within very few years the average per-

was such play as "Aristocracy." The
plot, like most of Mr.. Howurl's, is q very
small idea beautifully inflated. A west

There are several little love stories run
ming through "Aristocracy," which make
it fairly interesting, but the climax is very
slowly reached. The characters, with one
or two exceptions, are outrageously over
drawn, and as types are therefore worth
less. However, am told that Mr.. Howard
intended "Aristocrncy" to teach a lesson

titles, which too often serve as comely
cloaks for depravity, avarice and selfish

1t would seem rs If we had entered by
some occult manner the last century, and
one rubs ones eyes to make sure that there
has not been some magic by which we are
all living under the Emperor Napoleon in
stead of the year of 1892. But the modern
ideas that creep in with the ancient styles
adapt them to our day. There is one COM
fort about the new empire gowns, and that
is that with the addition of exaggerated
lapels and shortened waists old gowns can
be made new Nearly all of the skirts are
now fastened outside of the waist, and the
sash or belt, or whatever other garniture
there may be about the waist, hides the
joining place, and thus n corsage may be
shortened at will.
On recent reception day think out Of
hundred women present thore were ut
least fifty who had more or less OF the en-
plre about their gowns, and some that be-
long to style that must be prehistoric, as
it has certainly never before been seen on
land or sea. notice, though, some very
novel effects achieved by adopting differ
ent IDEAS to one costume. For instance,
there was a lady in n lovely Quaker drab
cloth, soft and fine. Around the bottom
were laid seven fiat bias plaits in varying
widths. The corsage was perfectly smooth
and without darts of side forms.
Around the neck were laid five more,
perfectly fiat and without wrinkle. The
sleeves were regular gigot, and there was
ruby velvet vest, with wide fur collar.
Two buttons covered with velvet held the
vest together. With this was worn II drab
felt hat, with two very stiff loops and n
fancy feather. Buttons are very frequent
ly covered with the material of the gar
ment, and are very large. The skirt has
the cornet plait in the back, which is now
much more popular than the fiat under
ploits.
Another very striking garment was a
black velvet coat that reached to the
ground, and cut in plain, graceful style
entirely without ornament. 1t was lined

1t is an old idea, which may be new
to some housekeepers, that to boil
cream the day before enhances the
richness of the coffee into which it is
poured. This is a specially valuable
warm-weather suggestion, when cream
has a knack of inopportune souring
IT boiled it surely keeps sweet, and is
moreover much better for the purpose
referred to.-N. Y. Times.
Breakfast Mullins: One egg, half a
pint of sweet milk, one tablespoonful
OF butter, one tablespoonful of sugar,
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder
sifted into the flour, flour enough to
make batter as stiff as cake, and
dust of salt This rule will make about
one dozen; bake in muffin rings or gem
irons; have the irons hot and well
ereased.-N. Y. Observer
Apple Charlotte: Pare and stem six
or eight large apples, press through a
colander and sweeten. Cover half
box OF gelatine with cold water and
put to soak for half an hour. Stir in
the apples, pour in tin pan and set on
ice, stir until the mixture begins to
thicken, then add pint of whipped
cream. Turn in a mold, and stand in a
cool place to harden.-Home.
Steamed Bread: To steam stale loaf
OF bread, or slices that have become
dry, put the loaf in the steamer and
arrange the slices around the outside,
leaving small spaces between each for
the steam to rise. Place over dinner
pot, half full of boiling water, which
the steamer fits over tightly. Let it
steam fifteen minutes. 1t is then ready
for the table, and is almost as fresh as
when first baked Home.
Bread Fritters: Delicate fritters
may be made from stale bread. If care
is taken to remove all dark brown
crusts the fritters will be light colored
and very inviting in appearance. Take
four eggs, one quart of sweet milk, a
saltspoon of salt, and four or five slices
of stale bread. Soak the bread in the
milk two hours. 1t can then be broken
into small bits and will not be lumpy.
Fry to delicate brown in boiling hot
lard, and serve with stewed or pre-
served fruit.-Home
Fowl and Turnip-Tops: Put we'll
cured fowl into pot of cold water, and
let it boil so thoroughly that the bone
may be slipped out with ease. Boil
gently for six hours; half-hour before
the time for serving it, throw in the
turnip-tops. Let them boil until done,
then place the fowl in the middle of a
fat meat dish, and garnish it with the

Tho negroes predominate in the police
court. They make the room as black as
black can be. If there were thousands
of crows perched upon the benches
they could make the room no blacker.
These negroes, if not interested in rel
atives and friends before the court, are
taking an idle interest in the proceed
ings The majority Of the prisoners
are black as the ace of spades, but
there are negroes of all grades, from
the Nubian to the freckled Albino.
There are mulattoes, quadroons, oc-
toroons, and the startling racial mix
lures of negroes with whites, and
mulattoes with octoroons; and COM
plexions indescribable either with pen
or brush are the result. When negro
families bring their rows before the
court it is growing more and more OBJ
servable that the whittier the women Of
the enfranchised race the blaclker the
men of their choice. This indicates
more plainly here than anywhere else
that the tendency of the African race is
downward rather than upward. In
making this statement I assume that
it is conceded that the Anglo-Saxon
race Is recognized in America, as
it is all over the world, as the
dominant race; race of robbers,
freebooters, plunderers, it is true, yet
the dominant race of the world; race
which first learns to worship Thor, the
god of battles and of plunder, and
afterward takes time to learn the
outlines of the religion of Nazareth and
Gethsemane, the religion of love.

Congress has recently passed law,
applicable only to this locality; a law,
and a rigid one, against carrying con.
cealed weapons. This legislation is di-
rected particularly against the most
deadly weapon of the negro criminal,
the razor. Nearly every one of the
lower class of negroes carries razor
in his bootleg or somewhere about his
person. The police captains and lieu
tenants tell me that this new statute
| will enable them to reduce the number
OF dangerous assault cases and at the
same time minimize the work Of the
judge in the police court. They are now
anxious for the enactment Of law
which will reduce the number ii drink
ing saloons, those fruitful sources OF
crime. SMITH D. Fry,
