It is stated that practically nothing second grade cheese has been manufactured this year, and thac one factory which persistently produced first grade has this year been unable to get beyond second gr ade. In a few weeks the German law courts will be called upon to annul a noble marriage solemnised in London, last year, when Count Wolf Eckbrecht von Duerckheim-Mont-Cuirassier Guards, married Viscountess de Oivry, niece of the late Duke Paul’of Brunswick. The count met the viscountess in Berlin, and, despite the fact that she was nearly 25 year.*? his senior, , wooed and won her. Subsequently a lawsuit concerning the estate of Duke Paul was adjudged against the countess. It is alleged that the count immediately left his bride and joined another cuirassier regiment, to which in the meantime he had transferred. None •pf ins comrades or superiors knew of the marriage. One day the count asked for indefinite leave. Very . soon after bis wife appeared at the garrison and inquired of the . commander as.to her husband’s whereabouts. The astonished colonel could giv© no information, but the counters succeeded iu ascertaining that her- husband was living in Berlin. .He then disappeared, and his wife, wiio is now seeking the annulment, of the marriage, took .possession.of his apartments.

He had provided himself with all the necessary papers and passports for visiting most of the large centres in Russia. It was stated by Sir Edward Grey, in answer to questions in Parliament, that the Foreign Office is waiting for further information with regard to the case from the British Ambassador in St. Petersburg before taking up the question of compensa- ’ tion with the Russian Government.- ■ -i As for wit and " ‘ ; Humour good, * v . ; Bet a hit and ■ .
