THE EXECUTIVE MANSION.'
DOMESTIC ARRANGEMENTS AT
THE WHITE HOUSE.
The China and Table Cntlery—The
Cooks and the Kitchens—A Com-
plete Laundry—Table Linen,
•i* After breakfast, which always occurs
exactly at 8:30, Mrs. Harrison sees the
steward, McKim, and gives him the or
ders for the day, says Miss Grundy in the
New York World. This means that she
tells him whether there aro to be guests
and whether she wishes any changes
made in the decorations of the private
dining-room. He arranges the entire
menu for the day, does the marketing
and oversees the servants. Unless it is
the housecleaning season that is all the
time Mrs. Harrison gives to her kitchen,
but you may be sure she has just as much
interest in everything going well as a
young matron when giving her first din
ner, and she says that the only difference
between her cares now and when she was
a private citizen is that she does not need
to worry over the preparations for enter
taining.
•* She has introduced numberless changes
which give a home-like air to the private
dining-room. One of these is to have
the table for breakfast and luncheon
spread with napkins instead of with one
large cloth. It gives the table, which is
a large round affair of very, light oak, a
dainty effect. Every dish has a pretty
doily and in the centre there is always a
bowl of flowers.
I wonder if this country has any idea
where its china is kept. There isn't a
gentleman's house in the land that has
not better accommodations. There it is
—all the elegant ware which the former
mistress of the White House gathered
with so much pride and in the face of
so many growls from the Congressional
Appropriation Committees which sup
plied the money—tucked, crammed and
jammed into an unfinished closet which
would hardly kennel two mastiffs. No
wonder that so much of it is broken and
nicked that each succeeding mistress of
the White House almost sheds tears over
the ruin of the thing mo3t dear to a wo
man's heart, rare china. Until President
Arthur's day there was not even this
closet, all the valuable china being stored
in the basement; but he had this closet
cut from the little hallway by tho ele
vator. There are two rows of shelves
about three feet deep, and there the
three sets which belong to the service
are kept, one-third of them being on the
floor. Mrs. Harrison says that of the
1000 pieces, made at so great an expense
in tho Hayes Administration, there are
not more than four hundred left. Wo
men all over the land know how it is
not to have enough silver knives and
forks togo round, and they have all felt
the anguish of seeing tho most distin
guished guest get the plated one by mis
take. But who would dream that the
Whito House would not have enough
knives and forks togo around, and yet
it is true. Every time fifty people set
down to a state dinner there two of them
take their bouillon from plated spoons,
their terrapin from plated forks and cut
the fillet of beef with plated knives.
It is a horrible thought, but there are
only four dozen genuine silver knives,
forks and spoons in the butler's pantry,
and by the most skilful ingenuity they
cannot be made to do duty for fifty people.
There is one set of knives and forks in
the sideboard which has a history, for it
cost a President his re-election. These
are the gold knives and forks which Van
Buren added,and when the people learned
that the public moneys were being taken
to put gold spoons in Presidents' mouths
they promptly defeated him. Now, the
truth of the matter is that they are not
gold at all, and the people were hasty in
their judgment. They are solid silver
washed with gold, and it was only a few
years ago—in President Arthur's day—
that they began to wear off, and disclose
the hoax. He had them rewashed, and
they are still used on state occasions.
They are small, fine-bladed and much
more delicate than those commonly in use
in this day. Many of the larger pieces
of silver date back to Madison's day, al
though no memoranda have been kept,
and it is hard to tell when things were
purchased.
The busiest place in the whole Execu
tive Mansion is in the basement, over
which Dolly Johnson, tho colored cook,
presides. Dolly is a tall, fine-looking
woman, light of color and probably not
much over thirty. President Harrison
secured her a short time ago from Ken
tucky, and, from all accounts, Dolly
knows how to suit a Presidential appetite
much better than the former cook, Mme.
Pclouard, whose fanciful French cooking
was not at all to the plain American
taste. Mary Robinson makes the pies,
bakes the bread and fries the crullers,
and is the assistant of Mistress Dolly
Johnson, who confines her ambitions to
brewing soups and basting meats. The
two can get up a dinner that would put
Phillipini, Nicolini and all tho other
SIO,OOO chefs to the test. Dclmonico
has no more juicy meats than Dolly draws
from her oven, and Vandcrbilt's own
chef cannot put up a better pastry than
Mary. They both wear tidy dresses of
Dutch-blue calico and big white aprons
that cover them from head to foot, but
neither of them wear caps, as the last
suggestion of livery is unallowable at the
White House.
There are two kitchens in which Dolly
Johnson can carry out her dream of
cookery, one undor the private dining
room and of the same size and the other
under the serving-room and butler's pan
try. The first is used when a state din
ner is under way, and in the second the
preparations for each day are made. The
kitchens are as neat as a pair of pins, but
they haven't the appointments of the
kitchens that are now added to five thou
sand dollar houses, and one cannot help
wishing that the people who do so adore
the quaint, historic White House would
get a peep into these dark, illy furnished
rooms. The upper floors of the quaint,
historic White House are bad enough,
but the baibment would be condemned
even a modern building inspector.
Acres* the ball from the kitchen is the
steward's room, a large apartment under
the state dining-room. It is tastefully
furnished with carpet and chairs sent
from the upper rooms, and contains a
large desk, vhere Mr. McKim enters the
marketing in books as large as it takes to
enter the deposits at the Treasury. He
comes in about 11 from the Centre Mar
ket, where everything in the way of
meats and vegetables are bought for the
White House, enters these purchases and
each month draws up a summary of the
month's expendituies, which I have
heard are of a size to make an ordinary
man whistle "Razzle Dazzle," with all
the mournful intonations of that pathetic
song. The walls of the steward's room
are lined with closets which can be put
under lock and key, for he has charge of
every valuable in the White House and
lias to give a pretty sum as bail for their
safekeeping. Beyond the steward's
room are the sleeping rooms and on the
opposite side the big furnace room,
while at the extreme end of the hall is a
billiard room where a President and his
opponent frequently chalk the cue.
But the laundry—that is worth seeing,
for a cleaner room cannot be imagined.
It is large and light and oil one corner is
a little carpeted ironing room. There is
an old-fashioned New England fireplace
there which was built in the wall as far
back as the time when Abigail Adams
came down from Boston and wrote back
such gruesome accounts of the "barn
like" East Koom, which she could put to
no better use than to dry her clothes.
This fireplace is still used for heating the
boiler for the Monday's wash, which oc
curs as regularly here as in the family of
any orderly citizen. It is formed of hard
baked piaster and looks as though it
would easily stand another century. A
large laundry stove stands in the middle
of the room covered by two terraces of
"Hats" which the three white women—
Johanna, Mary and Miss Grass keep
changing the live-long day. They are
tidy, pleasant-faced women, and can out
do Ah Sing in the polishing business.
There are thirteen regular house servants,
although eight or nine more are em
ployed about the grounds and conserva
tories.
There is still another room where one
can get an idea of Mrs. Harrison's house
keeping. It is the lineu closet on the
second floor. The linen was formerly
kept in the damp closets in the steward's
room, but Mrs. Harrison noticed one day
that there could bo a closet amply largo
made behind the elevator and she had
the space walled in, shelves built, and
now the White House has a matchless
linen closet. It is under the care of
Josephine, Mrs. Harrison's maid, and a
whiil of it is like a breath from a meadow
in May, for it is kept so clean and sweet.
Everything is initialled with "U. 8." in
white linen, although one set of napkins
has the initials in white, with a faint line
of red. The napkins are all a yard
square and of the finest damask. Mrs.
Harrison has added to the stock since
she has been in the White House, and
there is one set of dinner linen that was
used at the first state dinner that is as
fine and soft as silk.
Japan's Staple Crop.
Rice is the staple crop of Japanese
farmers, large and small, and consists of
two varieties. The most popular is
similar to that produced in our Southern
States. The plants are started- in hot
beds, and wheu the seedlings are five to
six inches high, along in May, they are
transplanted into fields which have been
flooded by irrigation or otherwise most
of the time since the harvesting of the
previous crop in October and November.
After the plowing, which is done in the
primitive style characteristic of that re
gion, the plants are putin tufts of
several plants about six inches apart, and
the natives wade about iu the water and
mud in setting them out. The fields are
hoed every two weeks. The grain is cut
with a sickle, made iuto bundles and
left to dry in the fields. When dried,
the rice is threshed by flails, separated
from the chaff, and the hulls removed by
pounding in a mortar. With the intro
duction of new machinery and more
modern processes, it is expected that
rice culture in Japan will become a lead
ing industry, and a source of consider
able wealth to the nation, iustead of be
ing, as now, raised almost wholly for
home consumption.— American Agricui
turut.
A Live Frog in a Rock.
Many well authenticated stories of the
finding of live toads aad frogs in solid
rock are on record, and that such things
are possible was demonstrated here on
Thursday afternoon, when a workman
engaged in Varley & Everill's lime rock
quarry, north of the city, broke opon a
large piece of rock, which had been
blasted out, and a frog hopped out of a
pocket in the centre of the stone. Of
course, the occurrence created a tre
mendous sensation among the workmen,
and operations at the quarry were for
the time suspended, and the movements
of the frog were watched with great in
terest. The animal was somewhat smaller
than the ordinary frog and was perfectly
white. Its eyes were unusually large and
very brilliant, but the frog was apparent
ly blind. Where the mouth should have
been there was only a line, and on the
feet there was a dark, horny substance.
Sir. Everill at once took charge ot the
curiosity and put it in a tin can, but tho
frog died yesterday morning. He brought
it downtown and it was examined with
interest by a large number of people, and
it was afterward presented to the mu
seum, where it will be preserved in al
cohol.—Salt Lalte Herald.
An Old Confederate Shoe.
The editor of the Greensboro (Ga.)
Herald-Journal has an old Confederate
shoe, manufactured for the Government
in 1862, just before the war ended. The
sole is fully three-quarters of on inch
thick and is made of poplar wood, evi
dently shaped with a hatchet or drawing
knife. The upper is attached to the sole
with a strip of rawhide, running entirely
around the shoe, the leather being held
to the sole with large carpet tacks. The
| upper is of rough cowhide, dressed only
1 on the inside.— Atlanta Constitution.

he is handling poisons.
An English naval officer has invented
a pneumatic line-throwing gun, very
light and portable, which fires a hollow
shell bearing the cord to a wrecked ves

land.
An enterprising Chinaman in Mnneap
olis is arranging for an electric ironcr in
his laundry, and proposes before another

It is claimed that wall paper can bo
made in such a way that the passage of
low tension electric currents will heat it
moderately warm to the touch and dif

A new red glass has been recently pro
duced in Germany. Besides its use for
for the manufacture of bottles, goblets
and vases of various kinds, it is applica

opticians' laboratories.
An accepted authoi ity says the spring
onion is a great sleep inducer, and about
equal to quinine for malaria. It is kept
out of its most useful province by the
prejudice against tho odor. This may be
overcome by hypnotism, and made a
nasal delight.
A florist in London has adopted the
pretty plan of hanging trails of moss over
and around the electric lights in his win
dow. The green and yellow tints of tho
delicate leaves form a graceful and dainty
veil for the light which glimmers through
them without being diminished.
Tho London ljmcet recommends a
beverage ijiade from the new kolanut as
a substitute for tea and coffee. It con
tains very little tannin, not much more
caffeine, and its power of rehabilitating
after fatigue and allaying the pangs of
hunger are such that it might be used by
an army on the march iu place of regular
rations.
"Th<* . .©graphing ot caves or otner
chambers underground, where a portable
camera can be easily installed, offers no
particular difficulty, and it is a compara
tively simple matter to obtain curious
and interesting views under such circum
stances, illuminating the bowels of the
earth by burning magnesium tape, which
gives a brilliant light by means of which
surrounding objects can be photographed.
Gradual Extermination of Birds.
It is not necessary to tell any one who
has any observation of the matter that
the past six or eight years has witnessed
so complete a destruction of bird life in
this section as to amount almost to exter
mination. Let any one who remembers
how our fields and forests ten or fifteen
years ago teemed with the American and
French mocking birds, thrushes, wrens,
jay and catbirds, woodpeckers, yellow
hammers, sparrows and the several game
birds, take note of how few may be seen
nowadays in the longest ride he may take
along our roads, or longest stroll amid
our woods. One cannot fail to see that
there are no birds compared to the num
ber that existed a dozen years ago. Truly,
the roads are lifeless, and the woods
are silent so far as the absence of birds
can make it so. A few years ago the
mania for making egg collections pre
vailed among the boys from one end of the
country to the other; simultaneously with
this, fashion decreed that the thing to
do was to decorate the ladies' hats; and
between the two, what is the result?—

A Cure for Squinting.
A cure for squinting, -which is not so
unsightly as the method at present gen
erally adopted—black goggles with a
hole in the centre—is highly recom
mended. Let the person affiictcd take
any pair of spectacles that suit his sight,
or even plain glass, and in the centre of
one lens let him gum a small blue or black
■wafer (or spot of black photo, varnish or
Brunswick black) about the size of a ten
cent piece. The result is that the double
image vanishes, and the eye, without) fa
tigue or heat, is forced to look straight,
and with time and patience is cured.—

Mighty Thin Leaves of Gold.
The gold beaters of Berlin at the
Paris Exposition showed gold leaves so
thin that it would require 282,000 to
produce the thickness of u single inch,
yet each leaf was so perfect and free
from holes as to be impenetrable by the
strongest electric light. If these leaves
were bound in book form it would take
15,000 to fill the space of ten common
book leaves.— JeieeUrt 1 Review.
Twenty Million Stars In View.
Astronomers say that the fabulous
number of 20,000,000 stars, all aglow,
can be seen with a powerful microscope.
When we consider that the nearest of
these is 200,000 times as far from us as
the sun, and that it would take from
three and a half to twenty-one years for
the light which reaches us to cease if
they were extinguished, we cannot
grasp and hold the vast conception in
our minds. Yet it is supposed that each
of these is a central sun, with its own
colony of planets circling round it,
which in size are vastly superior to those
of our own solar system, and are travel
ing through space with such speed that it
is impossible for us to comprehend it.
The star Sirius is said to be moving
fifty-four miles a second, or 194,400
miles per hour, a flaming mass, leading
its brood of planets through illimitable
space.— New York Telegram.
