AN EMPRESS INCOGNITO.
Dismal Account of the Beautiful Eliza
beth of Austria


Old-fashloned royalsts are shocked al
the Tin de steele incognito of the Empress
Elizabeth. Mrs. Nicholson was very bad,
but Miss Simpson" was too awful. The
Empress will was that everyone should let
her be. No exception was made for Count
and Countess Hoyos, who rushed back from
England to pay her their duty. Her let
me-be determination was shown in orders
to concierge, clerk, lift man and walters
at Meurice's. Her imperial majesty meant
to be simple Mrs. Nicholson and not to be
pestered with officiousness. No visitor
was to be allowed to her rooms, which
were those occupied during a course Of
nearly thirty years by Mr. T. B. Potter
and his late wife when they came to
Paris.
Empress Elizabeth was ''Iet be" when
she wanted to go out alone. She prefer
red calling cabs In the street to going
about in a hotel carriage. A friend OF
mine who was On the same floor went
down with her In the lift, and thus de-
scribed her. The figure, having stifen-
ed, had lost the f.xibIe elegance which
was so admired at the Melton Mowbrey

TRAITS OF TEXANS.
They're a Cav and Hilarious People Benz
on Having Fun.

Texas, settled as it is with emigrants
from every part of the union and of Eu-
rope, presents such a variety of character
among the people that it will be hard to
say what is their most prominent trait
The personal characteristics which used to
distinguish them are changing. In early
times their lives as pioneers were so hard
and fraught with danger that it made
ing to a writer in Harper's Magazine, they
have become decidedly gay people, pleas
ure-loving and pleasure-seeklng. Former
ly rigid painness and severity marked
their lives and surroundings. At this day,
in the counties remote from the centers of
population, their tastes have become more
refnements of life. which is but the natur-
al effect Of the superior facilities of educa-
ton which distinguish the state. Yet
with the simplicity has disappeared much
Of the hospitality of the olden time; the
warm welcome grows rarer each day, and
the entertainment of guests is more mat
ter of calculation OF distant social obliga-
ton than spontaneous out-pourlng OF
hospitable hearts,
Yet away off in the frontier are still
found, Lere and there, specimens of those
strong, brave, early settlers who lied lit
orally with their lives in their hands, es-
tablishing themselves far beyond the out
posts OF civilization. not knowing at what
time the red men might raid upon them
and lay their homes In ashes. Sturdy
houses those, stockades jhey might better
be called. built of heavy logs. with thatch-
ed or sodded roofs, houses that are forts as
well as homes. And there is found rare
hospitality which asks no questions, but
entertains the wayfarer, giving him all
that he requires and that their store af-
lords without money and without price. :"

Bome-Made Caramels.

Our candy was to be sold for cent a
stick, but the sticks were not scanty little
ships by any means Mrs Cart wright
made us a present of the molasses, Lois
brought the sugar from home, Al Fay
brought the saleratus, Patty remembered
about the vinegar, and Marjorie produced
the butter.
These were the ingredients: A half-gal-
lon of New Orleans molasses, a cup of
vinegar, d piece of butter as large as two
eggs, good teaspoonful of salerat'>s dis
solved IN hot water.
We melted the sugar in the vinegar,
stirred it into the molasses, and let it come
to the boil, stirring steadily. The boys
took turns at this work.
When the syrup began to thicken we
dropped in the saleratus, which makes it
clear; then Touring our hands, each took a
position, and pulled it till it was white.
The longer we pulled, the whittier it
grew. We ate some of it, but we girls
were quite firm in saving half for our
sale.
Then we made maple-sugar caramels.
Have you ever tried them? They are
splendid. You must have maple sugar to
begin with real sugar from the trees in
Vermont if you can yet it. You will need
deep saucepan. Then into quart of
fresh sweet milk break two pounds of
sugar. Set it over the fire. As the sugar
melts it will expand. Boil, boil, BOIL
stir, stir, stir. Never mind if your face
grows hot. One cannot made candy sit
ting in a rocking chair with fan. One
doesn't calculate to, as Great-aunt Jessa-
mine a ways says.
The way to test it when you think il is
done is to drop PORTION in cold water If
brittle enough to break, it is done. Pour
into square buttered pans, and mark it
off while soft into little squares with a
knife.
Some people like cream candy. 1t is
made In this way; three large cupfuls Of
loaf-sugar, six tablespoonful of water
Boil, without stirring, in bright tin pan
until it will crisp in water like molasses
ndy. Flavor it with essence of lemon or
vanilla; just before it is done, add one
teaspoonful Of cream of tartar. Powder
your hands with flower, and pull it until it
Is perfectly white.
PLAIN CARAMELs.-One pound of brown
sugar, quarter Of a pound of chocolate,
one pint of cream. one teaspoonful of
hutter. two tablespoonful of molasses.
Boil for thirty minutes, stirring all the
time; test by dropping into cold water.
Flavor with vanilla. and mark off as you
do the maple carmels.
Homemade candy is sure to be of good
materials, and will seldom be harmful I'M
less the eater takes &, great quantity Then
the pleasure of making it counts for some
thing-From Mothers Way by Mar
garet E. Sangster, in Harper's Young

A SHOCK To MANS FAITH.
How the Unusual Everywhere Usurps the
Place of the Real
New York Times


Hitherto it has been supposed that the
curls of long braids of very Young speci
mems of womanhood might be admired
with safety as belonging 10 their posses
ors by right of growth and rot OF pur-
chase. A little incident which occurred
at the jubilee of Patrick Sarsfeld Gil
more at Manhattan leach, very recently,
would indicate, however, that there are
grounds for suspicion as to the hair OF
womankind of all ages from the cradle
to the grave. In one corner of the mu-
sic anpitheater at Manhattan beach a
child too young TO talk was taking the
atten ion of the audience in its immedi-
ate vicinity from Patrick Sarsfeld and
his musicians. The child-so several
women said and the men evidently thought
was too lovely for anything" Her
chief beauty was the golden ringlets that
peeped from under her hat and made a
regular halo around the chubby face. Baby
had climbed by the aid of the seat back, to
a standing position, and was cooling low
in9ly at an old gentleman behind her The
old gentleman pulled one of the golden
ringlets. With quick movement the
little on drew her hat off and held it out
to him. All the beautiful ringlets went
with the hat. They were sewed around
the edge of the inside. The lovely child
stood there an ordinary looking baby with
thin and straggly locks of different hue
from the golden curls.

Uncle Sans Cruisers Among British Iron
clads.

Almost like yachts they look, compared
with some of their huge neighbOrs, for
some of Great Britain's strongest and most
terrible sea-mOnsters are gathered in the
harbor, lying on the waters as if in slum-
Der, quiet and tranquil enough now. but
ready to awaken at their MISTRESS bid
ding, and to vomit forth death and de-
yastation from their steel-clad sides.
Close to our ship is the Arson; on the
other side the huge Benbow, with massive
black hull and white, fortress-like super
structure, points her enormous guns over
the tops of the turret-like barbettes on
her decks, fore and aft. while from the
ports in her sides the cannons of her bat
teries peer menacingly outward. A fringe
of davits, from which here and there a
boat is hanging, runs on both sides of her
upper-deck, and her tall military mast,
the tops bristlings with machine guns,
tapers aloft amidships.
The Arson flies the flag of the rear adj
miral; on her quarterback scarlet coated,
white helmeted marines are drawn up and
the band is playing; alongside of her
some boats are lying. Farther out In the

MITRI's DEATH.


MITRI's DEATH.
The next night the dogs barlzed so loudly
the Yakoutes persuaded the fnpitivas that
Tchouktchis must be in the vicinity. Yesyol
and M. Lafleur watched with loaded weap
ons within reach. At last, Yegor grew i'm
patient and went into the open air.
Altar off he heard a strange noise. What
could this noise meanl
Suddenly, vague, white light spread over
the sky, like milky way which had over
flowed its limits. Surrounding objects took
shape and became visible as if in splendid
moonlight. The ice-felds sparkled in the
distance like fused silver.
Soon, however, blaze of fire broke forth
at the horizon, constantly increasing and
shooting out sheaves of fame, fuses and
long fiery swords which seemed to pierce
the sky and make it run with blood Drops
of red light fell like drops of gore; and as
nothing is more shifting, more changeable,
than the phenomenon of the aurora borealis.
green tints speedily succeeded the red hues
One might have thought that an immense
Bengal light was Illuminating the horizon.
Then it was like rainbow which had form
ed itself in the middle of the night, rain
bow resembling marvellous mosaic of Jew
els, diamonds, rubies, amethysts. sapphires,
and topaz stones.
By the brightness of these shifting and
capricious displays of light which filed the
|; sky, Yegor perceived sledge drawn by
several pairs of reindeer which was making
its way over the sea, quite level at tina.

ready eXtinguished, would surely be extin-

gre t obligations towards you. But you can
neither hate nor love"
Il obey more elevated dictates"
"Here, take your weapons again, Yer
mac" said Yegor, Whatever you may say,
I now no longer fear anything from you.
Take back your gun, or. rather, leave me
yours and take mine. I owe you that" add
ed he, casting a compassionate look on poor
Dinlitri, whose soul seemed about to take its
flight.
From that moment, NJ. Lafleur was forced
to transform himself altogether into nurse.
1t was not easy to care for Yermac's son.
The ball had penetrated deeply, and the
Partisan possessed none of the resources of
a surgeon.
Hence the state of the unhappy young
man grew worse with extreme rapidity
There was no hope for him.
A few days later-at the nocturnal hour
when Dimitr had arrived at the camp Of
the fugitives-three men, the two Yalzoutes
and the Tunguse, lighted a fire upon the
shore of the sea to dig grave When the
fire had sunk in the snow to the level Of
the soil, the three men dug up the earth
