pay and is reducing the revenue.
More taxation, if it is possible the
people to pay more taxes, will put
more money into the Treasury and
diminish the circulation. The rem
edy proposed by the Republicans
will certainly make the matter
worse. More taxation will not
bring gold into the Treasury, be-
cause there is no gold in circulation,
and the people will pay their taxes
in paper and silver as they may
now do. 1t would simply increase
the surplus and diminish the vol
ume of circulation. This would
make the conditions worse than
they now are. We have taxation
enough and too much surplus in the
Treasury. The Republicans pro,
prose more taxation and more sur
plus. How would that benefit the
situation ?-Silver Knight.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Candlestick Lamp.

So essential is the candle con-
sidered for decorative purposes that
for occasions where its light would
not be sufficiently strong, what are
called "candlestick lamps" are
used. This is, the tall, slender
candlestick is perfectly copied and
so low is the tiny shade suspended
over the burner that none but the
most observant would notice that ii
was asmall lamp that burned inside,
and not a wax candle. By the way,
it is always best to lay candles on
the ice for several hours before
they shall be needed. They will
not gutter SO badly, will burn more
slowly and give more satisfactory
light altogether.

cRAvATs AND wAIsTcoATs.
Are Absorbing a Great Amount of
Consideration To-day.


Consideration To-day.
Cravats and waistcoats absorb,
or should absorb, a great amount of
consideration to-day; the daintiest
devices of cambria, embroidered
and plain, have been brought into
their service, while grass lawn
traced with many colors inter-
spersed with gold threads forms an
excellent tight waistcoat fastening
invisibly, and tho indispensable
chiffon deliberately frilled may also
be trusted to play the part of waist
coat with becoming discretion. The
finish of the waistcoat at the neck
must depend upon the individual
contour of chin and throat, for
whereas some people look charming
with thick ruffle peeping round
the top of the collar band, others
will look at once suffocated, fat and
dumpy under such influence.
The woman with long, slim
neck may take unto herself almost
any liberty excepting, perhaps, the
plain turn down linen collar, which
does not seem adapted to her
charms, but which is however,
most generally becoming excepting
in extreme cases when the neck is
very short and thick.

HOW TO WEAR YOUR HANDKER
CfiIF.
Newest Fashion is to Tuck it in the
Sleeve Partially Exposed.

Newest Fashion is to Tuck it in the
Sleeve Partially Exposed.
There is always a right and a
wrong way to carry ones hand
kerchief, as to do everything else.
Just now the only proper way is to
tuck the little square of linen and
lace in ones sleeve at the wrist,
allowing it to fall and partially
conceal the hand, somewhat after
the manner of the pretty wrist
flounces on the new sleeves. Do
not commit so marked breach of
good form as to tuck your handker-
chief in at any part Of your bodice,
but if you want to get the full
ornamental value from its pretty
border of Point de Venise or Irish
lace, no more effectual method could
be devised than this newest fashion.
The single consideration, however,
that it is a new idea is perhaps
having most weight with the
majority of women, who are rapidly
converting the fashion into fad.

False Campaign Cry.

The campaign cry of the Repub-
lican party for the gold standard
and more taxation lis sickening.
The immediate necessity of more
taxation does not exist. The cash
balance in the Treasury on April
3Oth, 1896, was $17O,OOO,OOO The
silver bullion, known as seiniorage,
over and above the amount of the
outstanding Treasury notes issued
in its purchase, is 800, O00,0 1t
is the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury under the law to coin this
bullion. If coined and added to
the cash balance in the Treasury il
would swell the amount to 1925
900, 900. Of the 1926, 900 900;
$114, 100000 is gold, $24, 900, 900 is
standard silver dollars and $11 ,OOO,-
900 silver certificates, convertible
into silver coin, making $35, 900, 200
of silver coin available for redemp-
ton. This, together with the $50,
900, 900 which it is the duty of the
Secretary to coin, gives 800, 900, 200
of silver coin and bullion now in
the Treasury available for redemp-
ton of greenbacks and treasury
notes and the. payment of the in
terest on the national debt. Besides,
a large part of the revenue of the
government is paid in silver GER
tificates which are the same as silver
coin, because the Government or
any other holder has the right to
exchange them for coin.
If the administration would use
silver as money for redemption
money as provided by law, and coin
the silver in the Treasury, there
would be an abundance of silver to
redeem all the obligations of the
government. But if the govern
ment will not comply with the law,
and insists upon paying gold on
obligations which by law may be
discharged in silver, how will more
taxation relieve the situation
There is already tied up in the
Treasury 1926, 100000 of the peo-
Pies money, and the contraction of
the volume of money and the de-
preston of business is fast destroy

Useful Recipes.

PEACH FOAM.-Chop a can of
peaches, heat, and thicken with
three tablespoons of corn starch dis
solved in a little water. Add the
juice of half a large lemon. Re
move from fire, and when nearly
cold whip in the beaten whites of
three eggs. Serve quite cold.
MARROW ToAsT.-Have the
butcher split a shin bone; remove
the marrow and cut it into inch
thick slices. Boil 80 seconds in a
quart of sailed water. Have ready
in a hot dish one teaspoon of chop
ped parsley, one of lemon juice,
half teaspoon of salt, a grain OF
cayenne and six drops of onion
juice. Drain the marrow and mix
with the seasoning in a hot dish;
spread on squares of crisp, hot toast
and serve very hot.
HAM A LA FLAMANDE.-Put
thick slices of ham. into a baking
pan, first trimming off the rim OF
fat. Chop this now fine and
sprinkle over the top of the ham,
then sprinkle over teaspoonful OF
chopped onion and a teaspoonful OF
chopped parsley, dust with salt and
pepper and put it in quick oven
to bake for twenty minutes. When
done, dish, add tablespoonful OF
flour to the fat in the pan and mix

More Trimming for New Skirts.

The new skirts for outdoor wear
appear more generally with some
kind of trimming, yet for the most
part in straight or sloping lines in
the length; if the edge is to be or
namented, this is done by putting
a broad band of velvet in a darker
color all round. Sometimes such
bands are fastened down at pretty
long distances with large buttons
and sloped ends, to mitigate the
admired tabs so largely used for
trimmings. On evening dresses
the decoration covers the front of
the skirt and takes the shape of a
tablier, panel and robing of plated
lace or tulle, silk of another color,
sequin embroidery, and SO forth.

ment of taxes instead of other
money, gold will be at premium.
When you demand gold for customs
duties gold will go to premium.
When you did it once before you
sent gold to premium the very
next day. You will do it now if
you make the discrimination.
Everybody knows it.
The Government has no means of
getting gold except by borrowing
it. If the Government is relieved
of redeeming greenbacks by con-
verting them into gold obligations,
into bonds, it will have to borrow
money to pay interest on the gold
obligations which are out. Then
how are individuals to get gold if
they cannot get it from the Treas
ury? How are the corporations
who have unfortunately entered
into gold obligations, to get gold ?
They have foreign obligations. The
Government of the United States
has none. But they have entered
into those obligations The gold
cannot he got out of the. Treasury.
Individuals must raise it, and they
will have to pay premium on it..
The only way to maintain the gold
standard is to refuse to pay. Bank
ruptcy is the only way to maintain
it, for whenever you struggle to get
it you will send gold to premium.
When the Government of the
United States ceases to sell bonds,
when it can do that no longer, gold
will 60 to a premium. If it shifts
the responsibility on the people, if
it sells no more bonds, it will be
compelled to demand its revenue in
gold, and gold will 60 to a pre-
MUM. If there is no means of
going to the Treasury for gold, if
the credit of the Government can
no longer be pledged for that, in
dividuals who owe gold must have
it. How will they get it? By
buying it at premium or they will
repudiate their obligations. The
only way that the gold standard
can be maintained is by universal
bankruptcy. You must refuse to
pay. When the Government ceases
to sell bonds to buy gold, and if
citizens buy gold to pay gold obi
cations, gold will then go to pre-
MUM. The gold standard means
bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is the
only way it can be maintained. The
struggle to keep up the gold stan
dard will send gold to a premium.
If that struggle ceases, then we
have bankruptcy. That is what
the gold standard means. That is
what it meant in all other countries.
That is what it meant in Italy, in
Spain, in Austria, in the Turkish
Empire. Gold standard means re-
pudiation. There is no doubt
about that, and here we are hig-
Cling about getting the money out
of the Treasury in order to give the
people some relief.

The Athletic Woman.

The woman who at this end of
thecentury neglects physical culture
or the practice of some form of
athletics is curiosity; all ages and
conditions, all classes and nation
alities, agree that woman to be at
her best, whatever her ruling
ambition may be, must cultivate
her physical as well as her mental
powers, for on the perfection Of the
former depends the brilliancy of
the latter. The ''all-pervading
bicycle" has undoubtedly been an
important factor in establishing
this principle, and if not the favorite
form of exercise is invariably an
adjunct to her special fad in
physical culture. Demorest's
Magazine for June has several ex-
cellent articles in this line; and all
women should read the handsomely
illustrated papers on "The Region
of the Bicycle" and "Woman and
Her Wheel" also "Women in
Athletics" in which experts in
golf, swimming, wheeling, fencing,
tennis, etc., give valuable points
regarding the benefits and pleasures
derived from the particular spot
which each adores.
Then there is a paper on "Archi
lecture as a Profession for Women"
illustrated with portraits and
specimens of the work of successful
women architects; and it is safe to
say that every one of them is de-
voted to some form of athletics.
Robert Louis Stevenson's last story,
"Weir of Hermiston,'' is begun in
this number; and in connection
with it the illustrated paper on
"Stevenson's Life in Samoa is of
special interest. "Where Summer
Days Fly Swiftly" has a host of
beautiful illustrations and is es-
pecially apropos at present; and
altogether the June issue of this
all round magazine is quite up to
the mark and appropriate for the
season.
The fashions are summary and
up to date, and everyone who has
ever used the patterns given with
this magazine knows their intrinsic
value and how practical they are.
Every number of Demorest's con-
tains Pattern Order which entities
the holder to reliable and stylish
patterns at a merely nominal cost.
The patterns that can be obtained
during year on the Orders given
"ouiu, IL PulCHdSCu III IAC Regular
way, cost at least from $50 to $75.
Everyone who will take the
trouble to cut out this notice and
forward it, with ten cents, to the
address below, will receive sample
copy of Demorest's Magazine, con-
tanning a Pattern Order which en-
titles the holder to any pattern
illustrated in any number of the
Magazine published during the last
twelve months, at the uniform price
of four cents each; and frequently
over thirty patterns are illustrated
in one number, thus affording an
almost unlimited variety to select
from. Demorest is published for
81 a year, by the DemOrest Publish

Miss Viola made a very pretty ascent
from the grounds, but the descent was not
all she desired, and her experience in
reaching the roof of house near Haight
and Octayia streets was not at all pleas
ant. The balloon rose well and high, and
when it showed signs of descending the
aeronaut attempted to cut away, but with
out success.
She was seen tugging at the cutaway
line aud then the parachute opened, but
suddenly closed again, and then the bal
loon with the weight still attached to it
continued to descend. A second time the
parachute opened and closed again, and
the opinion was that Miss Viola would
come down with the balloon, but when
within few feet of a roof the ropes that
held the parachute suddenly parted, rhe
balloon rose and Miss Viola iell on the
roof-a fat one-carrying the parachute
with her. Those who went to assist her
found her suffering from a sprain to one
of her ankles and from a number of
bruises, but none were serious. She was
taken to her home, where she received
proper attention.
