tho system uric acid, the baneful factor in the causation of gout and rheumatism). Notwithstanding its high nutritive value, it is a curious fact that cheese does nob take the high place that it merits as the chief factor in the princiapl daily meal of our workers. The rich designate it as vulgar be- cause it is cheap; the poor "mkt shoulder'' it because our education- al authorities have hitherto ne- glected their manifest duty to teach all children domestic economy and the food value and relative met of all foocl stuffs, as is so thoroughly done in Germany. Yet in Switzerland cheese is the national dish of the handy moun- taineers, as the well-known "fon- du," is the most toothsome and sat- isfying meal that a healthy man can desire. Some people say that, though they like chees,e, yet they can not eat it because it gives them incligestien. While this may no doubt b.e true in some eases, yeb for the most part such should blame themselves, and not the cheeae, be- cause they do not suffitiently mas- ticate it, and so allow it to pass into the stomach in little lumps which the gastric juice is unable to pene- trate and dissolepealne, casein. CAT G7-UARDED BODY. Flew at an Intruder Front Shoul- der of the Corpse. An astonishing tale of a cob's fidelity and sorrow—since cats are supposed to be less devoted to peo- ple than dogs—was told at a Choi - ma (England) in:quest. The inquest was Wel on the body of Sarah Ann Turnroe, aged seven- ty, the widow of an artist, of Ger- trude Street, Chelsea, who was found dead in 'bed with the cat on her sheulder. lefts. Turnroe aps petered to be asleep, and when a boy touched her the cat flew at him. Reared from kitteehood by Mrs, Turnroe, the oat—by name Minnie —had been her closest companion for fifteen years. By her hist vigil Minnie showed that cats can be as faithful and loving as dogs. But the death of her mistress proved the death of tho me. The cat foe clays was inconsolable, and had to be drowned as the most humane way to end its grief. At the inquest Mrs. Griffiths, at whose house Mrs. Turnroe lived, stated that when her little boy took Mrs. Turnree an early morning cup of ton the cat was sitting on her shoulder. Seeing the, boy, Minnie was rowed to such an extraordi- nary fury in its attempts to pro - vent his approach to her deadenis- trees that she flow at the boy, knocking the teocepout of his hand.

Matt. 11. 249, Golden Text, Luke 7. 28. Verso 2, Verse 1, which is not a pare a our lesson pa,esage, reads, "And it cerise to pass when Josue had finished eomanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.", Following the best harmonies of the Gospels we must insert atthis poinu in the narrative the incidents of the healing of tho centurion's servant and the raising of the widow's can at Nain (Luke 7. 1-17). Both inci- dents belong to the preaching tour referred to in the verse just quetecl.

A remarkable story of the fatal effects of taking muff that has been packed in "tinsfoil" was reported a few days ago to one of the leading Swiss medical journals by Dr, E. Stadler. A woman, 33 years of age, saw him in May, 1910, who showed many aymptores of lead poisoning. After various relapses she died at tho and of last Never:alien It was only after her death that the doc- tor discovered the habit that had led to her death. She had undoubt- edly died of lead poisoning; every symptom was there, and the post- mortem confirmed the doctor's sus- picious. Afterwards it was discovered that the woman had during the post few years been a great snuff -taken Her habit was to buy the snuff in peck- ets enclosed in tin -foil. Alter open - lag a packet,eho would have a pitch or two, squeeze it up, and put it in her pocket, then feel for it every now and then and again take ae- other pinch. The tin -foil evidently got mixed up with the snuff, of which she took about ten grams daily. Analyses of similar packets have now been made, and have shown that the moist alkaline snuff has a chemical action on the foil. The foil contained 89.9 per cent. of lead, and the snuff contained on an aver- age 3%. per cent, of lead, Sha must, therefore, have taken into her nostrils 175 milligrammes of lead daily. Ont of this it was only necessary for her to absorb eight or ten milligrammes te• have produced all the symptoms observed. Splendid Barn and Stables at the Provincial Prison Farm at Guelph. W.Magrd.

The faithful who attend the Church of Sant Andrea della. Valle, in the Corse Vittoria, Emmanuele, Rome, are snitch concerned over a gross ant of Sacrilege. A famous statue, known as the Bambino di San Gaetana, luts been despoiled by conscienceless marauders of all the jewels which had been Dissented isa it by grateful devotees. Miracu- lous virtue wa,s attributed to the "bambino," Many people whose devout prayers murmured before the holy image had received the desired answer, testified their gra- titude for the spiritual or temporal blessing received by presenting gifts to adorn the statue. The full value of these donations is mob amairately known, but it is estimated to be between 94,000 and 95,000. An ineoen,plete list of the jewels with which th,e statue was adorned is given by the "Messag- gem " and comprises a crown oe gold set with brilliants and rubies, pearl nockloce, gold star set vvith large diamonds, gold belt with em- erald clasp, gold snake -aliened clasp with turquoises, twelve gold bracelets sot with precious stones, five °hakes of pure gold with many gold medallions, twenty geld lingo set with pearls, diamonde, and other josvels.

'8 SECOND CITY IN THE EMPIRE Parliamentary Committee Admits Glasgow's Claim. Glasgow is proud in the fact that she is now really "the second city in the Empire," with a population of over a million. But it has cost her eighteen days' hard fighting in the committee rooms of the British House of Commons, and an expen- diture of 9250,000 on lawyers and witnesses. It has been achieved by extend- ing the boundaries so aa to absorb eote,c1, and the process is something more than the mere daubing of a preservative over the timber. Cre- osote is really a heavy oil distilled from conl-tar, The wood to be sub- jected to the preservative is first seaeoned in the ordinary way. It is then placed in an enormous air- tight steel drum, The air from this drum is extracted, m that a vacu- um is sweated, and the creosote is then pumped into the chamber at groat heab and preasure.
