PRESIDENT'S HOUSES HOW ROOSEVELT'S PETS ARE HOUSED IN WASHINGTON.

Not since Arthur's time have we had In a chief executive such a lover of horses as is President Roosevelt, and consequently he is giving a great deal of attention to the White House sta bles. They are being looked after as never before, and tlie stablemen are earning every dollar of their salary these days. Not only is the president extremely fond of horses, but he is also one of the best judges of them in this country. To please his critical eye an animal must he entirely free from the slightest ailment or blemish. In looking around for a team awhile ago he had three beautiful horses sent from New York for his inspection. They were superb beasts to all appear ances, and the employees in tho White House stables were enthusiastic in their praise. It took tlie president, however, less than ten minutes to sur mise that something was wrong, and a veterinary who was called in soon con firmed his suspicions. It was a great disappointment to the president, as finer animals are seldom seen, but he has succeeded in securing two fine specimens of horseflesh. They are two handsome bays standing sixteen hands high, weighing 2,350 pounds and are five years old. The White House stables consist of two buildings, a two story red brick structure erected ill 1871 and a low, rambling, yellow framed building which was the historic stable that housed the presidents' horses previous to that date. They are situated at the corner of Seventeenth and E street, in a corner of the park south of and ad joining the White House grounds. Re cently the stables have been enlarged under the direct supervision of Colonel Theodore Ringliam, superintendent of public buildings and grounds. The stable attendants are nearly all white men now, but up to four years ago were nearly all negroes, and the few colored hands now employed are hired to uo the work of cleaning the f' ' \ ■ * I* i p -* jk; *5 ■ •'' ; "' ,j| I •• i ..<*> ... ENTRANCE TO WHITE HOCSE STABLES, stables and keeping the adjacent grounds in order. The foreman of the president's stable is Arthur Hurley, an ex-jockey and a man thoroughly versed in horse lore. He Is a short, thick set man of thirty-eight years and a native of the District. Hurley was in the service of President Hayes when a boy and used to assist in exercising the horses. Four years ago he was pro moted to foreman and has worked hard to make the antiquated building look semimodern and attractive. He has tlireu white assistants, who relieve each other in driving the president and in superintending the cleaning of the vehicles and the care of the horses. Leading to the presidential stables on the Seventeenth street side is a large court, and on both sides are car riage houses, where vehicles used by the executive department and the pri vate conveyances of the president nre kept. Although roomy, the stalls for the presidents horses are of the sim plest character. The partitions and tioors are of rough pine planking. Di rectly over each stall is a small frame bearing the animal's name. Among the horses is a pretty little bay mare belonging to Mrs. .Roosevelt. It is called Lady Dancer and was raised by the president's wife from foal. Lady Dancer receives at least one visit from Mrs. Roosevelt a day, and the children bring it many a lump of sugar from the White House table. Provender for the horses furnished for the use of the executive depart ment is provided by the government, and eleven attendants are paid from the same appropriation,which amounts to about SIO,OOO. Above the rear sta bles are living rooms for the foreman and his assistants. All repairs to car riages and all horseshoeing are done by contract, and no mechanical work Is performed at the stables. One of the most elaborate vehicles •een on the streets in Washington for many years is the new carriage of President Roosevelt. It is a two seat ed, open, light driving wagon, painted u dark blue and upholstered in light yellow leather. The body of the wag on is of light yellow basket work, with a faint stripe of red, and on the panels of each side is the monogram "T. R." The coachman and footman on this carriage wear the handsomest livery displayed by any president since the days of Arthur. They wear long, dark blue coats, and on their tall hats are two cockades of black burs, with a rosette of red, white and blue silk. PLAIN TALK. Straight Talk and to the Point. The Vir tues of Dr. A. W. Obase s Nerve Pills Told in a few Words by a Danville Citizen who Knows, Mrs. Jacob .Mills of Cor. Front & Church streets, Danville, Pa., says:— "Last fall I was feeling very poorly and nervous. I had frequent sp» lis of nerv ous headache and a good deal of trouble with my stomach. Seeing Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills recommended. I got a box at Gosh's Drug Store and used them with good results. I rested so mnch better and felt stronger and brighter. They certainly did me good and I can highly recommend them." Dr. A. W.

Good cats, milk fed, around the barns ' are the best rat exterminators we have up to date. Another improvement is the install ment of a telephone in the country schoolhouse connecting the children with their country homes. The best hay when made and the most difficult to make is clover. When it gets to be worth $8 to $lO per ton, we will make It in the right way—in the cock. A spring chicken weighing two pounds sold in July will bring as much money as the same bird weighing four pounds sold in December. Does it pay to keep it? A good bathroom should have a place on every new farm home built, even if not more than $1,200 is spent on such a home. It is not in any sense a lux ury, but an absolute necessity. While a possible crop of onions is 800 bushels per acre under exceptional conditons, an average crop may be placed at 300 bushels, or about twice as many bushels per acre as of pota toes. The old man runs a good deal of risk with either a young, spirited horse to pull his buggy or a young and spirited wife to keep house for him. lie is liable to have a runaway in either case. A scolding wife In the home is not a pleasing thing, but if a man makes her gather her own fuel, won't furnish her soft water and takes the egg money to buy his tobacco she has a right to scold all she wants to. Men who have tried the White Hol land turkeys tell us that while they will stay at home and bring more in the market than the bronze birds they are too tender and He down and die without any provocation at all. We are pleased to note recently the fact that in an audience of over 100 ladies, all well and fashionably dress ed, not one, so far as we could seo, had a bird on her hat. We hope that the bird on the bonnet craze is about over. Skunk farms are a failure, the two or three which were started in this country having been abandoned for the rather curious reason that when these animals are raised in captivity the quality of their fur so degenerates as-to become almost worthless. We incline to the opinion that it is all right that our nice girls should get married after they have taught school two or three years. Teaching wears out a woman faster than maternity. We cannot pension our wornout teach ers, and it is better for them to quit the business before they become bro ken down. It has generally been supposed that where the cornstalks were cut up and then fed to the stock no harm would come to the cattle so fed, but we have the past winter come across two cases where the stalks were so cut and fed where several head of cattle died, with ail the symptoms of the so called corn stalk disease. If you have a drove of hogs to feed this summer, plan to have an acre of rape for each thirty hogs. Plow up the old hog pasture and sow to oats one bushel, rape six pounds to the acre and turn In when the growth is six inches high, it' the hogs don't keep the field fed down, turn in the cattle once in awhile. This makes the cheapest and best summer hog feed to be had. While many men think that they cannot farm successfully unless they have at least eighty acres of iand.it is still entirely possible for a man to farm very profitably on five acres pro vided he is located within easy reach of any large town, and if he works his five acres in the right manner he will sugar off at the end of the year with a better profit than most men with eighty acre farms. IJOVT I'LANT (OUX TOO EARLY. It is well to remember that corn will do little In the way of germinating and growing when the temperature is below 05 degrees F. For latitude -11 and north April planting of corn is usually a blunder, cold weather and possible frosts being almost sure even if the plain does get out of the ground to give it a setback from which it nev er recovers. Our own experience and observation prove that corn planted not earlier than May 15 will, taking a series of years, make a better crop than that planted earlier. The keepingiof bees and the raising of fruit are just as happy a combina tion in horticulture as is pork and beans for a fo<*l ration. Peaches andiplums from South Afri ca were obtainable on the Chicago mar ket in February. The price was South African a 150—93.50 per dozen. We know of one farmer who has made a twenty-five cent straw hat do liim three summers. The hat is not handsome, but there is no mortgage on his farm. A disk lmrrow, some grass seed and a drag brought into harmonious opera tion on that weedy pasture during the mouth of April will do wonders for it next year. Try it.

This is moving the wrong way. There is but little machinery left out and exposed to the weather compared with what there used to be. It is strange, but nevertheless true, that the better off n;n have become the more prudent and economical they get. The American mule when taken to Africa to help fight the Itoers does not seem to have that regard for the Brit ish army regulations which he should, being given to stampeding and running into the Roer lines when a scrimmage is on.

We are asked to name those products * ' which may be grown upon the average i farm which are richest in protein—the 1 ' luilkmaking, flesh forming elements as | distinguished from the fat forming | products. Here they are: Clover, al | falfa, peas, beans, oats, bran and i i shorts. Early cut clover, well cured I j peas made "into hay when the pods ■ ' are well filled and before they are ' ripe, oats cut just as the grain is pass ; ing from the milk to the dough stage, are the most easily obtainable of this ' class of foods. BROI'CIIT THEM TO TIME. ! A wealthy telephone corporation, | erecting a long line across a western : state, tore down a local farmers' line ' which was in its way. When remon -1 etrated with by the farmers and asked ! to repair their line, the corporation • representatives treated the grangers : with contempt, telling them that a | company worth $1,000,000 hud no time , 1 ito fuss with farmers' Hues. Rut the j agent Immediately put the line in re- i jafr when informed that the twenty- j four farmers operating the line were worth half a million and would fight j for their rights. It O All MA K I XG I\ THE SOI TH. j We were talking with a gentleman | who lives in North Carolina lately, and j he tells us that the good roads ques tion is a very live one in that state, the county in which he lives having appro priated for this coming year's work on the highways the large sum of SOO,- 000. The work being there done is all | in the line of making macadam pike ' roads. The south realizes the need of I such work more than does the north, for what is only a short spring season | of bad roads In the west and north j west is extended in the south to cover I the entire winter season. HIGH PRICE FOR LOOKS. We came across a case lately where the mere fact of the owner of a good farm keeping his farm homestead in neat and attractive shape—nice, large dooryard, shade trees, evergreen wind break, house and barns well painted— refused $lO per acre more than the farms upon either side of him could have been bought for, they being equal ly good farms and with just as ex pensive buildings, but not nicely kept up. The work which this man did to make his place attractive had a cash value of SI,OOO had he chosen to sell. THE FL'TI HE OF GOOll FAH M LANDS Every acre of rich and fertile soil of the west will have an ultimate value of from SOO to SIOO per acre, depending upon special location and farm im provements. This applies to all land In any state where 20 bushels of wheat, 50 of oats, 12 of flax, 100 of potatoes, 40 of barley, 50 of corn and 2 tons of tim othy or clover can be produced to the acre, where blue grass drives out the native grasses and where the rainfall will average not less than ten inches during May. June, July and August. Latitude will not materially affect the truth of this statement. There are mil lions of acres of such land which may be secured at from sls to $25 per acre which will more than double in value Inside of fifteen years. THE POTATO CROP. A friend asks us to tell him how to raise a good crop of potatoes. The season has so much to do with the success or failure of this crop that the best work will often come to naught. Assuming that there would be an av erage rainfall during the period of growing the crop, we would do this: Preferably we would select a piece of new brush or timber land and, not be ing able to get this, would take a clov er sod or a timothy or blue grass sod which had been plowed last fall. This should be replowed this spring and well disked and harrowed smooth. The seed should be cut to secure from one to three eyes in each piece. We would then furrow the field with a crossing plow, making the furrows three feet npart and six Inches deep, would drop the seed sixteen inches apart, cover with the plow, drag smooth and then keep the field dragged every few days until the potatoes were well out of the ground. We would then give level cul tivation only, giving the crop one deep plowing with the shovel plow, all oth er cultivation shallow, and continue such cultivation right through the summer if a drought should prevail I in July and August. For a late pota to crop, which we are referring to, we would plant about the 2oth of May. A crop so cared for, with a favorable season, should produce 175 bushels of potatoes to the acre.

Y. disc for fruit growing—ana ne wants to know why it is that land seekers are fairly tumbling over themselves to get land in the bleak and semiarid west and northwest and paying little or 110 attention to these inviting southern op portunities. It is not an easy question to answer. Fever and ague, social con ditions, sterility of soil and the negro problem have much to do with the fact he mentions. It may be said that northern bred men have never readily j adapted themselves to southern condi tions and that all marked improve ; nients and migrations of the American ) people, such as took place in the fifties and are going on at the present time, j have usually followed the lines of lati- I tude with which they started.

It is only a memory now, for the woods are gone and the deer and the pigeons and the grouse and the squirrels all gone. All the music is hushed. The autumnal color and splen dor went with „the forest. The spring is dried up audit he woodland creek is only a legend. It is now pork, pota toes, tobacco, elections, telephones, daily papers and.'all the row ol' civilized living. snoi'l.n THE WOMEN MILK? Should the American farmer permit or require his wife and daughters to help milk the cows? is a question which has ooineto the front at two or three of the farmers' institutes which the writer has attended the past win ter. While women far more than most men are specially fitted to milk the cow" —the best dairying in the world is done by women, as in Denmark —it is still a > fact that as tilings are in this country.the average American farmer will not'require this service of his wife and daughters, and, more, if he did, there are mighty few of them who would do l it. In a case where a man had six and 110 boys we think the proposition .would bear debating at least. 111 the main, however, the aver age American woman has all the work she ought to do without milking cows.

Tart Criticism of \orlliern Com iix'iit.s on Its Pronunciation. \V«» do not believe that there is any thing in the world more provocative of southern laughter than the northern attempt to reproduce southern pronun ciation. For instance, there is an idea' in the north that the southerner never pronounces the letter "r" and that he invariably substitutes the letter "h" for it. Nothing could lie more utterly ab surd, yet the absurdity still lives. We are ourselves peaceably inclined and very far from desiring to see a renewal of grim visaged war. but we have a strong conviction that the letter "r" will yet be responsible for a civil war in this republic. A few years ago William Dean Ilow ells, writing in Literature, made the assertion that the letter "r" was extinct in this country, but he was certainly hasty in his conclusions. There is a tendency everywhere to slur the last syllables or the last letters of certain words, but this does not imply any dis respect of the letter "r." Mr. Ilowells might just as well say that the letter "g" is extinct because there are <1 great many people who say "goin' " or "lovln'" or "bein'." We should like to ask Mr. Ilowells how the people of this country pronounce the "r" in such words as country, great, literature, write, arithmetic, and so on. Certain ly they do not pronounce it as if the words were spelled counthy, gheat, iitcliatuhe, white or ahitlimetic. The "r" at the end of a word is some times Ignored in the south, but on the whole the southerner is just as true to the proper pronunciation as the north erner. The hasty northerner has an idea that the southerner pronounces the word "Mary" as if it were spelled "Mahy." Nothing could be more silly. But the northerner very frequently pronounces this very simple name as if it were written "Mayahry." The truth is that we sound the "r" and let it go, while the northerner hangs 011 to it as a dog would shake a rat. What southerner that ever lived said "filim" for "firm," or "ignohant" for "ignorant," or "grocehy" for "gro cery," or "telihoh" for "terror?" The tendency to chop civ the end of words prevails in the south, as it does in every part of the country and as it does in every people, but we must pro test vigorously against the idiotic idea that the letter "r" is obsolete In the south.—Memphis Commercial Appeal. Porcelain Violins. A well known manufacturer of mu sical instruments in Germany, Max Freyer, has introduced a process for making violins from clay. These fid dles arc of the ordinary pattern, but are cast in molds, so that each instru ment is an exact counterpart of its fellow. It is said—but it is somewhat lianl to believe—that the porcelain body acts as a better resonator than one of wood and that the tone of the instrument is therefore singularly pure and full. The same inventor is also making mandolins of china clay, and it seems that they are much appreciated in southern countries, where this in strtiment is regarded more seriously than it is in Britain. The obvious dis advantage of a musical Instrument be ing made of china clay is the brittle ness of that material, as well as its Weight, but both these drawbacks seem j to have been forgotten. For some time we have heard rumors of most excellent violins being made of alu minium, and this metal, from its ex treme lightness and other qualities, i would seem to be admirably adapted , to such a purpose.—Chambers' Journal. A curious and interesting plan has been adopted In Glasgow by certain landlords who, having improved much of their slum property, have been nat- I urally desirous to keep it in good con- | dition. This plan consists in offering prizes to tenants who behave them- | selves well and pay their rent prompt- \ ly. All tenants who I'ullill these condl- ; tions are allowed in summer to live rent free for a fortnight, so that if they take a holiday they need not pay two rents. The plan has worked well so far, and over (JO per cent of the ten ants have claimed the prize. I The Home Paper of Danville. I Of course you read •—r I j J ll THE HEOPLE'S POPULAR 1 APER.

LI HUNG CHANG'S WIVES. trite First One, Though Alive, WAS l.ookl'tl (poll 21ft The one romantic complication in the life of tiie late Machiavelll of China, LI Hung Cliang, is amusing or tragic according as one may choose to look • at it. Earl Li early in his distinguished career took a wife. During the Tal ping rebellion Ids wife had to fly to the interior for safety, where she lived for many months without communicating with her husband. The Chinese states man meanwhile, thinking his wife had perished with other victims 111 the mas sacre, enlisted the sympathies of the emperor, who ordered a magnificent funeral. The empty coffin was follow ed to the grave with all pomp and ceremony of state by Li Hting Chang and representatives of the emperor. After a period of mourning Li Hung Chang took unto himself another wife and settled down again to domestic felicity. Then the first wife appeared. She had narrowly escaped the massacre and had been living with her family. Mrs. Chang No. 1 took exception to Mrs. Chang No. 2 and wished to be reinstated as principal wife, for the law of China does not allow polygamy. Li Hung Chang was in a great stew. In despair he applied to the emperor. The emperor said Mrs. Chang No. 1 had been accorded a state funeral. Therefore, to all intents and purposes, she was dead, and he advised his min ister to ignore her, which he did. As women are treated as mere chattels In China, the first wife did not demur, but went back to her family, among whom she died.—New York World. lloh to Tighten fane Scat*.
