Cuban War News.

Havana, Jan. 22, via Tampa, Fla, Jan. H.-Gomez and Maceo are now widely separated. The former is operating in this province and when last heard from was about twenty-five miles southeast of this city. He is awaiting the arrival of Jose Maceo Antonio Maceo did not turn back to the eastward after reaching the province of Pinar del Rio, and meet ing del Gado, the ex-bandit who led the first rising at the western end of the island. He pushed on along the south coast, destroying railroad and telegraph ic communication, but doing no injury to crops and towns, so far as can be learned Cubans say that all towns in the prov ince hoisted the white flag at once, and that explains why no towns were burned there, while in Havana and Matanzas provinces many were laid in ashes.
 There is some talk here of Maceo join- ing the united forces of Gomez near San Felipe, south of Havana, and fighting big battle near there. The insurgents have gained many recruits and captured considerable arms and ammunition since Invading this province, but Gomez does not want to expend ammunition in pro- ,longed battle. He and Maceo both are said to be anxious for a fight, and there is no question that they have upwards of 25,000 men, but it is not believed this will come until more ammunition is obtained

QUICKLY PREPARED DESSERT

Although the Bellamy system of house,
keeping has not yet been fully developed,
the women of the day are to be congrat-
ulated. pom the vast strides that are be-
ing made toward convenience and econ
omy in housekeeping, and especially as
regards the HON bill of fare.
In this connection, the Merreli-Soule
Company, of Syracuse, has come conspic-
uously to the front with their None Such
Mince Meat, a material for desserts, the
prominent features of which are it's
w-holsomeness, richness of flavor, and
the remarkably short time in which it
can be prepared for the table.
The ingredients of this Mince Meat are
prepared by exact rule, and with the
greatest care. In no kitchen in the land
is there more ~scrupulous cleanliness.
The choicest apples and the selected meat
are chopped by steam power;the currants
are washed and rewashed by the same
method. The raisins are seeded, the
sugar ground, the spices mixed, and
every operation performed with skill that
would meet the approval of the most
particular housewife. The proprietors
product rest entirely on its being main
rained at the highest possible standard,
and it is their experience hat those
Who try 1t once are unwilling to go back
to the old laborious way of making mince
pies, but accept the new order of things
as thankfully as they do the sewing

The Merrel-Seule Company have issued
a charming booklet entitled Mrs. Pop

our most popular humorous writers,
which they are sending free to all who

all who like to keep their gloves in a
neat way.
The outside of his case is made of a
piece of unbleached or self-colored linen,
ten by twenty-four inches in size, and
the lining is of a piece of dark blue silk
the same size. The lining is prepared
first. Two inches from both long edges,
and at equal distances. are fastened
seven loops of inch-wide lark blue rib
bon. 50 made that two long ribbons of
same width and color can be passed
through. These ribbons serve to hold
the gloves In place. The lining and OUT
side are next tackled together, and one of
he narrow ends is shaped to a point.
All the edges are bound neatly with lark
blue ribbon. On the point are fastened
two long ribbons. The gloves are well
smoothed out and placed beneath the
ribbons between the loops. the case
rolled up and secured by tying the rib
bons in a bow.
A pretty idea vas recently suggested
in an English magazine. It was to make
a Shakespearean garden. That is, dur
ing the winter to make note of the fow-
ers mentioned in Shakespeare and in the
spring to try and grow them.
For American children it would be wise
to begin with such a delightful pastime
with an American poet, such as Long
fellow, Whittier, Holmes or Bryant.
The Autocrat tells in his inimitable way
OF the confusion produced in the minds
of American children who read mostly
English books in which s'one found COW
slips in the fields, while what we saw
We're buttercups; where there We're larks
and nightingales instead of yellow birds
and bobolinks; where the robin was a
little domestic bird that fed at the table
instead of a great fidgety, jerky, whoop-
ing thrush"
So get out your books, girls and take
notes for the spring which will soon be
here.
There is always a great demand for
novelties in the matter of dessert Here
is a recipe for orange ice which may sup
ply a ant.
Crate the rinds of four oranges and
steep them ten minutes in a pint of wa
ter. STRAIN this upon one pound of SUI
gar, add a pint of range juice, and when
cold pour into the freezer. When hall
frozen add the whites of four eggs
beaten to a stiff froth.
What to wear on ones hands at a ball
is more or less of a question now that
the tan Suede glove is no longer the reg
ulation thing. The bellies of Vienna
choose gloves of delicate light tints in
Suede leather. They open on the uppe,
side Of the arm. and are bordered with
white marabout feathers. These gloves
are laced, not buttoned, the lacing being
quite a-iour.
