Cheese, which Has beam the fortune u
Roquefort, has destroyed IL pieturesque-
ness. i has brought spectators thers
who have raised great ugly, square build
inRs Of dazzling Whiteness In harsh con-
trAst with the character and som bro tone
Of the old houses. Although tia place II
20 small that It consists Of only ono street
and . few alleys, the more ancient DWELL
ings are remarkable for their height. Il
i suIpHising to zee in . village lost among
the sterile hills houses thres stories high
The fact that there II only . ledge on
which TO build mast be the explanation.
What 10 most curious in the place - the
cellars. Before the cheese became an inn
portant article of commerce these were
natural caverns, such as are everywhere
to be found in this calcareous formation;
but now they are really cellars that have
been excavated to such depth in the
rock that they are to be seen in as many
as five stages, where long rows of cheeses
are stacked one over the other. The virtue
of these cellars from the cheese making
point OF view is their dryness and their
rcarcely varying temperature of about
eight degrees centigrade summer and
winter.
But the demand for Roquefort cheese
has become SO great that trickery now
plays part in the ripening process. The
peasants have learned that slime is
money" and they have found that bread
crumbs mixed with the curd cause those
green streaks of mouldiness, when de-
note that the cheese is fit for the market,
20 appear much more readily than was
formerly the case, when it was left to do
the best IT could for itself with the aid
of subterraneane atmosphere This Is
not exactly cheating; it is commercial
enterpr Use, the result Of competition and
other circumstances too strong for poor
human nature. In cheese making, bread
crumbs are found to be cheap substitute
for time; snd it is said that those who
have taken to beer brewing in this region
have found that box, which here is the
commonest OF shrubs, IL cheap substi-
tnte for hops. The notion that brass

AN ORDINARY PLAY.

The play given by Titles World
Company in the Martin Street Opera
House last night was an ordinary one,
A large audience witnessed it and ex-
pressed themselves as having only fair
iy enjoyed the performance. The best
features were acts two and three, show
ing deck Of ocean steamer, with its
Grey and passengers, the coming
storm, wrecking Of the ship, and the
castaways on the verge Of starvation
and insanity. It was however much
superior to theatrical troups that have
given exhibitions here.

We do not want the public to con-
found the Blair Institute, for the cure

habits, located at this place under the
management and personal direction Of
that eminent physician, Mr.. Matthew
A. Blair, with the numerous so-called
z Gold Cure" institutes which at pres
emit abound throughout the country.
The Blair Institute does not use the
same treatment given by Kelley. It
kills no one, neither does it produce
insanity. We guarantee that our treat
ment is harmless, leaves no bad effects
and is equally efficient, il not superior,
to the Double Chloride Of Gold treat
ment whatever that is) Of Kelley fame.
DR.. Blair is q physician Of ripe ex-
.perience hecompounds his own medi-
cines at the institute. He knows what
his patients are taking, and has moth

"quacks in various Gold Cure estab-
lishments, who daily violate medical
ethics, by drenching patients with nos

which they have no knowledge-except

cure in every case with absolutely
harmless results. For full information
