With all the popularity and open handed hospitality fir which Provi dent Roosevelt Is Justly celebrated, the Boeial Benson in Washington whs Inaugurated at. the White House on New Years lay, with as large and as brilliant a reception as has ever been seen within its walls. All the officials of the government, and t lie general public by the thousands, crowded to pay their respects tij the first gentleman of the land, who received each one graciously. Even the weather was faultless; a cloudles sky, with the mercury marking 75 degrees, thus ignoring the olllclal prediction or "rain or snow." The army and navy officers formed at the war office and marched in long columns from the building. Among the new diplomats present, for the first time were the British embassa dor and the new minister from the Infant republic of Panama,. Mrs. Roosevelt st.xid by her husband's side while the public filed past, as glad to see and greet the common people as the officials. She was robed In a rich white satin dress, the front breadths richly ornamented with seed pearl embroidery. The waist, cut square in the neck, was uls) e m broidered, as were the wide shoulder bands from which fell fluffy chiffon angel sleeves parting at the elbow. Pearls for ornaments. Miss Alice Koosevelt, also in white, stood behind her mother. The piesident looked anxious and weary, but greeted each visitor with a smile and a shake of the hands. The White House was decked in Christmas greens, and Im pressed one with its atmosphere of elegance, refinement and home-like quality. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt are so frank and hearty In their welcome to all visitors that the public is charmel with the simplicity and sincerity of the republican court. This example has had Its Influence upon Washington society, and in no other city can be found more demo cratic or hospitable hosts. After the official reception the people hurried away to attend the other receptions given "by cabinet, ministers. Admiral Dewey, and other high officials. The happy admiral surrounded himself with thirty young ladies frotn naval households, and his parlors were thronged with men In uniform, re minding one of a battle ship clearing for action. On the same day Mrs. Hoot gave her last reception; Mrs. Cortelyou gave her first, and Mr. Moody, secretary of navy, being a bachelor, gave none. During January each member of the cabinet will give a dinner to the president, and afterwards he returns the compliment, having also for his guests the Supreme Court judges, the senators, the foreign ambassadors, officers of the army and navy, and various other notable folks. The old custom of keeping open house' has been renewed In Washington and now society, clubs, and churches give receptions. The brief days of the winter season are made long and cheerful by the numerous entertainments. Strangers are siierbly received, and they come from all quarters and are of all degrees. Mo less than one thousand school teachers were in Washington from New York and New Jersey during the holiday. College hoys, young society ladies of prominence, foreigners of distinction, leading poli ticians, authors, artists, all find their t-Iement in the Federal city.

At all times the ' warm-hearted southern people in Washington are social and hospitable, but it takes cold weather to unite them In good cheer. The Mt. Vernon Place church which boasts members from every southern state, font out a thousand invitations for Isew Years and held a laige reception. A special booth was erected for each southern state, decorated with greens and the slate flags. The Texas booth was covered with cotton anil the one for Roufli Carolina displayed palmetto hats in a row. Justice ami Mrs. Oliver Wen dell Holmes have given a house warming. The new British Am bassador and Lady Duraml have extended their hospitalities to the diplomatic corps. The Chicago holocaust ha9 com pelled an overhauling of all the theaters in this city, and a vigorous inspection. There Is less excitement today at the Russian and Japanese legations in this city because of the announce ment that Russia has postponed for two weeks her answer to the Japanese demand. Rut the delay may not mean peace. The Nnval Observatory here an nounced the beginning of the New Year by telegraph to every city in the country, ticking oft the exact second when its first hour commenc ed. -The record was even in Alaska, Guam, and the Philippines. Anti-imperialists claim that they are not dead yet, having been gal vanized into activity by the conduct of our "emperor" In Panama, and they boldly bring forward as their candidate for the presidency before the democratic -convention. Gen. Nelson A. Miles. His strength is not of that kind which anti-expansionists usually prefer, be'.iig wholly military and even pugnacious, but it is insisted that lie would poll some vote because he got himself repri manded by the president for impru dent conduct. Miles Is a Massachu setts man, and Gamaliel Bradford thinks he would carry the state. Whether he would carry the south In view of th6 fact that he put shackles upon Jefferson Davis is another question. However, it is generally believed that Jefferson Davis is dead. Tha Wonderful Hen! The hen may not carry an over load of brains in her little head, but, as a farmer; she sizes up big in the aggregate. In the United States she rolls op a total product valued at about 300,000,000 a year, compared with 232,000,000 for tun swine, $170,000,000 for the sheep, and 197,000,000 for the mules of the country. Not only does she beat the swine, sheep and uiule as an earner, but her yearly product of 300,000 000 stands ahead of oats with 209,000,000, barley with tii. 000,000, rye with 13,000,000, buck wheat with $5,000,000, and potatoes with $91,000,000. She earns yearly for Illinois 21,000,000, for Iowa 20,000,000, for Ohio 19,000,000, for Missouri 18,000,000, for Pennsyl vania lfi.000.000, for Indiana IS, 000,000, for Kw Yuik 1. "10.000, GOO. for Kansas 14,000,000, and for Michigan $11,000,000. She produces more than tho gold mines or the silver mines i t the republic.

About Answers to Invitations Many persons are ignorant on the points pf etiquette that relate to the answering of invitations. Frequent ly, on account of uncertainty as to tha proper time or wording of a reply one is made to appear rude, when such was far from the inten tion. Like all the prescribed forms of good manners, these are based on the principles of courtesy and con sideraleness toward others. The rules are simple, but in certain details invariable, and anyone wbo wishes to move in good oircles must thoroughly understand thorn. In The Delineator for February there is an article on the subject thai can be consulted with entire confidence as to its reliability.

THE HEAVENS IN JANUARY Though the bright planets which have added so much to tho evening skies for the past few months are now disappearing early in the west, the winter heavens still present a spectacle of groat magnificence. In identiflying the constellations which we can now see, let us begin with Orion, which is nearly due south at 9 o'clock in the evening during tho middle of the month. This splendid constellation is familiar to almost everyone, and need not be described here. The line of Orion's belt, continued downward and to the left, points to Sirius, which can be reeogr.izeu by its great brightness, three times that of any other star we ever see. Below it is the rest of Canis Major, with several bright second-magnitude stars that would bo conspicuous if they were not so low. Some distance to the left, and higher up, is Procyon the other uog star, and farther on in the same direction is Gemini, with its twin stras Castor and Pollux. A line from Betelgeuse the bright red star in Orion through Procyon, continued about as .half as far again. points out the bead of Hydra, a small but fairly conspicuous group. Farther north and lower down is ReguhiB, at the end of the sickle of Leo. Cancer,, which lies between Leo and Gemini, has nothing of in terest except the star-clustor known as Fraesepe, which is easily visible on a moonless night as a small patch of milky light, wl ile separate com ponents are disclosed by a field glass. Directly below Orion, and le7el with Sinus, is the small constella tion Lepus. Still lower is Col u tuba, with one fairly bright star, which lies about as far from Birius on one side as Procyon does on the other. Tha large region to the right of these groups is occupied by the incon spicuous constellation Eridanus. Orion's belt, continued upward, points to Aldebaran, and beyond nearly to the Pleiades. 'Above these, aud very uearly overhead, is Auriga, whose principal star, Capella, is the brightest, next to Birius, that we can now see. Aries is almost due west of the zenith, at an altitude of abont 50 deg south, and west of it is Cetus, which fills most of the southwest ern sky. The great square of Pegasus stands on one corner low down in the west, and the line of stars which extends from it through Andromeda and Perseus to Capella is nearly vertical. Cygnus is just setting in the northwest, but its brightest star is still visible. Of the circumpolar constellations, Cassiopeia is high on the left of the polo, Cepheus lower down, Draco and Ursa Minor right below the polo, and Ursa Major coming tip on the right. A Hotel Burned The Keystone Hotel at Lncka waxen, George A. Elston proprietor, was burned with nearly all its con tents the evening of December 31st. The fire originated either in the tank room on the third story or in the bath room airectly under it and was caused by the explosion of a lamp. Mr. Elston had, during the past year, expended considerable in improving the property and bis loss which he estimates at $12,000 is only partly covered by insurance.

CHRISTINA OPT Mrs. Ost, relect of the late John Osfc, who died May 24, 1901, depart ed this life at the home of ber son, William, in Montague, N. J., Sat urday, January 2d, aged about 70 years. She was born and married in Germany, and came to this country with her husband in the early fifties and has since resided in this section. Surviving her are two daughters, Christina, wife of T. Gregor of Newark, Matilda, wife of John Galewaler of Watorbury, Conn., Ira, of Now York, William and Abram of Montague, and on3 sister, Mrs. Rebecca Meisenhelder of this place. The fnneral was held Mon day. MRS. HENRIETTA WILSON Information has reached here, but without particulars, of tha death of Mrs. Henrietta Wilson, formerly Haggerty, at Rochester, about two weeks ago. She was born in this place which was her residence until she married some years ago and went to Waver ly, N. Y., and was a daughter of the late David W. and Sophia Hag gerty. She is survived by one son, rani, by one brother, Mark, of New York, and one sister, Mary, wife of Edward Cahill of this town. A Long Maned Horse Amsrvolonsly-maned mare, whose wealth of silver-gray hair reaches a length of eighteen feet, and sur passes anything of the kind ever heard of in eqnine history. Is owned by George O. Zillgitt, of Inglewood, Cal., who purchased her seven years ago, when she was three years old. At that time her mane was of ordinary length, and it was not until a yar later that it began to grow with unusual rapidity. For a nmnber of years this horse was used on the Zillgitt farm in North Dakota Daring that time the mane was kept in a net, and was seldom taken down oftener than once a year. The heavy plow collar robbed against and injured the back part of the mane, but the npper part still remains, and trails out in gorgeous waves ot silver when unbound from the braida that are ao necessary to keep it from getting tangled. No one haa been able to account for this superfluity of hair. The animal has not been given special care. She has been treated quite like an ordi nary horse, and the extraordinary growth is simply the result of some strange prank of nature. A month ago Mr. Zillgitt took the horse to California, where she is being used in the family carriage. She is the mother of a oolt that seems destined to be even more famous than hor parent. Though only a few months old, this colt possesses both mane and tail that reaoh to the ground. ' Coldest Here Ever Known The weather started on a regular rampage last Saturday, when snow fell, accompanied with a gale of wind, to the depth of several inches and the mercury in thermometers began descending toward the bulb This tendency became more pro nounced until the climax was reach- ed Tuesday morning, Jan, 5, when several thermometers in town regis tered 24" below and reports from places near by say that it went to 27 below. This is the coldest weather ever experienced here with in the recollection of any inhabitant and the coldest by far of any record ed. All over the country it was the same in kind though varying some what in degree. Railroad trains were greatly delayed and the cold snap was nnparalelled in its general extent and the amount of incon venience and suffering it caused. Somuch complaint is made because eggs are so high that we give a recipe to make hens lay, for which John Kernel., the Irish comedian. who died recently, paid S. "To make a heu lay. Tie a stout string around the ben's body, lar the bird on her' Bide on a board and fasten the string underneath. If it is thought dotiirab'.e, a pillow may be placed under the ben's head."

THE RAMBLER'S PICKINGS No one can complain about the westher not being cold. If the old settler could have been here a few mornings the past week even he would have been satisfied. Three fires on farms lately around hero, two of thsm beinef caused by defective chimneys should put build, ers on their guard. CH, & L. Co. No. 1 hold their regular meeting tonight. Gathering ice is a job of the past. Shoveling snow and cntting wood have taken its place. ' The supper and dance given by the fire department was not a success financially. The expenses inourred were too heavy. A year ago when the supper was furnished by the ladles of this town the ex penses to the department were next to nothing. But the boys felt delicate about asking the pnhlio aghin for free contributions, hence the deficiency, which would not exist even now if more liberal support bad been given to the boys who are always ready and willing to got out at the tolling of the bell. The closing of the Delaware at Matamoras has been considerable trouble to those who are compelled to go to Port Jervia. By woy of Jersey seems now about the only safe, but long about route.

The trial of George Jagger of Sandyston, whioh was to have taken place at Newton next Monday has been adjourned until in February.. Wise and Otherwise It is thought that th i 3 udge Parker boom lacks resonance. It is now understood that the voters are to have something to say about the next election. It is announced that since Mr, Bryan's European tour he has become more liberal. Room! Senator Gorman, Judge Parker or some other democrat will undoubted ly receive the nomination. Thai deaf mute who was introduc ed to the president the other day was one of the few who did not ask for ofiice. In his instructions to tiie Indian Office to get some results out of the frauds question President Roosevelt told them to cut red tape and inject red blood into their methods. Mr. Olney of the famous "Olney Boom", graduated at Brown before Mr. Roosevelt was born. Should Mr. O. be nominated, the voters will doubtless see the difference. Perry Heath has cnnoiinced that he heard President McKinley say that he expected Mr. Hanna to succeed him as president. But Mr. Hanna has opined contrarywise. The esteemed democratic Post Dispatch of St. I)uis queries, "Shall txxxllers be exempt from punish ment? Why ask? The Missouri Supreme Court has already answered Yes." That latest gift of Mr. Rockefeller's to the Chicago University was only 1,800,000. The question presenting itself to the oil consumers of the country is, what went with the other paltry 150,000. It is gravely announced in the press dispatches that Colonel Bryan "will stick to silver." Considerable, silver has stuck to Col. Bryan since he began publishing books and de livering lectures at so much per. The Spirit of Winter The Spirit of Winter is with us, making its presence known iu many different ways sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows, and sometimes by driving winds an.! blinding storms. 1o many people it stems to take a delight in making bad tilings worse, for rheumatism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh liecomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofula are developed and aggravated.
