The Paramount Issue.

The republican party is the party of
Lincoln and Grant, whose work in
their sespective spheres saved repub-
licanism not alone in America, but for
the world. The rebellion was the
crucial test of the ability Of a self-gov-
erning nation to stand the strain of
internecine strife. The cost of saving
the union was fearful. The land was
hillocked with graves, the blood of he
roes fattened hundred battle fields,
the nation was exhausted, but the flag
was not furled, and not a single star
was lost from its azure field. The re-
suit, however, was worth all it cost.
1t was a struggle for integrity of
empire, and yet it was struggle
against imperialism. The triumph of
the north made thrones across the sea
rock on their old foundations, and
some, indeed, have fallen, while those
which still remain have only been able
to endure by granting larger measure
of self government to their subjects.
Manhood has become royal thing due
to the efforts Of the republican party
to dignity and veryify the sovereignty
of manhood. Power has drifted down
to the masses, who became conscious
Of their power through the work of
such men as Lincoln, Grant, Garfield,
Harrison and Mckinley, who in camp,
in battle and in the councils of the
nation have made our country the en-
Wy Of the world. The policy OF the re-
publican party has gone on in advance
Of the flag, carrying some Of the bles-
sings of liperty to peoples and coun-
tries who have never seen the banner
OF glory and freedom. To charge i'm
perialism to the party which was con-
ceived by freemen, was rocked by lib
erty and grew to vigorous manhood on
the strong meat Of personal sovereign
ty, is to distort history, deny the truth
and betray the fact that the oppofents
of the party think a falsehood is bet
ter than the truth for campaign pur-
poses.

Styles in stockings.

Seldom have fashionable feet been
so ornately clad as this season. Inc
new hosiery is marvellous in it's glory,
and a small fortune could readily be
extended lust in this one department
of the shops. The most expensive
stockings, of course, are those OF SILK
Of the cobwebbiest texture, hne
enough almost to be passed through a
ring. Some of these are exquis1tely
embroidered. There are black SILK
stockings daintily powdered with tiny
flowers, like the forget-me-not, worked
in delicate hues. Other black stock
ings have a diamond pattern, bright
in color, woven up the front. Upon
this lighter background of pale pink,
blue, green, violet or purple is embrold-
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 appl1ques 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
I 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.

shape, and finished with ruff1es. and
there are frills and falls of lace, in
sertion 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 a desirable purchase, and an
other white parasol is of satin, covered
with point d'esprit, over which che
mile cords are sewed in a network de-
sign, and is finished with two frills
of point d'esprit, edged with several
rows of white chenille. Black Chan
tilly 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
fes finished with a narrow cream a C
edge Black and white is a very FASH
ionable combination in ~p2:asols. Some
times flowers of black laeA are applied
upon the chiffon, and beneath the airy
lace flowers a color-pink or green
is Inserted, giving a very rich and airy
effett. A full black lace over a ruff1e
of dhiffon 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

lKate Putnam Osgoode, who is a native
to Harper's Magazine for March, 1861
Out of the clover and blue-eyed grass
He turned them into the river lane;
One after another he let them pass,
And fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows and over the nil.
He patiently followed their sober pace'
The merry whistle for once was stlil'
And something Swallowed his sunny
face.
Only a boy! and his father had said
He never could let his youngster CO.
Two already were lying dead,
Under the feet of the trampling roe.
But after the evening work was done,
And the frogs were loud in the meaoo"
swamp,
Over his shoulder he slung his gum,
And s%tealthily followed the tootpath
damp.
Across the clover and through the wheat
With resolute heart and purpose grlHl'
Though cold was the dew to the hurrylns
feet,
And the blind bats fitting startled him.
Thrice since then had the lane been white
And the orchards sweet with appl
bloom;
And now, when the COWS came back at
night,
The feeble father drove them home.

A new method of preserving food has
been devised by a German; Herr F. w.
Graeff. 1t is effected by ~exhausting
the air from the receptacle containing
the food, then impregnating it with an
inert gas-such as hydrogen, nitrogen
or %carbonic acid-at any desired pres
sure, and finally sealing up hermetical-
ly. Liquids may be treated as well as
solids, but they need restoring to their
original condition by heating or boil
ing before consumption.
Custard Eggs-Put six eggs in boil
ing water, remove from fire and let
them stand, closely covered, for five
minutes. Allow one cup of boiling
water for each egg.
Wheat Crisps-Mix one cup cream
(sweet or sour), one-fourth cup sugar,
one s%altspoon salt and one cup whole
wheat -four. Knead in flour till st1n,
roll out very thin and cut out. Bake
on INCREASED tins in hot oven.
Macaroon Souf1e-Scald n dozen
macaroons in a cup~ OF milk. Pour
gradually upon the beaten yolks or
three eggs and cook over hot water,
| stirring constantly till slightly thick

of three eggs and bake in buttered
mold set in hot water for twenty min
utes. Turn from mold and serve with
whipped cream.

Up-to- date

The parasol is an important adjunct
to a summer gown. 1t must be becOm-
ing, for it is a movable background,
and the clever realizes that it
should be of a 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
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 one of
the popular Persian pattern handker-
chiefs. These have a 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 Eemstitching. 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 it is a
little too pronounced and dazzling to
be popular, except with the woman
who has such a 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 persuasively 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 GU
in the transparent materials. Chiho1
