The household now called to the
White House by the death of President
Garfield has no lady presiding over it,.
President Arthur lost his wife last Jan
uary, and the acute feeling over her loss
is among the sad reflections which press
upon the President at this time. He has
two children, one youth of seventeen,
named after his father, but called Allan
by the family; the other daughter Of
eleven, named Nellie. These with the
servants, constitute the household of the
modest Lexington avenue residence.
The President has one brother, Major
William Arthur, of the regular army.
He has three married sisters. OF these,
Mrs. Mary McElroy, of Albany, has
spent much time at his house of late,
and has looked as much after his domes-
tic affairs as she could. If the cares of
her family will permit, Mrs. McElrOy
will most probably be the lady who will
preside in the White House.

Words Of Courage.

A great deal OF talent il LOST to the
world for the want of little courage.
Every day sends to the grave number
Of obscure men who have only remained
in obscurity because their timidity has
prevented their making the first effort,
and who, If they could have been in
iuced to begin, would in all Probabii-
ity have gone great lengths in the career
Of fame. The fact is, in order to do
anything in this world that Is worth
doing, we must not stand shivering on
the brink. and think. of the cold and
danger, but jump in and scramble as we
can. 1t will not do to be perpetually
calculating risks and adjusting nice
chances. 1t did very well before the
food, when a man could consult his
friends upon a publication OF one hun.
dred and fifty years, and then live to see
its successes six or seven centuries OF.
terward; but at present man waits and
doubts, and hesitates, and consults his
brother, and his uncle, and his pArticu-
lar friends, till one day he finds that he
is sixty years of age; that he has lost
so much time in consulting first cousins
and particular friends that he has no
time left to follow their advice. There
is such little time for oyer-squeamish-
ness at present, the opportunity SO easily
slips away, the very period Of his life ai
which man chooses TO venture, II ever,
is go confined. that it is no bad rule to
preach up the necessity, such instances
Of little violence done to feelings. and
Of efforts made in defiance OF strict and
sober calculation.

How to Detect AduIterated Coffee.

Ground coffee affords field for adul.
teration, and for this purpose chicory,
carrots, caramel, date seeds, ETC., arc
the substances most commonly used.
Take little of the coffee and press il
between the fingers, or give it squeeze
in the paper in which it is bought; il
genuine it will not form coherent mass,
as coffee grains are hard and do not
readily adhere to each other; but if the
grains stick to each other and form
sort OF "cake," We may be pretty sure
of adulteration in the shape of chicory,
for the grains of chicory are softer and
more open, and adhere without Difficult
ty when squeezed.
Again, if We place a few grains in a
saucer and moisten them with a little
cold water, ehicory will very quickly be-
come soft like bread while
coffee will take long time to soften.
A third test: take wine glass or q
tumbler full of water and gently drop o
pinch Of ground coffee on the surface
Of the water without stirring or agitat-
ing; genuine coffee will float for some
time, while chicory or any other soft
root will soon sink, and chicory or cara
mel will cause a yellowish or brownish
color to diffuse rapidly through the
water, while pure coffee will give no
sensible tint under such circumstances
for considerable length of time
"Cofi'ee mixtures or "coiIee improv-
ers" should he avoided. Tlisy seldom
consist OF anything but chicory and
caramel.-Sntilm'idn

Chinese Passion for Photographs.

The desire Of the Chinese to have
their photographs taken amounts to a
passion. There is one firm in this city
which does a large business almost ex-
clusively with Chinese. Conversing
with veteran photographer, who has
looked at more Chinese LONELINESS

porter learned some facts about the
Celestial desire for portraits. "You
see," said he, pointing to row of pho
tographs in which a lot Of Unlocking
Mongolians faced the spectator, with
their toes turned out and their arms
akimbo, call these are in the same po-
sition. 1t is not once in year that you
find Chinaman who wants to strike
any other attitude. He believes that
when he has his heels pointed toward
each other and his elbows crooked as il
they were cast-iron, he is the picture of
dignified repose. The higher the
social standing of the Chinaman
the sitter he wants to look. White
people want to look as if they were
utterly unconscious of sitting for
their picture, but the Chinese sub

for his picture, and that he is thinking
of it. In the points that white people
are most particular about the Chinese
are thoroughly careless. A Chinaman
doesn't care whether you touch up the
wrinkles in his face, or tone down the
uneyenness Of his features. He does
not seem to have an eye for such things,
but he wants every line Of his dress
brought out clearly as possible. He.is
particular to have his toes pointed out,
and wants to have his shoes come out
in the picture as plainly as his hands
and fan. He is bound to have fan. II

the essentials of picture he has no re-

light and corresponding deep shadow.
He wants it to be like himself, without
color."-Sdn Francisco Chronicle.

Spiders Obstruct tIe TeIeerauh.

One Of the chief hinderances to tele-
graphing in japan is the grounding of
the current by spider lines. The trees
bordering the highways swarm with
spiders, whichspin their webs everywhere
between the earth, wires, posts, insula-
tors and trees. When the spider webs
are covered with heavy dews they be-
come good conductors and run the
messages TO earth. The only way to re-
move the difficulty is by employing men
to sweep the wires with brushes Of
bamboo; but as the spiders are more
numerous and persistent than the brush
users the difficulty remains always q
