CHRISTMAS MENU.

1t May Be Indicated BY Quotations
Rather Than Names of Dishes.
Let the menu cards be two holly
leaves, joined at the points on the
upper side and arranged to stand up
in front of each plate. Paint both
outer surfaces the color of the leaves
and write the menu inside. This
should be indicated by quotations
rather than by the names of the
dishes themselves. FQr. instance:

Notes on Fur.


The most fashionable furs are seal
skin, sable, Persian lamb, chinchilla
and a light grey fur, mauff1an.
Remodeling of old fur capes is rem
dered comparatively easy, because
the fashion in furs permits the use
of two kinds in one garment.
The new muffs are quite large, and
sometimes combine two kinds of
fur. Velvet muffs are also trimmed
with fur.
Narrow bands of fur outline the
seams of skirts and jackets.

of long dead Decembers,
While the fire-clad shapes are fitting in
and out among the embers
On my hearthstone in mad races, and [
marvel, for in seeming
L can dimly see the faces and the scenes
of which I'm dreaming.
o golden Christmas days of yore!
In sweet anticipation
i lived their joys for days before
Their glorious realization;
And on the dawn
OF Christmas morn
My childish heart was knocking
A wild tattoo,
AS 'twould break through,
AS 1 unhung my stocking.
Each simple gift that came to hand,
How marvellous | thought it
A treasure straight from Wonderland,
For Santa Claus had brought it.
And at my cries
OF glad surprise
The others all came flocking,
To share my glee
And view with me
The contents of the stocking.
Years sped-I left each well-loved scene
In Northern wilds to roam,
And there, mid tossing pine trees green,
made myself home.
Wenumbered three
And blithe were we,
At adverse fortune hooking,
And Christmastide
BY our fireside
Found hung the baby's stocking.
Alas! within our home tonight
No sweet young voice is ringing,
And through its silent rooms no light,
Free, childish step is springing.
The wild winds rave
Der baby's grave
Where plumy pines are rocking,
And crossed at rest
On marble breast
The hands that filled my stocking.
with misty eyes but steady hand,
/ raise my Christmas chalice;
Here's to the children Of the land
In cabin or in palace:
May each one hold
The key of gold
The gates of glee unlocking,
And hands be found

To fill the Christmas stocking.

The Long Cloak.


The long cloak, in all its varieties,
now engages the attention of ladies
wishing new winter wrap. 1t is at
once beautiful, convenient and full
of warmth, and we hail with delight
its arrival again upon Fashions
stage.
The most striking styles are loose,
both back and front, and these are
very swell looking when worn by
slim, willowy, graceful figure. For
ladies who are inclined to be stout,
there are shown beautiful modes in
close fitting garments. These fit
like glove, and entirely conceal
the gown beneath.
Black velvet is much used for these
garments, and pale tinted cloths are
also popular. Fine is the trimming
most liked for all styles of long
cloaks.

The Face Shampoo.

Do you ever try face shampooq
If not, try it once, and you will not
stop with the trial. After morning
of hard shopping, when everything
has gone wrong, go to your room,
wash your face with the hottest wa
ter that can be borne, with a sponge
rubbed with little glycerine and
pure CASTLE soap. When the face is
in fine, soft lather, rub with al
mond meal until dry. Battle with
clear, hot water until the soap and
meal have been removed, after
which use cold water until the face
feels cold and the flesh firm. Dry
gently, and with soft linen cloth
moistened in cologne rub the eye
brows and all about the roots of the
hair. A dash of rice powder takes
off the shine, and does no harm.
By this time you are ready for a
flannel negligee and slippers. Then
take cup of hot tea, with lemon in
it, tuck yourself snugly away be-
meath a down coverlet and give your
self up to a quiet sleep or pleasant
day-dreams, and when you come
back to earth again all will have a
rosy hue, and you will love even
your worst enemy.-Exchange.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Secretary Newcomb is in receipt
OF letters advising him Of large
delegations from principal cities
in the state who will attend the
republican state convention at
Houston on the Goth. Fort Worth,
Dallas, Denton and other cities in
Northern Texas will be there in
force.
In the editorial comment upon
the Austin convention, the South
ern Republican, black and tan,
SAYS: ain our report OF the con-
vention. we simply state plain
facts, and let the responsibility for
such disgraceful proceedings rest
where they may. The result OF the
convention is to be regretted by
every person who has the Interest
OF the republican party at heart.",
An old, lifelong republican who
never attends conventions, in con-
versation with Col. Newcomb, ex-
pressed the hope that the Houston
convention would save the party
in Texas. 1t is not quite enough
that we have the best wishes OF the
good men, we want their active
cO-oDeration.

Spain Is Anxious.

MADRID, April 6.-The result of
the vote on the question of the at
titude Of the United States to-
ward Cuba, which it is under
stood here to be taken on the
United States senate's resolutions,
in the house today, is anxiously
awaited here. In any case it is
pointed out that hostilities must
soon cease on account of the APP
proach of the rainy season and
that no further reinforcements
worth mentioning will be sent to
Cuba until the month of Septem-
Der. But the war department is
making extensive preparations
in this connection, and four IRON
clads and several torpedo boats are
ready to sail at short notice
from Ferrol, to take part in the
blockade of the coast of Cuba,
should the insurgents be recog-
nized as beligerents. The general
opinion here, however, is that the
question as to how and when the
United States will intervene in
Cuba, will be left to President
Cleveland, and it is believed that
the latter will only, at
least as a preliminary step,
offer the friendly offices of
the United States in the matter,
while intimating that other steps
may be taken should the offer be
refused. The Spanish cabinet will
be in session today from about the
time that the United States con-
gress assemblies until the vote In
the house OF representatives Is
taken. Later, it is understood that
the ministers would be summoned
by the queen regent, and the
whole matter be discussed. Also
some newspapers declare that the
crisis is at hand. The fact re-
maius that the people are almost
entirely Gained down and little or
no war talk is to be heard. The
military and naval preparations
that are being made by the war
department and admiralty are
more in nature OF precautionary
measures, the ultimate object OF
which is the futher and still
more energetic prosecution oil
the campaign against the
insurgents. There is no int ltion
to defy the United States or TO do
anythingIcalculsted to infiame pop
ular feeling, although should 1t be-

Let the Test Be Made.

To the Daily LIGHT:
Steps are being taken to bring
suit before the federal courts to
test the right of Mexican Indians,
or their immediate descendants, to
vote in Texas. This is a most i'm
portant question to the people Of
Southwest Texas, and its adjudica-
ton will be watched with the keen
est interest," Many of San Anto-
MOS most eminent lawyers hold
that under the terms of the Hidal-
go treaty Mexican indian cannot
become naturalized citizen of the
United States, and if this opinion
should be sustained by the court
of last resort, before which the
question will doubtless be carried,
it will serve to materially reduce
the voting strength of San Antonio
as we'll as the border counties on
the Rio Grande. AMERICAN.

The Chicago ball team arrived
from Houston yesterday morning
| to play a game with the Bronchos
at Riverside park in the afternoon.
But as the rain continued to fall
and black clouds came up from the

the Bronchos decided to call it of.
The Chicagos fare quartered at the

ing the afternoon by number
of local rooters, who knew them
either personally or by reputation.
About two hundred rooters went
out to Riverside park yesterday,
expecting to see a game, but had
to return to the city disappointed.
The Chicagos have beentat Gal
weston the past five weeks to train
for the season, but have had very
untavorable weather and "Uncle"
Auson is not satisfied with the
trip. He says he may come to San
Antonio next spring, as this city
has been highly recon- ended to
him as place for training.
Arson has twenty-three players
under contract and expects to re-
lease or farm out about five or six
of these, but has not yet decided
who they will be. Manager
Brophey is after Third Baseman
Kelley, but Arson says nearly
every club Is after him and moth
ing will be done in the matter
until he reaches Kansas City,
where President J. A. Hart, Of the
Chicago club, will join the team.
Manager Brophey received con-
tract from the Indianapolis club
for Pitcher Mahoffy, releasing him
for one season to San Antonio. Mr..
Brophey,wired transportation and
the new twirler will be here in a
few days.
Mr.. Brophey also arranged games
