ranged on the marble; spread the burnt
almonds evenly on the marble; pour
on them boiling made same as for

Resolutions Favorrng Cuban Patriots Are
Adopted.


Adopted.
Washington, March 3.-The house
Monday, after two hours spirited de-
bate under the limitations of suspen-
sion of the rules, by vote of 263 to II,
agreed to lin lieu of the resolutions
adopted Friday by the senate) the con-
current resolutions reported last week,
by it's committee on foreign affairs, de-
claring that in the opinion of congress,
a state OF public war exists in Cuba,
the parties to which are entitled to
belligerent rights, and between which
the United States should observe a
strict neutrality. They further declare
that congress believes the only per-
manent solution of the contest is in the
establishment of a government by the
people of Cuba, and that it is the sense
of congress that the government of the
| United States should use its good offices
and influence to that end; and that
the United States should be prepared
to protect the legitimate interests OF
its citizens in Cuba, by intervention if
necessary. The last of the series of res
olutions reported by the committee,
pledging the support of congress to the
president in carrying out the foregoing
was stricken out, it being thought I'm
necessary, being covered in the others
A "joint' resolution had been pro
posed but was abandoned on assurance
from the white house that the president
was friendly to Cuban belljgereney.

the dogs encircled again and again in
their mad efforts to lay hold of him.
The test was remarkable one, the
chase having been over territory miles
in extent, which had in many places
been walked over and where the nu-
merous footprints might have been
misleading.
The dogs are splendid specimens OF
their breed. Wade and Muse are 2h
years old, and Freeman is only two.
The two older dogs have run down 35
convicts during their brief career.
Their best record, in which Freedman
also participated, was the running
down of negro convict nine days after
his escape from a convict farm in the
mountains of North Carolina. The
chase extended over 1875 miles, and
when at bay the negro killed two other
dogs in the pack and knocked Wade
senseless before he was finally cap
tured by the officers. The trio can run

PRESENTS FOR BRIDES.
A Few Sentimental Hints for suitablol
wedding Remembrances.


There is often not little consider
alton when one comes to send gift to-
the bride and has, perhaps, slender.
purse from which to purchase 1t, with
the consciousness that it must COM
pete with hosts of rich and royal bene-
factions.
Most women embroider nowadays.
Because they do so, it is unwise to use
fancy work as q present, unless 1T is
something magnificent or absolutely
unique. Suggestions on the lines OF
those given below, If they were fault"
lessly carried out, could not fail to win
recognition and praise among the most
abundant and beautiful of gifts.
A wedding certificate does not sound
especially nlluring. But one embroid.
cred in the richest of coloring, in old
English letters, and done on heavy
white satin, looks like an illuminated
missal, and is a rarely exquisite SOU
venir of this day of days.

Latest Thing in Sandwiches.

The ambitious hostess is now trying
20 evolve an unheard-of sandwich be-
cause it has become the fashion to make
them the surprise of each course at a
formal luncheon. One who has sue

sible to provide seven varieties for as
many courses. All sorts of materials
were used, brown and white bread,
rolls, and crackers of different kinds;
and the filling included anchovy paste

WOMAN AND HOME.
FALSE EYELAsHEs.
Produced by Means of Needle Threaded
.uitIt IInlr.

Produced by means OF n Neeho Ihrehuou
with Hair.
The very latest false thing in the way
of feminine adornment is false eye
brows and false eyelashes, which are
put in-not on--with such cunning art
that even the closest scrutiny will not
discover the imposture.
At present the employment of this
new discovery is limited to small |
number of lyric and dramatic artistes |
in London and Paris-for the pain is
considerable, the process slow and cost
", but, like everything else, it will
doubtless spread, and in due time find
its way across the Atlantic to these
shores.
1t was Parisiun coiffeur, 1t is said,
who discovered the method by which
hairs can pc planted, one by one, where
they grow thin upon the eyebrows and
in places where evelashes are missing
or short. 1t is said that, when shaded
by these long lashes, ordinary good
looking eyes take on soft languor
that is irresistible, and that fine eyes
have their beauty much enhanced by
this device.
The operation by which new eye
lashes are put in is as follows: Armed
with q fine needle, in which is threaded
n hair of the same shade as those which
it is to rep)ace-a hair plucked from the
head of the victim is generally used
the operator attacks the extreme edge
of the eyelid, between the epidermis
and the light, fatty hem which borders
it. The needle passes in and out along
the edge of the lid, leaving its hair
thread in loops of carefully guarded
length.
When this is, done the ends of these
loops are cut off and trimmed, and the
result is fine, thick, long set of eye
lashes. 1t Is the finishing touch, how
ever, which is to come which makes
them seem like natures own. When
they are first cut they stick out in the
most singular fashion, giving the per
son peculiarly weird and uncannS
look, like n wax figure. To remedy
this the operators next step is to TAXI
q pair of tiny silver curling tongs, nj
larger than knitting needles, and give
them the exact curve which is essentia
to perfect beauty.
The lower lid is operated upon in th'
same way. Then the patients eyes ar
carefully bandaged for ten hours, ant
the following day there is no trace o
the operation. 1t is claimed that thes
false lashes will stay in, and with fire
guent touchings up with the tiny cur
ing tongs will look extremely well 70
Elk months Then the process Las t
be gone through with again
The composition of this lotion is
secret, and it's inventor, knowing h
has a good thing, does not neglect t
charge as much as he can get, an
many people prefer to suffer the phys
cal pain instead.-N. i. World.

First-It gives the governor, secre.

Second-Lumber companies in the

secure the leases; then the timber will

The case was one where the United

sought to introduce affidagits taken in
France, after notice to tho defnndants

of defendants counsel upon the ground
that although the proceeding was civil
in form it was in substance criminal
case and therefore the defendants had

A remarkable instance of marriage

correspondent just taken place at
Nicolaieff, Russia, where the ceremony
was actually performed in the Jewish
cemetery. A young Jewess having
died suddenly, her relatives decided
that, as she was bctrothed, she should
be married according to the rites of the
Jewish ritual, so that she should not
incur the disgrace of entering the other
life as single woman. With this
idea the parents of the deceased erected
n baldachin over the newly made grave
and the dead and the living being
brought together, the gruesome farce
was duly performed. After the usua
prayers had been said, and the body hao
been lowered into the grave, docn

New Way to Serve rarsnips.

An entirely new way of serving
parsnips is in the shape of an English
walnut with nut in the middle. The
parsnips are first boiled and mashed
fine. Then to each pint there are added
a teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoon
f,ls of melted butter, a dash of pepper
and two tablespoonfuls of milk. Mix
well over the fire, and when smoking
hot add thoroughly beaten and very
fresh egg. Spread the mixture on
dish to cool. Then take the nut of an
English walnut and roll around it the
parsnip pulp until you have good
sized nut. Roll in egg and cracker dust
and fry light brown in deep fat thai
is smoking. Serve hot.

at 3005 West Sixth street, CINCINNATI
who the other morning gave wonder
full exhibition of their intelligence ana
sagacity in man-tracking. They were
taken to the Delhi pike at seven o'clock
by their owner, who was accompanied
by q Cincinnati Enquirer representa-

the part of fugitive. The dogs were
held in leash by Barlley, while Kleem
deposited his vest in Sharp's pasture,
on the Sedan place. Keelm then struck
up q rapid gait, going in q zizgag

tracks up the hill to the south. Having
reached the summit, almost to the

Kleem had half hours start of the

took up the scent at once, and barking
frantically followed the trail. Sew

the tracks, and only once or twice were
momentarily nonplused. They soon
picked up the lost trail, however, and
kept closely to it, passing through tn,
