THE WHITE.

An improved hig arm Sewing Machine.
The advantage of high arm, admitting
the passage under il Of bulky garments
without mussing or soiling the contracting
by them, is too we'll known to require des.
cription.
1t will last life time and its range of
work exceeds that of any other machine.
WARRANTED FOR FIVE YEARS
Among the many advantages OF the
White machine are its needle, self.setting in
every sense ofthe word-always right.
II has the least complicated. the most
simple, durable and complete shuttle ever
made, simplicity in threading being an es-
pecial feature The shuttle tension is so
arranged that You can increase il or de-
crease il without removing the shuttle from
the machine or disarranging the work.
All wearing parts of the White are made
adjustable, So that any lost motion incident
TO long usage can be easily taken up, thus
avoiding the delay and expense in duplica.
ting parts. The simplicity in threading the
White Is unequaled by any other machine.
and We would particularly call attention
TO the fact in either the upper or lower
thread, there is no hole 10 thread through
excepting the eye Of the needle.
For Family Use, Dress Making. Tailor
ing, the White is without peer.

Messrs. Editors Since the depar-
tm:e Of the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land upon their Adirondack trip the
White House has been thoroughly
renovated, and the exterior of the
building treated to fresh coat Of
paint. The decorations in the East
Room have been completed. and every
thing is in readiness for putting down
the carpets and arranging the furni-
tnre. The private apartments through
out the mansion have been recarpeted,
and in many instances refurnished.
Everything about the premises has
been frightened up. and the building
will soon be ready for occupancy.
The recent earthquakes in South
Carolina continue to afford the prin-

dence of sympathy felt by the good
people of the National Capital for
their afflicted neighbors in Charleston

OF words. Not only has the rule pro-

themselves with subscription papers

The Corcoran Art Gallery which has
been closed to the public during the
summer has been reopened, and is
more attractive than ever. A marked
Improvement has been made in the
hall of sculpture by the removal of
the drapery which formerly shrouded
the walls. and substitution of a rich
maroon tint of paint. Several pictures
are being negotiated for by the trus-
tees, and the probabilities are that the
gallery will be enriched by the ad-
dition of some very valuable paint
ings during the winter.

SALEM cuPBoARDs.
The Pride of the Genuine, Old-Tlme Now
England Housekeeper.

The Pride of the Genuine, Old-Tlme Now
England Housekeeper.
There were cupboards in Salem.
Whether they are there still, or have
been built up, or pulled down, or swept
away, in the march Of modern improve
ment, / know not, but in my childhood
there were cupboards in Salem.
They were, moreover, real cupboards,
no after-thoughts, built across the end
of an entry here, or corner Of room
there-places into which to huddle UNI
brellas and overcoats, or to hustle
mending and children's litter out of the
sight Of visitors. Salem cupboards
were always intentional. The builder
understood his responsibility, and acted
accordingly. The housewife regarded
her cupboards as the inner and most
sacred portion Of her trust 1t was no
light task even to keep the keys always
counted and polished. AS for losing
one, or forgetting which was which,
that would indicate mind so utterly
frivolous that one could hardly con-
ceive of it.
The genuine, old-time Salem house
keeper realized that there was con-
science in her work. She took her cup
boards seriously. To her there was
nothing trivial about them. To do her
duty by her cupboards was one of the
most inviolable principles of her sober
and decorous life.
1t took no ordinary brain to keep
watch and ward over these cupboards.
They were many in number. They
were confusing as to size and shape.
They possessed the charm Of the unex-
pected. One never knew quite when
or where one should chance upon them
They were tall and narrow beside the
fireplace, or low and chubby above it
they lurked behind the wainscotting
like Polonius back Of the arras. On,
of them was to be reached only by ;
step-ladder; another jolly pair occupied
crannies under two deep window-seats
In one house was cupboard which
pretended to be solid wall, but waI
really a deep recess for the conceal
ment of firearms; and in yet another
was marrow closet about which hung
the horror of an old Ginevra-like legenC
of smothering to death.
There was literally no end to the
number and variety of Salem cup
boards. They possessed charm quit
their own, and this charm was felt tt
the utmost by the children, who wer'
only occasionally allowed to view th'
treasures kept under strict lock anC
key by the high priestesses of thes'
sacred hooks and shrines. .-EleGno

ted Digby, in the nope OF prohting BY
Fanny's disgrace, and stigmatizes my
account of the telegram as mystifca-
ton, if not something worse. called
upon Bob Collier to corroborate my
statement, but with the worst success.
Such a witness only served to damage
my case. My uncle has always de-
tested him, and promptly saluted him
as conspirator number three.
This is the conclusion of my story
q most unsatisfactory one, so far as !
am concerned. They say that all vex-
ations and calamities carry with them
some counterbalancing good, in the
shape of wisdom and experience. 1
don't know that my late disagreeable
adventure has brought me any such
gain, unless it be a deepened impress
sion of the value and beauty Of brevity

ances address me as Frederick Au-

iNcEssANT ACTION.
The Dangers to Which Nervous and ''Hur'
ried" People Are Subject.

The Dangers to Which Nervous and ''Hur-
ried" People Are Subject.
Some men are in incessant action,
early and late and all through the day.
They have no time for family friends.
As for holidays, the less for them the
better. They have inherited nervous
temperament, and are doing just the
wrong thing with it-allowing it to
hurry them to an untimely end. They
wear themselves out. Their brain is
ever in state of morbid activity al
most like that of an insane man.
To all such we say; Early learn to
use restraint, or, in spite of all later
volitions, your momentum will steadily
increase, and sooner or later there will
be breakdown. The more nervous
the temperament, the greater the need
of outstanding the nervous energy by
intelligent self-control, by appropriate
diversions and by frequent seasons Of
absolute rest. The machinery may be
of iron, but it needs to come to stand
still at times.
Many persons, not of nervous tenn
permanent, specially hurry at their
meals, They have vigorous appetites,
and they eat voraciously. Now, swine
can do this safely, but they have Wig
orous digestion, and have nothing to
do but to digest what they eat. It i1
otherwise with human beings. That
kind monitor enough" is seldom
heard in season by those who eat in a
hurry. Rapid eating is generally ex-
cessive eating, with, in due time, dys-
pepsia, "bilious attacks" liver COM
plants and gout. Besides, not only
health, but the good Of all concerned
demands that the mealtime should be
one of restful leisure, pleasant inter
change of thought, and social cheer.
Many persons hurry to catch the de-
parting ferryboat or cars. They barely
get aboard by hard running-or perhaps
just fail. Such acts may start hear
trouble, or increase one already started
or precipitate it to a fatal termination
The London Lancet, giving an account
of two recent deaths from hurry and
exerhon, one young man Of twenty,
the other girl Of sixteen, adds: "HoW
often has the hurry to catch train, ol
some other sudden exertion, throwing
extra work on a dilated, fatty or other
wise diseased heart, resulted in fata
syncopeP Remember, people Otter
have heart troubles without knowing
it, Youtks CompGniOn.

THE LITTLE CHAPLAIN.

Earl Richard, one of Britain's peers,
Is lord of many a mile
OF thrifty English soil, and lives
In proud barOnial style.
He has his castle, famed in song,
His park and gardens fair:
And every Sunday in his hall
His chaplain kneels in prayer.
No Earl am l; have no lands;
A man of low degree,
No liVeried servants doff the hat
And bend the knee to me.
And yet, though boasting no estates,
And though my purse is light,
have my chaplain, too, and he
Prays for me every night.
He is little fair.haired boy
That scarce five years hath seen,
With dimpled cheek and melting eye,
Fond voice and winsome mlen.
And when be dons his robe of white,
Ere lying down to sleep,
He folds his sinless hands and praya
The Lord my soul to keep.
Ny little chaplainl None but God
Knows how love the boy.
Each DAY that dawns each night that falls
He foods my heart with JOY.
Oh! have been better man
Since he to me was given;
His simple trust and guileess ways
Have drawn me nearer Heaven.
Charles FOiten Lee, in Wide At0ahe.
