Cuba produces no tobacco for chew
ing or for pipe smoking. The Cubans
who smoke pipes might be counted on
ones fingers without making a second
round on the fingers. The cigar and
the cigarette prevail. To what extent
the Cuban cigarette might ever become
popular with American smokers is a
matter beyond determination. It is GER
tain that most Americans of prolonged
residence become, If they be smokers,
addicted to the Cuban brands and find
difficulty in weaving themselves back
to American brands on their return.

CARROT SOUP

Take or full grown carrots, of the
red sort, scrape them clean, and rasp
only the outer rind, or soft the red part
and if you have a single ripe tomato
add it, sliced, to the raspings, but use
no other vegetables except onions
While this is doing the broth of any
kind of fresh meat which has been got
ready should be heated and seasoned
with couple of onions fried in butter
but without pepper or any other kind of
seasoning, except a small quantity Of
mace and little salt. When all is
ready put the raspings into quarts of
the skinned broth, cover the stew pan
close, and let it simmer by the side of
the fire for 2 or hours, by which time
the rapsings will have become soft
enough to be pulped through a fine
sieve; after which the soup should be
boiled until it is as smooth as jelly, for
any curdy appearance will spoil it.

PLATT AMENDMENT.

HAVANA, March 29.-The meeting
held on Thursday by the committee on
relations of the Cuban constitutional
convention was not harmonious. Each
of the five members offered different
report. Senior Juan Gualberto Gomez,
who was appointed fortnight ago to
prepare one, submitted report of
great length, rejecting the Plat amend
ment. Senior Silva reported in favor
Of leaving the question OF relations to
the future government but he after
ward voted in favor of the report sub
mitted by Senior Gomez.
Senior Villuendss reported in oppos-
itiOn to any further action regarding
the matter by the convention. Senior
De Quesada, in his report accepted the
Platt amendment with the provision
that the establishing Of coaling stations
should not interfere with the internal
government of Cuba and that the Uni
ted States should be given the right to
intervene according to the treaty of Pa
ris, only when the Cuban government
should be unable to protect life and
property. Senior Tamayo's report was
in line with the Plat amendment, al
lowing the United States to make Gu
ba base of operations in case of war,
in return which the United States
should guarantee the permanent indie
pendence of Cuba, but should not in
tervene except at the request OF the
Cuban Congress.
Members of the committee said last
evening they would report to the con-
vention next Monday.

GREENS AND SALADS.
BY Mrs. Barbara Sadler.


Who is there who has not longing
for the peculiar bitter of the dandelon
or the flavor Of the spinach or beet
greens in the early days of spring? 1t
is Natures call for these green things,
and II is one we may happily cater to.
The American people eat too sparingly
OF green stulfs. The majority might
well omit one of the three meat meals
they now have and substitute vegetables
and salads in the place.
Outside of the general medicinal prop
critics of dandelions, spinach lettuce,
kale and the like (and it is admitted
they have these properties) they have n
special province at this season of the
year. No matter whether cooked in the
conventional style or served as salads,
the greens | have mentioned above are
beneficial.
The small blanched or pale green's of
the dandelion make one of the most APP
petizing salads ever eaten. Trim them
and drop them into ice water until
crisp, then drain well and cover with a
good French dressing. The tender
leaves in spinach may be treated in the
same way but are not so desirable.
The cooking of any kind of greens
should be careful one. Nine-tenths of
the spinach served is spoiled by over
cooking. Dandelions need to be cooked
a longer time, but even these greens
can be spoiled in that way. Let me
offer few suggestions along this line.

APPLE A LA TuROuE.

Pare and core a dozen good apples, put
them into basin with some thin syrup
and the yellow rind of a lemon; cover
closely, and simmer until they are soft
and clear Take them out and lay them
on a dish with wet white paper over
them; this will prevent them from dis
coloring. Now cover q dish with puff
paste, prick the bottom and bake it..
When the paste is done fill the holes
made by the removal of the cores of the
apples with raspberry jam, and arrange
them on the paste in the shape of n
cone. Beat the whites of six eggs to a
stiff snow, and add to them six ounces
of white sugar. Mix this gently, and
pile the meringue mass upon the apples.
Sift a little white sugar over it, and set
it in the oven until it is Of a light brown
color.

10 ROAST A LEG or PORK.

Get a small, tender leg of pork, not
very fat, and not more than about 6
lbs in weight Take out all the bone
leaving only the piece from the leg to
the first joint a sharp knife will be
required for this, and the meat cut care
fully all around the bone, which must be
pulled we'll forward, so as to get the
knife down to loosen it at the joint Fill
up all the parts where the bone was
with good stulling Ga little sage can be
mixed with the stufiing if liked; cut the
skin through in narrow lines across the
leg, and put it to roast and haste con-
stantly. 1t will take hours to roast
Serve with brown gravy and apple
sauce. This is an old-fashioned dish but
a good family one, if the pork is tender
and well cooked. The stutling should be
made with bread crumbs, parsley
chopped, salt, pepper, a small bit Of
onion chopped and boiled first; bind to-
gether with egg.

"BEEF"S HEART"

Secure a fresh beef heart" and with
a sharp knife remove the inside, being

and fry a light brown; add the meat,
season with pepper, salt, sage and a
ping of mixed allspice. Cook this thor
oughly and fill the heart. Sew the open
ing with coarse thread. Put to boil in
enough cold water to cover it, adding to
the water six large onions sliced. Boil
slowly three or four hours, or until it
can be easily pierced with a fork.
When done add to the gravy a slice of
stale bread previously soaked in water
and squeezed dry. To Serve:-Place the
heart in platter pour gravy around it
and slice. Serve boiled potatoes with
this.

Of pure wantonness which kicks in sea-
son and out of season, at everything or
at nothing as the case may be. The
torn kicker scarcely needs definition.
We know exactly what it means, as
we'll as we know the chronic Pathfinder
1t designates.
THE RISE OF THE KICKER.
Any one who cares to trace the rise Of
the kicker will find that he keeps pace
with the prevalent American disease,
dyspepsia. All kickers may not be
dyspeptics, but all dyspeptics are surely
kickers. They are everlasting fault
finders. Nothing goes right for them
In the family or In business. There Is
always dead fly in their ointment. 1t
Is a miserable condition for the dyspep-
tic and his friends. He really can't help
himself His nerves are strained to the
limit of endurance. His ears ara like
megaphones magnifying every little
sound to the shock Of thunder. His
eyes lose sense of perspective and he
sees mole-hills as mountains He is
suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and
obstinate and all these things are only
symptoms of the disease which is starv
Ing and weakening the entire nervous
system and reaching out toward heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs.
. WHAT CAN BE DoNE FOR HIMl
What can be done for the victim OF
dyspepsiai
He can be cured. He can be given a
new start in life. He can be made the
amiable, companionable man he was of
old. He can once more eat with APP
petite and enjoyment, work with energy,
and sleep the night through in sound
dreamless slumber.
This Is not a mere empty claim un-
supported by facts. The statement that
the dyspeptic can be cured is made on
the authority of thousands of men and
women, who have been entirely cured
