4 RUSsiAN NOTION.

These are queer times, and it is
therefore not wise to be surprised by
the remarks made by the Novosti of st.
Petersburg, which says: 1t is full time
to end a senseless and criminal war.
Spain's appeal is a sort of capitulation,
but, on the other hand, America must
voluntarily submit her pretensions to a
tribunal of the powers. America can
not avoid doing this, as her position,
with two long and exposed coast lines,
is not such as could Withstand the
combined fleets of two or three Euro
pean powers. Let Europe raise her
mighty voice and restore that peace to
which mankind looks for the only
peaceful expansion, and for the tri-
umph of civilization.
Um, UNI! Isn't this rather strong
language from our old friends the Rus
slams? And do they want to make us
still more friendly with England?

The patriotic women of New Haven
will be called to meet in Colonial Hall
Friday afternoon to form an organiza-
ton for the aid and comfort of the sol
diers and sailors. Of course there will
be a large meeting, for there are many
patriotic women in New Haven, and of
course there will be an organization
that will do effective work, for there
are many women in New Haven who
are both patriotic and efficient. Such
organizations are being formed all over
the country. They will do much good.
The patriotic women of New Haven
will respond heartily and generously to
the call made upon them, and be glad

THE CUBAN INsURGENT ARMY.

THE CUBAN INSURGENT AKIN Y.
Our operations We're confined to the
province of Santiago de Cuba, q large
proportion of the inhabitants of which
are blacks, descendants of native Afri-
cans, imported in the days of slavery.
Most of the men are of medium stature,
with broad shoulders and well-develop-
ed muscles. They are peaceful in dis
position, seldom, if ever quarreling
among themselves, and are brave and
fearless in battle. AS no, attention has
been given by the Spanish authorities
to their education, less than one-quar-
ter of the country people in this prov
ince are able to read and write: but
they are gifted by nature with large
amount of intelligence. Their homes
are hardly more than roofs The fam
lilies are large, often numbering from
sixteen to eighteen. Children under five
years seldom wear clothing. Lamps are
almost unknown, candles being gener-
ally used.
Vegetables are plentiful, and meat is
now furnished to the families by the
project, an officer of the civil govern
ment appointed for each township to
protect and care for the families, also
to furnish horses, vegetables, and other
articles necessary for the troops in his
vicinity. AS the Cuban soldier relies
mainly upon vegetables, and, when the
enemy is not near at hand, often camps

A SOLOMON NEEDED.

There's nothing new under the sun,
said Solomon, and If Solomon were now
in Birmingham, Alabama, he might
have an opportunity to decide another
the one which helped make him famous.
Two women of Birmingham are claim
has a child, says it is her very own,
born on the 23d of last October, and
that any claim to it by any other per-
son is preposterous, and she cannot I'M
derstand it. But certain Mrs. Parks
is making just such a preposterous
claim and has had writ of habeas
corpus issued against Mrs Hooker and
has compelled the production of the
infant in court. Mrs. Parks claims
that when the child was born, about
a year ago, she was not prepared to
take care of it, and gave 1t temporarily
into the keeping of Mrs. Hooker. Now
she wants her baby, but Mrs. Hooker
refuses to surrender it.
The judge before whom the writ was
returned is not a Solomon, and being
much puzzled has postponed the trial
of the case. Medical expert testimony
is to be offered, and when that is in
perhaps the judge will be even more
puzzled than he is now.

MORE PATRIOTISM.

New Haven yesterday had another
hour of stirring patriotic emotion,
when the naval reserves marched
through the streets on their way to
camp at Mantle, under escort of vet
Grams of the Grand Army and several

fine appearance and they are ready to
do their full duty. Wherever they &c

good wishes of all Connecticut patriots
will follow them. Good luck to every

in the same place for weeks at a time,
it is necessary, in order not to exhaust
the supply to divide the forces into
small bands of from fifty to five hum
dred men, according to circumstances.
The vegetables chiefly used are green
plantains Ga banana, but not the vari-
ETY. sold in this markeD, green bananas,
sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and the nu-
tritious yucca. These vegetables are
either boiled or roasted on the Goals.
The camp is usually chosen in an
opening near a road, where fresh water
may be had and grass found for the
horses, the officers and assistants be-
ing, as a rule, mounted. If the camp Is
for a short time only, no huts are built;
but if it is expected to remain for sew
eral days, the soldiers erect small shell
tiers. A majority of the officers are
provided with a large piece of canvas,
which is stretched as a roof over their
hammocks. The hammocks are hung
to trees, or to posts driven into the
ground. Each soldier does his own
cooking, but each officer is attended by
an assistant. Fires are started with
flint and steel no matches being used,
except, perhaps, for a short time after
the capture of a town. The principal
re-wood is cedar.
The Cubans eat but two meals a day,
one about ii a. m, and the other about
g p. m. They often march by moon
light, and many of their attacks by are
made at night while the Spanish forces
never march or attack except by day.
In a Spanish camp the horses are not
unsaddled during the day, and at night
the men often do not remove their
clothing, and the entire camp is we'll

slit from hem to a point in front just
even with the hips down-curve. From
this the silk spread to shown an under
panel of frilled muslin. Three lines of
white lace insertion We're set on the
right side. The longest of these curved
from where the skirt separated, to the
front of the armhole. The next started
at the armhole and followed the first,
but ended below the waist line. The
last followed the others, but was much
the shortest. A slight inequality of
hips was thus adjusted, and a SUCCESS
ton of slenderness was given, At the
back the silk also spread below the
waist as in front. If the back is fiat
below the waist the spread should be-
gin higher in back than in front, and
the panel should be fluffy and full.
Another princess gown whose exac-
tions were slightly modified appears
here 1t was dark red cloth, hooked in
visibly in back and had deep yoke of
dark red taffeta covered with shirred
black chiffon. The yoke was bordered
with fine OPEN work black silk passe-
menterie, two rows Of the same outlin-
ing a tablier front and bordering the
hem. This trimming softened some
what the trial the gown is to the figure,
but not so much SO as did the model
first described.
In the other figure of this illustration
is put an overskirt effect that we ought
to welcome, since 1t has not the faults
of many other forms. These apron eff
fects are plentiful, too. This one was
attained by several rows of shirred
double chiffon the bodice having more
of it. The goods of this dress pale
green dimity plaided with fine pale blue
lines, the chiffon being beige color. At
the top was a tucked green taffeta
yoke, with stock collar to match.

designs that are permissible to figures

of correction and concealment in these
models are not great, and as it takes a
