From Modern MEXICAN

II.
AS all cooking is done with charcoal ana
ovens are practically unknown in private
houses, very few families bake bread. The
small hard-crusted loaves of French bread
are delivered all over the city in great
baskets four feet across that are carried
ON the heads of cargadores.
The arrangement of furniture is much
more formal than in the United States. Ii
Is very common sight to see a splendidlv
furnished parlOr with a row of straight
backed chairs all alike with their backs
against the wall and as close together as
they can he placed clear around the room.
Heavy, single doors, such as are used in
the United States, are practically un-
known In Mexican houses either at en-
frances or between interior rooms All
doors open in the middle and are fastened
with bolts top and bottom. Exterior doors
are always fitted with glass panels. for
they also serve as windows All such doors
opening on the street or open court are
htted with solid shutters that are folded
at the sides out of sight when not in use.
A good Mexican cook relieves the mis-
tress of the house of worry and responsi-
bhlty in manner that is almost unknown
an the United States. The cook is given
so much a day and with this amount she

either the troops or the fleet in the vi
SinHy Of Santiago.

with the fact that nothing has been re-
ceived by the war department from Gen.
Shafter IS taken by officials of both de
partments to mean that no engagement IN
the least way serious has occurred since
the landing of the forces.

WHILE Spain is performing hel
acts of treachery against a quos,
friendly power, the Cuban patriots
are fighting with more energy and
more success than they have ever done
since the commencement of the war
on that Island. They are now better
equipped with arms, ammunition, and
munitions of war than they have ever
been AID victory after victory has
perched upon their standard, and all
that the Spaniards can do is to sit
around and snarl, and plan acts of
brutal cruelty and treachcry to those
they believes will not strike back. The
wild negro in the jungles Of Africa
may be brutal; the inhabitants of the
South Sea Islands NAV be cruel;
Oriental diplomacy may be filled with
treachery, but add all these qualities
together and put them into one word
and then multiply it by a thousand
fold add call that word "Spaniard"
and we have an estimate of the
monsters which now go by that
name.

reading matter, and every paragraph is
devoted to some subject that is of vital
interest TO the amateur, the farmer, the
florist or the professional gardner OF
