AN ELECTRIC BANQUET.

Brick oven.

All the Food Was Cooked By Electricity in a
Brick Oven.
A highly interesting event, marking an
other step in the application of electricity
to human needs. occurred recently in OF
tawa, Canada. It was nothing less than
an electrical banquet" in which every
dish on tue table was cooked by electricity
The affair took place a. the Windsor house,
and was participated in by the mayor OF
the city, several electrical notRbles, promi-
nent citizens. newspaper men and railroad
officials, says the Omaha World Herald.
The menu comprised a great variety of
dishes, and would have done no discredit
to Delmonico's. The whole bill of fare for
the banquet had been gotten up in the oven
at the electric car shed during the day, and
brought down to the hotel in a special car
After the repast the party was taken in an
electric car 10 the car sheds, where the
oven was inspected ana the whole process
explained.
A local paper gives the following descrip-
ton OF the COOKING apparatus: The oven
Is Of brick, about six feet wide, and some
what deeper, and about six feet high. In
the lower part of the oven are two Ahearn
heaters fed by wire from the ChaHdlere
Electric Light company, giving a power of
fifty volts.n

THE ONLY ANERIcAN ARIsrnnRAoI

American women are very beautiful and
charming. They know more and talk
better than any other women in the wor Id
except their sisters of France. This class
and that has been called The only American
aristocrscy. and there is truth underlying
the claim of each. The tramp is an aris-
tocrat because he is an idler The college
boy is an Erlstocrat because ne has much
leisure for sport. The army and navy
officers are aristocrats because they ara
the permanent representatives of the gov
ernment But, after all the woman Of
fashion is the finest and most charming
aristocrat in the country. II any one can
sit up late aud have plenty of
leisure TO sleep away the crowfeet of
fatigue. 1t is she, and yet even she has no
right TO tempt the fates after the manner
OF the British maid and matron. She has
more TO do. The demands Of our complex
society upon the women OF the country are
greater and more exacting than those made
upon the feminine members of a monarch
ical aristocracy. The American woman of
fashion Is usually pretty nearly tired
enough when she begins to dress for din
ner. Besides, with all due respect to our
cousins on the other side of the water we
40 not care 10 have her exactly like the
English woman.-Hdrper's Meekiy

an unknown gentleman who had some

had just found on S Hudson river boat

with an Albany address, he had no difficulty
