Styles in stockings.

Seldom have fashionable feet been
so ornately clad as this season. The
new hosiery is marvellous in its glory,
and a small fortune could readily be
expended just in this M department
of the shops. The most expensive
stockings, of course, are those of silk
Of the cobwebbiest texture, fine
enough almost to be passed through a
ring. Some Of these are exquisitely
embroidered. There are black silk
stockings daintily powdered with tiny
flowers, like the forget-me-not, worked
In delicate hues. Other black stock
1ngs have a diamond pattern, bright
in color, woven up the front. Upon
this lighter background of pale pink,
blue, green, violet or purple is embroid-
cred a delicate tracery of vines. A
pair of bright, yellow silk stockings
has a diamond pattern in black, pro-
ducing an essentially stylish effect, in
stockings of pale tint, the diamond
design is always of the black, and
vice versa. Some of the new black
silk stockings are cut out in the front,
to display long, narrow appliques of
lace. Others have the holes worked
around with buttonhole stitch, and
underneath are set pieces of gayly col
ored taffeta. The old style stocking
known as opera" top, that is, tinted
in some delicate color, the lower half
dyed black, reappears in a modified
form. Instead Of an abrupt line be-
tween the say, lavender top and black
lower portion, the colors are blended
by a graceful line of black embroid-
cry.
In openwork stockings the effects
are indescribably delicate. In some
the ornamental stripes extend the en-
tire length of the stocking; in others
the openwork is carried only part way.
Some Of these openwork stockings
look like fairy lace work.

Work on ,t,ninr Claims.

The provisions of the United States
Revised Statutes requiring a certain
amount of work to be performed or
improvements made during each year
on each mining claim located after
May 10, 1872, and until a patent issue
therefor apply as well to that class of
claims known as placer claims as to
the class known as lode or vein claims.
The law provides that "the period
within which the work required to be
done annually on all unpatented
claims shall commence on the LIST day
of January succeeding the date of To-
cation of such claim"

mile cords are sewed in a network de-
sign, and is finished with two frills
of point d'esprit, edged with several
row of, white chenille. Black Chan
lilly lace and white chiffon combined
together, the chiffon being accordion
plated between bands Of insertion.
The center of the parasol is sometimes
Of cream lace, and the band below Of
tucked chiffon, edged with plated ruff
fles finished with a narrow cream lace
edge. Black and white is a very fash
ionable combination in parasols. Some
times flowers of black lace are applied
upon the chiffon, and beneath the airy
lace flowers a color-pink or green
is inserted, giving a very rich and airy
effect. A full black lace I've a rufae
Of chiffon hangs from the edge Of the
frame to futter gracefully about the
dainty head that it will shadow. There
are parasols for every occasion-the
drive, the morning walk, the afternoon
promenade and the links. The auto
mobile parasols this season are Of
plain silk, in different shades. red or
purple being the most fashionable.
They are equipped with a wooden
handle Of medium length, not very
thick. and are Of medium size, finished
with q ruching of white liberty silk.
The coaching parasol is made Of plain
or shaded silk, and appears as hereto
fore, with a thick, short handle, which
may be either in light, or ebonized
wood.
Very beautiful are the new parasol
handles from Paris. The wood is in
pastel tints and the handles are deco
rated in cut steel. Sometimes the han
die is covered with black velvet, upon
which the ornamentation in cut steel
appears in effective contrast. Another
fashionable parasol' handle is a ball
entirely studded with rhinestones.

Up-to. dat Parasols.

The parasol is an important adjunct
to a summer gown. 1t must be becom-
ing, for it is a movable background,
and the clever woman realizes that 1t
should be. of q color and design that
will harmonic with her complexion
and her general style. The new para
sol. is a thing of beauty, showing al
most endless variation in the coloring
and kind of fabric, in design and in
the shape and style of handles. The
i(exhibits in the shops of these useful
and at the same time highly decora-
tive accessories of feminine dress run
the entire gamut of parasol invention,
from the frivolous and fluffy chiffon
that looks as If fabricated from a feet
ing summer cloud, to the serviceable
but stylish sunshade of plain silk. A
conspicuous novelty this spring is the
square parasol, covered with n of
the popular Persian pattern handker-
chiefs. These have q bizarre effect, but
they are extremely stylish. and may be
carried with almost any costume. Silk
parasols scalloped around. the. edge and
trimmed with white silk braid are an
other novelty, and still others are
made of bands Of silk Joined together
with open hemstitching. Satin para
soils, with velvet polka dots, are very
stylish. These have quite short, thick
natural wood handles The spangled
parasol is another novelty, but 1t Is a
little too pronounced and dazzling to
be popular, except with the woman
who has such q large assortment Of
.%sunshades that she can lay it aside as
soon as she wearies Of the glitter.
The parasols of transparent mate
rails, like chiffon, and those Of lace,
appeal p~ersuasively to the woman Of
essentially feminine taste. They are
very dainty, elegant and extravagant,
but are we'll fitted to give the crown
ing touch Of distinction to an elabo-
rate summer toilette. There is an end
less number of variations carried out
in. the transparent materials. Chiffon
is tucked, shirred and ruched into
shape, and finished with rufles. and
there are frills and falls of lace, in
sertton and applications Of passe--'
menterie. One Of these airy. fairy
novelties is Of white satin, covered
from the edge to the tip with knife
plated chiffon, the plaitings growing
narrower as they approach the fer
rule, ruchings of the chiffon appear
ing here and there along the edge Of
them. A plain white satin parasol,
decorated with designs Of applique
lace, Is q desirable purchase. and an

Shott and Mott.

The story of these gentlemen and
their duel-a famous one formerly-is
revived, and the tale is thus repeated:
A duel was lately fought in Texas by
Alexander Shot and John S. Mott.
Mott was shot, and Shot was not. In
this case it is better to be Shot than
Mott. There was a rumor that Mott
was not shot, but Shot avows that
he was not, which proves either that
the shot Shot shot at Mott was not
shot, or that Mott was shot notwith-
standing. 1t may be made to appear
on trial that the shot Shott shot shot
Mott, or; as accidents With firearms
are frequent, it may be possible that

also by the law, for in China all the
relatives OF a man may be held nespon-
sible for his debts. They settle their
debts three times year. the principal
day OF settlement being New Years
day. their greatest holiday. The Chi
nese consider Il a disgrace to begin the
new year owing money to anybody.
II Is somewhat interesting fact to
note that the Chinese bear much
higher reputation for honesty in the
orient than their neighbors. the Japa-
nese, whose reputation In this regard
may be called rather furnished have
just referred to the Chinese as being
In the orient" which means the east.
There is, however, no real reason why
Americans should consider the Chinese
as orientals. as Is commonly done.
When an American OF either the east
or the west pictures China to himself
on the map. he always thinks OF that
country as lying To the west, across
the Pacific ocean. Why we. therefore.
should follow the example OF Europe
and refer TO China. Japan or the Phil
ippines IS lying to the far east is
something OF a mystery.
or course there is not in China such
a thing as protection against imita-
ton. One OF the great hindrances to

DEMOCRACY AND SILVER
HOW PARTY VOTING STRENGTH
STANDS.
Analysis of the Sentiment in the States
Which Have Electoral Votes to Give
A Minority Issue.

The Chicago Record makes the fol-
lowing analysis of Democracy and the
16 to l silver plank of the Kansas City
convention:
The vote on the financial plank of the
Democratic platform>in the committee
on resolutions at Kansas City was in a
measure a test vote and revealed to a
considerable extent the feeling of the
Democrats in the several States. The
committeeman from each State was Sc
lected by the State delegation, and the
votes of the representatives so chosen
deternined how the platform should be
drawn and reported to the convention.
On the question of specifying the ratio
in the platform the vote in the COM
mittee stood 26 in favor of naming the
ratio and "a against. Below is a tabula-
ton of the States and Territories whose
representatives voted for reattirmation
of the ratio with the number of cleo
toral votes possessed by each State:
Alabama, H. Arkansas s; Colorado,
4; Delaware, 3; Iowa, 10; Kansas, 10;
Kentucky. 10; Maine, 6; Massachusetts,
Is: Missouri, II: Nebraska, 8; Nevada,
Oregon, 4; South Carolina, 8; Tennessee,
u; Vermont, A. Washington, 4; WyOm-
ing, votes. Total, 157 votes.
Following is a list of those States
whose representatives on the committee
opposed the reafTirmation of the ratio,
together with their electoral votes:
California, 8; Connecticut, 6; Florida,
4; Georgia, 10; Illinois, "a; Indiana, 49,
Louisiana, s; Maryland, 8; Michigan, IA;
Minnesota, 8; Mississippi, 8; New Jer-
sey, 10; New York, So; North Carolina,
H. Ohio, %; Pennsylvania, so; Rhode Is
land, 4; South Dakota, 4; Texas, Is;
Utah, 3; Virginia, 70; West Virginia, s.;
Wisconsin, II votes. Total, 2S7 votes.
From this comparison it appears that
the representatives of two-thirds of the
electoral college strength were against
reaffirming the Is to l ratio. Except for
the fact that the representatives of the
territories were allowed to vote, the 16
to l proposition would have been re-
jected by the committee.
