Thompson. VICTORIA ALONE IS SERENE. Alt Other Enroptnr. Hoyaltfes Wear Their Crowni on Uneasy llemU. Queen Victoria lends a quieter and less ruffled life than the sovereign of any other country In Europe. She is not bothered with the business of run ning her government; she never gets involved in the squabbles of parties; i she moves from one of her royal resi dences to another according to -her pleasure; she Indulges In a foreign tour whenever she is disposed; she does not need even to keep an eye on the prince of Wales nowadays, and the New York Sun thinks that her domestic cares must be light. All the other sovereigns have a hard time of it. Here is Oscar II., king of Sweden and Norway, tormented by tho Norwegian malcontents, bv the obstruc tive storthing and by Isben. Here Is William II. of Germany driven to his wits end by hectoring adversaries. Here is the king of tho Greeks, George I., always hard up and at times almost overwhelmed in a sea of troubles. Here is the king of the Belgians, Leopold II., whose throne was menaced a few weeks ago by his rebellious subjects nnd saved for a time only by his pru dence. Here Is the little king of Spain, Alfonso XIII., who must lie frightened when ho hears his subjects shouting for a republic. Here are the czar of Itussia, the king of Italy, the emperor of Austria aud the sultan of Turkey, the hardships of whom art? known to all the world. The young queen of the Netherlands, Wilhelmlna; the middle aged king of Portugal, Charles 1., and the'old king of Denmark, Christian IX., lead a tolerably quiet life, but they don’t amount to much, anti may meet with bad luck any day. Among all the sovereigns of Europe it is her Brlt annic majesty alone wlio is always per fectly serene. In Africa there are no first-class sov ereigns, and we make this remark here, though it may enrage several of the sultans in tho northern part of that continent. In Asia there are only two first-class sovereigns, the emperor of China and the emperor of Japan, both of whom seem to have a pretty good time. As for the poor shah of Persia, and as for the second-hand rulers in India, who must lie low before their British masters, they can only take life as it comes. In all America, north aud south, there is not a single royal sov ereign. Sweet Corn. Genuine sweet com is one of the things that city people—who stay in the city—know nothing’ about that is worth knowing. The “sweet corn" they buy In the market, hours after it has been gathered, has nearly If not quite lost its saccharine quality, and is little better than common field corn in the milk. To be'enjoyed in all Its pristine sweetness, sweet corn must be plucked from Ihe stalk and dumped forthwith into the pot. Then—if it is indeed sweet com, and not a miserable pre tender to that distinction—It is food for the gods. But how rarely one meets with genu ine sweet com! Some years ago we were entertained by a friend in Albany, who regaled us with sweet com from his garden. Such com we have never tasted before nor since. Wo don’t know the variety—our entertainer did not— and seed that we obtained from him In the fall and planted the following year did not turn out nearly as well—per haps on account of change of soil and climate. Every farmer’s table ought to be abundantly supplied, during the season, with this toothsome vegetable. There ore several varieties, some earlier than others, nnd of very unequal merit. Among these the. black Mexican ranks as one of the very best in flavor, its color being the sole objection to it— nnd for private consumption that amounts to nothing. StoweH’s Ever green stands also in the front rank for quality, though no longer, as usually grown, really “evergreen.” Plant for a succession In carefully prepared ground, give thorough culti vation, and then enjoy the fruit of your labor In feastfng on one of the most delicious and wholesome products of field or garden.—Mail and Express. A Word About Bath Spouses. A bath sponge Is a satisfactory toilet article only when it is well cared for. If it is put away half cleaned and drip ping wet it will soon become offensive, and then its restoration to cleanliness is very difficult, lively time a bath sponge is used It should be washed with soap and warm water, rinsed in cold water, and then squeezed, not wrung, vigorously. In the summer it should be hung in the open air, and when possible in the sunshine. In win ter it should be dried by artiiieial heat. A sponge should never bn shut in a box, and the best place to keep it is on a hanging earthen tray or in an open basket of wire. A good bathing sponge has rather coarse port's, but is strong and soft in texture. The most expensive sponges, however, are tiny ones, which have the very linest holes and a silken texture. They are used for bathing little children and by sur geons. hw* American Oold Gomes Home. Kkw York.

Prraldent Cleveland Acts. Washington, July 1.—The President left here at 4:20 yesterday afternoon over the Pennsylvania ro.id for Huz zard's Hay, Mass, lie will be absent from tho capital three weeks or more, his stay depending uponcircuiqstances. Secretary Lamont accompanied the president, as far as New York. The president’s determination to leave tho city was only reached this morning' and his departure so suddenly loaves a number of important appointments agreed upon unsigned, and many sen ators and congressmen who have re cently arrived, in the lurch. It is un derstood that tho president will trans act only the most urgent public businoss while at Buzzard’s Hay and what offi cial announcements are to be made will be given out at tho executive mansion in Washington. At 8 o’clock last evening the follow ing proclamation was issued: Kvkcutivk Mansion, Washington, D. Of, June 30.—Whereas, The distress and apprehension concerning the finan cial situation which prevade all busi ness circles have already caused great loss and damage to our people, and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop tho wheels of manufacture, bring dis tress and privation to our farmers, and withhold from our workmen the wuge of labor, and Whereas, The prosent perilous con dition is largely the result of a finan cial policy which the executive branch of the government finds embodied in Unwise laws which must be executed until repealed by congress. Now, therefore, I, tlrovcr Cleveland, in performance of a constitutional duty, do by this proclamation, declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the convening of both houses of the con gress of the United States at the Capi tol in this city of Washington on tho 7th day of August next, at 12 o'clock, noon, to the end that people may be re lieved through legislation from present and impending danger an.d distress. All those entitled to act ns members of the Fifty-third congress are required to take notice of this proclamation and attend at tho time and place above stated. Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at the city of Wash ington, on the 30th day of June, in tho year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, and of the independence of the United States, the me hundred and seventeenth. Grover Cleveland. The president had left directions for the issuance of the proclamation before his departure for Gray Gables. The determination to call the extra session the first week in August instead of the first week in September, it is under stood, was only definitely arranged at yesterday morning's cabinet session, after giving full weight to the numer ous telegrams received from all parts of the country urging this course. A con sideration which caused the president to change his mind was foreshadowed in the remark made by one of his cabi net officers two days ago, that if the president received reasonable assurance that there was a likelihood of a prompt repeal of the so-called Mherman pur chase law, he might be disposed to call congress together earlier than he had announced. It is inferred from the fact that the president has done so that lie considers that he has obtained the as surance he desired. Most of the cabinet members have followed the president’s example and left the city, or are leaving the city for brief vacations. Those who remain say the president's proclamation speaks for itself and decline to discuss the situa tion further. It Vh a Surprise. Washington, July 1.—There seem3 every reason to believe that all the speculations as to the tinje of the meet ing of congress indulged in prior to 1 p. m. yesterday were guess work. Some of them, as it turns out cow, were very lucky guesses, and others wete equally unfortunate. It is almost con clusive established that the calling of an August session was not determined upon until after midday, and conse quently could not have been com municated to any person in con fidence or otherwise, days in advance. The plain facts appear to be that the disturbance of values arising from the uncertainties of the situation grew so alarming that Mr. Clevelandwas at last compelled to acknowledge that ‘'the unexpected contingencies necessitating an earlier meeting of congress,'’ which he spoke of in his celebrated interview of June 5, had arrived. The action of the British government in India had brought matters to a crisis. Previous to that startling event, Mr. Cleveland had manifested a firm determination to ad here to his plan of calling congress to gether in September. Uncle Sam’s Receipt* for the Tear Will Be in Exces* of Ills Expenditure*. Washington, July 1.—Treasury offi cials are deep in the mystery of figures today, closing up the vast money ac counts of the government for the fiscal year 1892-93. The figures will be offi cially proclaimed tomorrow and will show in round numbers that the total receipts for the year have aggregated 8395.000,000, while the expenditures will foot up $393.000,000, leaving a sur plus of receipts above expenditures of $2,000,000. This was the estimate sub mitted by Secretary Foster to congress as the probable surplus of the fiscal year closed yesterday and results prove it to have been prophetically accurate. In this estimate, how^yer, Mr. Foster did,mot take into account the payment of the CheroWe Indian claimhf'$3,000, 000. Had this not been paid the re ceipts would have been f 5,000,000 in excess of the expenditures. Mol Forsrtjf, bat Dlitruit that Affaots tha Country. Wasiunoton, July 3.— Ex-Senator, John 11. Henderson of Missouri, who has devoted long and careful study to the matters of finance, has addressed to Secretary Carlisle a communication in which ho says: "I promised to glvo you in writing the substance of my statements made to you in conversa tion touching the monetary condition of the country. “1 then expressed the belief that the present stringency of 'our currency io produced, not by any Inch or insuffi ciency of our currencyH but by tho loss of confidence produced among .business men because of tho bad quality ftnil in ferior character of a largo part of that currency. Mr. Henderson then gjvea a history of our financial legislation from which he says that neither individual • pros perity nor commercial prosperity is con trolled by the circulating medium and that the present financial distress is due entirety to the silver nets of 1878 anti of 1800. In conclusion he says: “Of tho five of 80,000,000 of gold with which wo begun In t879, none can now be found in circulation. Whnt lias not gone to foreign countries, enjoying the blessing of a single standard, lias been hoarded, not to re-appour until its hold ers have some guarantee, if loaned, that It will bo repaid in money equally good. The gold certificates not already forced upon tho government for re demption arc no longer seen. Tho United States notes for redemption which the 8100,000,000 gold resorvo is supposed to bo hold for by tho govern ment, constitute tho best security of national banks, and hencu the green back is rapidly disappearing. Thb na tional bank notes are nocossarily hold, if possible, by the banks issuing them fh fear that in the extremity of dis tress their redemption may soon ho asked in gold. Nothing is loft but sil ver certificates and treasury notes.
