A Bit Of ROYAL Vanity.

The only trait Of vanity which ever noticed
In Empress Elizabeth of Austria was the pride
she took in her magnificent chestnut hair,
which fell below her knees says a writer in
Harper's Magazine She used to have It
brushed for hours every day, whilst her
reader" Mile. F, read to her English,
French or Hungarian novels. Her majesty
was particularly anxious that the dressers
who brushed her long tresses should avoid
pulling out a single hair. This, of COURSE was
an impossibility, and the unfortunate maid
concealed carefully In the pocket of her apron
any hair which became entangled In the
brush One day the empress, happening to
glance into the looking glass, caught sight of
the maid cOncealing a small roll of hair in the
abOve-described fashion. Jumping up from
her rocking chair, her majesty clutched her
attendant by the wrist and angrily exclaimed:
Il have caught you at last You are ruin
ing my hair"
With presence of mind which would have
done honor to an expert diplomat, the maid
replied, unhesitatingly; Il implore your
majesty to forgive me. 1t never happened
before. l only wished to have my sover-
eigns hair to put in the loexet which NY
little girl wears around her neck as tails
man"
Whether the empress believed or not this
clever invention, do not know, but shrug
ging her shapely shoulders, she resumed her
seat, laughing merrily; and the next day she
presented her maid with q locket enriched
with diamonds, saying, with mischievous
twinkle in her eyes: Il think this is the kind
OF talisman your little daughter deserves for
having such a clever mother"

There WAS fear that the government

be sd for gold.
Mr. Foster who was Secretary Of the
Treasury. favored selling bonds, and
President Harrison was urged 90 consent
10 the sale of an amount Of them that
would be sufficient 20 keep intact the
100000. 0o0of gold reserved in the treasury
for specific purpose. The gold reserve
was not touched upon, however, during
President Harrison administration, and
since Mr. Cleveland has been President
and Mr.. Carlisle Secretary Of the Treas
ury the effort 10 get the government TO
issue bonds for gold has been renewed
When the issuing Of bonds was first
suggested opinion was divided as to the
right of the President 70 issue them. II
is said that he has recently submitted the
question to the Attorney General who
has given an opinion that it is not only
his right, but his duty, TO issue bonds un-
der certain circumstances.
1t is stated that the President will not
issue bonds unless he finds it absolutely
necessary to do so TO prevent financial
disaster. It is understood that he Oh
tanned the opinion Of the Attorney Gen
eral in order 10 be in position to act
promptly should a condition of affairs
arise requiring him to decide upon the
advisa bility of issuing bonds. The
outflow of gold is still large, and
the 100000 900 of reserved gold has
been encroached upon TO the extent of
about $1,000 600. The reduction of the
gold in the treasury below the amount re-
served, does not, however, cause any
alarm, because the government has said
that gold payments will be maintained.
Some doubt is expressed as to whether
the President will call an extra session of
congress in September to consider the
financial issue. What is wanted is the re-
peal of the Sherman silver purchase act.
If the President believed that congress
would repeal this act it is probable that
he would call it together at once. If he
should still have doubt in September as
TO what would be its action as TO that act
he might not call an extra session at that
time. The belief seems to be that con-
gressmen are gradually being converted
to the necessity Of repeating that act, and
that within two or three months a
majority in favor of repeating it can be
deneuded unOu

en- incident that would have been
laughable had itoccurred elsewhere took
place during the Decoration day exercises
at Gen. Grants tomb. The Spanish in
fanta, it will be remembered, took part in
the exercises and ex-Gov. Foraker, of
Ohio, delivered the Grafton of the day.
The infanta hal left the tomb long before
ex-Gov Foraker began to speak, but,
ignorant of that fact, and not knowing
the princess, the orator addressed certain
remarks in his speech intended for the
infanta TO a Mrs. Topham, who stood
near thanked by foreigners in gold braid
Looking Mrs. Topham straight in the
face, ex-Gov. Foraker assured her that
he expressed the sentiments of the rank
and file of the grand army when he
thanked her, a princess of Spain, for hon
oring the occasion with her presence"
The ex-governor's friends knew the lady
was not the princess and tugged at his
coat tails, but nc brushed them off and
continued his address to royalty Mrs.
Topham said afterward that the situation
appeared to her TO be very ridiculous, but
in her sympathy for ex-Gov. Foraker in
his blunder she thought little of her own
position.

limiting National Banks.

The controller of the currency has de-
cided to grant a charter to no national
bank that is intended TO be a tail to a
speculative kite. 1t seems that quite
number of the national banks that have
failed recently were mere tails to specu-
lative kites, and it is the purpose of the
controller to have no more of that kind.
Two national banks at Fargo, N. D.,
were closed last Monday by the con
troller He discovered that they were
not doing strictly legitimate banking
business. e. A. Means, who is president
Of both of them, begged to be permitted to
reopen them, saying he would be able to
pay dollar for dollar. His request, how
ever, was not granted. The controllers not
only determined to grant no more char
ters to banks of that kind, but to close
up those that are doing speculative sort
of business as fast as he discovers them.
1t has been an easy matter to get a ma

a charter had only TO get the Endorsement

on this and the influence of speculation on

ness in contracts of that magnitude in a
