Victor Hugo's Double.


Victor Hugo had a real double in
flesh and blood, who exploited his
physical resemblance to the man Of
genius. He cut his beard like Hugos,
copied the masters dress in its small
est details and so for eighteen years
divided with the master the admira-
ton of the public. His especial de-
light was to pose in poetical attitude
in front of Punch and Judy show
He did this at particular spot every
Thursday afternoon for years, thor
oughly enjoying the murmurs of curl
osity and applause proceeding from
the gaping crowd which he deceived.
We 90 not hear that he reaped any
other reward but his pleasure.

Religious Grafters.

IL is unfortunate, but nevertheless
true, that in all the ages since Chris.
tianity became an organized religion
people have been often imposed unon

tianity.
In Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria and
Russia, while the masses of the peonIe
are STEPPED in poverty, the church is
rich and fourishing. Their vast prom.
cries are exempt from taxation and
the people have to bear the burdens.
IN this country the case is not nearly
SO bad, although Trinity church in
New York city is a vastly wealthy cor.
poration that has millions of dollars
worth of property on which it paws no
taxes.
There is no easier way to impose on
the generous than to appeal to their
religious sentiment, and there are
good many who are entirely willing TO
work graft in the name of religion

Twenty Per Cent Cut in Prices.


Talking about system as an econom-
ical force, here is a California grocer
who has figured out system of doing
business that should be winner that
is, If he can find line of customers
that are as systematic as himself, and
to whom mathematics appeal Under
his system he claims to reduce the
cost of living 20 per cent, and at the
same time makes more money for
himself than heretofore on the same
volume of trade. He estimated that
his expense for delivery, bookkeeping,
collecting, etc, incidental to a credit
business was $4,000 annually. and
these he has eliminated entirely. The
customer who wishes to carry a run
ming account must make a cash de-
post. For this he is allowed 4 per cent
on daily balances.
The free delivery is abolished, and
instead charge of per cent is made
for delivering, which, as the customer
formerly paid 20 per cent, is a saving.
On the day that this system went into
erect the grocer cut the prices of all
goods in the store 20 per cent, and he
claims to find that the plan works
well, barring the occasional customer

A GAsTRONoMIC JOY.
Old English Recipe For the Famous
Soupe a la Crecy.


Soups la Crecy.
In the illustrated London Cookery
Book" by Frederick Bishop, late cut
siner to st. James palace, Earl Grey,
the Marquis of Stafford, Baron Roth
schild, Earl Norbury, Captain Dun
combe and many of the first families
Of Great Britain QS52), we find this
recipe for soupe a Ia Crecy:
Cut half a pound of lean ham in
dice, three onions, four turnips, twelve
carrots (the outer side red only, head
of celery. fagot of sweet herbs, two
blades of mace. six cloves, bay leaf
and half n pound of salt butter. Fry
all down in stewpan until they get a
little brown, then add some second
stock and stew until all the roots are
quite tender; then rub it through Il
fanny sieve or fanny cloth with two
long spoons. If very thick add more
stock Season with cayenne and black
pepper and salt and good bit of sug
ar. Send up on napkin some nice
fried bread cut in small dice and not
greasy"
This is far less elaborate than il
sounds and is, indeed, in the main the
recognized recipe for the royal soup.
The spice is. if anything, trife over
done, and the carrots want to be well
chosen, as the slightest stringiness de-
stroys the homogeneity Of the COM
pound The bread dice are important
and should be fried in the very best
butter or superlatively good olive OIL

CHAPTER II.

Arthur thought to himself that they
were an uncommonly good-looking
family, and he wondered how far
sixty pounds year would go to re-
place the shabby, black cashmere
gowns that Janet and Tola wore.
Reginald was so disguised at their
all having come that he walked off
to the upper end of the platform and
tried to look as If they did not belong
to him. He did not think them good
looking at all; on the contrary, he
thought the children hideous, and as

boy!

said his father.

said Tommy; and when the train
moved off, he flung an old slipper
after 1t for luck.
Janet slipped away and joined
Reggie.
"Oh. Reggie, . she said, Il wish it
had been you"
THANK you for nothing, my dear!
am thankful it isn't"
But, after all, perhaps, If Uncle
Alfred had only persevered little, he
would have seen what pity it was;
so much talent!"
4Gammon! sai6 Reggie, who, with
all his faults, was too much of an
Englishman to stand flattery. Good
gracious, Janet! there is Colonel Cur
tbs, and you are such guy. Do, for
goodness sake, efface yourself among
the rabble."
Janet drew up her naughty little
head
"If he cares about my dress
she said.
Dress by hanged" said Reggie
sharply. SAT least you should look
like lady"
Colonel Curtis was advancing to-
ward them. Janet meant to stand
her ground, but her brothers words
brought the tears rushing into her
eyes, and she was Obliged to retreat
quickly. and take refuge among the
children.
Colonel Curtis eyed the retreating
eleven wistfully, but it was more than
he could do to join them. That
would have been too formidable.
Reggie was advancing upon him with
a cordial smile. but he was too much
disappointed to wish to talk to that
vapid youth, so he only nodded to
him and went on, and Reggie walked
home by roundabout route to avoid
the cayalcade
Arthur arrived in Liverpool about
Z O'Clock. He was full of interest and
curiosity about his new home, and his
mind was too much occupied with the
hopes and fears which chased each
other therein, to have room for shy

him forcibly between this solid. hand

with useful and interesting books,

home. The contrast between the two
brothers was. much the same. The

PANCAKES.

The batter for pancakes is improv-

is wanted. 1t may with advantage be
made the night before.
To each egg allow tablespoonful
of flour, pinch of salt, one heaping
teaspoonful Of sugar, and one gill Of
milk
: Break the eggs into basin; add
the salt and sugar to them, the -four,
and little of the milk.
Mix till thick batter is formed,
and gradually add the rest of the
milk till the mixture is the consist
ency of thick cream. Pour the mix
ture into pitcher, and cook in a
very clean frying pan. Have the pan
hot, place in 1t a small piece Of but
ter, pour in enough batter, and cook
till done.

sticking anywhere, turn it, and cock

Put each pancake as 1t is done on
a piece of paper, sprinkle some sugar
over it, and roll up. Keep warm till
the others are done. and serve as
quickly as possible. Send to table
