The member of the nobility is the Honorable Helen Cecil Douglas Scott Montagu, a daughter of Baron Montagu of Reaulieu and a grandniece of the late Duke of Buccleueh, who died in London a few weeks ago. She Is tall and blond. She has four hundred acres of land in her own name in the southern part of England. She is on the stage, she says, Iwv ause she likes the life and because she became tired of doing nothing at home. This is her first trip to America.

Prefer Tigers to Pigs A curious instance of the bad result often obtained by tampering with na ture's balance is contained in a recent | communication by an Indian official to the effect that the campaign against s tigers in several places in India has | resulted in the enormous increase of i wild pigs, which are doing great dam | age to crops. The native farmers are; forced to watch their fields carefully i at an increased expense. This dam age and increased expense must be taken into consideration in fixing the j new land tax, and thus the strange, situation exists that by the destruction i | of the tigers the farmers may be out of pocket.—Consular Rej»ort. , Her System "It takes my wife so long to dress 1 when we want to go to the city that! we always miss the train."'

The crowds of people lined up early in the morning along the route gave evidence of the nation's appreciation of its great loss and the measure of esteem in which the deceased warrior was held. The procession from Charing Cross Station, whence the coffin had been conveyed from Ascot, was along the Victoria Embankment, up Now Bridge street and by way of Ludgate Hill to St. Paul's. As the cortege left the station the first shot of the uineteen minute guns fired in St. .Innies' Park by the Hampshire Artillery was heard. Along the Embankment, swept by a mist of driving rain, passed the distinguished procession. The mourners followed close on the coffin, which was conveyed on a gun carriage of P Battery of the Royal Horse Artillery. Included in tlie cort&ge gath ered to convey the dead Field Marshal to his last resting place was a mountain battery with Indian drivers and gun nels. Tills, perhaps, more th:in anything else, brought home to the spectators something of the nature of the death struggle which is even at this moment proceeding in Belgium and France, and to the music of which Lord Roberts s|>ei t his last hours. The hardy inuies on which the sections of the guns were carried, the inscrutable Indians at their side, touched the imagination of the spectator. In the above drawing Christopher Clark, a special artist for this newspaper, the New York Herald and the London Sphere, shows the processiou along the Embankment, with the mountain battery in the foreground.

Berlin, Dec. 1. —A small French aeroplane, t)he " Bauernschreck," which translated moans "the peasants' ter ror,'' is no more and great is the re joicing thereat among one wing of the German army, which it had disturbed much. For a long period every evening about o o'clock, tlie machine used to ap pear over t lie trenches south of Kheims, drop just one bomb, which nev er failed to scatter death and destruc tion, and then itisappear. German avi ators ascended repeatedly and made fu tile attempts to bring down the daiiger ! ous visitor. It was evident that the machine carried a murderous machine gun and that its occupants were no mean marksmen Kver yaviator . who pursued the ••Bauernschreck" sought eagerly the honor of bringing it down, and as a re- Mill of bravery shown jn pursuit one non-commUsioner officer won an iron cross, btn lost his life. After being 1 -hot through the hips by a gun in the French machine, he continued to pilot a Herman aeroplane for nine miles. Finally a reserve artillery captain evolved a new base for a howitzer, so constructed as to permit great elevation and rapid change of objective and the second shot from it finished the Bauern -1 schreck. Both occupants were charred and mutilated beyjnd recognition. Jt i could only be told that one was an ofli | cer and the other a civilian.

K T Swiss Steak Ali tough meat is hotter for having the fibre broken somewhat before cook ing. The ordinary meat pounder is in clined to cut the meat so the juices escape; by using n platter, as Miss White suggests, the tissue is not crushed or cut yet it is separated. Then flour is worked into the meat to prevent the juices escaping before the cooking is underway and before the crust is formed by the fat. Another thing, this crust is heavier for having the flour on the meat so the juices are. better retained in the steak. Now about the proper thickness of beefsteak. If cut thinner than an inch and a half the juices cannot be pre served and the meat is bound to be more like leather than steak. Because meat is cut thin is no reason it must, come to the table rare if you like it well done. Witness the one and one half hours Miss White suggests for this Swiss steak. It will be done and yet it will be as full of richness and flavor as though it was a broiled porterhouse. •lust now all meat should be cooked thoroughly for it is by cooking or by the application of heat that disease germs are killed. They will all yield to this sterilizing process if the heat be long continued and high. The pub licity given to the foot and mouth dis ease has alarmed everyone yet hog cholera and kindred diseases are always among cattle and we buy the flesh con taining the germs and by cooking it. destroy the danger. Surely it is a woman's duty to her family to under stand how and why to cook well.
