some prominent persons direct from
Cuba, where they learned that Campos

pending between Spain and the Cuban
leaders.
1t is told BY close friend Of Campos
aud is understood by the powers that
be iu Havana, that the resurrection will
come to an immediate eud, for the rea-
soa that both Gomez and Maceo, the

That Petrlfed Man.

A gentleman from this city who went 10
Co!un bia last week 10 the ta' SAW 1he
pe1ri6ed man while there, and says 1t Is no
fake, but tie genuine article beyond doaot:
The body is of blueish-gra7 in color, and
was evidently composed fo9 burial The
hands are crossed over the nreast; the limos
are perfectly straight and lie close togetHef;
the bead is thrown back as it would be when
placed in coffin, ard the chest is expanded
The moustscbe is plainly Indicated, exactly
as in marble Or clny bust; tie toe aan
finger nails are perfect and distinct, and
there are other parts of the body visible that
it would be impossible to duplicate art't-
cially. part of the stomach is gone THIS
is evidently the effect Of partial modification
having set in before the process OF petrih'a-
ton began. The man was evidently 10 life
tall, well.formed and fine looking. How he
likes icing made gazing stock of might be
g question. Have the dead no rights Of this
sort that they should cot be protected from
the gaze of the crowds Of curiosity mongers?
Whatar the ethics on this sutjec'? Has
man the moral right to exhibit tor profit the
CORPSE OF another man, whether known or
unknown, whether petri6ed or unpretri6ed?
Then comes in the question OF decency. Ger
tainly women should not be asked to look
upon such sight. Yet the "looter" for
this particular sideshow was heard advising
every body, schoolgirls particularly, TO see it.
In our opinion the man 80 advising should
be severely kicked by the relatives of any
female who, following his advice, should go
to see the petrifed man. Women doctors
might be excepted, but no others.

Gus anxiety prevails and the situa-
ton is becoming worse. The gov
ernment is obtaining record of the

This action causes alarm, because IN
several towns where massacres have
occurred, the houses of Armenians
had been previously marked. Several
of the leading merchants have sought
and received shelter in the houses OF
Europeans.
The American missionaries at Bit
lis have telegraphed to the American
minister asking him to procure from

their families to Van.
It is estimated that 10000 persons
have been massacred since the ac-
ceptance by the sultan of the schemes

The Daily News in an article on
America and Turks will say that the
new world is asserting itself to re-
dress the balance of the old world.
The letllargy of the European powers
is hard to explain, but it is well that
the Turks should know that there is
a great nation beyond the Atlantic
that will not allow the blood of it's
sons to be shed with impunity. The
paper commends the holding of in

Cooking Beefsteak.

Here are the three essential points:
Have pan very hot; do not cover; do not
salt until ready to take from the pan. A
gas range is best for cooking beefSteak,
as with it one can most readily get the
pan at the proper temperature. The
grease used should be beef tallow or
butter-no hog fat. Put in the steak,
and IN one minute turn it.
If it is covered so closely that the
steam does not freely escape, it will be
less tender Unfortunately some grease
will sputter out on the stove, but when
the choice is between good meat and a
shiny stove, say choose the former. If
the steak is salted while cooking, it will
be less tender. Steak should never be
Clipped with a knife, and decent stea k,
properly cooked, will not need to be
pounded. The steak should be cut at
least half al inch thick. A person &C
customed to cooking steak in the wrong
way will almost invariably cook it too
long when first he cooks 1t by proper
methods; for the juices retained in the
interior of the steak are reddish, and the
interior of the steak will be red and raw
looking when it is we'll cooked, One
cannot make first quality gravy when
steak is cooked properly, for all the juice
is in the meat. By the slow cooking,
covering method, of the juices cooked
out one may get one-third for the gravy,
while two-thirds go into thin air.
Ham should be cooked the same way
as beefsteak-cut thick, pan very hot
when meat is put in, then turned
q lickly and not covered. On the other
hand, bacon should be cut thin and be
cooked longer.
More than one-half of the luiciness
and tenderness of meat depends upon
the manner OF cooking. Improper cook
ing easily spoils the best steak; good
cooking will make poor steak almost
palatable.-Jo hn M. Stahl, in Country
Gentleman.

or twice and letting the growth rot on the
surface the accumulation in the fall is
not so great and by making good fire
paths there is very little danger. If the
trees show any signs of being robbed the
ground around them can be hoed and a
fertilizer applied, or by using soluble
chemical fertilizer it can be spread on
top and the weeds cut down. The ferti-
lizer will soon find its way to the tree if
there are any rains.
By reducing the expense of caring for
the grove in labor from $25 to S. per
acre gave a chance for great improve
ment in the way of fertilizer.
