The white House History.

Washington Letter in Cleveland Leader.
The White House covers about one.third OF
an acre, and it has cost, up. to the present time,
abont 40 0O0. OOO. 1t is modelled after castle
in Dublin. and the architect, who was South
Carolina man named Hoban, got $500 for draw
ing the plans When it was first, built, away
hack in the nneties, it cost 100000, but the
British burned out its insides, and its cost has
since added to that sum about 81, 700, 600. In it
all Of the Presidents since Washington have
lived. and each has added to its beauties and its
expenses. / think it was John Quincy Adams
who bought the first billiard table which was
used in 1t But in John Adamss time it was on
ly half furnished, and Abigail Adams used to
dry her clothes in the big East room. Year by
year, however. the furnishing has gone on, until
now it is a sort of a museum of art and beauty.

BONAPARTE's FAvORITE SISTER.
How She Decorated Her Pretty Feet Every
Morning.

Celia hogan. III New York World
am reminded of curious story Nine. pat
terson) Bonaparte once told me. She said: while
Napoleon 1 would never publicly acknowledge
me as the wife of his brother Jerome, he did so
privately by allowing me to be on terms of init
macy with the members of his family, who,
without an exception, received me as if / were
one Of themselves. One day l called on Caro-
line, Bonaparte's favorite sister and the greatest
beauty of her day. She had just emerged from
her bath, and was lying on lounge in her bed
room. The scantiness of her clothing revealed
to me one of the most perfect forms that heaven
ever bestowed upon woman. In particular her
feet were of the most exquisite shape and color
the soles and undersides of the toes being the
tint of tea-rose, the upper portions rivaling
the lily in whiteness. Noticing my steadfast
gaze Caroline smiled and sand:
SIS not the blended color, divine?'
l admitted that l had never seen anything
more lovely.
Il have it done every morning after my bath. y
"Haye it done!' exclaimed "What do you
mean by having it done?"
why, after the manicure has attended to my
hands the chiropodist polishes by toenails, and
pinks and pearls my feet"

Window Rents in Washington.
Washington Special.

WHEHIHBIOH SptCIHI
An dea.of the public desire to witness the pa
rade on Inauguration day is shown in the extra
ordinary prices asked and contracted to be given
for windows on Pennsylvania avenue. In not "a
few instances as much as $50 has been obtained
for window which will not accommodate moro
than four persons and it seems that no sum less
than $40 is asked for window, however small
Some of the owners of buildings on Pennsylvania
avenue actually gave notice to leave to tenants
in the upper stories expecting to realize more
from the rent of the windows for the single day
of Inauguration than from several months regu-
lar occupancy. The public stands on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. it is estimated will accommodate
at least 1000 persons, for all of whom seats are
required to be provided at an expense not exceed
ing 81 each. Many however, prefer to pay the
exorbitant window rates rather than trust to the
weather probabilities.

The Parrot and the Monkey story.

Longmans Magazine.
A well-worn American anecdote describes the
result Of owning both parrot and monkey.
When the owner of the bird and beast comes
home one day he finds the monkey decked with
red and green feathers, but he does not find the
parrot for long white At last the bird appears
from an obscure corner plucked bare save
single tail feather; he hops upon his perch with
such dignity as he can muster and says, with
infinite rathos "Oh, we have had hell of a
tirnei" At first nothing could seem more Amer
lean than this, but my friend Mr. Austin Dsbson

A Canal Through tile Malay Peninsula.


Although the latest reports from the French
engineers employed on the survey have demon
strated the impracticability of the proposed
canal through the Krah isthmus, the French are
still very keen the question of piercing the
Malay peninsula. The same engineers who were
constrained to report unfavorably on the Krah
scheme now declare that they have surveyed a
feasible route less than fifty miles south Of that
originally proposed
sThe route now suggested seems to be from
Bangri. Oh the west coast, to Phanom, near the
eastern, but considerable reticence is observed
as to the details. NJ de Lesseps has, however,
expressed his belief in the feasibility of the
scheme.
Although these projects are in a part of lower
Siam which is not under British influence, it is
difficult to see how the money can be provided
for the undertaking unless the government of
India gives it its sanction.

New YORK, July 25.-BrddStreet'S
Journal in its commercial summary
says: There is some encouragement
in the general feeling in commercial
circles reported in special telegram,
to BrGdstreet's this week. This is
found mainly in dry goods. The dis
play of autumn samples at Boston is
large and attractive, and dealers there
claim that sales have been rather bet
ter than they had reason to expect.
The disposition of autumn prints has
been nOticeably free, but it remains
to be added that liberal discounts have
been necessary in order 10 stimulate
purchasers. At Philadelphia as well
as Boston the feeling in dry goods
circles has materially improved,
though no cause there has been cited.
This situation brings to mind like
one early in the current year, when
steady Improvement in the spring
trade was freely predicted. There
was some activity shown, of course,
as there doubtless will be this au-
tumn, but it was not followed by
evidences of an enlarged demand.
The movement of general merchan-
disc is of moderate proportions, the
prolonged season or extreme heat
serving to check business. At the
West the beginning of harvesting OPP
eratiOne tends to check operations
of country buyers, particularly in
those districts where the wheat crop
prospects are not favorable, No inn
prOvement is reported in carrying
rates by rail, lake or canal, the low
est terms recorded having been made
within a week, without stimulating
the movement of produce or mer-
chandiSe,
At Chicago a "better feeling in
iron" is reported, which is noticeable
FROM its isolation. The surplus bank
funds there give no signs Of return
ing business, nor do they at Eastern
money centers.
Grocery staples move slowly, with
lower prices on sugar and tea. Dairy
products are dull and in buyers favor.

because they had had no rain at home
for some time. Two good meetings
were held during the day which adj
ded greatly to make the occasion a
very joyful one.
