MBS. MORTON'S WAT, Probably there la no one in onr broad land who has not extended a warm greeting to tbe ladies of the new administration in Waehi-gton, without regard to political views. Vet we would not be among those to forget or n gleet the out-goiog on account of the m-coming. Americans have every reason to be boi h proud and grateful that to many of the wives of those men whom the nation has honored by plac ing in position of power and trust have been so eminently worthy of respect and imitation. Ve cannot know too much about them. Ccucernii g the charming "ways" of the wile of our late ice-J 'resident we quote a delightful letter from Mar garet Spencer, which appeared in the Washington J-.'rininr V irs. "I'ersonal loss was felt by every member of the President's official family when Mrs. flarrison died. To Mrs. Morton, the Vice-President's wife, the death in the White House brought also many cares and respon sibilities. As the first Lady of the Administration, all matters or cocial importance would Lave to be referred to her judgment; her plans and wishes would be those for firnt consideration, and her decimons would be final. She was loved and admired -by all the women of the Cabinet; nevertheless, she felt no desire to assume the formal public duties of her new position. Hut tbe social world of Washington bad long looked to Mrs. Morton as a leader. She was well placed as first lady. Mr. I'laine once en id of her: "She is a born organizer. She inspires oonndence and loalty in her social duties, just as rbe does in her domes tic affairs. They move without fric tion. " Mrs. Morton enjoys an old world distinction for sooml elegance. Put although she is famous for her magnif icent diplomatic hospitality during the four years' residence iu Pari) when Mr. Morton was American Minister to r'runce. and as a leader of crliiiul cir cles in Washington, and as a society queen in her Fifth avonne home in New York, it bus been only a small and minor part of .Mrs. Morton's life! to regally entertain and stand in her place in tut- pageant. Hundreds nave . thronged the pohhc receptions to "see Mrs. Morton" to note her gown, her hair, the deep bine of her eyes, her diamonds, or the manner of her smile and her voice; but this does not con stitute the joy of life for her. Tlie doors of the Vice-President's handsome house on Scott Circle have never been closed to the public. It is thronged on reception days and visited by reporters, photogr ph and auto graph seekers an ! men and women with "wautH'' on all days, and courte ous attention is accorded each and every one. It is a cheerful and radiant house. The hall is gay and bright with Turk ish and ( Inn He draperies, wood fires, green puIniH and cosy corners. The reception rooms are white and cold. Mrs. Morton's ollieml reception room is a dainty tea color. This opens into a I large room, hung in silk like one's great chintz pattern ; Grandmother's gown. The dining iu. ra is in oak and red, with lni!)ets of clmny. Thesuony family sitt'iig-ivom over tbe lilrury is full of books and biuging birds and flowers. In summer the family lives t Eller slie, at lhinel'cck on the Hudson. This Is an eslate of 1,00 I acres, with a dairy ot 10(1 Guernseys, with beautiful Italian gardens, and parks of old elms and maples. An .English peer spending a few days on the Hudson nith them lust year, said; "W eu tbey entertained me in Paris I thought tiiem remarkable, but now that I see the bigness of their lives in America, 1 cease to wonder." This "b gness" is not in their circumstances, many a millionaire is very small of soul, but in their hearts. Pour years ai', uh n, as Vice Presi dent, Mr .Morion chuir to Washington, the five little girls of the family were between the aL'es of seven and fifteen Edith, Lena, Helen, Alice and little Mary. They are all blue-eyed and fair, blonde like their mother, and all have the strong features of their father. No one will forget the picture of the Vice President anil Mrs. .Mot ton as they walked through the great Pension Building at the last inaugural ball, with four lovely young girls' close be side them, dressed iu simple gowns of wnito rutin the simplest gowns in all that gay assemblage. They lived at the Slioreham awhile, and tLe Vice President was to be seen any morning or after school hours tak ing brisk walks down Connecticut ave nue with three or four pretty girls hanging to his arm, all "holding hands," wholly occupied with one an other. Sometimes the elder danghters took long gallops over the liock Creek hills with their father as escort. They all promise to be good horsewomen. Miss Lena looks very pretty, with her long braid of hair hanging down over her dark habit, and the yonnger ones wear their light hair flowing loosely on their shoulders. I hey are all of them fond of driving. Jilocks away one recog nizes the red-wheeled jauutv Morton cart filled with snuny-laced girls in snug jackets and caps, or in warmer weather, broad brown hats with a sky blue knot over their llaxeu hair sim ple, well bred American girls. Mrs. Morton was aunoyed the first season of the Administration by the newspaper repofts and society gossip that she was "bringing her daughter out" She spoke of it to Mrs. Harrison one day. "it is absurd to say our Edith is out in society. It makes me ashamed to be considered such a silly woman. Edith is as tall as I, and a womanly. sensiDie gin, dm, sue is only filteen, ami a kusv scuool girl, hlie is un spoiled as at ten, and we think she will be at twenty. I "It is a sad Right to see young girls ' ont in society at fifteen or seventeen ; dressed iu velvets, satins and laces, los- ! ing their beauty sleep in heated, crowded rooms, night after night. Nothing so depreciates me in the eyes of my hus Imnd and myself as to he dusked with foolish mothers. 1 blnsti when leeeina foeit ty column my mime as a mother, who is bringiug out her little girls. 1 wish the robcbud nonsense could be w ped out." Miss K.litU Is now nineteen, a tall, expressive, strong-faced girl, or beauti ful presence and carriagp. As the el. lent daughter of the ice President, ahe has just this winter appeared in aoeiety. The Mortons observe the routine of simplicity and regularity. When pos sible they retire e rlv aud rise between 6 and 7. The children have alwavs been "early to bed ami early to rise," and Lave minded vuiions other good old-fashioned rules of our grand mothers. The Morton home is ier jfectly free from gossip, criticism, aud unkind views of people and affairs. Tbe little girls at table were never al lowed to hear any person spoken light ly of or ridiculed as to dress or man ners. One of tbe household overheard a caller nav, "I do wonder why Mrs. Morton allows the Crown children to play with Mary so much. They are far, far beneath Ann Livingstone Street : Morton ana all tier una of ances try. I am surprised." Mrs. Morton also heard it and said: "Their fath er is a gentleman of honor and their mother a lady ; they have had misfor tunes." "But they are not the children yon hould choose?" Airs. Morton replied, "Mr little Mary will learn good lessons of them." (Senator B once remarked, "My litU friends, the Mortons, will nerei pray tbe prayer of poor little Amanda, brought np in tociety: Ob, Lord, at me die right away and go to he ven and play with the Irish children en Saturday afternoons." They are, indeed, singularly free from all notions about "society." In stead, they have a hobby if it may be so called that ont-doors is life. There la never-failing Koou cneer among them. Studies have never been al lowed to crowd ont Nralka and drives. and troubled questions of Latin and algebra have never vexed the small heads when they should be sleeping. The rooms of the Morton girls are simply furnished girlish in pretty knick'knacks and comfort. Many of the children's roon a used by our Presi dents, Vice Presidents and Ui.:,i offi cials are less extravagant than tLose of strngglers who "keep ac appear noes." Once, when asked al-out tbe rearing of her daughters, Mrs. Morton mude her reply with great seriousness 'TLe mental and physical education of my children began very early. As I carried them on my breast and held them in my arms, I ielt the responsibility of these, my little ones. Their father is wise and tender and helpfnl. We plan and work together in all things for their health, their ed ucation, their teachers and recreations. So long as possible, we keep them un der onr direct influence." When the three elder children were quite small Mrs. Morton was very ill with neuralgia, from which she still snners, and both doctor and nnrse in sist, d npon banishing the babies. Mrs. Morton sent for them in despair one morning. "I must see them," she said. The nnrse was terrified, bnt the pale, sweet mother held the little rosy things in her arms, and they chattered and covered her with soft kisses and gave her big bugs, and she told her husband that "the little voices and soft lips were better than medicine." Kindliness rules the day in the Mor ton home, in practice and precept. Tbe girls have their deeds of helpful ness to do as a matter of course; almost any day can be seen the Vice President's bis red-wheeled coach with the high-stepping bays, the coschman Bnd footman liveried in rich plain color, wearing eockaded hats, going on errands of charity. S.imetiuios filled with yonng laces, it is on the w y to the "Gni!d" or the "Iaisy Chain Society," of which Miss Leua is the president. This society is building a new hospital for poor children, and has already paid for a handsome lot and has the plans for tbe building If these yonng girls inherit but a modicnm of their mother's tact and yinpathy they will be well "por. tioued ' for their positions in society. No one suffers a mortification or is left unnoticed in Mrs. Morton's house. To little pleasant anecdotes to that effect often quietly go the rounds of her friends. A political gnest and friend of the Vice President dined with them some time ago Mrs. Morton used an im ported set of exnnisitelv rtnintod dnv. iieSt j8t ordered from Paris, most daintv work from tne atelier of a noted water-color artist. After dipping his finders in the finger bowls the guest deliberately drew ont the precious filmy painting, crushed it into a small ball, and desperately tried to dry his fingers, meanwhile in learned words bilking to his hostess. Mrs. Morton smiled charmingly and said: "Such flimsy doylies are useless let me give you another bnt you know it's the iashion. Tbe grateful politician accepted the napkin and failed to see his mistake. The other is an incident of a large reception when Mr. Morton was Sena tor, held in the old historic Hooper mansion. The drawing-rooms were crowded, but Mrs. Morton noticed two old ladies dressed in very, very . Id-fashioned wiaps and gowns. Sh- left the line of ladies receiving with her and went to them. With a sweet smile Bhe said: "1 am glad to see yon again to-day. I remember seeing you last wee." They were gentlewomen and gave their names, and one of them said pleasantly, "it is a great pleasure, 31 rs. Morton, to see you so well sus taining, the reputation of this old house for hospitality. We used to visit here when we were young girls, and we will stay a little if no one minds." "I hope you will come every week,," replied Mrs. Morton. "I shall look for you." Tne sweet smilo and cordial words were never forgotten. The old ladies used to repeat the little story to their great-grandchildren, and afthongh I j hear it often wun many of tne like it ! is good for old women to hear, for of ' too many (.reat ladies in our land there seem to be no little stories of kindness ) to tell; at least none are floating : about 'A Horse's Grler lor His Master A neighbor of ours was one day ploughing with a favorite horse, but had only gone three rounds, when the summons that must sooner or later come to all, came to him, and he dropped dead beside his plow. He was at work a long distance from the house, and nothing was -known of bis death until his horse went home at noon without him; then they went In search of him, his horse accom panying them. "When they had reached the spot where the'poor nian had fallen the ground around had been trampled up where the horse had tried to get loose from the plow, and as the swingietree had been fast ened to the plow by an open ring, had Anally succeeded. He then tried to lift bis master un. tiiillini; at his coat with his teeth, tearing it In sev eral places; failing in this he had gone home. The man was taken home, and his horse put in the stable and fed, but he refused his food, and could not stay quiet at all, walking back and forth and looking out of a window that overlooked the field. ! Whenever he was turned out after- wards for a good while he would jump into the field and go to the spot where he had last seen his dead mas ter, then go to the gate as if to go home, then run back again until some one would go arter him and le.nl him home. Dear faithful friend! Leisure Hours. To Ward On Cholera. It seems that we can successfully fight cholera with oranges and lem ons. The Imperial health office of lierlin has issued an announcement to the effect that oranges and lemons are both fatal to the cholera bacillus. Placed in contact with the cut sur face of the fruit, tbe bacteria survive but a few hours. They remain active for ionic time longer on the unin jured rind of the Truit, but even then they die within twenty-four hours. The destructive properly as regards the cholera bacteria Is supposed to be due to the lare amount of acid contained in those fruits. .In conse quence of this quality, the health officer considers it unnecessary to place any restrictions on the transit and -sale of these fruits, even if it ' should be ascertained that they come from places where cholera is preva lent at the time. Kot a single in stance was noted in which cholera was disseminated by either oranges or Unions, , Co'.umbus brought elg t nozs to thlf 1 country on his stconu voyage. j A LEAP FKOM A LONDON BPAB- BOW'S BIOQUAPHI. BY ANNIE JEKKTN3. I sat one snnny day by tbe window, on the top story of a open old bouse in Paternoster How. 1 had been practising short-band all the morning, bnt feeling weary and disheartened, I had dropped my pen cil, and was dreamily gazing at the bouses opposite, when a sparrow alighted on the window-sill, and put ting its little bead on one side in a most knowing fashion, said: "Good afternoon; may I ask if that Is Pitman's method yon are learning?" Almost petrified with astonishment. ) and yet politely trying not to show my surprise, x replied "Yes, Mr. Sparrow, pray why do you want to know?" "Oh!" he answered carelessly, "sim ply because 1 consider Lis system the btst, and as a wish my biography pub lished after my decease, I have thought yon might like to write it, and wonld be glad of a few hints and incidents from me now. If we cannot finish to - aay, ne auuea, "we win meet here again to-morrow after dinner. The bird's coolness quite took my breath away, and before 1 fully rea lized it, I was busily writing from his dictation. "I am a member,' he began, "of the fenns Passer of the finch family, and believe it is not pride which bids me aver that I am the most well-known bird in Oreat Britain. "I was born under the eaves of the oldest firm in the flow. 1 shall not mention tbe name of it now, for 1 1 should not like them to be troubled dnring my lifetime with crowds look ing over the premises. I am known in the literary world, as were my grand father and my great-great-grand father before me. They, too, were born under the same roof, so that it may be said that our family for generations past, have lived and died in an atmosphere of literature. When I am dead I shall not mjnd the public knowing my birth place, but remember that the firm be duly informed previously, because I know there will be a rush to inspect the spot, especially if it be in the Summer time, when the American birds are over. They have a particular fancy for visit ing the homes of celebrites, especially those of a pat oentnry. I suppose that is because they have so few past centuries of their own, and fewer an cestors who were celebrated. Any hoar, they must be kept from even guessing the house as yet, but for tbe benefit of tbe yonng English birds who may overhear me talking to yon, I will say that our firm, as we call it, bought the business from the man who published 'Pobinson Crusoe,' which fact alone, will make it of Inter est to them. "Bnt to return to my immediate family though before I go further, 1 should like to sav that you must not mind my wanderings a bit. You must be to me as Boswell was to Johnson, ' to take down every word. It is strange, bnt I can say to yon, as the great man said to Boswell when he first met him by appointment at the 'Mitre.'in Fleet Street, '1 have taken a liking to you.' Jui to proceed.

Poor Chatterton told a lie, too, which was a very wicked thing to do. He pretended that he had found a lot of poetry in nn old chest in his parish church iu Bristol, instead of which he had coniposea and written it all him self. He thought there is no harm in doing evil, that good may come; but a lie is a lie, and wrong is wrong, always and ever.

Poor Thomas Chatterton l I say to myself as he disappears, there are ruany like you in London to-day need ing only some helping hand to wrest them from despair-" Shoe Leather Want. How much shoe leather Is dally worn from the soles of foot passengers in London? Analysts tell us that among the many ingredients which go to make up London mud shoe leather occupies a prominent place. It may be assumed that 3,000,000 people daily do more or less walking in London with boots and shoes on their feet, and that on an average six grains of leather Js worn from the soles of each. On this assumption, it 1 follows that every day 2,344 pounds ot atraaea shoe leather becomes in corporated with the mud and dust of the streets of the metropolis. Tak ing into consideration the fact that less walking about, is done in London on Sunday than on week-days, we may conclude that a ton of shoe leather is worn away daily. If the abraded particles which go to make up this airount could be restored to their original condition, they would form a leather strap an Inch wide and ten miles long. In the course of a year the material would suffice for an inch-wide strap long enough to reach from London to New York, for leather in the form of boot nolea the public pays half a crown a pound, so the amount daily lost in London is worth 280, or more than 100,000 year.

Camphor balls, too, are useful for rubbing over the bands lifter washing. These are made by melting 3 drachms of sper maceti anu 4 tiracums ol white wax in 1 oz. of almoud oil, then stir in 3 drachms of powdered camphor. An other good pluu is to preii'ire a iair of gloves by turning tbein insido out and brushing them over with some sort of emollient, then turning them again, and wear at night. These are called qants co&mrtiqiie. 1 oz. white wax, i2 ozs. oil of sweet almonds, 2 drachms glycerine, and 1 oz. spermaceti is an excellent formula for the above as well as for the face occassonnlly, bnt if there is indication of superfluous hairs nothing of a greasy nature shonl.l be nsed. A good cold cream will be fonnd more satisfactory. When powder is nsed it should be put on tbe face with a piece of wash leather or silk handkerchief, for noth ing looks so bad' as powder showing, and then carefully dusted oI with a bit of fiuest baby-flannel. Hard water is very injurious, there fore it is well to soften it by adding a few drops of Ammonia, or a pinch or two of powdered-borax. The former in a bath is very refreshing, and sometimes cures headaches. It is also delightful to wash tbe head in water to which a small qnantity has been added and an egg beaten up. mat reminds me of the hair, which at this time of year frequently falls. For most hair a lotion is necessary, and the qninine tonic I so often adviseom not be beaten. It is made by mixing 10 grains sulphate of auiuine. 2 drtchms tincture of csntharides, and 4 ozs. bay rum. Apply to the roots of the hair with a small sponpe two or three times a week, and brush after. Pure vaseline is a cood thinir for the hair, if of a dry nature especially, and while strengthening and increasing the growtu ii uarsens it slightly. Superfluous hairs are a great tronblo to many of my readers, and they seem to le nnder the impression that a de pilatory will remove them so thfct they never grow again. This is si -n ply im possible, for you would have to remove the outer skin to get at the root with out the aid of electricity; that eradi cates them effectually, but it i an ex pensive process as only about fiftv are removed at a time. Failing that, a harmless depilatory nsed as soon as the hairs appear will in time cause the roots to become so weak that they will cease to show. Curling irons should never rm nsn.l as they ruin the hair; but "Easy Cnrl I era," and a net to match yonr hair, eep the curls in order during the roughest of weather. The hair is now brushed off the sides of the faoe, bat frit ges are too becoming to be dis carded entirely ; nor are they likely to b , as an entirely bare forehead consid erably adds to the age. Few have a forehead free from wrinkles, even quite girls, therefore long may the fringes reign over us. . 1 nmst In press on my readers the fact that withont health it - impossible, therefore simple ailments "hould not be neglected.

I must say that it is a A SUCCESS, the dropping in my throat disappeared entirely after the first bottle. It increased my appetite, so that I now weigh eight pounds more than my cus" tomary weight.

Sinners never feel comfortable where they are not in the majority. Every Christian's walk outtht t have as many italics in it as bis talk. For which do you work the hardest In your church a revival or a festi val? NO ONI can become a fnllnwer nf Christ without also becoming a leader. Truth never builds on the sand.nn matter how much like rock it nm look. It Is as hard for God to tless a stingy man as It la for rain to fall on a desert. No Christian has any business to have any business that is not God's business. Believing the devil makes hiro, but believing' Christ saves us from him.
