Hoy, of Philadelphia; Superintendent of Folding Room, Joseph Johnson, of Beaver, The Extra Session of Congress. President Cleveland, before con cludiog bis official labors as President, will issue a proclamation summoning the new United States Senate to exe cutive session to meet on the 4th of March next. This is always done by a retireiog President to enable bis successor to nominate bis Cabinet and fill such other appointment as may be deemed necessary in starting upon his great work. It would be obvious ly indelicate for a new Cabinet to en ter upon its duties without confirma lion Dy toe benate. Ibis executive session of the Senate can consider only nominations and treaties; it cannot take up any legislative measures. It is understood that one of Presi dent McKioley's first acta after bis lnauguartion will be to summon Con gress id extra session about the middle of March. As it is generally known that au extra session will be called, Congress could as readily meet in ten days after the inauguration as at a later period. All appreciate the im ponance oi caving an extra session meet as early aa possible, since it has i i-t,,.. . . ueen ceciaea mat sucn a session is necessary. The new administration transfers the national authority from Democra tic to Republican control, and it logi cally involves some important changes in the policy of the national govern meat. As the tariff entered largely into the last campaign, it is expected that tariff revision will be one of the features of the Dew administration, and if any material tariff revision is to come at all, the sooner it is ac oomplisbed the better it will be for the business interests of the country With tariff changes inevitable, as long as the specific changes are in supposi tion, there will be more or less paral ysis in business and industrial Inter ests of the country until the question is disposed of, and the earlier the new Congress meets and the sooner it dis penses of the tariff issue, the sooner can the business of the country adjust itself to the new conditions. Phila, Timet, Dan. The Election of Senator Penrose. The formal election of a United States Senator by the Pennsylvania legislature took piece on Tuesday of last week, resulting in the choice of State Senator Boies Penrose, of Phil adelphia, the Pepublioso caucus oom-1 inee. The vole was as follows: In the Senate Penrose, 42 ; Chauncey F. Black, 6; Senator Penrose did not vote, and Senator B. B. Mitchell nf Bradford was absent on account of sickness. In the House Penrose, 168; Black, 33; Wanamaker 1, Moore of Chester county bolting the Republican ticket. On Wednesday the Senate and House met in joint session, and the journals of each branch was read, and the presiding officer, Lieut. Gov. Lyon, declared the official result as 210 for Penrose, 39 for Black, and 1 for Wanamaker, and signed the certificate of election of Mr. FeDrose. England is reminded by the famine and plague in India that an empire with its roots in every part of the world is subject to great cares along with its great possessions. The queen's speech shows that there are heaps of trouble on the old lady's mind, but she manifests do in clination of turning over to Albert Edward the cares of the British Empire. The Republicans of Virginia and Tennessee were cheated out of their victory last year, but they can see in the vigorous growth of their party the coming regeneration of two great states, and when it comes it will stay. John Sherman's career shows that a man need not be President in order to make American history of the highest importance. A President lasts eight years at the outside, while Sher man's tenure has been over forty years. Essay Read by Mrs. T. E. Armstrong at Farmers' Institute. The fact that the deficit is about (90,000 a day is tempered by the re flection that the number of days the people will bave to stand it is taper ing off beautifully. Mubdebers will belong to a pri vileged class when they are guaran teed a painless death. It is not every one who die from natural causes who finds his way into the next world made painless. The official statement of exports and imports for December shows very clearly that the wave of prosperity is steadily approaching, and that the be ginning of Republican rule is all that is needed to bring about a rapid re etoiation of the oouotry'e former pros perity. St. Louis Globs-Democrat. SOCIABILITY IM COUNTRY LIFE. Ue who has not spent at least a part of his lire in the country ha missed one of the greatest' means nf happiness a lov ing Heavenly Father has to bestow on His children. It is there we sit on the lap of Mother Nature and study her beauties and delve among her secret treasures and cull from her every source gems of rarest beauty and design j and as we drink In the notes of the sweetest songsters, or listen to the low murmer of the pebbly brook as it hurries along, or wander In the deep shadows of the forest it seems fitting that we should thank God for placing us In such a pleasant part of the universe. But, it has been apparent for many years that there Is a growing discontent among farmers and farmers' fatnillos, for, no matter how great may be the moral, physical and financial benefits derived from a life on the farm there still remains the desire to associate more with their fellow-beings and to be in closer touch with what thsy consider the more fortun ate portion of our population, i. e., those who reside in city or town. It is true tbeie are not so many persons needed now on the farm to do the work as were required a quarter of a century ago. This is due in a great measure to the many kinds of machinery which have been invented for the farmer's benefit. What formerly required several persons weeks to accomplish may now be done in as many days.' This is specially true of the harvest season ; hence the boys, yes and girls too, rush off to seek their fortunes elsewhere. One other reason why so many of our young men are anxious to leave the farm is that so many of our young women do not consider farmers sons so desirable for life partners as' are the young men reared in town. This is h false idea; for whatever may be lacking in the "rubbed finish" of the man will generally be overbalanced by his sterling integrity, correct idea of morals, his industrious habits usually acquired with life on the farm. While he may not be able to dis cuss the latest plays or the newest figures cut on the waxed floor of the daoclng hall, there is no reason under the sun why his better self may not be as well cultivated as his city cousin. It ie a well known fact that country boys and girls are capable of filling im portant positions both In the trades and professions. I have in tu'ud a little country church which in a few years sent out nine of her sons to preach the gospel some of which are now filling important pulpits in N. Y. and Philadelphia, and one is a professor in one of our leading Penu a colleges. I can name a great many fartners' daughters who stand high in the medical profession, on the lecture platform, as public singers, as musio teachers, as principals of schools, as nurses, as milliners, and in fact in a great many other Important walks in life. There are some country people who have an idea that magazines, books, pa pers, and music are not intended for the inhabitants of the rural districts, and consider it of no use for them to waste either time or money on anything but the bare articles of necessity. Would you have your sous and daugh ters grow to be intelligent, refined men and women provide them with good books ; subscribe for a good magazine or two and some other papers besides the lo cal paper which of course should be in every house in the laud. Teach them to sing, furnish them with a good musi cal instrument of some kind and have them taught how to use it. Allow each member of the family the privilege of thinking and acting a litttle for himself. Give the family a holiday occasionally as well as taking one your self. There are numerous R. R. excursions which are in themselves great educators; If patronized the family will become somewhat familiar with traveling which will be a benefit to them in after life as well as affording recreation for the pres ent, and the point to which the excursion usually runs is likly to bo of more than local importance, but beware of the Sab bath excursion which is one of the grest evils of this fast ago in which we live. Dress yourself and family as well as your means will allow. "Clothes don t make the man" or woman but they im prove the appearanco of the individual very much after he is made. When you go to town don't stint your wife or child in (he price of a decent hat that you may have the oilier 50 cents with which to lay in a stock of tobies suffi cient to last you till your next visit to town and then wonder why she, whom you hare chosen from the whole world as your help-meet doesn't look as trig as some other women you have seen. Just think of the fact that you are sending up in smoke that which would have added materially to her appearance and that you are also polluting the air which she of necessity must inhale as she sits or walks by your side. And now a word to the feminine por tion ot the household. When you select a hat or dress or what ever the article may bo, don't choose tho cheap, gaudy, high colored articles which ou will find displayed conspicuously, but taKe a little time and solect a quieter color nnd a better quality and have it neatly made and when you come to wear the article you will have more respect for yourself and other people will respect u accordingly. Few persons care fo associate with a woman dressed so sho resembles a walking circus bill-board. Interest yourself iu what is going on around you. Pay a littlo attention to tho birds and boos and smaller insects; you will be surprised how much you can learn from their habits and the time will be well spent. Find out the names of the numerous plants and flowors which abound on every farm, and whioli are noxious and which useful, their impor tance to tho medical world and various things of interest about them. But v. hat has this to do with ".Sociabil ity in Country LifoT" Just this! We are each one created for some mission in life and are only able to occupy our place in society when we have Improved the tal ents God has given us. Our moral, phy sical and Intellectual lives must be culti vated and developed before we caii ex pect to become important factors in society. A deeper fooling of individual respon sibility Is necessary to bring about a bet ter state of society, and a bettor condition for the individual members of it. How may cordiality in the country be promoted T 1st. Be sensible. Make your home at tractive. When I say attractive I do not mean expensively built or furnished; but make the best of the as onus Frovi dence has given you, and thus you will be silently but powerfully influencing lue lives ot all who come in contact with it. Don t be afraid to entertain. Invite yuur uieguoors in 10 upend a part or a day and take dinner with you. You have an abundance of everything that is good and In Its best condition with which to supply your table, and to take off ones wraps and visit a few heurs seems so much more satisfactory than are tho short formal calls which fashion has de creed are the proper thing in town. Think of a woman making from twelve to twenty calls iu a single afternoon and then terming it soc.ability. And the men well what man would care to accompany his wife on a round of this kind. 2nd. Be sociable. If you have frieuds or acquaintances in the citv orlaruotown don't tail to VI vite them to spend a few days at your country homo iu tho course of the year. It will not add materially to your labors and expenses and will be so much appreciated by thoso whose lives are so crowded aud crushed in the bustl and whirl of the city, and who perhaps never ha! a ride except on the street cars. I recall a party of girls from the city who spent a few weeks at our farm homo one summer when I was a girl who said they had never enjoyed anything so much as horseback riding along the quiet country roads and in tho liolds and woods and in exploring a coal mine near by all such simple ways all of which were new and instructive to them and meanwhile they wore brightening our quiet home by their presence. Then there are city people who would enjoy a visit to the country in winter, for sleighriding in the city is a luxury and one has to possess a well-filled purse to be able to patronize a city livery stable, j.ue city menus won't rorget your kindness but will be only too happy to invite you to visit their homes and thus afford you an opportunity to see some of the sights with which you are not famil iar. Thus, In bringing happiness to them you bring happiness to yourself. 3rd. Be sociable. Let the young folk have lots of picnics and boating parties if near a stroam and sleighing parties in the winter. The ladies might meet with their worn such as sewing, kuittiug and crocheting and fancy work, yes, aud mending and talk while they work and thus break ii the monotony or a quiet country life. 4tb. Be sociable. In one farming coin munity with which I am familiar the dif ferent families took turns at entertaining all the other families of tiie neighbor hood, one eve each week They had music, games and interesting selections read each eve, a plain supper or lunch was always served and tho whole winter filled with sociability, for each evo was pleasauter thau the preceding one. Revive the old fashioned spelling bees and reading circles both of which aro en tertaining aud instructive. Let the young people meet together of ten at your home and thus counteract the tendency of the boys to go where thei morals may be corrupted and where they may contract habits which will blast their lives for all time. Above all loam to ho contented with your station in life. "It is tiie heart Unit makes a man rich. He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according t what lie has." Be content with enou which is "as good as a feast." Happy would we eaeli one be if ' could say with .Shakespear's shepherd "(Sir, 1 am a true laborer, i earn what wear : owe no man hale: envy no loan' happiness, glad of other men's good, con tented with my farm." Place high your social standard aud press steadily onward with firm truail till the great Master shall call tliee to si down to the marriage supper of ti e Lamb and thou shall hear the commendation "Well done thou uo.id and faithful ser vant."
