COOKERY IN CUBA.
Some of the Dishes Which Are Fam
o1s In the Island.

Some of the Dishes Which Are Fam
Gus In the Island.
So much has been said about the
starvation of the reconcentrados and
the hunger of the Cuban army that the
name of Cuba is not apt to awaken in
the American mind epicurean visions of
dainty dishes. II should be otherwise.
What is really incompHehensible to
people who have lived in Cuba, not
Withstanding the only too stern reality,
is that death from starvation should be
possible in country SO richly en-
lowed by nature.
The Cubans in normal times live well,
perhaps too well; they are gourmets,
and, as a people. are lavishly extrav-
agant on their table. The inner man
is catered to in preference to the outer.
1t seems almost as if the tropical sun
| created a craving for food with which
to balance the losses OccaSioned by the
extreme heat. Meals are served as they
are in Europe on the cOntinent-that is,
coffee or chocolate and rolls in the
morning, substantial breakfast at
noon, and dinner in the evening. AS
the afternoons are long and hot, some
cooling drink is generally taken at
about 8 o'clock.
The chief defect of the Cuban diet
] is an excessive consumption of meat
and rich sauces, but this fault, like
most others, is an Inheritance from
Spain, which colonized the island and
! Laid the foundation of its cookery, just
as England did of the American cook
cry The Spanish cuisine is strong and
repulsive ia American palates-reeking
with oil, garlic, onions and red pepper
| These ingredients are by no means to
| be despised, but they should not be
abused, and in the Cuban kitchen they
are employed with moderation.
The markets of Havana are well
supplied; the eggs and the poultry,
which is corn-fed, are excellent; the
fish from the Gulf of Mexico are re-
nowned for their flavor, and, not being
kept on ice, are superior to those to
be had in New York. American vege-
| tables are better, but there is much ia
choose from in Cuba, andfruit abounds
| in great variety.
! Wealthy Cubans copy their menus
after the pattern set by France. Among
| the middle classes are found number
of purely creole dishes, the most char
acteristic of which is the ajiacO, an
evolution of the Spanish ola podrida.
! The Spanish estimate of this prepare
ton is shown by the adage, After
God, the OLA" 1t is a kind of soup OF
stew into whose composition enters a
| little of everything.

Needlework Guild.

The annual collection of garments
for the Needlework guild was made on
Monday. Oct. 81, resulting in a total
collection of 1,S49 new garments.
The business meeting was held Tues
day afternoon Nov. l, at 80 South
Main street, in the building kindly
loaned by the q. c. NJ. I. for the pur-
pose, at which time the requests for
needy families We're received and the
allotments made to them, and to the
various institutions which the guild
has assisted for the last six years. On
Wednesday morning the garments
were distributed and sent to their des-
tinations, as follows:
To private families, IA; to st. AIMS
| orphanage (67 inmates), 215; to Or
phan's home, State street Us inmates)
100; to Young Ladies' Aid society, IS;
to Cornelia Paddock home, n; to Dams
Deaconess home, 60; to st. Anthony's
guild, 70; total, 1,349.
This is the smallest collection made
by the guild during the six years of
its existence, and it seems discouraging
that the many needy must suffer from
the lack of response from the individ-
ual; a response which means to the in
dividual but a small outlay, but brings
to homes made cherries and miserable
| by poverty so much warmth and COM
fort.
The guild resumes it's work for an
other year under the leadership of Mrs
o. J. Salisbury, honorable president

Hoyt Sherman, secretary; Mrs. c. w

about the garbanzo. 1t is known in the
south as the chick pea and is the ty-
picaI grain of Spain, and the home Of
the bull-6ghter is called the land Of
the garbanzos." As for the ajiaco, it
is prepared much in the same way as

or chicken.Nbut instead of the northern
vegetables, tropical ones are substi-

squash or calabash, corn and herbs
Although entirely different from any
thing eaten here, the ajiaco, and espec-
tally its broJn, is, as a rule, relished
by Americans.
Rice is a staple article of food in

quantities; in fact, no meal is COM
