M. Francisque Sarcey, the French dramatic critic, announces himself as a convert to vegetarianism.

"We have been educated for ladies," said Christine, "and not cooks!" "Are the two incompatible, Chris?" "And I am fully resolved one day to be an artist. A laudscapist, to im mortalize just such scenes as that!" pointing with slim, taper fingers to ward the burning glow in the west. "Yes, but in the meantime?" dryly observed Rosamond.

"We are asked to the Thanksgiving party at Bramblethorpe!" exultantly retorted Christine. "We can't go!" averred Rosamond. "Why can't we go?" "Nothing to wear," Rosamond suc cinctly answered, giving a sharp, sud den tap of the hammer to a plump nut on the edge of the llatiron. "How do you know that?"

"Never tasted anything so delicious in my life," said Mrs. Edgeley, nib bling away at the cake with teeth that were still as white and perfect as when she was sixteen. "You don't mean to say, Peggy, that you made them?" "I, ma'm? Not II" protested Peggy. "Not. but what I call myself as good a hand at cake as most folks, but I'm free to confess I hain't the light touch anil the easy knack to stir up a batch like this. It's our Miss Rosamond that, made 'ein, Mrs. Edge ley, and I'm proud to say it, that I am!" Mrs. Edgeley's spectacled eyes grew big and round. She came a step or two nearer. "Peggy," said she, in a mysterious whisper, "these are just what we want for our Thanksgiving party. Aurilla isn't much of a calculator, and I'm afraid we're going to run short on cake. Would yon sell me this batch? And would the young ladv bake mo another—as a very special favor?" she added, insinuatingly. Peggy tossed her head. "We don't buy nor sell our cake," said she. But you're welcome to it, Mrs. Edgeley, and I'm sure my young lady will be very pleased to accommo date you." "Humph! humph!" commented Mrs. Edgeley. "Much obliged, I'm sure! I called in about that setting of Muscovy duck eggs, but I'll just take this baking of nut cakes instead. It's just exactly tlio sort of thing one wants for a Thanksgiving party. There's something homelike and home made about it. And 1 can have the rest day after to-morrow?" After Mrs. Edgeley had hobbled away on her gold-headed cane, Peggy found a crisp, clean five-dollar bill lying on the table. She eyed it shrewdly. "It's no more than they're worth," said she. And she pocketed the bill. "Yes, Miss Rosy, I gin 'em every one away," said Peggy, craftily, "to a i poor old creetur, lame and almost : | i>iinil. You'd W done it youraelf it i you'd been hi re.

APACHES IN THE ARMY. THE NEW SYSTEM TRIED IN ARI ZONA TERRITORY. The Indian Has Not Proved n Very Good Solillfr--I/iir(>(l Into Service by the Charm of llrnss Buttons. > ✓OMPANY. attention 1" 112 ' The long liue of y* J Colored soldiers presents n unique and picturesque ap pearance. The straight-cut regular army j\ckct, trousers that are a eoru pr online between the native garment and the "garments of the line," met at the kueo by buckskin leggings ; on the head a cloth of red muslin or calieo in a band and tied tightly behind, leav ing the crown of raven hair completely exposed. This is the Apache soldier of the United States regular ivriuy on duty, says an Arizona correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle. The Indian troops of the Depart ment of Arizona are recruited solely from the various tribes of the Apache Nation, and are iu nowise similar to the Indiau police force of the Sioux or other Indian tribes. They are regu larly enlisted for the full period of service, receive full pay, and are held strictly amenable to military disci pline. Their uniforms vary slightly from those ot the other troops, re sembling a sort of Zouave equipment, a concession which the department found it necessary to make in order to satisfy some whims of the aboriginal mind. The Indian is essentially nar row-minded and superstitions. Matters of dress which may be exceedingly triv ial iu importance have to him some times an immense significance. The Apache problem has been a thorn iu the side to the commanders of the Department of Arizona. There are ten large tribes in the Territory, making nu aggregate of some 40,00(1 persons. Of all these, the Apaches alone have given the Government any trouble withiu the past quarter of a century. They occupy a reservation in the heart of the Territory larger than the combined States of Massachu setts, Hhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware ; and their whole tribal pop ulation numbers less than 5000. There has not been a year since the white oc cupation that some Apache renegade was not off the reservation, making life interesting for some one, and a very few years have passed in which the Government has not been called upon to quell a general outbreak. .s. _ With the end of the Geronimo cam-' paign the authorities adopted a new policy townr/I these implacables and the formation oi the Indian auxilsries is a part of the new programme. Gradually the more lawless chiefs have been vanquished until now there is hardly a corporal's guard of tho old warriors to be found in all the tribes which Comprise the Apache Nation. I'hen supplementary proceedings were begau by enlisting all the able-bodied vonng bucks between the ages of six teen and thirty into regular companies. I'nder these conditions with all tho old men deported and all the young sters under the eyes of the regular soldiers —it is hoped that the solution of the Apache trouble is not fur dis tant. While the question se tns iu a fair wnv to be settled with regard tt> the Indian, the new ileal does not give \ universal satisfaction in army circles. The soldiers do not take kindly to the , change. At Fort Huachucrv all in i cipient mutiny was raised on the arrival of the red-skinned troopers, flegulars who have been for years light ing the wily Apache from behind rocks cMiniot readily accustom them selves to the idea of messing and sharing quartern with their hereditary foe. Tin- otllcers, as a rule, are not verv enthusiastic ovrr the innovation either. Their general opinion is that tin 1 novelty will soon wear ofl with the n -nuts, and that eventually they will either desert, singly or en masse, or elae at best, when their term of ser vice expire* they will refuse re-enlist incut and return home with their newly acquired know ledge aud dit cipliui' to become more troublesome than i vcr. \* to the merits of the Apache as a soldier hi' doesu't seem t > have many. Il> can withstandau iueredible amount ol fatigue. A Ikiily of Apa -he infantry w ill make a forced in irch in better time a'nl eau arrive in better lighting trim than the average regular cavalry.
