Tne annual renovation of the White
House has begun, it being the inten-
ton of Gen. Arthur to depart in few
days. During his absence not only
will many of the adornments Of last
year be treated by artists, but new
ones will be added. New furniture
will be bought, and carpets which a
years use has rendered unsuitable will
be replaced by new. Gen. Arthurs
rosebud portrait will be removed, and
another by different artist will take
its place. The President has never
been pleased with the former, but per
mitted it to remain rather than seem to
endorse the criticisms which were made
on it. The intention is that the White
House, when the next season opens
shall be in a condition to realize tn,
purpose of Gen. Arthur OF having the
coming winter unexampled for th'
character OF its entertainments and
brilliancy of its company. 1t is already
decided that the Presidents sister, Mrs
MeElroy, will be the mistress of tn
White House with such aids and ac
cessories as will realize the purpose o
making the concluding days of Gen
Arthurs occupancy fully equal to an

A Glass Of Water.

There are some very pleasing tricks
that may be performed with glass Of
water. Not only do they amuse, but
lessons in natural science may be learn
ed at the same time. One requires only
sheet OF paper in addition to the COB
let of water. ........it
Fill the goblet brimming full of
water, and cover it with the sheet of
paper then turn the glass quickly
over /; the pressure of the atmosphere
upon the paper will sustain the water
which will not run out.
This experiment should be first prac-
ticed over bowl or pan until accuracy
is required. Nose 4.a
Another experiment consists of fill.
ing dry tumbler even full of water,
and dropping coins into the center OF
the goblet the coins edge downward
The water will rise up little as each
additional coin is dropped, until you
may say you have tumbler heaping
full of water. The top edge of the
goblet should be made dry before drop
ping the coins. .as .H.ll.a i.a
The third experiment will illustrate
the philosophy of the diving bell. Take
goblet, and when inverted, sink j,
into vessel of water. You will fine
that the air in the glass will not all
escape, and will occupy the upper hal
Of the goblet and hold the water back
BY putting fly or two in the glass be
fore sinking it, the insects will repre-
sent the divers as they 60 down in th'
bells.
The fourth experiment consists o
drawing water from saucer up into
goblet. To do this put some waite
into tea saucer, then light littl'
wad Of dry paper, and after placing
on the water surface, in the center O
the dish, turn an empty goblet over it
The heat will force out greater por
| tion of the air, and form vacuum
and the outer air, in an effort to fiji
| the vacuum, forces the water from tn
saucer up into the goblet

SOMETHING ABOUT THE DOMESTIC LIFE OF
MORMoNs WITH MANY WIVES.

Prom Harpers Magazine "a. t.l
The private home routine of po.
lygamous family is matter upon
which so much curiosity is constantly
expressed by my acquaintances that !
venture to say here what little ! know;
but the reader must remember that
less than ten per cent. of the voting
Mormon population of Utah are polyg-
! amists
The polyganst, as rule, has aeon
tnulated some property and owns a
house before he takes second and
successive wives, though sometimes llc
begins by marrying two or three at
once. All of these marriages, howev-
err, except the first, arc made secretly
by the Church, and no record of them
is accessible. nu.
IT. the city, at least, i, is seldom that
the different wives share the same
quarters. LII the country this is not
so common, but the natural unpleasant
ness follows in most cases. The gen
eral method is to have large house,
the main part of which, perhaps, is oc
cupied by the first wife and wings or
additions by the successive candidates
for marital bonors. 'xiese large, strag-
Cling, hotel like houses are common in
Salt Lake City and mark difference
between it and town of small houses
like Cheyenne and most other Western
villages. In many cases, however, the
husband sets up bis wives in separate
homes, either side by side or in differ
ent parts of the city. In any case each
has her own kitchen-garden, etc. /
have in mind a wealthy dignitary of
the Church whom you might easily
have mistaken for the late Peter Coop
er and who is possessed of seven wives.
Each of these women has some farm
ing and garden ground of her own and
all are greatly devoted to rearing bees.
With the help of their grown children
they each raise large amount OF pro-
duce and honey annually. The hus-
band acts as their agent. He hives
their swarms of bees and charges them
for it he renders special aid when
called upon and is paid for 1t; he sells
their crops and honey when it is ready
and credits each wife with her due
share. Most of them live in suites of
apartments under the roof Of bis great
house in town, but the first wife has a
Pbeautiful farm of her own little out
of the city, to which she and her chill
dren have retired to end their days in
peaceful independence.
The way in which this old gentle
man has always arranged his domestic
life is reported to be thus He had
certain rooms in his house where he
kept his bed, his wardrobe, his books
and saw any visitors who called upon
him. Here re was batchelor and here
he staid every other day and night.
On alternate days and nights he was
the guest of one or another of his wives
in regular rotations, devoting the one
day lin this case fortnightly) which
was devoted diligently to her society. o.
course this routine was not invariable
but for the most part it was regularly
followed.

The Head Of q Three Year Old Child.

Without doubt the greatest curl
Osity in Williamsport, in the shape of
an unusal head, is at No. 33 Filbert
street.
Eighteen years ago Mr.. George Katz
and Miss Thalka Nash were married in
Williamsport. Their union has resulted
in the birth of eight children, all of
whom are living. The Oldest child, girl,
is IL years old and the youngest, also a
girl, is little over fourteen months
old The seventh child, Annie Kate,
was born March I'd, 1881. This is the
child with the monstrous head. When
the infant was less than month old it
was seized with spells of fits which in
a manner paralyzed part of the body
from which it seemingly never recov-
cred. The child is healthy otherwise.
1t eats, drinks, sleeps, laughs and talks
ns naturally as any of its brothers and
sisters. Although its language is
rather indistinct it makes all its wants
known very readily to every member
of the household. The remarkable
part of the little creature is that in
growth and development the body is
wanting and everything seems to draw
to the head. This part began to de-
velop out of proportion from the child's
early age, until now the head measures
twenty-seven and a half inches around
the forehead and the same the Other
way. The head increased ovel
FIVE inches within year, and is nov
growing as rapidly as ever, while the
other portions of the body, especially
the legs and feet, are not larger thar
those of child less than year old
The disproportion of the head is al
from the eyes up. Her face is trif'
larger than is natural for a child O
that age. Her hair is very ligh
complexion and thin. The deformit,
of body causes it to be perfectly help
less, not being able to sit alone, no
has it the use of its hands aud arms
The mother says the child is very good
natured, not making much trouble il
any way. Some OF the physicians ar
baffied, while others pronounce it a cas-
of dropsy. No one has ever prescrib
ed anything for the arrest of the un
usual growth, that has taken the leas
effect. At the present rate of growt
no one knows what proportions tn
head may assume by the time the chill
is of age, providing it lives.
The father is employed as sawyt
on Brown, Clarke q Howe's mill. I
say the least, the child has been woI
der to all who have seen it. To thos
who have not seen it it will be we
worth while trip to see, as an instanC
Of the kind is equally rare as remarks
BILE. To illustrate out of what propo
tion the head is, it is necessary to sta
that child's head, at that age, ord
narily, measures about Is inches aud
full grown mans head averages
inches but here is three year o
child with head measuring twent
seven inches and growing every day :

use in America went into operation in
Cleveland on Sunday in connection
with the East Cleveland Street Rail
way Company, who have just com
pleted mile road. The experiment
was so successful that the company ex-
pect to change their entire system,
comprising over twenty miles, into
electric roads. The system used was Q
combination of the Brush and Knight
and Bentley systems and the current
was carried on underground conductors
laid in conduits like those of cable
roads. The cars were started and
stopped and reversed with the greatest
ease. Any number of cars up 70 iii

circuit and from one machine, which il

a DARING ROBBERY.
A Jewelry Store on Washington Street
Burglarized in Broad Daylight.

For several weeks Charles R. Wardell has
been running jewelry auction house at No. %
East Washington street He closed the doors of
his store yesterday at noon, and when he re-
turned from dinner, thirty minutes later he
found that eighty watches, together with $50 in
money, had been stolen. 1t was singularly
daring robbery, and was quickly accomplished.
The theory of Mr. Wardell is that the thieves
effected an entrance by going through the coal
hole in the pavement, covered by an iron graf
ing, and from the cellar forced their way into
the store. The police think, however, from the
examination which was made a few moments
after the robbery was reported, that this was
not only improbable, as there was no evidence
of the hole having been opened, but that
it was almost an impossibility. 1t is
believed that the thieves were locked on the in
side when the doors were closed at noon and
that their exit was made. by prying open the rear
door, which could not have been forced open
from the outside because it was securely fas-
tened with heavy iron bars. Mr.. Wardell says
that two men were lettering about the front of
the store when he closed at noon and thinks
that they had some connection with the robbery.
A dozen of the stolen watches, he says, were
gold, and were worth about $25 each, while the
others were plated and were less valuable.

Mr.. James Whitcomb Riley entertained a

with his new lecture the subject of which is
"a Little Attenuated Capability." It has the
merit of originality and freshness, although the
subject and its treatment are not in Mr.. Riley's
usual line. Incidentally however, he introduced
number of his dialect poems and character
sketches, which met with most unbounded favor
Several of these were new, and the address Of
the school superintendent to the children is one
