THE EXTRA SESSION.

An Associated Press representative
visited President Harrison ut his cot
tage at Deer Park and ascertaired
from him that he had not announce
to any person that he intended call
ing an extra session Of Congress this
Fall. He said he had, of course, dis
cusssd the proposition with various
persons, but had not determined the
question.
Since President Harrison was in
:augurated it has been announced at
least half dozen times, upon the
authority Of Republican leaders, that
Congress would be convened in extra
session in October. It now seems
that these assertions were unwar-
ranted and that the President has
not yet decided to call an extra ses-
sion. The President has authority
under the Constitution to call Con-
gress together upon extraordinary oc-
casions: but thoro is nothing at pres
emit to warrant his doing 80, save that
the surplus, which his party said dur
ing the campaign did not exist, is con-
stantly increasing. Though there arc
outstanding bonds, which might be
purchased with this surplus the pol
icy Of tho Administration seems to be
to hoard it until Congress meets
when, it feels assured, it will be i'm
!mediately issipated.-[SilYer State.

to deal out the Federal patronage to

Johnny divided his orange with his

with Johnny on the subject of simple
division.
Now, Johnny" said the teacher,

SENATOR PALMER's WIFE.
The Popular Lady Who win Do the d.
plomatic Honors of Madrid

In order to realize the princely elegance
in which the American Minister to the
aristocratic Court of Spain will do the di-
plomatic honors of his country, writes a
Washington correspondent, it is only nee
social surrounding during his residence at
the American capital as Senator. His
home is not only Of palatial dimensions,
but the hospitalities within were measured
by the possibilities of unlimited wealth.
Mrs. Palmer, who presided ever the
brilliant entertainments of her husbands
Washington mansion for six years, and
vino will now represent her countrywomen
at the Court of Spain, is lady of historic
ancestry She was Miss Lizzie Pitts Mer-
rill, daughter of the late Charles Merrill,
native of Maine. Mr.. Merrill left his
native State in lS45 and immigrated west
to the peninsula of Michigan, which had
not yet passed its first decade in the Union.
He amassed vast fortune which, upon
his death, he left to his daughter, who
was his only child.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
Mrs. Palmer is a relative of the James
Bowdoin who was Minister to Spain dur
ing the first Administration of Thomas
Jefferson, and was subsequently associated
with John Armstrong, of New York, as
Joint Commissioner for the negotiation of
commercial Convention with Carlos ",
King of Spain. His service at the Spanish
Court extended from 1904 to 1907.

FASHION NOTES.
JET has mol gone out Of fashion.

Jet has not gone out of fashion.
Irish poplins are coming into favor.
Parasol handles have grown ridiculously
long.
Russian leather has been skillfully imi-
tated.
Sailor hats are only in use for yachting
excursions.
About one lady in every six has her
hair dressed low.
Fashion in dress is governed by individ-
uality this season.
Tan, blue, gray and black are the favor
ite colors for socks.
Some of the new spring hats are like
small flower-gardens.
Pattern" dresses in wool and other ma
terials find great favor.
Green and gray are decidedly the reign
ing colors of the season.
Gentlemen who ride horseback wear
black melton cutaway coats.
Ladies who are wise never touch the
hair with the curling -tongs.
There is a summer airiness about lace
hats that is decidedly in their favor.
There is more elegance in simplicity
than in all the furbelows in creation.
1t is no longer considered part of a
girls education to have her ears pierced.
There are many imitators of the Mar
guerite style of dress at the present time.
Swallow-tail coats are curved on the
hips in America and cut straight in Eng
land.
Mecicio collars are likely to take the
place of the straight high collars so long
worn.
Silver-iined cooking utensils are taking
the place of those made of copper and
brass.
A ruching of fringed-out silk is the
principal trimming for summer silk
dresses.
Fashionable ladies indulge in sweet
scented note paper, but their taste is ques-
tionable.
White summer gowns for morning wear
are as fashionable as they were in the time
of Marie Antoinette.
Artificial poppies are to be had in any
color desired. Such are the modern i'm
provements on nature.
Now that the seasons fashions have been
settled, the discovery is made that some of
the bonnets are as high as ever.
English girls who have fancy for the
unique wear as a part of their yachting
costume, under a short open jacket, shirt
made like mans.
The round waists of the simple gowns
now worn show but one seam, but the lin
ing is as perfectly fitted as the art of dress
making can devise.
Mignonette and marguerites are the
favorite flowers for window-boxes, which
are seen none too often against the brown
stone facings of New York houses.
Useful as well as pretty bags are made
of picot-edged ribbons in three colors.
The ribbons are sewed together to form a
bag, then lined and tied with narrower
ribbon.
There is way of tying the strings of
low shoes so that they will not come un-
tied. Make double bow knot, as usual
with this simple change: Draw the sec
ond loop twice through the opening left
for that purpose, instead of once.-New

ONLY GOD AND MAN.
Folly and Fear are spectres twain;
One closing her eyes,
The other peopling the dark inane
With spectral lies.

Folly and Fear are spectres twain;
One closing her eyes,
The other peopling the dark inane
With spectral lies.
Know well, my soul. Gods hand controls
Whate'er thou fearest;
Round him in calmest music rolls
Whate'er thou nearest.
What to thee is shadow to him is day,
And the end he knoweth;
And not on blind and aimless way
The spirit goeth.
Nothing before, nothing behind;
The steps of Faith
Fall on the seeming void, and find
The rocx beneath.
The present, the present is all thou hast
For thy sure possessing;
Like the patriarch's s angel, hold it fast
Till it gives its blessing.
Why fear the night? Why shrink from death
The phantom wan?
There is nothing in heaven or earth beneath
Save God and man.
Peopling the shadows, we turn from him
And from one another;
All is spectral, and vague, and dim,
Save God and our brother.
o restless spirit! Wherefore strain
Beyond thy sphere?
Heaven and hell, with their JOY and pain,
Are low and here.
All which is real now remaineth,
And fadeth never;
The hand which upholds it now, sustained
The soul forever.
Then of what is to be and of what is done
Why queriest thou?
The past and the time to be are one.
And both are now. Whittier.
