How Noblenen Are Made.

When King Gustavus III. was in Paris
he was visited by a deputation of the
Sorbonne. That learned body congrat-
nlated the King on the happy fortune
which had given him SO great a man as
Scheele. the discoverer of magnesium.
as his subject and fellow-countryman.
The King, who took small interest in
the progress of scieuce. felt somewhat
ashamed that he should be so ignorant
as never even to have heard of the re-
nowned chemist. He dispatched q
courier at once to Sweden, with the
.aconic order: "Scheele is to be imme-
distely raised to the dignity of a Count
His Majesty must be obeyed," said
the Prime Minister, as he read the order,
"but who in the world is Scheele?" A
Secretary was told to make inquiries.
He came back to the Premier with very
full information. "Schee'e is n good
sort of fellow" said he. ga Lieutenant
in the artillery, a capital shot. and
first rate hand at billiards" The next
day the Lieutenant became a Count.
and the illustrious scholar and scientist
remained simple burgher. The error
was not. discovered until the King re-
turned home. His Majesty was indig-
nant. "You mus. all be FOOLS" he ex.
claimed, mot to know who Scheele isn'

A Colossal Passenger Station.

Every portion of the civilized world
must now acknowledge that the station
of the London & Southwestern Rail-
way fcalled Waterloo Station") is the
colossus of stations. 1t was to-day de-
clared complete. having for long time
been at one end under the hands of ma
sons and carpenters. Imagine twenty
five acres reofed in. and the building
covering this area containing fifteen
platforms and nineteen distinct lines OF
rails. making an aggregate length OF
four miles! imagine, also. signal
box containing $50 levers! During
the building, extending over very
many years, of this enormous sta
ton, 800 houses have been demolished.
and a population of 5000 displaced.
The cost, however. from the first open
ing to yesterday. has been only mil
lion and three quarters dollars. 1t is
over this railway. with its thirty spur
lines. the traveller reaches England 5
southern and southwestern counties,
containing Portsmouth, Southampton.
Isle of Wight. etc. and by railway
steamers Havre and the Channel islands.
There is no minute through the day that
some train does not depart or arrive Al
this station.-London Letter.

After this trip he leased tho Standard

'What do you consider tho most

1t Is . pretty difficulty matter to
judge among themany excellent brands
that como from that country. But il
demand IS criterion to 60 by, should
say that the Frontage de Brie is the
most popular. know that in France
it leads all other brands in popularity.

and DE Brie cheese, and in Paris.
among the bourgeoisie, this simple
diet Is also extremely popular"
Are German cheeses popular in
France?''
AT one time they were. But since
the war the French people have al
lowed their prejudice to control their
tastes. They consider it patriotic to
ignore German cheese, rs well as
everything else that belongs to that
country"
.Of course you import great deal
of German cheese?" said the reporter.
Eyes. indeed. can safely say that
Germany sends more cheese to America
than any other country in Europe. The
Germans are great lovers of cheese.
and quite naturally they are partial to
those brands that come from fader-
land. There are great many of them
in America. and, of course. it takes
considerable to supply them"
What brand is the most popular
with them"
Il should say Schwe.tzer-kase. That
brand is generally kept in all the Ger
sively in making sandwiches, relishes,
ETC."
..Are the German cheeses more pop
ular with the American people than
the French cheesesa"
II am inclined to think not We
ship more French cheeses to the East
ern States. where the people are sup
posed to be distinctiyely American.
than we do of the German. This is
the only means | have of judging. But
in our shipments to the West. where
the people are more cosmopolitan. the
German cheeses lead the French.
There are . great many Germans in
the West, you know"
..Are any of the popular continental
brands of cheese successfully initiated
in this country?"
..Yes, several; the Swiss cheese pro-
duced in this country almost equals
the genuine article. The chief merit
of the real Swiss cheese is derived from
the fact that the milk from which it il
made is richer and better in quality.
The country is Wild and mountainous.
and the goats are harder than those OF
this country. Still in certain sections
OF the United States, notably in Yer

laugh at it, but it has never been known
to fail in single instance. even in
