Roquefort Cheese. t

thyme, and the cheese has a wild time j
trying to keep from stinking its-elf to I
death in its infancy. The wild thyme c
grows on the banks on the Lot, Tarn t
and other rivers in the department of \
1 Averyon in France, and after it has i
first been besheeped and then becheesed
it generates a lot of the t
darndest smells that ever perambu- s
lated down the pike. i
Thyme is a kind of aromatic plant ^
with a pungent odor, and after it is j
converted into Jtoquefort cheese it r
is the pungentest thing known to g
man. After this cheese is made it is t
put in solitary confinement until its
whiskers begin to turn gray and gangrene
sets in, when it is taken out and
1 chained to a post. Before it is serv- *
ed it is chloroformed or knocked in *
r
the head with an ax. It is then
brought to the table in little square 1
sections about the size of a domino. It
is served at the close of meals to- 1
gether with black coffee. It usually 1
has a running mate in the shape of a -1
round cracker that has to be broken ^
with a maul.
Roquefort cheese is a dull white 1
1 color, except in spots, where morti- 1
fication has set in. Some claim it to
' be inhabited, but this is not true. e
- Even the intrepid and mephitic mi- T
crobes flee from it as we flee from the *
1 pestilence. We have seen Limburger *
cheese strong enough to shoulder a *
1 sack of wheat, but a piece of Roque- a
' fort the size of a dice can carry an c
' election. Limburger is a rose gera- ,
1 nium when compared with Roque- 1
fort. There is as much difference e
between them as there is between the
- purr of a kitten and the roar of a
lion. Some people who claim to be *
: civilized say they like Roquefort
1 cheese, but they only eat it because
it is imported and expensive. A man 1
who will eat it is an open sepulchre, ;
and should be quarantined or driven
into the wilderness and never again

The relatives of Dr. Etheridge, i

lebtedness to the institution, which
t is understood, amounts to approxi

While the stockholders are liabl

Receiver Possible.
In the event that the compromiS'

Russian Censorship Over Wires Forbids
Any Use of Cypher.
The "Russkoe Slovo" give3 some
jr, interesting sid^ights on the complications
and general difficulties which
a new Russian postoffice order has
caused for, private individuals who
ie use the telegraph as a means of come
municating their thoughts and de[s
sires as rapidly as possible.
c_ The telegraph employees were rej.
cently ordered, says the London
(s Standard, to take special care in re;e
ceiving private messages that conw
tained any words or phrases that
11 might be of ambiguous meaning,
3_ and might be suspected to take the
2 plac? of a code.
i_ Such messages were to be refused,
n and in cases of doubt when anything
suspicious was found after reception
)r the offending dubious parts were to
be omitted from the message.
A- nftrrflcnnnHont of thp "'Riifislrrv*
3- XX Wil VUI/VUUVMV V* vmv ^ _
jf Slovo" saw a young woman, evidently
it of high degree, in angry altercation
1_ with the employee at the counter.
3. The fact was only too evident that
2. the two were flatly contradicting
e each other, and it was also plain that
g all the signs of the cross that were
>e made to attest the truth of her asi.
sertions were of no avail against the
skepticism of the official.
;e The correspondent was then let
1- into the secret of the dispute. There
LS lay on the counter an apparently
Le harmless note from the young woman
e to her husband. It finished with the
.0 rather conventional ending "10,000
X," which plainly meant nothing
g more than what the four or five-yearie
old boy commonly sends to his mothis
er before he has learned to write. r
But the official, possibly no great
ls enthusiast for such childish lyricism,
d held the message up and asked what
r was meant. '
> , r &
e> "Kisses!" said the young woman,
1_ wondering whether he were ignorant
ie or disbelieving.
n "But what do you mean by kisses?"
replied the official, who was by .
LS no means satisfied by the answer.
"The kiss of a wife, of course!"
e. said the woman.
Lv "But how are we to be sure?" asked
the man. 'It may mean bombs,
i_ or even forbiden books. We can not
ie accept cypher messages, and we must
id be quite certain that the senders of
is telegrams really mean what they
t. say."
[y And as the official was not at all
ie sure of the literal accuracy of the
ie "10,000 X" that part of the mess
age was ultimately suppress-d.
ur
id Negro Murders Wife.
P. . V_ .
id Greenwood, Jan. 12.?One of the
Id .most horrible murders ever commitit
ted anywhere in this section was that
Ld last night by a negro man, Levi
Kinard, who almost severed his wife's
e- head from her body after lying in
at wait for her for several hours in the
;n heart of the residence section of the
id town.
ie Kinard and his wife had separated
le some months ago, but he had been
making threats against her life for
e- some time.. She had heard of them
n> and was so terrified that she asked
iy her employers to let her sleep in the
kitchen. Last night, however, the woie
man went out upon the street in comy,
pany with another negro woman, and
y. as they were entering Cambridge \
to street, through an alley near the resils
dence of Mayor Baker, Kinard, wh^
had been crouching there probably
night after night, sprang out upon
them, grabbed his wife by the waist
and in an incredibly short time acr*
complished the murder. , ' ^
It seems from testimony that a big
3f knife was used, for apparently a
ie razor could not have done the hor?
nuie wujii.
