STATE OF WAR NOT MODIFIED.
BY the Joint Reply Of the Powers It
castro's Appeal.

Berlin, Jan. THE joint reply OF
the powers to Castro's qualified ac-
ceptance of arbitration was handed
to the United States ambassadors at
Berlin and London. The note aims
to further smooth the way for set
tlement, which possibly may be reach
ed without arbitration. The powers,
however, do not abandon the reserva.
tions containing their original pro-
posal.
The question of raising the block
ade will only be opened after Presi
dent Castro's complete acceptance Of
the powers reservations. TIE state
of war is not modified by the note.
The German foreign Office takes
cognizance of the statement emanat-
ing from Washington that a group
of German financiers is forming to pay
Germany's claims against Venezuela,
the ultimate purpose being to prevent
the United States from building the
isthmian canal. The foreign office
says this is quite untrue, and further
asserts that the German government
hopes the United States will build the
canal as quickly as possible. SO far

In connection with the action of Sec

stipulations in their favor 1t was
Beaconsfeld's skillful. diplomacy in
favor of the Jews. which was upper

The Trim ParIor Maid.

Lady Aberdeen in a recent lecture
in London on women in Canada told
an anecdote of her experience there
while Lord Aberdeen was governor
general. He and his wife when they
were making a journey across the
dominion dined n night at a house
remarkable wen among Canadian
homes for it's charm and beauty, pre-
sided over by one of the most at
tractive mistresses." They were wait.
ed on by SO trim a parlor maid that
Lord Aberdeen felt constrained to
compliment the hostess on the result
of her training. "Oh," said the lady,
Il am so glad you think Jane did so
WE'LL should like you to tell her so
presently" And when that present
ly'' came, said Lady Aberdeen, what
should he discover but "Jane" arrayed
in evening: dress and proving to be
the daughter Of the house, who, in
consequence Of the unexpected de-
parture of the servant, had not only
to wait on the table. but cook the
meal with the assistance of her moth.

LEARNING TO LIKE AvocATos.
q Alligator Pear From Cuba Growing in
Favor With Gothamites.

One of the results OF the Spanish
war has been the popular1zlng iii New
York of the a%vocato, or alligator pear,
a product of. Cuba and Porto Rico. Be-
fore the war there was scarcely any
demand here for this fruit. Only one
downtown fruit store ever had it on
sale, and you were not sure of getting
it there. Now the green or purplish-
red pears may be e e in almost any
fruit stall. =
The alligator pear should be eaten
before breakfast. Split it open, take
out the seed. dress the interior with
oil, vinegar, pepper and salt and eat
with a spoon. The taste for this
fruit, once acquired, is permanent and
enduring. Hundreds of thousands of
avocatos come into New York now
where dozens came before the war
with Spain.
The alligator pear, says the New
York Mail and Express, is called in the
West Indies, Central and South Amer
lea either avocado" "%ayocato" or
"avocati,' according to location. Each
Of the names is a corruption OF an old
Mexican word.

to me before his full board: The
trouble with the American workmen is

torted: Mr.. Sage, you should not find

Rested on the SUMS pav.

In A. D. 313 the Emperor Constan.
tine of Rome granted federation to
the Christians and in 321 he gave i'm
perial sanction to the observance of
the first day Of the week. The edict
which introduced a new era in Sun
day observance runs: con the vener-
able day of. the sun let the magistrate
and people residing in cities rest and
let all workshops be closed. In the
country, however, persons engaged in
the work of cultivation may freely
and lawfully continue their pursuits,
because it often happens that another
day is not SO suitable for grain sow
ing or for vine planting, lest by neg
lecting the proper moment for such
operations the bounty of heaven
should be lost"
