Nationalist Candidate May Get
Unanimous Vote for President.
Havana, Jan. 1.-The indications are
that the entire Palma ticket will be
elected, and that Thomas Estrada Pal
ma, the Nationalist candidate for the
presidency of Cuba. will receive the
unanimous vote of the electoral col
lege.
The adherents of Gen. Bartolome
Maso (the Democratic candidate, who
recently withdrew from the campaign
not only withdrew their candidates,
but refused 10 go to the polls.
A remarkably light vote was polled
throughout the island. La Discussion,
ascribes this Indifference to the cer-
tainty on the part of the Palmaists Of
being victorious, and that consequently
the ajority of them remained at home
and did not vote.
La Tucha says that this light vote
can be taken as a protest from the
Cuban people against the imposition
of official candidates.
The Diario de la Marina saws that
the result is an indication that the
Cuban Democracy may look upon
American policy as inevitable.

Where Wood Engraving Originated.

From the Scientific American.
Much controversy was at one time excited
about the country that could claim to
have originated wood engraving. A very
simple process was known to the Egyptians
for the production of stamps, and 1t has
been asserted that the Chinese printed from
blocks Of pear tree as early as the tenth
century. The Independent origination Of
the art has been generally credited to Ger
many among modern, nations. In the Col
ogne district a ST, Christopher. which has
often been reproduSed,, was cut in 1423,
a st. Sebastian in 1897. and Madonna has
been dated 14lS Playing cards We're how

fourteenth century, and the figures were

able for France to, dispute the priority OF
Germany, and many attempts have been
made to claim the art as due to French en-
terprise. M. Henri Bouuhot, of the Biblio-
theque-Nationale, now declares that part
of a block with Representation of cru
cifixion has been discovered In country

HOW TO MAKE APPLE BUTTER.
Manner of Preparing It Among Penn

From the Tribune Farulcr.

FROM the tribune Farmer.
\ product which was brought to America
by the Pennsylvania German farmers is
apple butter. Its use has extended. until
now it can probably be found on sale in all
the large cities Of the country. Since the
product Is quite different from that which
bears the same name in New England and
New York we will describe the manner of
making it on farms
A good quality of sweet cider made only
the day before is the first requisite. This is
boiled down to one-half its first volume.
This work is commonly done in the omen air
in large copper kettles holding thirty gallons
or more. and over a wood fire made under
the shade of a large tree. While the cider

whether the butter is done is made by TAX

Among all people the sucking of the
