THE r1oT1n OF isolation.

And now comes the National Economist, the
general organ and exponent OF the alliance,
published by DR.. Macune at Washington, with
similar good advice, and says: 1.-THE agricult-
ural and labor press of the country often fails to
WELD the influence and command the prestige it
should because it has injudiciously advocated
reforms that are too sweeping or impracticable.
Nothing can react more unfavorably on the pub
lication OF upon the reform movement than to
get the ear Of the people and then pour in lot
of visionary and impTacticable trash Ia
beled reform. Dreamers had better interest
themselves with music and poetry. Reform is
prsctical. It now means life or death. 1t must
be instituted by practical men or practical meth
DDS. Therefore the greatest need Of the hour,
especially on the part of reformers, is conserva-
tism.'' This language, though general in its
terms, is q good antidote to the platform of the
Federation Of Labor recently adopted at
Dallas, and claiming to represent the views,
aims and objects Of the workingmen and farmers
of Texas, though in reality put out by a lot Of
impractical and disappointed Republicans.-LWa-

If the National Economist had gone
further and declared that the man who
gave passahle roadway TO each neigh
borhood in every county in Texas would

suggestious About Hominy.

This is preparation of Indian corn,
broken or ground, either large or small,
and is most excellent breakfast dish
either winter or summer. Roger Will
Jams, in his key to the Indian language,
has the word aupuminea, meaning
parched corn or hominy. A celebrated
New England housewife prepares it for
frying as follows:
wash half a pint of Baltimore pearl
hominy in cold water to remove the fine
floury particles. Put it into a double
cooking utensil, add a quart of cold
water, place on the range, and when 1t
thickens stir into it a teaspoonful of
salt. Stir thoroughly and boil an hour,
but longer cooking improves its flavor.
Should it become too thick during the
early stages of cooking little more
water may be added. If added after
the hominy is cooked it will become
watery and insipid. 1t may now be
served with cream or butter If to be
fried, pour it in creased square tin and
place in cool place TO become firm.
Cut it into slices a quarter of an inch
thick, dip these IN beaten egg, dredge
with crumbs or cornmeal and fry in a
liberal quantity of hot lard and butter
in equal proportions. When a delicate
brown, serve with a homemade syrup
made as follows: Put into an enameled
saucepan a quart of ordinary c sugar,
add pint of water and boil slowly half
an hour Stir as little as possible or it
will grain. The c sugar is not recon-
mended. Mao York Sun.

How STOCKINGS Came Into Use.

he Romans wore kind of stockings
as feet coverings, but they were not used
even by people who lived in cold coun-
tries until the twelfth century. They
were made of skins and cloth cut in one
piece until the art of knitting was in
vented by the Spanish, or by the Scotch
IS claimed by some. As far back as
1853 we read of Henry H., of France,
wearing silk stockings when he attended
the marriage of his sister to the Duke of
savoy, and it is said they were the first
ever seen in France. Queen Elizabeth
had woman in waiting who knit silk
pair for Her Majesty in 1861. In 1864
an apprentice on London Bridge saw a
pair of worsted knit hose at the house
OF an Italian merchant, and made pair
similar which he presented to William,
Earl OF Pembroke, these two pairs being
the first knitted aud made in England.
In the reign of Queen Elizabeth the
stocking frame was invented by William
Lee, in 1889, since which time woven
'stIoseliElags- taken the place, more or
less, of hand-knitted ones. for common
use. But it is present fashion to value
greatly all hand made hose, and they
command double the price of woven
ones. When made of silk they are par
ticuIarly priced. A modern machine, to
knit in imitation of hand work, has
come into use, which is source of much
profit TO women workers, as all kinds of
wooden articles are made upon it, but the
stocking frames made much finer wooden
work and are alone used for the fine quail
fffae IF lsefa ~ ho.o
The invention of this frame is con-
nected with a little romance, with IA
woman in the case William Lee, NJ.
A., of st. Johns College, Cambridge,
was expelled from the university for
marrying as best pleased himself. in
stead of according to the rules of the
college. He knew no other means of
making living. and was therefore re-
duced TO the necessity of allowing his
wife to earn money by knitting stock
ings. He carefully watched her fingers
in using the needle, and thus formed in
his own mind the model of the frame
which has come down to the present
day as an important advantage to man
ufacturers. Mr. ee derived little or no
benefit from his great inven-
ton, which is the case with nearly all
inventors, but his name and genius are
still honored until the present day in his
native country. In the stocking weav
ers' and frame work knitters' hall there
is a portrait of Mr.. Lee pointing his
finger to one of his frames, and appar-
emily discussing with a woman who is
knitting with needles in the usual way.
This picture bears the following odd in
scription: ''In the year 1883 the in
