Potnto CooIlng.

The potato is the vegetable that
taxes the skill Of the young cook to
the utmost. Why it should be so 1
cannot say, but the majority Of cooks
make lamentable failures with the po-
tato. Even in such q simple matter
as the serving of whole roasted pota-
toes for a light supper (quite fash
ionable dish at present) they fail from
lack of the necessary experimentation,
without which no cook can keep up
with the procession of good cooks
They put the potatoes in the hottest
oven, wet from the washing they have
had, and in half to three-quarters of
an hour take them out and serve, and
wonder why most of them come back
on the plates merely nibbled at. Try
this way: Take potatoes of moderate
size, clean them with a stiff brush, us
ing no water. If wanted for a sup
per at, say 5 o'clock, put them in the
warming closet of your range, not too
near the pipe, at s o'clock in the morn
ing. Turn them frequently during
the day, and as soon as a splint will
go through one and come out dry, they
are done, and can be kept in good
condition for an hour by removing
them to cooler place. Potatoes
roasted thus will absorb butter readily,
which is the best of well-roasted po-
tato. To serve them, use covered egg
cups. Rub the inside of the cups
with melted butter, take off the skins
of potatoes, and fill the cups with the
pulp, putting good-sized piece of
butter, and pinch of salt, aud dash
Of white pepper on top. Set the cups
in the hot oven for ten minutes. Serve

A woman cannot be entirely wom-
anly-she cannot be perfect woman
if she is not in perfect health. In just
so much as her sickness effects the or
gans that make her a woman, in just so
much she loses attractiveness. This is
the vital part of her health. II any
thing is wrong there, it may result in
all manner Of ills all over the body.
Careless, or too busy, physicians fire.
quently treat the symptoms OF this
kind of disorder as separate and
distinct ailments. The symptoms
are many and varied, so much
so that when woman is sick in any
way, the first thought should be given
to the organs distinctly feminine.
About 9 times in 10 the cause of the
trouble will be found there. DR.. Pier
ce's Favorite Prescription cures all
disorders of this kind. There is no
guess-work about it. There is no chan
ce about it. 1t is fact that has been
demonstrated in 80 solid years of ex-
tensive practice. Thousands of women
have written grateful letters, who have
wished the whole world of women to
know the wonderful things the ''Pres-
criptiOnn has done for them.

Cuba Libre.

Affairs in Spain have added to the
general feeling that the end is APP
preaching in Cuba. There can no
longer be any reasonable doubt that
before the winter is over Cuba
Libre" will be an established fact and
no longer a dream of the Cuban pa
triOts.
For several weeks one of the shrewd-
est of the members of the Cuban junta
has been in Washington incOgnito,
making occasion al trips to neig b boring
cities, where munitions and supplies
can be obtained. He has purchased
immense quantities of war material,
paying cash in all cases. TIL. friends
of Cuba have become so expert in the
practice of filibustering that they can
now land such cargoes as they please
IN the island with little or no risk of
.aDture.
1t is reported here from confidential
sources that the recent unprecedented
activity of the Cuban forces on the is
and is owing to the large quantity of
supplies which the juota bias supplied
them with. GomeZ's forces are now
fully equipped with modern high pow
er guns and plenty of ammunition and
are thus fully prepared to give battle
to their opponents Ga their own terms,
with what results the daily dispatches
show. The army is in better condition
now than at any time during the war.
From raw recruits without arms the
troops have gradually been converted
into well-armed soldiers. There are
now 70, 900 armed and drilled men in
the field.
Another large expedition has just got
safely away, carrying several powerful
field guns. With these tits expected
that Gomez will be in condition to
make an attack in force on Havana,
which he already holds in practical
state of siege, and the junta is confid-
entity predicting some startling news
from Cuba within few weeks.

The meeting was opened with prayer

by A. Il. Wheeler, a colored orato, of
Falls county, and H. Watts, of Hous-

One of the objects of the ex-slave and
the subordinate associations is the

the old eX-masters attended the re-
union today and addressed their former
slaves. Today's meeting ended with a

NUMEROUS heirs of the wealthy
Stephen Girard recently came together
in Paris and decided to sue for his vast
estate, including the ground and prop
erty of Girard college in Philadelphia
Their first impression was to sue for
the recovery of the college on the
ground that the provision in Girard's
will against the admission of ministers
of the gospel to the college precincts
is immoral and opposed to public poll
cy, but on learning that the college has
virtually been turned into a theologi cal
seminary they have concluded to de-
mand the property on the ground that
the will has been violated by those
having the property in charge.
