FIELD AND FOREST CALL.

There Is field, that leans upon two hills,
Foamed DER with flowers, and twinkling
with clear rills;
That. In its girdle OF wild acres bears
The anodyne Of rest that cures all cares;
Wherein soft wind and sun and sound arc
blent.
And fragrance-as In some old instrument
Sweet chords--calm things, that natures
magic spell
Distils from beavers azure cfucibe
And pours on earth to make the sick mind
we'll
There lies the path, they say
Come away! Come awayl
There Is n forest. lying twixt two streams.
Sung through of birds and haunted OF dim
dreams;
That In its league-long hand OF trunk and
leaf
Lifts n green wand that charms away all
grief,
Wrought OF quaint silence and the stealth
OF things
Vague, whispering touches, CLEANS and twit-
terngs,
Dews and cool shadows-that the mystic
soul
or nature permeates with suave control
And waves DER earth to make the sad heart
whole.
There lies the road, they say
Come away Come away

The waist lining fits snugly and to-

No combination of colors is more
fashionable or more delightful to the
eye than Parma violet and black. The
attractive and stylish house gown, il
lustrated in the large engraving, unites
soft wool Henrietta in the former shade
with trimmings of black and in every
way suited to all informal home wear.
The yoke, which is feature of the
season, Is of black Liberty satin laid
in tucks and ruche of the same trims

narrow bands, and the waist ribbon
are both of velvet.
The fitted lining is snug but not
over tight, and extends only slightly
below the waist line. To it are at

fronts and the Vatican back, which
always lends dignity to the wearer.
The sleeves are small enough for style,
yet not sufficiently tight to mean in

Bilkins and his wife occupied seats
in the dress circle. The curtain had
Just gone up for the second act, the
first scene showing the heroine in
street costume. As Bilkins rested his
gaze upon the woman his face wore
puzzled expression. Several times he
took hurried glances at the program
he had in his hand. He became so
deeply interested that he attracted the
attention of his wife.
"What do you see that interests You
SOP" inquired his wife. ''She isn't
pretty"
''Mary, isn't that the same hat that
woman wore in the last act?" ex-
claimed Bilkins, seemingly ignoring
his wifes question.

ton of the stage. 81 think it is, she
replied, "but what of it?"

While the two Senators differed di-
ametrically as to the policy of expan-

The senate held two executive ses-
sions to-day. At the first an unanim-
Gus agreement was reached to vote
on the peace treaty Monday. February
s, at p. m, and at the second SEN
ator Davis presented the American
commissioners reasons for the accept

til the vote Is taken the Senate will
go into executive session each day at

Davis also offered an amendment to

the terms of the treaty. The amend
ment has the Endorsement of the COM

livered in the house by Mr.. Johnson

loudly cheered as he brought forth
telling points. and the applause was
especially strong from the Democratic
side from the beginning to the end of
his speech. Mr.. Dolliver, of Iowa. re-
piled to Mr.. johnson. and the imper-
ialists on the Republican side APP
plauded him repeatedly as he upheld
the policy of putting the Philippines
under the guardianship of the Amer
lean Government. Mr.. Gibson URep.,

passage of the bill.
FIFTY-TH1RD DAY.
The feature Of the third days de-
bate on the bill for the reorganization
and increase of the regular army was
an hours speech by Mr.. Grosvenor,
of Ohio, whose utterances, rightly or
wrongly, are frequently supposed to
reflect the views of the president.
MIR. Grosvenor declared most em-
phatically that the present situation
in the PHILIPPINES was due to the open
opposition in this country To the rati-
fcatiou of the peace treaty.
First speaking of those who imag
ined the army bill threatened an as
sault upon their liberties. Mr.. Gros-
venor pointed out that but twice in the
history of the country had the regular
army been used save in war. He
recalled the action of President Cleve-
land during the Chicago riots in send
ing troops there upon the advice of
Secretary Olney. saying that that act
commended itself to him more than
any of the Cleveland administration.
The idea that the army might be in
voked to subvert our liberties was a
slander upon the American people.
FIFTY-FOURTH DAY.
The army reorganization bill was
under discussion i'm the house to-day.
The opposition to an increased regular
army OF 100000 men was decidedly
vigorous. Chairman Hull announced
on the floor that the committee would
offer amendments to reduce the num-
Der of enlisted men to about 10000,
but lodge in the Presidents discretion
the authority to increase the army to
maximum of 100000. These amend
ments have been prepared.
How far this proposed modification
will allay the opposition remains to
be seen. Johnson, OF Indiana. who
took a prominent part in the fight to-
day. after the general debate closed
declared that the purpose of the bill
is to have an army of 100000. either by
direct authority or the exercise of the
Presidents discretion, and he declared
his purpose to fight to the bitter end
the machinery which is being forged
for a colonial system.

geon. What seemed TO bo unto death is
shown to be achieving fuller life. The fire
that had threatened to consume only shrivels
our bonds so that We walk freely over the

beside God on the mount, while He passes
by and proclaims His name, and gives
His reasons, and takes us behind His
provdences. That illness was sent to rid
the system OF poison-taint that had else
proved fatal. That child was permitted ia
be deformed by terrible accident because
In no other way could she have been saved

fell because the young children of the house

The Rise of Humbl. Families.

In recent issue OF the Genealogi-
cal Magazine there is suggestive
article about the history of families,
in which the writer shows that nearly
all great families rise from humble
origin, marry into the aristocracy, and
then either end with an heiress or die
out. In any case there are not fifty
male pedigrees today that go back to
the conquest. An instance of this
curious fact occurs in the ancient fam
lily of the Lucys of Charlecote, War
wickshire, which is represented now
only by an heiress. Miss ssChrstine Lucy,
on her marriage, kept her own name
and her husband took hers in order
that the family cognomen might not
disappear. 1t was Lucy who dealt
with Shakespeare for deer stealing.

death-like silence; in spite, too. OF the
fact that now he Is rich beyond the
dreams of almost the most ambitiuos
musician.
I believe / was right in so interpreting
the expression the cause, i am told,
Is this. Like Millet, Paderewski had a
delicate wife; like Millet, he adored
her; as In the case OF Millet. she was
perishing from consumption-that Is
to say from the want OF the sun and
the South. But at the time Paderew-
ski had scarcely money enough for

and the wife died. His comment now
often Is that all his glory and all hia
money have come too late. ....,.
