GENERAL CALt<TO
 GARCIA

gineers, General Costello and Lieuten- ant Miley and Admiral Sampson"
 At that moment Cervera at Santiago and General Blanco at Havana were the most deeply concerned Spaniards in all Cuba. The fate of Spain was being decided. The chief factor in the coun- cil of war so far as the Cuban cause was concerned, was General Garcia. A great change had come to him since he was a hunted fugitive in the dark days of the revolution. Those who know him best acknowledge his lofty courage and commanding ability.
 Richard Harding Davis described him as bidding good-by to the American generals, Hooking, with his beard and mustache of the Third Empire, like a marshal of France"
 What is the life history of this de- voted patriot-this intrepid hero of Cuba's war for liberty?
 General CaliXto Garcia, by birth a Cuban, formerly a resident of New York, is about 59 years old, decidedly

Later, when the provisional govern ment for some reason not clearly ex- plained, removed Gomez, Garcia suc- ceeded him. Finding that Juguani had, meanwhile, been retaken by the Span iards, he proceeded to capture 1t again. He. next took Holguin, the town where the revolution was originally organ ized. Other victories rapidly followed
 At the obstinate all day battle Of Santa Maria, in 1869, he followed Won Moltke's tactics at Sedan-surrounded the enemy's army and forced the sur render of General Vingues and his men. They were well treated and given free dom.
 So grateful were they for the unex- pected clemency that one of the off, cers. General Rosales, on returning to Spain, issued 8 pamphlet extolling the generosity of Garcia. But victory did not always follow the Cuban eagles. September 1S73 brought reverses.
 In the absence of his main forces,

Garcia with his guard of twenty men was surrounded by 800 Spaniards and, when at the last moment capture was inevitable, rather than surrender and die of torture, Garcia fired his pistol into his mouth, and fell among his dead comrades. The Spaniards carried him to Manzanillo in triumph, also thinking him dead. To the amazement of Span ish doctors and generals, Garcia re- vived, although the bullet had pene- trated his palate, following the line of his nose and emerging from his fore head.
 It seemed a miracle that the general lived. Then 1t was equally surprising that, recovering, he escaped execution. But he was spared and imprisoned at Valencia and Santona, in Spain.
 Fortunately for Garcia, General Cam pos, Governor General of Havana, was not vindictive. for when peace was de- clared In 1877, Premier Canovas freed him at the cabled request of Campos.

FASHIONS FOR BABY.
Considered in the Making of
His Clothes.

Fashions in babies clothes seem
rather amusing. but there are changes
each new season in the manner and
details of the making. As far as the
outlay of money goes, there is hardly
limit to the amount it is possible TO
spend. but daintiness is the chief fea-
ture TO be consideration the par
ents' circumstances and common sense
should surely limit the expenditure.
From six to ten long dresses COM
pose the usual outfit, some of them
simply made, some deliberately
trimmed. 1t is now the fashion TO
change the little ones from long to
short clothes at as early an age as
four months. French nainsook is the
favorite material for the finer dresses.
Just now the inevitable yoke in the
baby's gown is cut square, not quite
extending over 10 the arm size, and
edged with a frill and beading. For
the filling in of the yoke there are
two pretty ways, both equally popu-
lar. One is rows Of hemstitched tucks.
running from the neck downward, the
other alternate rows Of lace and en-
broidery insertions, the embroideries
being often almost as fine and as trans
parent as the lace
A pretty bib has scalloped upper
edge Of shaped silk, trimmed on both
upper and lower edges by full deep
rufile of silk lace. The upper part is
hand embroidered, and between the
outer and inner bib is placed tufted
silk heart-shaped pad of silk Another
is made from fine linen hemstitched
handkerchief, folded diagonally-the
upper point is cut out V shape and
embro;dered--and both edges lace
trimmed.
Night gowns are made from fine fan
mel or outing and have a drawing
string around the neck. Petticoats
are of fine flannel and button on each
shoulder by two tiny buttons instead
of down the back.
Little caps of lawn show much shir-
ring and cording, aud some, especially
those of embroidered muslin. have a
lining of pale shade of thin silk
The most fashionable thing in ba-
bies' shoes and stockings, for wear
with the first short dresses, are gray
suede shoes and stockings matching
exactly in color.
Pretty coats of bedford cord have
deep circular ruffles trimmed with
guipure lace edging. In shorter coats,
pretty model in pique has a very deep
rounding collar trimmed entirely with
rows of Hamburg edging alternated
by rows of satin ribbon.
A design in a bedford cord short
coat has three deep circular capes,
each one edged with guipure lace.
For the basket covering, sheer white
lawn over pink or blue is the latest,
the point d'esprit being also used. The
ruffie is trimmed with lace and rows
of baby ribbon and the Jennings and
seams are finished by a narrow lace
beading through which is run ribbon.

SCIENCE OF THE TOILET.
How the women of To-day Manage
to Preserve "A Youthful Appear
ance for Decades.

The modern maiden has learned in
an exquisite way the science of the
care of her person; she does not early
acquire wrinkles, neither does sh. lose
her hair, nor so early have to bear the
signs of advancing years by its turn
ing gray. The secret, for such it is.
of this preservation is one that all
women should know; it surely is more
charming for the world to axe upon a
fresh youthful face than upon a shriv-
eled one, and upon an abundance of
locks than upon too scanty a growth
to even cover the head. Begin the day
with cold or tepid sponge bath, fol-
lowed by a vigorous rubbing with
rough towel. This starts the circula-
ton into almost a bound and does
much to preserve the plumpness of
face, neck and arms, beside rendering
colds almost impossible. An occasion

followed by a sponging in cold water,

quently than twice a week, as hot
baths are enervating and encourage a
loose. fabby condition of the skin.
After the hot bath at night cold cream
or lanolin is rubbed vigorously into the
face or, if there are signs of yellow
spots. zinc oxide ointment is substi-
tuted. The face is washed each morn
ing with handfuls of hot water, then
Immediately with colo water, thus
stirring the circulation and aiding in
keeping the muscles plump. The face
is then rubbed gently up and down and
across with both hands-a dry wash,
in fact-rubbing particularly any
wrinkling across the forehead. This
tory to the appearance for the day.
Wrinkles develop by a lack of supple
ness and plumpness of the skin, and
they may be kept at bay many years
by careful massage. The hair receives
especial attention on the part of the
assiduous maiden, and particular care
is paid to the roots, for one should
know that if they are healthy the
growth will be satisfactory. And she
wears her hair much more loosely
than does her less diligent companion,
for she believes that the air greatly
preserves its growth. Each day the
hair is separated at the roots and the
air allowed to freely circulate through
it. 1t is a serious error to worship the
brush, and treat the scalp in such a
way as to weaken and kill the roots.
For victims of the brush it is easy
to point to many men, who daily brush
and brush-the sitter the implement
the better. Badness is the certain
outcome. A fne-toothed comb is like
wise stunned as an enemy to the roots
of the hair. In warm weather it is
prudent to wash the hair with a
preparation containing alcohol. which
dries the scalp and renders perspira-
ton less profuse, this unpleasant fea-
ture of the summer affecting the roots
Of the hair most alarningly. Very
oily hair is washed with a shampoo
containing sulphur, while a very dry
scalp is treated 10 a light application
of cream or lanolin.-Edna 5. Wither-
