Most people who have travelled in the

says that the women there have diyrov-
cred this agreeable method of Kidding
their homes of the pest. In London It
is possible to get the wood prepared for
this purpose. but here ii is mol so eayy,
as American women have not vet taken
to the practice. Now that the festive
fly and the merry mosquito are about
to make their appearance. housewives
might doas we'll to give the sant!awooda
trial. SanGalwood can be Bought at al
most any Turkish or japanese import
ing house. 1t is prepared for burning
by first being cut into small pieces half
an inch thick and three irches long.
Then it is baked or dried out in slow
oven for "a hours. \ piece OF the wood
is put into metal urn, lighted and al
lowed TO burn until well aflnmp when
the flame is PXtinguished and the red
hot ember left TO smolder until the
wood is consumed and nothing is left
but heap Of fine gray ashes. During

OTHERS MAY RECOGNIZE CUBA.

Southern Republics and Britain Would
Follow Our Example.
There has been much discussion in
Washington during the last few days on
the question of the attitude of foreign
powers in the event of the recognition OF
the independence Of Cuba by the United
States. The President has been told that
many, if not all, the Southern republics
would recognize the independence of Cuba
simultaneously with the United States,
and although no official declaration, as far
as can be a~scertained, has yet come from
Great Britain on that point the earnest
desire of that country to avert war be-
tween the United States and Spain will,
it is believed, induce her to promptly fol
low any action in this direction which may
be taken by this country.
Approaching, as they do, that such joint
action would be one of the strongest guar
antees against war, the administration
officials are naturally anxious that other
countries should follow our course in rec
ognizing the new republic.
