LOVE YOUR LOVER.
May Do for Friendship,
But Marriage Absolutely De-
mnnds Love.

Intimate acquaintance, congeniality
of tastes and purposes, respect, adj
miration, material and social advance
ment-all these may appeal at some
time to the young woman or the young
man as furnishing the possible material
for q prosperous venture into matri-
mony. But to those of us who are on
this side of married life, with years of
experience to give US insight, there
never was greater fallacy. l would
say to all young women (and would
l had the tongues of angels to say IL
as 1 should: "Love your lover or do
not marry him." Respect and admira-
ton may do for friendship; marriage
absolutely demands love. You remem-
Der that when the apostle Peter sums
up the qualities that go to make the
perfect Christian character he does not
begin by urging the necessity OF faith.
He assumes its existence at the start
He says: add to your faith, virtue;
and to virtue, knowledge" 1t Is as
il he would have us know that faith
is not TO be regarded simply as an
adornment to the Christian character
1t is a prerequisite. 1t is the atmos-
phere in which the Christian life has
its breath and being. So it is with love
when the time comes to settle the
gravest questioned life.-Helen Waiter
son Moody, in Ladies Home journal.

AMERICAN CEDAR.

Star reporter, land my visit to this
country this time is to make some con-
tracts for supply of the same. l am
interested in sawed lumber of all kinds,
the greater part of which of course we
obtain in Europe. The American pine
and cedar, however, have to be secured
here Nine-tenths Of the lead pencils
used in the world are manufactured Of
American cedar, large part of which
is grown in Florida. Some so-called
American manufactured lead pencils
are made in Europe, but the cedar from
which they are made all comes from
this country. Itis shipped TO Europe in
convenient sized logs and manufac-
tured in proper shape after 1t arrives
there. There are u number Of cedars
throughout the world, but the Florida
cedar is particularly valuable in the
manufacture of lead pencils. 1t is of
fine structure, the grain being hardly
distinguishable, and can be worked up
to the last inch. In the various grades
of the cheaper pencils other cedars can
be used, but for the finer goods the
American cedar is exclusively used.
For all practical purposes all the pen
ellis used in Europe are manufactured
of Florida cedar. Much of the lead,
plumbago and graphite which is used
in them also comes from this country.
There are number Of woods in Europe
that are used in the manufacture of
matches, but the American pines are
gradually wedding them all out, for the
reason that the American pines can be
handled and worked at less expense
than any other woods. The amount of
wood consumed in matches amounts to
two or three forests OF trees day, but
even with this consumption hardly any
inroad has been made, for the growth
more than keeps up the supply. The
American match, as we'll as the wood,
now goes to all parts of the world. The
business is simply enormous, and it is
constantly on the increase. Washing

SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO.
Gen. Skaters Description of the
Close of the Campaign in
Eastern Cuba.

AS witnesses of the ceremony of sur
render, 1 took the general officers with
their stats, and guard of 100 men.
Gen. Toral brought out with him his
general officers and stats and a body Of
troops of the same number. Gen. Lud-
low had given me the sword and spurs
taken from the body of Gen. Vara del
Rey, who had been killed in the defense
of Ell Caney, and requested me to give
them to Gen. Toral During the inter
view prior TO the declaration of sur
render 1 handed Gen. Toral the sword,
informing him of the circums tances
and the request from the officer who
had secured it that it be taken back by
Gen. del Rey's companions to his home
in Spain, and given to his family. The
presentation of these articles was en-
tirely unexpected by Gen. Toral, and as
I spoke in English it was not until the
translation was completed that he fully
realized what l was doing. He then
showed a great deal of feeling; in fact,
he could hardly speak, as his emotions
nearly overpowered him. lie received
the sword and spurs and handed them
to one of his staff, all of whom were
equally surprised and gratifed.
Gen. Toral then made the formal

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Some of the Gowns and Wraps That
Are Announced for the Spring
Season.

The frills and graduated founces
added to the fur capes and cloal<s OF the
season do not in theleast enhance their
rich appearance; on the contrary, the
arrangement suggests a compromise
with fashion and look as if the addition
had been made to lengthen cut the gar
ment. Plated and crumpled-top fur
rufles arching from shoulder to shout
der, give humpiness to the figure that
is most undesirable though unfortu-
nately fashionable; and those who de-
nounce distending steel springs and
canvas and buckram are made to- groan
under the weight of massed skirt ruff
les, frills, ruches, plaitings and draper
les, which produce a similar spreading
effect.
Among the tailors and modistes
angles seem to have been wholly dis
pensed with. Every jacket, coat, cape,
tunic, founce-in short, every garment
that admits it, is rounded and sloped at
its edges. Indoor toilets and street
costumes are alike shaped on this prin-
ciple, and even some of the jackets made
with short Elton fronts have arched
basques of great length dipping at the
back. Sometimes the basque is cut in
one with the waist portion like an Eng
lisb walking coat, cut away on the
fronts; again tits added, sloping gradu-
ally backward in polonaise style.
Stylish street gowns for next season
are made of handsome lightweight,
smooth-fnished costume cloth, with
simple decorations of stitched straps
of the same material, tailor buttons and
fine silk cord. Very many Of the skirts
are cut in circular shape, faring con-
siderably at the foot. The plaits at the
back are closely underfolded, and the
skirt fastens there or else on the left
side of the front under concealing
straps. The basque bodice is very short,
very chic and feminine in appearance,
and there is choice between double
breasted, closely buttoned model, one
open down the front and framed with
graceful revers, shape cut out in the
neck, with fancy silk or other gimp
above, or an Elton style with short back
and tabled fronts. Many of the French
Jackets cut in double-breasted style
are very much cut away on the fronts,
which on the upper part close diagonal

TIE OLD ROCKING CHAIR.

Il stands over there in the corner alone,
It's varnish is cracked and one rocker is
gone;
What's left of its tidy Is dusty and brown
And scattered and silent its fringes hang
down;
No songster appeareth to MARBLE It's praise,
When we were but children II saw Its best
And many face that was rosy and fair
Reposed after play in the old rocking
chair.
How often in 1t in the winter nights cold
The tales OF the fairies by nurses were
told;
How often we listened with kiss-bedewed
To lullaby strains that we hear even now;
Aye, far in the past with its sunshine and
shade

ers made;
And now as listen willingly share
The loves of the years with the old rocking
chair.
She rests where the roses their love vigils
Who tond:y and tenderly rocked me to
sleep;
But still. when look in the corner, trace
Within the old rocker q well-cherished
face;
The years that have vanished no more to
return
But deeper the joys Of childhood inurn,
And thus doth the past with halo most
RecrOwn with its beauty the old rocking
chair
No longer to music now fast and now slow
At morning and evening II moves to and
fro;
No more from It's depths where sweet
memories throng
With an angelic touch comes a lullaby
song;
tbs covered with dust. but the dust can
not hide
The prints Of the hands that will ever
abide
Upon the old arms so reposeful and fair,
When memory turns to the old rocking
chair.

KITCHEN POTS AND PANS.
Modern Cooking Utensils Are Not
Very Durable-PointA to Con-
slider,

There has been great change In
cooking since those primitive days
when the kneading trough OF bowl of
wood, the kettle that hung over the
open fire and the earthenware or clay
pipkins were the only kitchen dishes.
The invention of stoves has filled our
kitchens with multitudes of pots and
pans inferior to the old ones, which
lasted lifetime, and sometimes several
generations. Modern utensils of the
best kind will not bear such test.
In the rush to obtain variety in cook
ing utensils the special use to which
the dish is to be put and the fitness of
the material of which it is made for
the purpose for which tits designed are
often overlooked. A pot intended for
slow cookery, like one for cooking dried
fruits or vegetables, should be made
of thick earthenware. One intended for
cooking meats should be first of all q
good conductor of heat, therefore
copper kettle will do the work of pre-
pairing a stew or praised dish more ex-
peditiously than pot of iron. Iron is
a wholesome metal, but it is so heavy
thatit ought to be discarded for kitchen
purposes whenever it can be, as it is an
Indifferent conductor of heat. Copper
is also heavy, but it is such an excellent
heat conductor that it is generally en-
ployed by expert cooks for all superior
cooking, baking dishes as well as pots
and saucepans. In aluminium we have
the ideal metal Of the kitchen. 1t is
good conductor of heat, and tits ideally
light in weight and does not become
furnished, as copper and all other met
ais do. The price of aluminium still
keeps it out of the reach of many
kitchens, but the time must soon come
when all obstacles to its manufacture
at low price will be done away with,
and the kitchen of the poorest woman
in the land viii be furnished with shin
ing lightweight kitchen pots and pans
equal to those of kings palace.-N.

Here's telegram just come for
you, and Miss Doris says will you go
up directly and see her; she's in the lit
tie sitting-room." So said one of the
maids to the groom going on with his
usual work in the stables now that the
first excitement and talk had worn
themselves out.
Subtle fattery was in the girls
glance and tone, but this, her first
chance ofhero worship, maybe availed
her nothing.
It's object hastily tore open the tele-
gram; read it, crushed it into his
pocket, then made straight for the door
into the house, and went on toward the
little room she had spoken of.
Miss Doris, alone therein, flushed and
fair, with shining eyes, rose to receive
him, coming forward with outstretched
hands.
"How can I ever thank you?" she
said, and her voice was low and thrill
ing. "You-you saved my life, and I
what can I do for you in return? Sure
ly there is something? You need only
ask"
Her eyes fell, her cheeks paled a lit
tie, her hands taken by him perforce
for one moment, but only to be dropped
the next like live Goals, clasped them
selves nervously together.
What would he ask? A kiss OF her
lips perhaps, or-her foolish girls
heart beat with great throbs-if maybe
he dared more, spoke of love, would
she? could she?
He, too, twisted his hands, cleared
his throat, then spoke at last.
"Well, miss, if you would be so good,
really, you could do me very great
kindness this very day. You see, I'm
married, but we've kept it dark, my
wife and me, because she was in a shop
and didn't want to lose her place if pos
sible, but now," here the groom grew
very red and pulled the crushed tele-
gram out of his pocket, "but now-wen,
miss, there's a baby; she's with my
mother, and they're doing well, she and
the little one, but it's 20 miles away,
and she will be wishing to see me,
know. If you would speak to Sir John
for me, maybe he'd let me have few
days holiday just 10 go and see her.
