The White House.
From the west balcony OF the Capitol, lookir
down Pennsylvania avenue, the Whit

From the west balcony OF the Capitol looking
down Pennsylvania avenue, the White
House Is seen rearing its snowy-hued walls
above the dense mass of foliage that EN-
up amid It's enfolding green blades. Were
II not for the partly intervening Treasury
building the view of the White House from
the Capitol would be full and complete. The
White House Is the center of uptown" as
the Capitol is the center of Down town."
1t is beautifully located, the view from the
south windows covering the whole southern
front fthe city, as the view from the north
up Sixteenth street west exhibits the best
part of the Northwest section to the gaze.
The White House Is copy of the palace of
the Duke OF Lenster at Dublin, with the
addition of large porch on the north front,
which was added during Andrew Jackson's
administration. The reservation In which
It stands embraces nearly 81 acres. The
main entrance is on the north, reached by
the Pennsylvania avenue cars. IL Is two
stories high on the north, is built of white
free.stone, 40 feet long by Sc wide. II con-
Red, Blue and East rooms, the State Dining
Room and the great eonservatories. The
Blue Room Is the Presidents official recep-
tion room and the drawing-room of the ladies
of his family. The East Room, originally
designed for banquet hall and so used as
late as 1887, and In the latter part Of the
century used as a drying-room for clothes
by Mrs. President Adams, Is the largest and
most noted room In the building. 1t Is 22
open to visitors every day except Sundays.
Upstairs are the Cabinet room, the private
offices, the Presidents office, the library
and the family apartments, All these
rooms except the latter are open to visitors,
by special permission, at suitable hours.

are being organized, Mississippi is, In
fact, beginning TO pay great attention TO
her live stock interests, aud especially 10
the raising of thoroughbred cattle. The
development OF the creamery business
will still further stimulate the live stock

a wise course In the improvement of Its

attention to live stock. While Mis-
