Growth of Santiago Trade.

Washington. Jan. 6.-The trade of
Santiago is already showing a surpris-
ing growth under American admins
tration. General Wood has submitted
a report to the war department in
which he states that the policy of nom
discriminative intercourse extended TO
the vessels of all nations in Santiago
province has greatly facilitated the re-
establishment of commercial relations
and has been one of the chief features
in the restoration of comparative pros
perity in commerce, industry and as
riculture. Outward cargoes of sugar
and other products are being gradual
ly found for shipping, but expectations
from the mines of the province have
contributed the bulk of the exports.
THE fact" says General Wood, that
the mines were put into operation at an
early date after the capitulation of
Santiago, was important in that the
employment of large numbers of ma
tives during a critical period was slim
ulated by the facilities for shipping

cludes: - Il
I'VE not only protest against reopen

ton, but we petition that the general
government now adopt a definite, per-

Troops will Land.

New York, jan. GA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
gunboats Concord and Petrol, sent to
Iloilo by Admiral Dewey to cooperate
with the cruiser Baltimore in support
of the army expedition, are the 1ightest
draught vessels in his fleet, but have
powerful batteries of six-inch rifles and
rapid-tire guns which make them among
the most useful vessels in the fleet.
After they are no longer needed at
Iloilo they will continue to cruise
among the southern islands Of the arch
ipelago, where American jurisdiction
has not yet been established.
Confidence is expressed at the war de-
partment that General Miller will land
all the troops from his transports by the
end of this week. 1t has been decided
that close confinement of the troops on
shipboard for over a week would have
a damaging effect on their health and
spirits, which cannot be permitted, and
therefore General Miller will seek to en-
ter negotiations with the insurgents
after landing. In any event, however,
according to the present understanding,
the troops will be landed without fur

Business Failures Small.

New York, Jan. 6.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The situation is one
of quiet, sustained STRENGTH. Annual
trade inventories have occupied atten-
ton in the Wholesale districts and dis
tribution in this branch is therefore of
only seasonable proportions. Retail
trade reflects the quieting down of the
eager demand ruling before the hol
days, but it is significant that the re-
ports received since Jan. / in this and
in the wholesale branch refer to cellec-
tons as almost uniformly good. Ex-
port trade, particularly in cereals, con-
tinues well up to maximum figures,
while reports from the new great in
dustries Of the country are favorable.

NAMING THE BABY.
Queer Customs and Practices That
Obtain in Various Countries.

From the Detroit Free Press.
In some countries curious customs pre-
vail in regard to selecting a name for the
baby. A Hindoo baby is named when 1t is
twelve days old, and usually by the mother
Sometimes the father wishes for another
name than that selected by the mother
In that case two lamps are placed over the
two names, and the name over which the
lamp burns the brighter is the one given
to the child.
In an Egyptian family the parents choose
name for their baby by lighting three
wax candles; to each of these they give a
name, one of the three belonging always to
some dignified parsonage. The candle that
burns the longest determines the name for
the baby.
The Mohammedans sometimes write de-
sirable names on five slips of paper and
these they place in the Koran. The name
upon the slip first drawn out is given TO the
child.
The children of the Amos people living
in northern Japan, do not receive their
names until they are five years old. 1t is
the father who then chooses the name by
which the child is afterward called.
. The Chinese give their boy babies name
in addition to their surnames, and they
must call themselves by these names until
they are twenty years old At that age the
father gives his son a new name.
The Chinese care little for their girl
babies that they do not give them a baby
name but just call them No. l, No =, No.
3, according to their birth.
Boys are thought so much more of in
China than girls that if you ask a Chinese
father who has both boy and girl how
many children he has he will always reply:
"Only one child"
German parents sometimes change the
name of their baby if he is ill, and the
japanese are sure to change the name of a
child four times.

movar" Plays. the principal part, and a
word or two of explanation will not be
amiss The "samovar' is the utensil used
only for boiling the water. They are usual
iy made OF brass or copper, but there are
also silver samovars, the inside being lined
with another metal. In the middle there is
a kind of chimney or fire receptacle around
which fresh cold water Is poured into the
samovar. Burning charcoal or wood is
thrown into the chimney, and it usually
takes about a quarter of an hour before
the water begins to boil this being an
nounced by volume of steam from under
the cover. Then the boiling water is poured
upon the tea in the pot, and the latter
placed on the top of the samovar to keep
warm, as tea-coseys are unknown in Rus
sia. The infusion is made very strong, but
only about a fifth or quarter of a glass is
filled with it. the rest being filled up with
the boiling water. slice of lemon milk
is added according to taste, and sugar is
put into the glass. or used "v prikusku."
There is no respectable household in
Russia without one more samovars. The
utensil is turned out by the million. Tula,
the Russian Sheffield, is particularly
famous for the production of this article.
The samovar is in use three four times
day; in some houses. indeed. it is kept
boiling the whole day long. The samovar
may be really termed the Russian hearth
and fireside. Around it the family and
guests assemble. drinking tea and chatting
for hours. Its steaming and cheerful hum
ming are as music to the Russian ear. ac-
eustomed as 1t is to the sound from earliest
childhood. Even when leaving their native
soil for far-distant lands, when luggage
has to be reduced to minimum. the indis-
pensable samovar is rarely left behind. and
in the new countries of their adoption it
forms frequently melancholy link with
the past

THE ENTREE AN ECONOMY.
1t Dul1s the Eaters Appetite for the
Dinner Proper.
From Harper's Bazar

rTom BaZar.
In the French and Italian cuisine. where
economy is studied far more scientifically
and thoroughly than in the English or
American kitchen, the entree is not con-
sidered an extravaganza. On the contrary.
it is looked upon rather as an attractive
economy-lke soup, which dulls the eaters
appetite so that he partakes less heartily
of the more costly meat course that follows.
On the continent the luncheon never begins
as with us, with the chief dish of sub
stantials. There is an Introduction in the
shape of soup, or a dish of eggs, or of
rice, or of macaroni, or Semolino prepared
IN IN an appetizing mode. Upon this the
luncher tries the first edge of his appetite
SO to speak. The piece de resistance comes
afterward
In the same manner, at dinner the soup
is almost invariably followed by one or
two entrees. In the more ambitious menus
these may consist of fish poultry, or
even of meat prepared in croquettes or
rissoles, or vol-au-vent If there are two
entrees. the vegetable will come second.
But when, as is the case at many cables,
there is only one entree, this is nearly al
ways vegetable and is served directly
after the soup
1t must be borne in mind that thu old
fashioned custom which prevailed SO gen
orally some years ago in America, and is
still to be found in certain places, of serv-
ing a number of vegetables with the prin-
cipal meat dish is rot followed on the con-
tinent. In England it is not unusual to see
half a dozen dishes of vegetables appear
with the roast. There they have even less
idea of variety than is common with US.
for precisely the same vegetables are Of
fered day after day, until one grows weary
of the very sight of them. This, of course,
is not the case among those people who
have made study of dinner giving and
have grated French customs on the Brit
ish stock.
On the continent, however, things are
done in different fashion. At a simple
dinner, containing, let say, five courses,
the first will be soup: the second a veg
et2blc entree; the third, meat of some kind.
with one, or at the most two, vegetables.
and one of them rarely fails to be a salad.
Then comes sweet and after it fruit or
cheese The vegetable that appears as an
entree need not of necessity be costly or
unusual Perhaps it is only a caulifiower

leaves coarsely chopped but minced to a
powder and then put through a colander.
so that it is deliciously smooth and soft
before it is dressed with butter or cream
and surrounded with three-cornered bits of
toast or fried bread. Or the entree may be
nothing more elegant than white turnipS or
young carrots cut into small pieces stewed
tender and served with a cream sauce: or
celery divided into three-inch lengths fried
brown and seasoned with a tomato gravy.
The name of the combination is legion but
they all have one point in common-that
they are comparatively inexpensive.
