THE WHITE HOUSE QUEENS. WOHE5 WHO HAVE KEIONES I IT THB XXECUTIVB MASSIOW. Tbelr I laborious lntli Tlta Jrwth itnd lcTolopnifii f KnclrU In Unrnre in th ivrniiirnt. The duties of the mistress of the White House are quite laborious, and it It probable that socioty feels as anxious to know who it shall be nstho individual herself to assume those duties, writes a Washington correspondent. The long hours of reception in which she must atand and shake by the hand the rows of nameless and unknown visitors; again, those occasions on which she must sit at state dinners and say pleasant nothings; the weary worn appeals for oflico which are made not alone to the President, but to her by privileged friends as well ; the annoyances which her public station in volves, and the self-asserted privileges of the press, all tend to make the position an uncomfortable one. Of course there are many pleasant fea tures and many which gratify person ally, and it is hardly po.ssiblo that any who know the details of its duties and pleasures would reject it or seek to do so if it were offered. Yet there have been those among Presidents' wives who re gretted that their duties took them within the Whito House. Arthur is the fourth President who has entered the AVhite House a widower. His sister, Mrs. JIcElroy, has been the acknowledged mistress of the White House during his term, and is quite accom plished in a social way. Very retiring in her ways, and without ambition for pub lie recognition, however, she has been seen little by Washington generally and has only been known personally to a cir cle extremely limited. The women of the "White House, tracing back to the be ginning, form an interesting chapter or series of chapters in the history of, cot alone ! Washington society, but of the . nation. Under Garfield's administration the so cial features had scarcely developed. Under Hayes the White House was open to all society, thousands attending the receptions, and lunch-tables were spread at the evening entertainments for many hundreds. Under General Grant the Whito House wag gay, but there was not that democrat ic freedom which marked the regime of Mrs. Grant's successor as mistress of the White House. Another term back, Mrs. Johnson, wife of Andrew Johnson, was mistress of the White House. She was an invalid, and I personally entertained little, receiving her visitors in her chair. Her daughter, Martha Patterson, wife of Senator Pat terson, entertained in her stead, renovat- j ing the war-stained, tattered habiliments j of the mansion with rare taste upon the small allowance of $30,000 which Con gress made for that purpose. Mrs. Lincoln, who preceded, was mis tress of the White House in a time of great turbulence and national tribulation, and there is small wonder that the recol lections of her time there are not agree able ones to those who were there during that period. An ambitious woman, with little experience outside of a country town when called there, deprived of the counsel of her husband by the constant attention to public affairs which his du ties required, stricken with grief during the years of her stay by the loss of her favorite son, Willie, the painful expe riences of her time in the White House culminated with the assassin's shot, which was heard around the world. Preceding Mrs. Lincoln, Harriet Lane, the adopted daughter of James Buchanan, who was the only bachelor President, gave to Washington society one of the most brilliant social administrations it has ever had. Mrs. Pierce, her predecessor, was a sensitive, shrinking women, who had seen her son killed by a railroad acci dent but a short time before her arrival at the White House, and who, during her stay there, attended to the social duties only because they were duties. The next in order, tracing back, is Mrs. Fillmore, who was more strongly marked as a literary woman than any since Abigail Adams. It was her taste for books which established the library now in the White House, her husband having, through her solicitation, asked of Congress and obtained an appropria tion of $30,000 for a White House li brary. No sadder woman ever reigned mistress of the White House than the wife of Presi dent Taylor. She had accompanied her husband in all his war experience, car ing for him in camp and counseling with him upon the field. During the presidential contest she prayed daily for Clay's election. "It is a plot," she said, "to deprive me of the comforts of a borne, which I had expected to enjoy now that the war is ended." She came to the White House only as a matter of duty, her daughter, Betty Bliss, being pushed to the front to bear the burden as mistress of the establishment. When her husband died within the walls of the White House she was heart-broken, and during the two remaining years of her life never mentioned the White House unless necessity compelled. Mrs. Polk, who preceded Mrs. Taylor, still lives in the city of Nashville. She is the only woman who has ever held the position of private secretary to the Presi dent, she having filled that position through choice during her husband's term. She was a woman of great ability, quite as familiar with the affairs of State as har husband, and even more bo as to details. ''Sarah knows where it is," was President Polk's customary remark when any document or book wanted. She did not ever neglect her social duties, and was spoken of by an English lady as not being surpassed in beauty, style or dignity by any of three queens whom she had seen. Under Tyler the White House had two mistresses. His first wife died there during the early part of his administra tion, and her successor, Miss Garner, of New York, afterward became known as the bride of the White House, being married to President Tyler in the presi dential mansion. Mrs. Harrison never occupied the White House as its mistress, her health having prevented her from coming here with her husband, whose death followed a month later, bafore her arrival. Van Buren was a widower when he entered the White House ; his daughter was its mistress. Jackson wns also a widower when he 1 entered the White House, having become ! so but a few months previous, and under ( the most painful circumstances. His wife, who was a beautiful, centlo and trustful woman, married in her early years injudiciously and had been di vorced, afterward marrying Jackson. During his campaign the tongues of par tisan malice did not spare even Mrs. Jackson, but her husband had spared her, keeping from her the newspapers which contained these attacks. After his election, however, sitting in her room in a hotel at Nashville, whither she had pone to prepare for her journey to Wash ington, she overheard in an adjoining room the tongues of gossipers detailing the slanders which the press had pub lishod regarding herself. The agitation brought upon her by this caused an at tack of heart disease, and in a few hours sho was a corpse. Mrs. John (.jumpy Adams, the wife of Jackson's predecessor, gave to Washing ton a more brilliant social reign than it had ever known, provoking Mr. John Agg, the first short-hand reporter ever in Washington, to the production of his famous poem, a couplet of which runs thus: Belles and matrons, maids and madams, All are gone to Mrs. Adams'. Her reign was quite in contrast with that of her predecessor, Mrs. Monroe, who was the daughter of a British olli cer, and little given to social enjoyments. Her predecessor, Mrs. Madison, is spo ken of as the only woman of social genius ever occupying the White House. Her reign there was, of course, brilliant. Jefferson, who preceded Madison, was a widower when ne entered the Whito House. He was not a believer in social life as it then existed, and gave few levees or entertainments. His daughter presided at those few which he did give, and Mrs. Madisson, the wife of his secre tary of State, occupied the place of chief lady at the White House at the state dinners. Abigail Adams, wife of President Adams, who preceded Jefferson, was the first mistress of the White House. She dried her clothes in the great east room on wash day, but was, for all that, a remarkable woman. rostolllce Figures. The forthcoming annual report of the postmaster general will, says a Washing ton letter, show an increase of 12,000, 000 in the number of postage stamps sold during the past year over the sales of the preceding year. This will bring the total number of postage stamps sold during the year up to about 1,215,000, 000, or an average of twenty-four each for the population of the country during the vcar. There were, in addition to "this, about 220,000,000 stamped envelopes, bringing the total up to nearly 1.500,000,000. Add ing 375,000,000 postal cards, which will be shown to be about the number used during the year, will bring the total mail communications of the year up to 1,800,000,000 in. round numbers, or an average of about thirty five letters or postals each during the year for the whole nation. Probably the estimate of thirty-five ii too high, for it is based upon the figure of the last census, which make the popu lation 50,000,000, to which should now be added 6,000,000 or 8,000,000, so that the average in the number of letter, would probably dro" to thirty-three, or something in that i. .uity. The annual statement of the Dead Letter Branch will contain the usual in teresting facts regarding the work of absent-minded people and bad writers of the country. The number of these amount to four and a half millions. Of these about twelve thousand were mailed without any address and nearly two hun dred thousand without stamps. Half a million are from other countries whose owners cannot be found. Foreign dead letters are returned to the countries from which they come. Those originating in our country, and whose owners are not found, are opened. At the postoflice is a museum made up of the articles found in these letters, and it is a curious one. It contains every thing from money down to a pair of dirty socks. The money amounts to nearly $40,000 for the year, while the drafts, checks, notes, etc., amount to $1,500, 000. The number of these dead letters containing photographs runs up to thirty five or forty thousand a year, and those containing articles of value of various sorts amount to nearly 800,000 yearly. A Natural Soap Mine. On Smith's Creek, in Elko county, Nev., there is a most remarkable stratum of steatite resting horizontally in a steep bluff of volcanic matter which flanks the eastern side of Smith's Creek Valley. The stratum of steatite is from three to ten feet in diameter. It is easily worked and is a veritable soap mino. In fact, the farmers, cattle men and sheep herders in that region all use the natural article for washing purposes. Chemi cally considered, this peculiar clay is a hydrated silicate of alumina, magnesia, potash and lime. AVheu the steatite is tirst dug from the stratum it looks pre cisely like immense masses of candle soap, the mottling element being a small percentage of iron oxide. Professor Stewart has received a sample of this natural soap prepared by a firm in Elko who have undertaken to introduce it into the market. It is similar in appearance to the Castile soap sold in large bars. Nothing is added to the mineral but a trifle more alkali and some scenting ex tracts. Its detersive qualities are as powerful as those of any manufactured soap. The Two Nymphs. Two nymphs named Luck and Ill-luck, who lived in a wood, wished to knov which of them was more beautiful than the other. They went to a fox in the wood and asked him for his opinion. He turned to them and said: ''I can give no opinion unless you walk to and fro for a while. So they did. Quoth the fox to Luck, "Madam, you are indeed charm ing when you come in." Quoth he to Ill-luck, "'Madam, your gracefulness is simply inimitable when you go out." War is, fortunately for humanity, a very expensive matter. A real, live. Whitehead torpedo costs in England about $1,800 and torpedo practice at $1,800 a shot is something almost too costly for even long-puised nations lilts England, MONEY LOST ON VESSELS. TUB OWKER IS XV X.TJCX WHOtB SHIP rOUSDBRS. A Neir York Ship-owner Who Take n Uloomv VlfW of ih Iliielneaa) l'rotil unit i;irnr. A distinguishing characteristic of South strett is the appearance of (ho signs over tho oflices of the ship brokers and merchants. New York signs are in themselves a curious study, ranging as they do from an expensive panorama in a Broadway window to a thrce-and-a-quarter hash placard in a cheap restaur ant, each conveying an impress of artis tic finish in its execution and of comfort in its promiso for the person for whom it is intended. The sign of the ship merchant is neither artistic nor expensive. It is simply old, so very old in some cases, that the paint has been worn off by the wind and B'orm, leaving only a faint outline of the letters in black or gold on a coffee-brown background, which might once have been either whito or black, for all a pass ing inspection will tell. Tho old signs which once read "Howland & Aspin wall," and "Grinnell, Minturn & Co., have been wholly obliterated. Like wine, or like a choice meerschaum pipe, the old signs gain value with increased age. To remove them would give pain to scores of gray-haired shipmasters, who first saw them as cabin boys, fresh from some coast or inland village. In these shipping ollices the visitor will usually find in the room marked "private" a genial old gentleman who can name the products of every country on the globe, can tell the cost, the de mand for, and the value of each, and the number of ships engaged in the tratlic. With this information, the visi tor is pretty sure to be told of the prof its once made by shipowners, and that never, since ships began to sail tho sea, have profits been so small as now. "Ships must pay some profit to ship owners, or else the shipyards would be idlo," suggested a young man to one of the pleasant old brokers. "Some ships pay, of course, but at best the profits are not large." "What freight will a good East India ship receive now?" "The chief East India cargo is kero sene oil ten -gallon cases, which weigh eighty-four pounds each. A large ship will carry, say 75,000 cases. The largest cargo on record was carried by the iron ship Lord Wolseley. She took 101,000 cases out. The great majority of ships carry about half as much as that. We sent out a bark with 40,000 cases not long ago. She got 2CJ- cents, or $10,000 gross. If she is lucky she will get jute or sugar back at say $7. She will bring 1,500 tons or $10,500 gross, and she will cam it in a year. "A ship like that costs $50,000, and 21,000 is a small gross income. Out of this sum of $21,000 she has sundry ex penses which will astonish yon, perhaps. For a crew, she carries a captain, two mates, a cook, and fourteen men. The captain gots $30 a month and five per cent, of the gross freight money, or $1,415 for the year. The tirst mate will get $000, Ihe second mate $420, the cook, $480, and the fourteen men will get $3,360; or a total of $0,275 for wages. To feed them will cost $9 a day, or $3,285 for the year. It pays to feed them well, but it could be done for less, of course. Then out of the freight money comes It cents a case for stowing the oil, and thirty-five cents a ton for discharging the return cargo a total of $1,225. The brok erage on the cargo out is five per cent, and back seven per cent, or $1,205. Port Dharges at Shanghai are three cents a case, or $1,200. Pilot fees will amount to $200. Then we have insurance at five percent., $2,500: annual deterioration, five per cent., $2,500; tonnage tax at ihirty cents a ton, $300; and interest on investment at four per cent, $2,000." "Is that all?" "There are a few small incidentals. Oh, I forgot the ship chandler's bill. It was $2,000. That's all that's worth counting." The young man had jotted down the urns. They aggregated for the vear $23,550. "That's just about it," said the broker with a faint smile. "You cannot make a more favorable showing, because you have estimated the insurance at a low rate, and the return cargo is always a matter of somo doubt. Beside, a year is a good round trip. You see, the owner is $2,500 or $2,600 out of pocket." "Why does he build new ships, then?" "Give it up." "Do all these ships sail at a loss?" "That one was only of 1,000 tons register. Take a ship registering 2,200 tons, and sho will carry 75.000 cases of oil out, and will bring back 3,000 tons of cargo. Her freight will amount to about $40,000, while her expenses over those of the bark of 1,000 tons will be about $15,000, leaving a clear profit of $4,000 on an investment of $110,000, provided she has ordinary good luck. The best luck that could happen to the owners of the bark would be wreck when (he was fully insured." The Western Idea of a Live Town. "Well, Dodge City may have been a rough place. I reckon it was. But it nevercamo up to Newton. Why, New ton had as many as half a dozen first class murders in one night. The man that didn't curry a pistol was of no ac count in those days. I recollect once sleeping in a room with thirteen beds, two men to each bed, and a pistol under a vest or a pair of pants placed beneath the pillow every time. That was when the cattle drove to Newton. Most every building in the town was full of bullet holes. My father bought a dance-house building and moved it down to Hutch inson for other purposes, and people used to walk round it and look at it and ad mire the round holes in the window panes. There wasn't a whole light in the house. Then when Newton ceased to be a great cattle-shipping point the rough business came along to Dodge City. It missed Hutchinson for the reason that it was a temperance town. But there's saloons enough in Dodge City. Why, the mayor is a saloon keeper, his bar-tender is city clerk, the two marshals are ex -dance-house men, and the school directors are some of them in about the same fix." t. Lout (JLobe-Democrat.

Beports to tho Paris Academy of Science on the lightning-strokes in France during 1883 show that such accidents were largely confined to tho months of June and July, the number reported for July Deing 14J. resulting in thirteen deaths. Most of the persons struck oc cupied positions near a tree, a chimney or a houso on an elevated site with trees around it: but there were cases of doath in open fields and on a roadway. Soveral accidents from lightning happened to persons carrying umbrellas. The manufacture of artificial human milk is growing into quite an industry in England. It is mado from pure cow's milk, which is first boiled to destroy all germs, then treated with a digestive fer ment called pancreatine, by which arti ficial digostion is produced, and is finally brought to the constitution as human milk by the use of diluto acids for pre cipitating the excess of albumen. Sick children in hospitals have been fed on this product, and gained most rapidly in health and weight. In the Savings Bank. "Gimme a book, Mister ?" The affable and polite cashier of the Dime Savings Bank handed out a book, after entering the naruo of the possessor and one dime upon the pages. The book numbered up into the thousands. "Say, Mister, what's th' intust on a dime fur wun year ?" "Four mills," answered Mr. Woolfon den. "Gosh! Say, Mister, be they saw mills ?"
