FtrZ Lee.
Richmond Dispatch.

lIiSpdtCA
According to the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Sun, the
President will probably ask General
t1tz Lee to return 70 Havana and
continue in office there until the
present crisis in the islands affairs
has past.
We suspect that this correspond
ent's information liz correct. Ii Is
believed that our Minister to Madrid,
Mr.. Stewart Woodford, has been
charged with the duty of making i'm
portant approximations to the Gov
eminent of Spain. And it may be
that these representations will lead
to rupture between the two gov
erDments. In that event, the Presi.
dent would be fortunate to have Fita
Lee as an adviser, and the country
would be certain to approve any
course thought tn be recommended
by Lee.
Ii the situation be as it is supposed
to be, General Lee, could hardly re-
fuse to accommodate the President
by returning to Havana, though it
is understood to be his wish to stay
at home
By the way, it is stated that
General Lee has had very hatteriDg
offers from American lecture bureaux
to take the platform this winter.

ORIGIN OF NATIONS.

Persian history claims that the Per-
slams are descended from Perseus and
Andromeda.
The Firms were at first the Fenns,
or Fen men, who dwelt in the marshes
north of the Baltic sea. They were con-
quered by the Russians in the twelfth
century.
The Saxons appeared in the fourth
century as a warlike German tribe.
Their name was derived, it is supposed,
from the seax, a heavy battleax, which
was their favorite weapon.
The Latins are first mentioned as a
nation of people under the rule of
Latinus, 1910 B. Q. They inhabited
the central regions of Italy about mid
way between the Alps and the southern
extremity
The Corsicans of the present day are
descended from Phenicians, Greeks.
Carthaginiaus, Romans. Vandals, Cloths,
Visigoths, Arabians, Italians and
French. According to Seneca the abo-
rhymes were robbers, liars and athe-
lists.
The Russians are believed to have
originated from a Slovenian tribe called
the Roxilani about the Christian era.
At later date they were also called
Muscovites, from Moscow, their leading
city. The state was founded by Ruric.
500 A. D.
The English are first mentioned ip
history as the Angles, German tribe
inhabiting a portion of the seacoast be-
| tween Denmark and Holland. The first
English king who ruled in England
| was Egbert, in 1913, who at Hengest-
down defeated the natives in 835 and
| firmly established his authority in most
| of the eastern half of the island.-St.
Louis Republic.

Queer View of Dramatic Journalism

A London music hall singer. having
recovered damages in a suit for libel
against a newspaper which criticised
her, a London weekly says: eff journal
lists have any esprit de corps. or, indeed,
spirit OF any kind, they will neglect to
notice any performers who refuse to &C
cept adverse criticism and absolutely to
ignore them. If we do not stand togeth-
er in these matters, the press may as well
at once cease to pretend to express its
unbiased Judgment on anything or any
body. We shall be at the mercy of any
artist who objects to anything but ser
vile adulation. . That seems to be as
queer view to take of the duties of
the theatrical critic as that of the per-
former who sued for libel or the jurors
who gave her damages. As Stephen
Blackpool remarked, ITS a. a mud
die. New York Times.

Making Ounce Preserves.

The excuse for this richest Of all pre-
serves is its very richness, its pungent,
delicious 1avor--so unlike any other
fruit that there seems no kinship be-
tween them We do not want it often
we should tire of it-and we do not
want much Of it, so it is well in any
but large families to use pint jars for
it. Ounce is better than any other pre-
serves in sweet omelets, gives fine ad-
litional touch of flavor to mince meat.
Is effective in tutti frutti and nessel-
rode pudding and in claret cup. The
flavor is finer, mellower and the pieces
of fruit softer the second year after
preserving it.
In preserving first wash the fruit
thoroughly. as the skins will be used
for Jelly; pare, halve it if small, quar-
ter if large, cut out the core neatly and
drop the pieces into cold water. When
enough fruit is pared to make two lay
ers in the preserving kettle, put them
on in cold water and boil (not violent
ly) until they can be easily pierced
with straw. or they can be steamed
Just as we'll, and more can then be done
at one time When done, lay them on a
platter Strain the water in which they
were boiled and add three-quarters of a
pound Of sugar for each pint Boil
gently for ten minutes, skim, add the
fruit, simmer for 90 minutes longer and
seal. Many use an equal quantity OF
apples with the ounce, and SO pangent
is the ounce favor that in eating the
preserves it is difficult to distinguish
which is the apple. The Pound Sweet
is the best apple for the purpose. The
apple will need only the 20 minutes
cooking in the sirup-no preliminary
boiling or steaming. To can ounces
and apples, proceed as above, using
quarter of pound of sugar to pound
of fruit.-Ella Morris Kretschmar il
Woman's Home Companion.

The Hunting Sc asou.

The season for hunting cartridges
according to law begins the first of
November, if we are not mistaken.
Some are under the impression that
the season begins October 18th. All
persons who hunt before the first day
of November had better beware, or
they might find themselves in trou>
BILE Ignorance is no excuse in law.
The law also applies to wild turkeys,
and to kill them before the law says
you can might bring trouble. If you
are hunter and love the sport, be
patient, and when the season does
come you can make up for lost time.
