plate, and thus they are free from anyo
thing of that sort" '''
And the verdict of the audience, AZ
the perfected fritters were passed
around, was that they had never seen
or tasted anything of the kind that
would begin to compare with them for
dellcacy and general toothsomeness.
Miss Dods next proceeded to show
her audience how to make a sweet oma-
let, and again were they delighted at
the success of her cooking. She took
the yelks of two eggs, the whites of
three, a teaspoonful of sugar, some es-
sence OF vanilla, and half an ounce of
butter. The yelks, the sugar and the
vanilla were mixed in small bowl. To
the whites of the eggs was added a
small pinch of salt, and this was
whipped till stiff. In the omelet-pan
was melted the half ounce of butter.
The yelks and the whites were lightly
mixed, and the whole poured quickly
into the omelet'pan, which was put on
the fire and kept there minute, being
then removed to the oven to dry, where
it remained five minutes. On taxing it
out, Miss Dods sprinkled the light and
appetizing product with sugar, and
everybody declared that they had never
seen such perfect example of omelet-
cooking in their lives.
She then proceeded to make the
sauce for her pudding, which was now
done. In making the sauce she used
the juice of half a lemon, one ounce of
sugar, one egg, and a tablespoonful of
milk, which she put in saucepan,
mixed, and thickened over the fire.
The pudding was then dexterously re-
moved from the mold, put on a large
platter, and the sauce poured around it.
Miss Dods said she preferred this par
ticular kind of sauce because its color
SO closely matched that of the pudding
itself
The latest product of the lady's art
was passed around the audience and
everybody was profuse in her praise.
The soup also was done about this time,
and as it, too, went the rounds, it's
savory odors greeted the nostrils of the
fair and was responsible for many an
increase of appetite.

Sound Doctrine from Iowa.

The Iowa Republicans have put
themselves squarely in line with their
brethren in Ohio on the main issues of
the day. There is no Gnsound timber
in their platform. They see that the
action of the Democrats in Congress is
practical reassertion of the old Cal
houn doctrine of State sovereignty
which resulted in four terrible years of
war, and they declare that this country
is nation and not confederacy. They
condemn the attempt to facilitate bull
doing in the South and fraud in New
York city by sweeping away the safe
guards thrown around a fair ballot by
Federal statutes, and they commend the
President and the Republican Congress-
men for their opposition to such at
tempts. In the Democratic threat of
no money for the army they hear an
echo of the same threat made during
the Rebellion, and their answer is that
the Government of the Union could not
then be beaten to death, and cannot
now be starved to death. The financial
policy of the Republican party is hearth
ly approved of, and it's results declared
to be a source of pride. The silver
question is touched upon to the extent
of a declaration that the profits
of coinage should. inure to the Govern
ment and not to the bullion owners,
and there is demand for maintaining
the currency at par, and sturdy rebuke
of Congressional tinkering with the
finances. These points are sufficient
assurance of the sound views of the
Iowa Republicans on all matters con-
corning the currency.
We have rehearsed the main features
of the Iowa platform bearing upon ma
tional affairs to show that the Repubi-
cans beyond the Mississippi are in &C
cord with the Republicans in the East.
AS State after State holds it's conven-
ton it will be found that there is thor
ough harmony and unity in the Repub-
lican party. Minnesota will answer
Maine as Iowa has Ohio. The voice of
Wisconsin will be the voice of Massa-
chusetts, and New York and Illinois
will speak in the same tones. Every
where the Republican party will demand
free and honest elections, the unchal
lenged supremacy of the national au-
thority, the enforcement of the con sti-
tutional guarantees of freedom and suf-
frage, and it will make determined
resistance to the Democratic attempt to
glorify the lost cause and to place the
Government in the control of the men
who lately sought to take it's life. The
State campaigns of 1879 will fix the line
on which the Presidential battle of 1880
will be fought. Thus far they have
opened most auspiciously for the Re-
publican cause.-NeaU York Tribune.

Big Diamonds.

From time immemorial there have
been all kinds of strange superstitions
about precious stones, most of which
have attached themselves to the dia-
mond. Every knows that the
Koh-i-noor is the bright particular gem
among the crown-jewels of England,
but it is not so we'll known that the
Mountain of Light" as it has been
called, is, according to the Hindoo super
stition, most unlucky, and bound to
bring certain ruin upon those into
whose hands it comes. Most certainly
this diamond has had an especially nota-
BILE history. 1t was found in the mines
of Golconda, how many years ago no
one can tell. The first authentic in
formation we have of it is that it was in
the possession of the Great Mogul in
1910. After this the stone changed
hands frequently, and we finally hear of
it in the possession of Runjeet Singh, a
famous chief of Lahore. After his
death it passed into the hands of his
successors on the throne, and, when the
Punjaub was conquered by the English
in 1850, the Koh-i-noor was included
among the spoils. In all these years it
certainly has brought anything but fort
une to the great number of it's owners.
The Queen sent it to Amsterdam to
have it recut, work which occupied
thirty days of twelve hours each. 1t
now weighs 1O2 carats. The Star of the
South weighs l25; the Regent or Pitt
diamond, 1877; the great Austrian dia-
mond, 1879; the Orlof or great Russian
diamond, 1913; while the largest dia-
mond in the world, as to the genuine
ness of which there is no shadow of
doubt, is that of the Rajah of Mattan,
which weighs 367 carats in the uncut
state, and for which many years ago the
Rajah was offered couple of war-brigs,
fully equipped, and 100000.

1t is idle to anticipate revolution, separation,

HALLS are most often fitted up in the
English fashion. For large houses the
square hall mirror with brass pegs in
the frame is built in the wall, and there
is square table and heavily carved
chairs. The narrow halls of small houses
have hanging racks, or else small En-
glish stands with diamond-shaped mir
ror simply framed, and small closet
below for brushes; brass pegs for hats
are in the frames.

Don't Marry a Twin.

A correspondent writes the Cincin-
natl EnqaIirer's Household Depart
ment" some words of warning about
twins, which illustrate the way the
thing worked with him:
"Let me give some good advice to
boy in Love- My dear boy, for

and so were the parents of my wife.

The next census will readjust the social and
political forces of this country upon basis
which will finally determine the sectional con-
troversies which have 80 long disturbed it's
peace and delayed its prosperity.
Upon the present ratio of representation the
great interior States drained by the Missouri
river and it's affiuents will gain under the next
superintendent not less than ffty-two members
of Congress and Presidential electors.
Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas alone will
have at least twenty Representatives more than
all the Southern States combined. Under Il
just distribution of political power among the
States as contemplated by the constitution, the
issues would have been entirely changed Had
new apportionment been made operative
in 1875 even, the condition of the nation at thu
time would have been radically different.
There would have been no Electoral Com
mission. There would have been no ''solid
South" for when Southern solidity cannot Sc
cure Democratic asceDdency the South will
cease to be solid. Political cohesion will end.
Parties will divide there as elsewhere upon
economic and practical, rather than national
questions affecting the whole people rather

We are on the threshold of new epoch.
With the close of the Forty seventh Congress
the seat of political power will be transferred
