HOW THE PRESIDENTS HAVE
LIVED.

One hundred years ago the heads of
Government were unable to live on their
salaries. The fact has been patent from
tie earliest hours of the Government to
now. The company and state that Off
cials have been obliged to maintain has
forbidden any one retiring with COM
potency. Our fathers would not run in
debt, therefore they practiced the most
rigid economy. If the Government Off
GERS at Washington should learn this
lesson, the Centennial would be worth
more than it will cost. Mrs. Adams was
the first mistress of the White House.
The building was unfinished and unfur-
nished. An Irish shanty possessed more
comfort. The house could not be warm
ed and was barely lighted. The most
graphic letters, written by Mrs. Adams,
described her suffering in the White
House Her weeks washing was hung
up in the east room. Her style of liy-
ing. adopted not from parsimony, but
from necessity, would disgust an ordin-
airy treasury clerk. Washington exact
ed the strictest economy at home, that
he might serve his country and not i'm
pair his private fortune. Jefferson was
well off when he went into public life.
He inherited 1900 acres, which he in
creased to 5000. His income, indepen-
dent of his farm revenue. was $4,000 a
year. His wife's dowry was $4,000
in cash. Had he let public life alone
estate he would have been rich man.
His public career closed in 1909. For
nineteen years he was absent from Mon
tieello, and seven of these years were
passed abroad. He returned TO find his
estate ruined. his property squandered,
his fortune scattered. All attempts to
retrieve his fortune were in vain. He
was adjudged bankrupt New York
city sent him donation of s8. 200. and
other cities were alike generous. Jack
son had style of his own. Like good
soldier he lived within his income Al
the Rip Raps in the summer. in a low
farmhouse. coat of, feet in slippers. a
cob pipe in his mouth, chair tipped back,
be gave audience to ambassadors. Van
Baren had private fortune Of his own.
Pierce. by rigid economy. carried $780,
/ 600 out of the White House. No clerk
in the custom house lives in as econom.
ical style as did the bachelor for Pres
ident, James Buchanan President Lin,
coin saved half Of his salary during biz
term Of Office.

"As education in the Territory is so re-
stricted that the franchise would be in
telligently exercised by very few, and
as there are only about 5000 English
speaking people within its limits. it is
evident that the politics Of the Territory
would be controlled by a very small
number Of leaders. The great mass of
its population is composed Of Spanish
poems and Indians. The standard of
morality is very low. Life is extremely
insecure, and there are more homicides
in this Territory, annually, than in all
the Others combined. There is no emf
grafton from the East, worth considering.
The population decreased from $4,000
in 1860. to 1890 in 1870, being about
three-quarters Of an inhabitant to the
square mile. To give population like
this the right to neutralize New York in
the Senate Of the United States would
seem an ill-advised act We have al
ready enough rotten boroughs."

OLD AGE AND WOMANHooD.

Mrs. H. w. Beecher has been repeat
edly requested to give some reasons why
ladies are reluctant to acknowledge their
true age; but she doubts if this folly is
as common as is usually believed. In
early youth each additional year is hail
ed as a mark of honor and our little ones
are far more eager to magnify than la
dies are supposed to be inclined to sub
tract from the full number of years. The
mistake of our young people lies, she
thinks, in fostering false impressions !;
in yielding without protest to the popu-
lar heresy that an sold maid" must, of
necessity, be disagreeable and trouble
some-and that from these peculiarities
there is no escape. On the contrary, our
daughters should be taught that it rests
almost entirely with ones own self,
whether, if living in '.single blessed
ness" one shall be the bugbear of the
family, or its sweetness, its crown aud
its glory. These latter blessed ones have
no hesitation in speaking of their age
under the proper circumstances.
But there is class of ladies who en-
deavor to hide their age even at the ex-
pense of truth-the mothers who love
dress and fashionable life more than
their homes and children. Who, to Sc
cure the compliments and attentions us
ually given to the young, keep their
daughters in boarding schools away from
home as long as possible, looking for
ward to their children's vacation with
dread. and see their little girls shoot up
into beautiful and graceful women with
dismay. Every advance toward maturi-
ty is to the vain and heartless mother
an index to her own age. Such women
dread old age, and with reason, and will
not acknowledge it so long as by every
known rejuvenator or cosmetic, even al
the risk of health or life, they can ward
off the dreaded foe. Their daughters,
just entering upon the unnatural excite
ments and dissipation of fashionable life.
will not give up their own qualification
to soOthe the declining years of mother:
who are made prematurely old and help
less by former dissipation. How differ
ent the lot of those mothers who have
made home and home duties their pleas
ure. and, having tried to 90 their wholt
duty, shrink not from wrinkles, gray
hairs or old age, but keeping their hearts
young find increased happiness and hon
or in every added year, rejoicing Will
joy unspeakable in the love and devO
ton of children who have seen in thei
mothers age but the ''sunset breaking
into day."
