Once. when in Paris Napoleon paid visit

Ddarnosed solved the mystery OF
the fearsome odor OF
Limburger cheese. He had party of
newspaper men at his place the other night,
when one of them, who was eating some Of
the famous cheese, asked Billy why 1t
smelled SO terribly. "Well, you see, that
cheese is the healthiest there is. You take
any other kind of cheese and it is full Of
shippers and microbes and things that are
alive. But the Limburger, that is all right.
1t does smell, it is true; but, for all that,
it has nothing alive in it. Everything in
that cheese is dead" Billy's opinion is
probably true, and may or may not explain
the odor.
