RANK OF THE WHITE HOUSE In Point of Archltectnro It IN In A Clan* by Ititclf. One moonlight night in June, 1902, while strolling through the grounds with Mr. Charles F. McKim, one of the members of the park commission, we seated ourselves on o%e of those mounds which tradition ascribes to John Qulncy Adams' taste in landscape architecture. That afternoon crowds of people arrayed In joyous costumes befitting the somitropics hud come from the hot city to rest under the trees and listen to the Saturday con cert of the Marine band. The inusi clans, clad in white duck, were located In a little depression, so that tin? sound of the music rolled up the slopes to the attentive audience. A year before we had observed the same effect at- Versailles, and both the similarities and the differences of the two pictures were being discussed as we sat in the quiet night behind the locked gaves where not n sound from the city streets broke the grateful noise of water splushlng in the fountains. On the high portico the president sat ainid a group of dinner guests, and the lights of their cigars were "echoed" by the drowsy fireflies flitting about the grounds, only the brilliantly lighted windows of the secii?tarj' office even suggesting the workaday world. The moonlight, shining full on the White House, revealed the harmonious lines of its graceful shape. "Tell me," I asked the architect, "among the groat houses that have been built during ri?cent years in the general style of the White House many of them larger and much more costly—is there any that in point of architecture surpasses it?" "No; there is not one in the same class with it," he replied deliberately, a judgment confirmed luter under the noonday sun.—Century. Mlniiiflr at Great Deptlm. In no other district in the world are active mining operations carried on at such a depth as In the Lake Superior copper region. The No. 5 shaft of the TnmarncK mine is the deepest,in the world, having attained a vertical depth of 4,940 feet, nearly a mile. Not far behind it is the Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet and Ilecla, which is down 4,920 feet. Another deep shaft of the Calumet and Ilecla is the No. 4 of the Calumet branch of the property. This is down 7,800 feet on an incline of a mile and a half. In view of the mar velous efficiency of the modern hoist ing engine no considerations of a me chanical nature need limit the prospec tive depth of shafts. The greatest obstacle to deep mining is the proportionate incrense in tem perature. In the Lake Superior copper district State Geologist Lake has ascer tained that the temperature in the mine varies one degree for every 110 feet. The temperature in the deepest shafts of the Tuinarack and Ilecla va ries between 85 and 90 degrees, and In view of these conditions it is evident that considerable depths can yet be at tained in this section.—Chicugo Chroni cle. Andy Adnftin. Andy Adams, author of "The Log of a Cowboy," Is a native of Indiana. As a youth he went to Texas, where for more than ten years he worked on cat tle ranches. He rose from a common hand to the position of foreman on the old western trail, wlnni f popularity among a class of men whose fealty Is not easily gained. In 1888 he gave up cattle life and turned to mining, being now located at Colorado Springs. When he realized that the life of the old days was gone forever he began to put some of his actual experiences on pa per, for It now seemed to him to have been romantic, though it did not ap peal to him in that light when he was compelled to sit in a saddle from six teen to twenty-four hours at a time in all kinds of weather.—New York Mail and Express. $1.50 a year is all the TRIBUNE costs CHOICE MISCELLANY SiHiiri ROIIMOII'N ♦'Gadfly." One of the late Stuart Uobson's most disastrous theatrical failures was the dramatization of "The Gadfly," which lie produced for two weeks in New York several years ago. "The Satur day night when the play had its last production," says an actor who was in his company, "he was in a very jocular mood. 'Think of it' said he as he stood in the wings preparatory to going on; 'think of it! It has cost me SI,OOO ev iry time I played this part. [The loss for the three weeks was $20,000.] Talk about your public spirited citizens. Where do I come in? Where is my monument? And look how calm and indifferent those fourteen of the lost, strayed or stolen uro out there in the audience over the honor that is about to be conferred upon them. You'd think from the way they sit that they didn't know it costs me almost SIOO apiece to entertain them. Look at that fine sam ple of respectability over there with the red whiskers and Edam cheese head. Think of spending SIOO to enter tain him!' All through the entr'actes he was in the liveliest of moods. 'I have a good mind to make a speech,' he said after the first act. lie assumed a mock threatening attitude. 'Yes, sir, I've a good mind to go out and tell them that they don't know anything about art— a lu Mansfield. What the public wants is a—a talking to.' At the end of the next act he came in and said: 'l've re lented. They look too innocent.' " An Opportunity For Some One. A short time ago the civil service commission announced an examination for the position of disciplinarian in the Indian service. It was decided that applicants must be proficient in penmanship, spelling and copying, arithmetic, school man agement and pedagogy, general man agement and discipline of pupils, geog raphy of the United States, history and government of the United States, Eng lish grammar and analysis, physiology and hygiene and military tactics. The prospectus contained the infor mation that the the person fortunate enough to stand the highest among all the applicants would receive the posi tion of disciplinarian at Fort Totten school, North Dakota, and would re ceive the princely salary of SOOO a year. Chief Examiner Serven a few days after the date of the examination was announced received a letter from a young man in Missouri which read: "I dunno that I'm much on hygiene, but you ought to see me with a cross cut saw." A cynic who is apparently not in love with the civil service suggested that piano playing be added to the curricu lum.—Washington Star. It Take** Years to Climb. The project of climbing the loftiest mountain on the earth, Mount Everest, in the Himalaya mountains, whose tremendous head rises, according to trigonometrical measurements, 20,002 feet above sea level, has now reached a stage immediately antecedent to the actual attempt. A party led by Mr. Eckenstein, an experienced climber, has set out for the foot of the great peak. Several celebrated mountain climbers have expressed the opinion that the feat is feasible, but only by the method of gradual ascent, whereby the adven turers may become Inured to the effects of a rare atmosphere. Months and even years may be spent in ascending to higher and higher levels, a long pause being made after every considerable advance. The highest ascent now on record is that of Aconcagua, in the An des, the elevation of which is 23,080 feet, 5,022 feet, or more than a mile, less than the height of Everest. Wmfjnep and lhc Return to Nature. A Utopian society has established it self in Ascona, a little place on the borders of Italy and Switzerland. This little society, which numbers thirty eight individuals, seeks to solve the problem of how to live happily. The members are pledged to observe Cer tain simple rules of living which they have carried out now for three years. They eat no meat, but live principally on fruits and herbs, and they wear one simple garment only and no hats. There are sixteen women in the sect. They know no laws save those of na ture, and they amuse themselves with Wagnerian music. The founder of the colony is a Belgian. Each new mem ber is initiated on his finding sufficient money to buy a plot of land, by the cultivation of which he is expected to support himself.—London Mail. MaK<'llaii'N Strait. Interesting facts about the geological history of the southern end of the new world were developed by the recent Princeton university expedition to Pat agonia. The terraces on the plains of southern Patagonia are sea cliffs cut during pauses in the slow emer gence of the land, and the present coast is the latest representative of this series of cliffs. Before its sub mergence great transverse valleys were eroded across the land, and since the re-emergence of the latter these val leys contain small intermittent rivers. The southernmost of the ancient val leys, which has not yet entirely emerged, forms the strait of Magellan. Snrtorlul liemmi M trance.

Apropos of Senator Foraker's recent statement that the president was "quick on the trigger, hut not too quick," C. R. Stackhouse of Omaha tells an amusing story of the presi dent's western trip, says the New York Tribune. The presidential train had pulled into Hastings, the end of a divi sion, and, following his usual custom, Mr. Roosevelt sent for the fireman and engineer and, shaking hands with them, made a complimentary little speech on the skill with which they had handled his train, concluding with these words: "You and I have a right to be on fra ternal terms, for, you know, I am an honorary member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen." The remark was received with dead silence, to the president's amazement, and the men departed without reply ing. Turning to a railroad official, Mr. Roosevelt inquired why his little speech fell so fiat and was told that at the time of the Burlington strike the engineers and firemen on that road sev ered all connection with the unions, and the men whom he had addressed were what his "brother firemen" would contemptuously term "scabs." "That," says Mr. Stackhouse, "was a time when the president was too quick on the trigger." The Doctor's Certificate. Letters come by the thousand to the pension bureau and among them many strange ones. This is one received from a "doetur" in North Carolina in refer ence to an application for a pension: While milkin me kows He cum to mo and he scz saz he I Fel a mizery in mi InsidcH. i glv him sum medlson which don him Know good, and he Never wil bee if the government dont cum to hie Releef.

When Dr. Temple, late archbishop of Canterbury, was bishop of Exeter lie sent for the vicar of a remote Devon shire parish on a matter of business. The vicar, who was poor and had to tramp a long way into Exeter, arrived just as the bishop was at lunch. Dr. Temple dispatched the business in his Tfi HE APOLOGIZED HUMBLY. usual curt fashion and dismissed his visitor. A few days afterward the bish op delivered his annual address to his clergy and at the close invited com ment on anything that had occurred in the diocese. Presently the poor old vicar got up and after describing how he had walked all the way from his re mote parish to the palace and back without being offered so much as a cup of cold water asked that a little more consideration might he? shown to those of the clergy who were old and poor. The bishop said nothing, but after re plying to the other speakers turned at last to the old clergyman, apologized humbly and begged him to believe that it was not want of courtesy, but want of thought, which had caused his lack of hospitality. Underhanded Work. M. Jules Cambon, the former French ambassador, had a great regard for the energy of the United States, lie desired to see this country prosper, "for," said he, "when you have money you buy from us, who have goods to sell." When the successful tests of the Hol land submarine boat were called to M. Canibon's attention he declared Ids dis appointment. "I grieve," he remarked. "You Amer icans usually are fair in everything and deal with others aboveboard. But now I observe that you will, when nec essary, have no hesitation in employ ing underhand methods or go to the uttermost depths in aceomplishing your desires."—Detroit Free Press. Nothing New. A young medical student at Bowdoin college once asked the late Professor Parker ('leu vela ml if there were not some more recent Works on anatomy than those in the college library. "Young man." said the professor, measuring tin#entire mental caliber of the youthful seholnr at one glance, "there have been very few new bones ! added to the human body during the I lust ten years."—l'outh. BASE BALL. The first defeat received thl9 season by West Hazleton club was administered ;to them yesterday by Drifton team, which won an interesting game at West Hazleton by a score of 7 to 3. Boyle and Bonner were the battery for Drif ton. The Crescents, accompanied by a large number of friends, journeyed yes terday to l'ark View, where they lost their first game of the season. Their opponents were the Audenrled Reds and the score was 11 to G. The Balaklava club will meet East Stroudsburg normal school team on the latter's grounds tomorrow. A stroug club has been chosen from among the local players for the trip. Con McGeehan, the famous twlrler for Iloly Cross team, is expected home tomorrow. His services will be in de mand by the local clubs during his va cation. Rain on Saturday afternoon and even ing prevented the game scheduled to bo played at the Tigers park by Hazleton All-Collegians and the Tigers. The clubs will meet iu the near future. More practice is badly needed by a great number of local players. Team work is conspicuous by its absence in the games this season. A picked nine went down before the Tigers at Jeddo yesterday by a score of 21 to 2. Do You Enjoy What You Eat? If you don't your food does not do you any good.

While lime will fre quently increase the yield of potatoes, It Is the worst thing you can use if there is any seal) on the seed. This scab is a skin disease which thrives best when the soil is alkaline. The lime gives the germs just the condition they need for growing and spreading, and as seed Is rarely it'over froe from scab you ure sure to% ve a scabby crop if you use it. We nave tried sev eral times to raise a crop of potatoes on a tough old meadow, but never suc ceeded in doing it.

Where farmers desire to secure copies of publications of the agricultural de partment they should apply preferably to their members of congress or United States senators, providing they know t lie numbers or names of the publica tions, for the reason that the bulk of the farmer's bulletins are printed un der act of congress and every senator and representative receives a quota for distribution. The secretary of agricul ture also receives some copies, but the demands should preferably he made on the congressmen, as congress is the body which authorizes the money for the printing, and it is right that appli cations for such documents should be made direct.—Tennessee Farmer.
