CHEESE DENOTES THEIR RANK
Swiss Family Found Without Aged
Variety Of DeIleacy ls
Scorned.

Lucerne.-The English, the Ger.
mans, and the N~orwegians are great
consumers Of cheese, but the people
Of Switzerland surpass them all. The
cheese o. Zermatt is so hard that one
is obliged to scrape It or cut on chunks.
with a Ratchet, and it's use is con-
sidered most important on all cere-
monious occasions. The rank OF a
Swiss family is known by the age OF
It's cheese. and the more affection or
respect a guest inspires the harder IS
the cheese which Is cut In his honor.
1t is said that there are families IN
Switzerland whose cheeses date from
the first French revolution, and these
are served only at baptisms. weddings
and after funerals.
The larder ia every FAMILY is guard
ed with care and the cheese IS named.
Upon the birth Of a new heir a cheese
is made that takes the name given
him or her, and that particular cheese
IS never under any circumstances cut
until the boy or girl grows up and IS
married. On such occasions each OF
the guests takes a piece Of cheese
from the bridegroom and from the
bride and drinks to their felicity the
cheese held aloft-Harper's Weekly.

STOMACH FULL OF TAcKs

Abraham Leconey. a shoemaker at
Delanco. N. j.. was taken to a Phila-
delphia hospital the other day for a
"tacklifting' operation upon which
physicians are relying to save his life.
For nearly a year Leconey has been
suffering from stomach ache. All the
home remedies failed to relieve him,
and the puzzled doctors proposed an
X-ray examination The spotlight re-
vealed about 100 brass tacks sticking
in the walls Of the ~shoemaker's stom-
aoh. He admitted that for several
years he had used his mouth for a
temporary tack box while at work at
his bench, as shoemakers do, and
said he remembered swallowing a
good many during the last ten years,
Surgeons say one section of Leconey's
stomach has more tacks in It than the
sole Of a boot.

letters that are addressed to any sin

William of Germany comes next with
an average Of 1900 letters a day. Then
comes the president Of the United
States with an average Of 5000 let

day, about one-third the number re-
ceived by his father. The mail Of the
