War Notes.

Since war was declared last SATURDAY.
United States war vessels have captured
flve Spanis merchant ships OF various
sizes, but some of considerable value.
The most important event OF the week
was the presidents 5 call for lie, ,0OO volnu-
teers, which are being furnishod with
remarkable promptness by tho different
states. Colorado's quota is one reGi-
ment Of infantry and one light battery.
These troops are now being mobolized
at Denver and will be ready for service
as soon as the government needs them.
Last nights Denver papers contained
accounts of the first actual hostilities.
Admiral Sampson returned the fre Of
the forts and batteries in Matanzas
barbor, and after eigteen minutes en-
gaeement siienced the Spanish nre and
destroyed their works. l as
Matanzas is an important port near
Havana, and landing will probably be
effected there to-day.

Economy Versus Indigestion.
In some houses the one good meal of
the week is on Sunday. What is left
from that day has to be warmed, re-
warmed, hashed, and stewed till one is
weary of the very sight of it. The re-
suit is loss of appetite, followed by
illness; and finally resort to medicine
and the doctor, which is surely not
economy. There should be changes in
the kind of food as well as in the method
of cooking. For this reason. If it can be
avoided, no more should be cooked at
one time than is intended to be eaten at
one neal. The real art lies, not in cook
ing large pieces of meat, or in baking a
cake, bread, or pastry, but in preparing
one kind Of food in many different ways,
and IN utilizing everything so that there
Is no waste. Todo this the housewife
must know how to convert all that may
be left from one meal into savory and
palatabe dishes for the next; she must
know how to combine herbs and spices
in such . way that all the ingredients
are harmoniously blended, and no one
thing predominates to cook vegetables
so that they will retain their natural
flavor. and meat 80 that nothing of its
nutritive value is lost.-From "Wise and
Unwise Economies, )" by Gesine Lemcke.
