CHANGES rHE WHITE HOUSE.

Tie care and maintenance of the
White House cost good deal of
money. The sums asked for the next
iscal year are:
Contingent expenses Of White Houses S,q)h
ImpTOyeme Mt, care aud maintenance Ot
grounds south o. White liouse.......... 1901
Care OF green houses and nursery .......... &,pJj
care, repair, and furnishing OF White ,,
lighting White House ..................... 1(uO
TOtal......... co 'V'
This is a trifle less than the appropri-
alton for the present year, but the ques-
ton will Obtrude itself, What becomes
of all this money? Care, repair and
furnishing, 81, 000," and yet the work o.
decorating and refurnishing in style
OF elegance never before reached has
only Just been finished. Mr.. ARTHUR
has aesthetic tastes, and the White
House has never been so elegant in its
appointments as under his administra-
ton. The present years appropriation,
therefore, is accounted for, but what is
$4,000 wanted for next year? Light
ing the old mansion, too, is pretty ex-
pensive job if it is to take $4,000 for gas
alone. While it may seem captious TO
grOwl at such small things, one cannot
hut look back at the time when the
whole cost of keeping up the Presidents
house each year was good deal less
than it now costs to light it, and the
earlier Presidents managed to have q
pretty comfortable time in it, too.
There were no satin-wOOd beesteads
nor birds egg ceilings. nor moon-On-
the-lake tapestries, nor Sevres dinner
services to be seen, but ANDREW JACK
son, for instance, always had a COM
rortable rest for his heels before the big
fire place, and a convenient closet in
which to store his black bottle and corn
cob pipes. Times have changed since

SEED CORN.
FARMERS,

Look to your Seed Corn
this year, as it is estimated
that fully three quarters of
the seed corn saved last fall
will not grow. We have care
fully examined the corn from
different sections in Kansas
and Nebraska, and have sec
ured a quantity from near
Lincoln, Neb.
This corn has been carefully
selected for seed, and we can
recommend it as the best and
safest seed corn to oe obtai-
ned in Northern Illinois.
We have tested one hun
dred grains taken from one
hundred ears and every grain
grew. We can safely say that
ninety-tive per cent, will grow.
We would advise all farm
ers in want Of seed corn to
send their orders in at once.
as our supply is limited, and
we may not be able to get any
more as good.

THE SAFEST WAY.

Uncle John was Harry's ideal of
great and noble man. And it was
not a mistaken ideal. Uncle Johns
hair was white with the passing of
over eighty winters, but his eye was
bright, his step firm, and his voice
earnest and kindly as ever. His life
had been one of uprightness as well
as one of what the world calls sue
cess.
II never signed pledge on my

A movement is on foot in Texas
to accomplish what far-seeing men
have long urged as an agricultural
necessity of the future. 1t is to put an
end to the absorption of small farms
into large ones. Smaller farms with
in the working ability of the average
farmer and more of them is the re-
form desired. The farmers of Har-
rison county, Texas, propose to di-
vide their large plantations into small
farms, and to offer them to actual
settlers on the installment plan, be-
lieving such action will soon convert
idle lands into profitable farms and
fill up the country with thrifty tax
payers.

RICH-LOOKING GARMENTS.

Not every lady can afford to buy
long and handsome garments of
heavy, rich material for outside wear.
But all ladies like to be we'll dressed.
So, if cloak or coat needs brighten
ing up to be made presentable for
possibly the third or fourth Winters
wear, it can now be very easily done
by purchasing collar, cuffs, and trim
mings, of either velvet or plush. and
by this addition the garment can fire.
quently be made to look almost as
good as new, while the expense is
slight in comparison with the pur-
chase of new garment entire.
Small capes fitted to the shoulders,
like the cuffs and trimming, look
well on slight figures, and are very
much worn. A band of trimming
five inches wide can be put around
the bottom of the cloak, if desired !;
or yet only neck and sleeve trimmings
need be used.
Black materials need black plush
trimmings. Brown and gray goods
look we'll with either brown or gar
net, or even blue velvets or pushes,
for trimmings. Red is the promi-
nent color for the little folks wear
this Fall, although some blues and
grays are seen.
Whee there is only small sun
of money to be laid out in purchasing
new materials, and this is only toe
frequently the case, one very gooc
plan is to 90 through presses, trunks
and drawers, and bring out just wha
is on hand. Then study the needs
of those who are to wear the gar
ments, and see how much will do t.
make over for this Winters wear
And let the items of trimming ant
the plans for making up be well no
ted before any new things whateve
are purchased. In this way som
dollars can be kept for such goods a
will prove just what is needed t
complete the outfit. And in buying
good and rich material always pay
best in the end. 1t looks better t
begin with, it wears better to wor
with. and will make over, to en-
with.

A TALK WITH TOM.

IA =
You want to know, Tom, what is
the first quality of manhood?
Well, listen. / am going to tell
You in one little word of only five
letters. And l am going to write
that word in very loud letters as
though you were deaf, so that you
may never forget it. That word is
sstruth.''
Now, then remember, truth is the
only foundation on which can be
erected manhood that is worthy of
being so called.
Now, mark what say, truth must
be the only foundation on which the
whole character is to be erected, for
otherwise, no matter how beautiful
the upper stories may be, and no
matter of how good material they
may be built, the edifce, the charac-
ter, the manhood, will be but sham
which offers no sure refuge and pro-
lection to those who seek it, for it
will tumble down when trial comes.
Alas, my boy, the world is very
| full of such shams of manhood, in
every profession and occupation.
There are lawyers in this town who
know that they have never had any
training to fit them for their work,
who yet impose upon the people and
take their money for giving them adj
vice which they know they are unfit
ted to give. | heard of one lately
who advised his partner snever have
anything to do with law books for
they would confuse his mind.
There are ignorant physicians who
know that they are ignorant, and
who can and do impose upon people
more ignorant than themselves.
There are preachers without humber
pretending to know what they have
never learned. Don't you see that
their manhood is at best but beau
tiful deceit?
Now, 1 want you to be man, and
that you may be that, I want yor
to be true, thoroughly true. | hope
you would scorn to tell lie, but tha
is only the beginning of truthfulness
: l want you to despise all sham, al
, pretence, all effort to seem to be 9th
erwise than you are.
When we have laid that foundation
} then we can go on to build up man
hood, glorious and godlike after th
: perfect image of Him the perfec
: Man, who said that he was born tina
he might bear witness to the truth
: Bishop Dudley.

STRANGE USE FOR PAPER.

Paper car-wheels are composed en-
tirely of paper rings pressed under
a weight of six tons, and then fasten-
ed by means of bolts and steel ties
put on them, when they are ready
for use. Laid loosely, the rings
stack as high as the shoulders of an
ordinary man. Under treatment they
sink to the thickness required. If
the tire should wear or fall off the
wheel, or the train from the track,
there would be no danger of their
breaking, as they are flexible, and
would spring. A paper ball can be
rendered so solid that nothing but a
diamond tool can cause an indenta-
ton into it. At the mill is a square
block of compressed paper fastened
on turning lathe, and so hard, that,
if fine steel chisel is held against it
when it is moving, instead of cutting
the paper it will break the chisel into
a hundred pieces. The strength is
astonishing. You can take a f5
note of the Bank of England, twist
it into kind of rope, suspend $50
pounds upon one end of it, and it
will not injure it in the slightest de-
gree. Bath-tubs and pots are form
ed by COMPRISING the paper made
out of linen fibres annealed-that is,
painted over with composition, which
becomes a part thereof and is fire
proof. The tubs last indefinitely,
never leak, and, put in the fire, will
not burn up. You can beat on them
with hammer and not injure them.
Plates compressed and annealed are
durable; you can not only wash, but
drop them upon the floor and stand
upon them. The fork can be used
for any particular purpose, and the
knife can always be kept sharp. Pa.
per can be substituted for wood, con.
verted into picture frames, and col
ored like walnut, cherry, and the
like.
Bedsteads are fashioned the same
as car-wheels, only of long strips in
stead of rings. They are very beau
tiful and lasting. Cooking or heat
ing stoves are also annealed, and i
is impossible to burn them out. The
are less costly than iron. A hous
can be literally constructed and fur
nished with every convenience in pa
per. The printing-press, type, ant
all the fixtures of the office, could b
concocted out of this material, an,
more cheaply than the ordinary kind
A complete steam engine can be thu
manufactured and do all require
duty. Clothes and shoes will com
in the future. Twenty-Five hour
: are needed to transfer linen fibre int
a car-wheel.

We saw a boy mailing up box
the other day, containing some arti-
cles which he intended sending by
express. From the nature of the
contents we knew it was essential
that the box should not be inverted
on the passage. So we ventured the
suggestion to place the much-abused
"This side up etc., conspicuously
on the cover. A few days after we
saw our boy again.
"Heard from your goods yet? Did
they get there safely?'
EVERY one broke p replied he,
sullenly. ''Lost the hull lot! Hang

''Did you put on, This side up,
