Mistress of the White House.

The mistress of the White House IS
regarded the leader OF official society.
Miss Cleveland, the Presidents sister,
is probably, the most intellectual and
cultured lady who ever presided at the
Executive Mansion. Gifted with kind
ness Of heart almost rare, even in
women, and as generous and catholic a
nature as can be human, she possesses
thorough classical education, consid-
cradle literary taste, and is highly quail
fed to grace the position she occupies.
1t is known that she does not fill the
station from choice, or through any de-
sire for prominence but for considera
tions of duty to her brother; and while
she gives so much time to satisfy the
demands of ''the people" and lends her
refining influence to every requirement
as mistress of the Presidents house, she
would prefer retirement and devotion to
her literary labors. In person Miss
Cleveland is of medium size, with finely
shaped intellectual head, expressive
gray eyes, light complexion and hair,
though not Of the pronounced blonde
type. She has delicate, shapely hands,
and.a mouth and countenance denotIng
character and kindly grace. She dresses
on all occasions in the most refined
taste. She has won the hearts of the
people of all shades in Washington to a
degree rarely attained by any lady in
her position. The last public reception
of the season March 6, furnished DEM
onstration of her popularity, when 1000
people throDged to the White House,
every one of whom she personally re-
ceived with a pleasant manner and gen.
tie shake Of the hand, challenging the
patience and physical endurance OF
Grant in his most vigorous days. The
very last one Of this vast crowd received
Just rs warm a welcome as did the first.
Usually on such occasions Miss Cleve-
land wears her hair dressed high-a
style very becoming to the contour OF
her head-with a single rosebud nest
ling in the tresses. An incident OF re-
cent occurrence illustrates her charac-
ter. At one of her receptions not long
since stout, ellerly lady, plainly clad,
elbowed her way through the crowd.
and after much effort stood before the
hostess and was introduced. She was
from Indiana, and said: Miss Cleve-
land, I've come a good ways to get here,
and told my husband didn't want to
go back till I'd seen you, for I've heard
and read a great deal about you, and l
wanted to look at your face, and now l
guess Pm well paid for all the scrouging
that it took to get to YOU" Miss Cleve.
land received her as kindly as if the wife
of the first Senator in the land; asked
her where she lived, about her family,
her enjoyment while in the city; all
about her home affairs, and finally as
she let her pass on asked her to sit in
the blue parlor and rest until the recep-
ton was over, when she would be glad
to talk more with her which she did.

The Worlds Boss Monument

| The iron stairway winding around
| the interior framework of the Washing
| ton monument is now nearly compile
ted. When 1t is finished a limited num-
Der of passes will be issued to visitors
who desire to climb to the five.hundred
foot level, provided, however, they sup
ply themselves with lanterns. Not a
ray of light enters the monument ex-
cept through the single door at the
base and the little windows on the roof,
so that a misstep in the darkness might
prove disastrous. Passes will there
fore be issued only to those who are
able to light their own path. All the
provisions made thus far by Congress
have been for constructing the monu-
ment. Now that it is completed ap-
| propriations will have to be made for
making its approaches more slghtly and
convenient. At the same time money
will be needed for lighting it and fur
nishing other facilities for visitors, who
regard it as one of the principal things
to be seen and visited at the Capitol.
81 see it stated" said a reporter to
Colonel Casey recently. ''that the top
of the monument moves morning and
evening on account of the heat of the
sum-"
81 never made such statement, }"
was the reply. ''That is carrying the
thing little too far. do say, how
ever. that the top of the monument
moves with the seasons, that is, In the
summer it swings little to the north
and in the winter to the south. Wnen
YOU consider that the distance Travelled
is not more than three sixteenths OF an
inch. however, 1t can scarcely be called
movement. There is movement In
everything for that matter, and 1t can
be made appreciable only when the
testing instruments are of such dell
cate nature as to be able to measure 1t.
The swinging plumb bobs, now several
hundred feet long, which were uSeu
continually as the monument was In
course of construction, informed US OF
anv movement in the structure. There
was always movement as the weight IN
creased. but it settled evenly. Inc
roof of the monument Is only lew
inches IN thickness and will readily re-
spond to either heat or cold, while the
body of the shaft is so thick that tenn
nerature has little or no effect upon 1t.
1t is not surprising at all that the top
will move slightly by contraction or ex-
pansion, but the movement can De as
tinguished only by the most delicate
measurements. 1t is the same way
with everything around US. Take that
wall over there" pointing to the State'
War and Navy Department building.
"You may find little crack In winter
between a couple of the stones Ihey
have contracted. Look for it again IN
the summer and you can't find it. Inc
stones have expanded and closed 1t up
nicely, unless some dirt collected In tine
crack. and then the mortar or cement
between the stones has been crumbied
by the expansion.

Glucose and Terra Alba.

"Do We use giucose?" said the
largest wholesale confectioner in Indi-
annapolis, repeating the reporters in
quiry. "Of course we do. Every
candy maker in indianapolis uses it,
and the most popular caramels and
other waxy cOnfectiOns made by the
retailers have the most glucose in them.
And why not use it? 1t is as harmless
as honey and serves a most excellent
purpose. Glucose used to be under a
ban and was considered only as an
adulteralt; but now il Is an esteemed
marketable commodity. Glucose is
semi-liquid grape sugar. 1t was first
made from potatoes and Is found in
many fruits, 1t resembles syrup and
Is frequently palmed off as such upon
unhappy boardin house and hotel VIC
tins. "Glucose" is a misnOmer, for
instead of being sweet las implied by
the name) it Is insipid, with a bare sug-
gestion Of sweetness. Children would
not touch it if it were put on the top
shelf out of reach except with a ladder,
so as to be made as suspicious and
tempting as possible.
W nat, lutn, are us meTlISI
"Glucose is not susceptible of crys-
talliZation, and is therefore used in
candy to prevent it from turning to
sugar. Cream of tartar was formerly
used for this purpose, but it tinctureJ
the flavor of the candy and is not so
effective in the purpose intended. Glu-
cose improves the appearance of candy,
hnf n
cannot be used in very great degree
in candy Intended for shipment. The
retail maker, however, can use 1t with
impunity, guarding only against the
danger of multiplying all saccharine
matter. In common candy we use
thirteen pounds of glucose to eighty
seven of sugar. Sugar costs about one
half cent more than French glucose,
and 1(92c. more than cheap American
grades. When glucose could be had
for about one-half the price of sugar, 1t
paid to make candy with more glucose
than sugar; but now the prices are so
close together that there is little saved
by using glucose instead OF sugar.
mo, you are on the wrong track If
you expect to find great swindle in
the use of glucose. Chemists say 1t is
as harmless as sugar; and the Ameri-
can people, you know, don't call any,
thing an adulterant that costs as much
or more than the genuine article. But
l can tell you what Is used to adulterate
candy and score of other things
terra alba-white earth. Down in
Cincinnati the candy makers shovel
terra alba into their syrups in great
quantities, but this market has better
reputation, and think terra alba is
not used by the confectioners Of this
city at all"

heard Of it, but if you have you can
laugh Just as if you have never heari it
before. Laughter. Bishop James told
the story, SO it has a good Apostolic
start, although he told 1t of another
Bishop.
The two were riding together in the
West, and among other things facility
In preaching from the text off-hand was
a subject conversation, and they finally
agreed to try each other; and SO as the
young man was to preach first, the
BIshep would not give him the text
until after the preliminary services were
all over, then he gave him the text:
"And the ass opened his mouth.
Laughter The young man looked at
1t moment, and proceeded to say that
all things were made to praise God
even the lowest and the least; the birds
and the worms and shes and animals,
and even the hum ble3t of the creatures
of God; all were made use OF in the
scheme of 4 Divine Providence. So it
was among men; the lowest and the
poorest had something that God had
enabled HIM to do-and the young man
made a very nice sermon of it, and got
off by the skin of his teeth Laughter.
The next appointment the BiSnOp was
to try the ordeal, and he tried to get
from the young man some inkling of
what he was going to give him. Not
word. But when he came to the pulpit
and the preliminary services were over,
the young man give the text. Am l

Bishop looked at it and didn't say any
thing to him, Laughter, my breth-

text: Am l not thine ass?' We see, my
brethren-we see-'am not thine asS?'
Laughter. Brethren-'am | not thine
ass?' and, turning to his young help

you give me this toaS. on the very eve
of this evening, and then Invert the
ordeal and put me before Brother New

up and set me agoing, feel as if was
