Souiiies are very dainty and appetiz-

sides, which must be thoroughly but

must be left for the rising, and a band
of creased paper pinned around the ton
to support the souffle as it rises. After
the pan has been placed in the oven
it must not be disturbed, or It will
fall.

A TRUE ARISTOCRAT.
Applies to Followers of the Great Teacher
of Man.-Doing Good to Others.

ministrations were the everyday acts
Of Christ, and this sincere, earnest
man simply and naturally exemplified
his Christianity by following his Mas
ter's example.
The word aristocracy is derived from
the Greek, meaning 'the rule OF the
best" Custom has perverted the noble
word to mean the rule Of the high
born. The true arlstocrat is he who, in
devotion to the worlds great Teacher,
gives himself in beneficent, untiring
service to his fellow-men. His is the
peerage of the soul. the supreme nobil-
ity that defles the mutations of time
and finds It's glory in allegiance to tho
King Of kings and Lord of lords"

II there was one profession which
seemed safe. from the encroachments
Of women it Was that Of the human
sandwich, the paripatetic ADVERTISE
ment that goes gWay.ng through the
streets during the busy hours OF the
day. But the blow has fallen. The
sandwich man has a feminine rival,
and as he plods through the crowd you
can see despair written on his fur
rowed counteuance, says the New York
Herald.
While Broadway and Twenty-third
street were thronged with busy shop
pers the other day the advance guard
OF the newest walking signs appeared.
There were six comely young women,
who moved slowly and sedately along
the pavement, clad In a costume that
drew all eyes. Their skirts were OF a
plaid-a plaid LAT shouted-and VOL
luminous capes reached from shoulder
to waist. On their heads were shapes
OF cavernous depth, which might be
described as poke or shaker bonnets.
AS these strange figures passed men
with bundles and women with babies
paused, open-mouthed, to regard them,
and to read the words embazoned on
their garments. Around the bonnets
and on the flowing capes were written
the praises of a new headache cure
1t was impossible to say how the young
women enjoyed their vocation, The
bonnets were deep and narrow and
their faces were hidden in shadow.
But their walk was demure and they
paid no attention to tho excitement
they were creating.

"There will be no more Indians per-

cannot secure the consent of the In
dian bureau for their exhibition. save
it be along the lines showing the prog

laughing among themselves. A dozen
others were grouped in the wings Of
the stage near the foot of the stairs
descending from the dressing room.
The girls in the dressing room had
nearly completed their costumes when
one Of them brushed against the gas
Jet. A touch of the flame was suf-
dcient. and in an instant her dress of
cotton was in a blaze. She screamed
and ran out Of the room. communlcat-
ing the blaze as she ran. One Of the
girls jumped out of small window
into the stairs leading to the stage and
down the stairs. A flaming torch she
was as she almost fell down the stairs
and rushed into the groups of children
standing in the wings. They were all
clad like her. in fancy costumes Of
cotton, lace and silk, and the fire
spread with incredible rapidity from
one to the other. There were fourteen
children in the cast of the Christmas
entertainment and only a few escaped.
It was all over in ten minutes. and in
that time four had perished. seven
