Baskerville Citizen.)


Gen. Theo r. Davidson returned Sat
urday from a trip that included New
York city and several New England
points. Gen. Davidsn said to The Citi-
zen reporter when seen today:
Il was not near Saratoga, | had not
been invited. and | could not have gone
if had been. | knew nothing of any
such meeting. and have no idea there
was such meeting or consultation held.
My trip North was purely a personal
and private one, and had no connection
whatever with political matters. | did
accidentally meet one or two gentlemen
in New York who were prominent in po-
litical circles, and from them | learned
that the Democrats in New York are
IN high state of discipline and are
looking forward with great eagerness
and hope to the contest in 1900. They
seem to have no doubt whatever that
the Democratic party will win by a
very decided majority and while they
of course would prefer to have a New
York man at the head of the ticket
they assured me that whoever the nomi-
nee of the national Democratic conven-
ton may be he would have the united
support of the party, not only of the
State but of the city.
while in New England | had some
opportunity of ascertaining the senti-
ment of the conservative and cultivated
people who have always been Republi-
cans and who generally shape public
sentiment in that section. | was some
what surprised to find they were al
most unanimously opposed to the policy
Of the administration with respect to
the Philippines, and unless that policy
is changed and that country paciiied be-
fore the next presidential election |
would not be surprised to see ma
jority of the New England electoral
vote cast against the administration.
Business seems to be very active and
there is apparently great prosperity, but
| was told by careful observers that
there was not much confidence in its
continuance. The activity seems to be
confined to those products of manutac-
tories which are protected by the tarlh
and the trusts, and does not embrace
those large classes and sections of our
country which are engaged in the pro-
duction of the great staples, such as
corn. wheat, cotton, tobacco, rice, and
so on. These find no protection under
the tariff but are rather the victims of
it and the trusts. and do not share In
this neriod of prosperity"

FEVER on A BRITISH SHIP.
a Regiment of Cuban Cavalry to be
Formed Under American Officers.

Santiago de Cuba, August SThe
British steamer Sutherland, Captain
Percy Nibbs, from Philadelphia, July
goth, which arrived here yesterday from
Havana, from which port she sailed on
Sunday brought two cases of yellow
fever.
1t is said Captain Nibbs is dying. He
was i'll for two days before leaving Ha-
vana. Two other cases are suspected
in the ships company. The Sutherland
received only perfmctory examination
before leaving Havana and she will be
held here until all danger is passed. The
crew and the ship will be subjected
to the disimfecting process.
The American authorities are having
no trouble with the large number OF
Cuban soldiers now i'll the city to re-
ceive payment The merchants are doing
an excellent business. The restrictions
against drinking prevent disorder.
No new cases of fever were officially
reported today in the city and none have
developed among the American troops
within the last ten days. The local
Cuban physicians praise the effective
methods of the military governor, Gem
eral Leonard Wood, III fighting the cpl

Our Babies.

Our Babies.
Ninety degrees in the shade, and
while we are suffering from the heat
it must be much harder for the babies
unless they are properly dressed and
cared for. Have you plenty of shade
in your yard? If so, he will enjoy a
hammock hung between two trees un-
less he is large enough to fall out. A
heavy quilt spread out on the grass is
also an excellent place for him. Or if
trees are scarce, perhaps there is a
porch on the east side of the house
where he can play in the afternoon
secure from harm The coolest best
place about the house should Ibe set
apart for the little one.
I have just given my baby his bath,
fed him and set him on the floor with
a rubber rattle to amuse him. He has
on thin sleeveless shirt, calico slip
and a napkin. He is the picture of
health, while most of the babies in the
neighborhOOd have had attacks Of sum-
mer complaint, and I think his good
health has been the result of proper
care and feeding principally.
When 1 knew I could not nurse him,
we tried cows milk, oat meal, granum
and half dozen other things, but did
not find anything that would agree
with him except lactated food. Cows
milk sours quickly, and constantly
giving lime water with it is not a
good plan; then we can never he sure
the cow is perfectly healthy. After he
was six months old, I did not use a
nursing bottle, but found a small china
drinking cup with thin edges so much
better, and easier to keep clean. Of
course it is not as handy as to place a
child with a bottle in a crib, but the
food digests better when he is sitting
up. A drink of fresh water every hour
or two will be enjoyed when the gums
get hot and feverish as they always do
when he is teething. For the first six
months l fed him exclusively upon
lactated food, after that little oat-
meal, solt boiled rice, and the soft part
of baked apple scraped from the
skin is added. A little beef tea or
chicken broth is nourishing and palat-
able also. After he is a year old a
baby may have new milk and great
er variety of food.
Babies need plenty of light and air,
but be careful not to let the sun shine
directly into his face, as it Injuries the
eyes, and if you value his comfort, do
not wrap him in flannel until he is
broken out all over with heat. He
cannot help being cross under such
circumstances. To my mind there is
no picture so lovely as happy,
healthy, comfortable baby.

A HELPFUL CORNER.
For the Florida Agriculturist.

Gut out any decayed spots, as they
are sure to injure the flavor of the
fruit
Plums and peaches are skinned by
pouring boiling water over them, as
one skins tomatoes; the skins will slip
off very easily.
Over-ripe fruit makes favOrless jel-
ly, but for fine looking jars of pear
and peach one should select very ripe
fruit, ripe and juicy but not mealy.
Do not use fiavoring with well-favor-
ed fruit, but keep it for insipid pears,
watermelon rinds, citron and tomato
preserves; ginger and lemon are best
for fiayoring. Lemon in thin slices is
especially nice with citrOn and toma-
to (both green or ripe), but we seldom
use it with pears, preferring to bake
our favorless pears in deep earthen
dish, baking them five or six hours I'M
til they are a deep red, and float in a
dark red juice. No fiavoring is neces-
sary, and only little sugar, as the
long baking imparts the flavor
Jelly should be boiled rapidly and
should not be made in large quantities
if best results are desired.
When pairing great many peaches
or other fruit that becomes discolored
from exposure to the air, throw them
as soon as each is pared into very cold
water, which will keep them from
turning dark.
Fruit should not be boiled rapidly,
as it breaks it up, into mushiness; let
come to a boil, then set where it will
cook slowly and evenly, which il Ad-
dition lessons the danger of it's catch
ing to the bottom of the kettle.
Peach and cherry stones add to the
flavor of the fruit so should not be re-
moved, plum pits are also valuable in
this way.
See that the jars are absolutely
clean before sealing the fruit, especial
ly if they have been used about the
pantry as is often the case.
The safest way is to boil them out in
in a lot, using the clothes boiler and
immersing each jar in cold water, and
adding to each pailful of water used
one heaping tablespoonful of pearline;
this will make a good strong suds,
cleanse the glass thoroughly and by
boiling the jars ten minutes closely
covered no germs need be feared
Be careful to rinse them in hot, not
cold water, as you take them steaming
fromthe boiler. This process is very
beneficial to jars that have never been
used, as it is said to tougher them and
render them less susceptible to sud-
den changes from cold to hot.
Discard the rubbers that look
stretched; they are now so low priced
that one need not run the risk of los
ing a valuable jar of fruit for the sake
of saving a rubber.
Keep fruit and jellies in cool, dark
place, or if exposed to the light, slip
them into paper sacks, marking each
with name of fruit and the year it was
put up, and the light will not only be
excluded but the jar will he kept clean
Paraffine is used by many to keep

For Florida Agriculturist:
Useful knowledge.

The knowledge of how to do many
little things lis of great value to the
housekeeper, and will aid in lessening
labor.
The following suggestions will be
found useful in the household:
To stop cracks in floors make paste
of pound OF flour, glass of water,
and a quarter of a pound each of
powdered borax and alum; let boil two
or three minutes, add bits of newspa-
per to the mixture, let soak until a
pulp is formed With this paste fill
the cracks, pressing it in with knife,
smoothing it off, and then let dry. In
a few days the places will become
hard and tough.
To clean furniture which is very
much abused and soiled, mix warm
water and vinegar equal parts, dip a
flannel cloth in, and go all over each
article until we'll cleaned, then dry,
and rub over with linseed oil, after
which a good furniture polish may be
applied. The result will be very salts
factory.
To keep the cellar, ice box, and milk
house pure and free from unpleasant
odors in warm weather, sprinkle the
shelves with powdered boraX, and
place Jumps of charcoal around in cor
ners and cracks.
To sweeten fruit pies with less
quantity of sugar than fruit, add lit
tie baking powder to the juice; it will
neutralize the acid Of the fruit, and
tho sugar will r"tain it's sweetness.
To clean brass utensils with very
little labor, rub them with salt and
vinegar.
To keep flies off woodwork in the
kitchen, wash door and window
frames with water in which onions
are boiled
To remove coffee stains from nap
kins to table cloths, rub With the
yolk of an egg and glycerine, spread
lin the sun to dry, and wash through
warm pearline suds.
TO clean silver, plated ware, tin or
granite cooking vessels without labor,
fill a kettle with rain water, add two
tablespoonfuls of boraX, and a bar of
good soap. Set over the fire to boil
five minutes, put in the articles to be
cleaned. and let remain ten or fifteen
minutes, take out rinse in boiling wa
ter, and dry on clean cotton cloths.
Silver and other dining room and
kitchen belongings thus treated, will
look bright for several weeks
TO keep the hands smooth and
white when doing housework, wash
them in borax water, and dry them
in Oat meal.
To make icing for cakes without
eggs, soak tablespoonful of gelatina
in cold water for five minutes, add a
tablespoonful of boiling water, and q
cupful of powdered sugar, flavor, I'M
spread on the cake while warm.
