ON THE wHITE-HoUse GROUNDS.
An Old Custom at the National Capital
An Annual Lesson.

An Annual Lesson.
There are just two days in the year
when one may see true Democracy at
the White House. One is on New Years
Day, when the people of all classes, col.
ors and conditions shake Lands with the
president, and for an hour or two take
possession of the state parlors with an
air of ownership that makes them the
proprietors, for the time, of the execu-
tive mansion. The other day is Easter
Monday, when the children own the
White House grounds for the entire day.
1t is very old custom at the national
capital, and very pretty picture. But
its social phases have given the picture
character and interest beyond the mere
fun of rolling colored eggs. "Befo' the
wah" the children were all white, and
pretty nearly all of the same class. The
change has been somewhat graded.
Now the supreme equality on Easter
Monday takes in the blacklist, the dirti-
est, the raggedest urchin of the back
street or alley. Egg rolling is curious
leveller, or, perhaps, powerful elevator is
the better expression. 1t lifts this same
urchin up TO the condition Of self-respect,
and he feels himself to be "just as good
as anybody else." Indeed, he forgets
that he is black, dirty, or ragged. and
that his front yard for the other 1854 days
is the alley. So they troop in by the
hundreds to the White House grounds,
all classes, conditions, and colors.
They are of all ages, from babies
in carts, pushed by nurses, on up through
the years like steps, with big boys and
girls at the top.
They have no use for the policeman
who warns them to keep off the grass
every other day in the year, and they re-
gard that guardian of the law with lofty
indifference. The grass belongs to them
on Easter Monday. They revel in the
right to run and jump, kick up their
heels, pelt and pound it, and SOW it with
egg shells before his face and eyes. He
dare not demonstrate, and they enjoy his
helplessness. The next day is great
cleaning up day by the gardeners, who
60 about patiently, and, Of course, un-
complainingly, to rake and sweep up the
debris of eggs, paper, and wrecked
luncheons.
Custom has made it the fashion for
parents, friends and visitors to go as
lookers-on, and the president, whoever
he may be, spends much of the time on
Easter Monday looking out of the win
dow, and smiles over the games of "rinp
round rosy" and "snap the whip" Easter
Monday at the white house grounds is an
educator. The children of the rich learn
what is not to be found in their books.
1t is an annual lesson of possibility to the
ragamuffin, who there sees how small the
world is, after all, and that even he may
have his share if he chooses to become
worthy of it.-Washington Cor. New
York Sun.

Studies Of the Human Ear.

The best place to study the ear is in O
street car, There is the chance to OBJ
serve in almost one sweep of the eye un-
calmly ears, musical and unmusical ears,
and graceful curves and symmetrical
proportions in ears. As a rule, musi-
clans, having intelligent minds and re-
fined natures, will have the most per-
fectly formed ears. Hence the ear has a
three-fold meaning: 1t is useful organ,
an object of beauty, and sign of char
acter. Men and women of very strong
and active passions are apt to have ears
in full blossom the year Troublesome
thing like an old toper's nose. In judg-
ing character from the color of the ear,
however, due allowance must be made
for the natural complexion of the per-
son. If the hair is red or auburn and the
face fiorid, why the ear will naturally be
of the same color. A little observation
and critical discrimination will enable
any one to distinguish between ears of
healthy color and those made red by
the indulgence and excitements Of
the appetites and passions. Allow
ance must also be made for
very sensitive and blushing people, be-
cause some blush in their ears, as well as
in their faces, and if you were to Judge
of them by the color of their ears at that
moment, you would do them an in Justice.
1t is the general color you must be guided
by, and it must always be remembered
that the ears Of some persons have too
much color and others too little. Very
large ears may indicate large-hearted,
generous nature or proclaim human
donkey.
Small ears, as rule, belong to people
of feeble minds mot idiotic), foolish or
small and mean in nature, as well as in
mental powers. But in judging from
the ear, the face and head should be
taken into consideration with it, and
especially should the shape, thickness
and color of the ear be considered in con-
nection with its size. One thing ia GER
tain, and that is, the well rounded ear is
associated with love for music, and the
more finely formed the ear, the more re-
fined the nature of the person, and con-
sequently, the more artistical its musical
taste, sense and perception.-Baltimore

Very Much Related to Royalty.

The duko of Braganza, heir to the
Portuguese crown, is related to an un-
usual number of royal families. He is
nephew of King Humbert of Italy, and
also of the Princess Clotilde, and there
fore cousin of Prince Victor Napoleon.
His grandmother, Maria da Gloria, was
niece of the second wife of Napoleon
Bonaparte. His grandfather, Dom Fer
nando, was cousin of Queen Victoria;
and thus the young man may claim re-
lationship to the royal families of Eng
land and Belgium, and all the connec-
tions of the prolific Saxe-Coburg- -Gotha
tribe. He is, moreover, granddaughter Of
Dom Pedro of Brazil, and thus related to
the Neapolitan Bourbons. And now he
is about to marry into the Orleans family.

M. Pa.teur and tn. Wolf Rabies.

A Paris correspondent of The New
York Tribune, speaking of the wolf-bit-
ten Russian who have died there, says:
M. Pasteur was at sitting of the coun-
Gil of health reading paper ON his inoc-
ulations when the news of Goleweski's
death was brought him. He was so
greatly concerned that some of his col
leagues feared that he might have an
other paralytic attack. He at once ad-
mitted that he had not yet learned how
to time wolf rabies. But he did not
like the fact that the red-hot irons had
not been used in cauterizing the gland
ular regions into which the VOLTS fangs
had penetrated. ."---Exchange.

Curious Way to Aid the Memory.


Judge Ranney, of Massachusetts,, who
has been conducting the Panel-ectric in
vestigation, has jumped into national
prominence. He is known in Boston as
one of the most noted lawyers in New
England. A friend of his tells me that
he can make 800, 600 year at his prac-
tice, and that he is inspired with the
genius of the law. He has wonderful
faculty of carrying all the points of a
case in his head. You may mix up a
mass of testimony into hodge
podge made up of irrelevancies, and pour
it into Ranney's brain. As soon as it
gets there it becomes filtered. The
refuse and irrelevant things vanish, and
order comes out of the chaos. Each fact
seems to drop into its proper class, and
out of nothing comes an analytic
whole. Judge Ranney has a cur
ious way of aiding his memory.
When he is looking up case
and reading the papers in it he notices
nothing going on around him, and when
he comes to point which he wants to
remember, he writes it down on a piece
of paper. He does not keep the paper or
pay any attention to it. The writing Of
it down fixes it as indelibly in his mind
as though he had stenciled it upon his
brain. After he has been reading
through the different parts of the house
you may find his footprints in the notes
of memoranda on the members desks
at which he has been sitting. He makes
notes any place and always leaves them
just where he makes them.-"Carp" in

Birds Actually Killed by Harshness.

The Boston Journal says: 1T is well
known that birds are very sensitive to
tones of the voice, and are terrified at
any loud, angry words. A lady who
wished to make bobolink stop singing
at last scolded it in loud voice, and
then took up scarf and shook it in re-
buke at the Gagged bird. In a moment
the bird was still, and short time after
made fluttering about the stage. Its
owner turned to the bird and was shocked
to see it fall dead. Unkind wor,ls had
killed it," We know of two cases simi-
lar TO this. In one case canary bird
and in the other a mocking bird, died
within five minutes after being spoken
TO in violent, angry tone.-Our Dumb
Animals.

A THOUSAND DOLLAR MOTH,
ny No Means striking In Appearance
The Only One Ever Found.

ny No Means striking In Appearance
The Only One Ever Found.
1t is by no means the most beautiful
or striking in color, for it is painted, as
you may say, in a single color of grayish
brown, though in many, many tints of
that color. Its form is the more wonder
ful, for its secondary or hinder wings
reach back into long tails an eighth of
an inch wide and over four inches long,
90 that the insect measures about seven
inches from head to tip Of tails, and be-
tween four and five inches across. 1t is
of the general shape of what is known
as our luna moth, the large, greenish
white-tailed moth; but in the luna the
tails are only two inches long. do not
think any other moth or butterfly has so
great eccentricity of form. But the
most wonderful thing Of all is that it is
the only insect of the kind ever found.
Thirteen years ago son of Professor
Meyer caught it in barber shop in Rio
Janeiro, into which it had flown during
the evening. He sent it to his father,
who had been a collector for many years.
When the box containing it was opened,
and the great entomologist dropped his
eyes upon it, he almost tainted with de-
light, and at once was offered 800
for ID.
/ The news of the discovery of it spread
rapidly everywhere among collectors,
and dilligent search has been made ever
since to find ano her of its kind, but in
vain. 1t stands alone, perhaps the last
Of aiY almost extinct species, but surely
the only one that rests in air on entomol-
ogist's pin. This fact that it defies dupli-
cation, together with its kingly form, will
help to remove the shudder that passes
over you as you hear its name, Jehovah,
for by this name the princely insect is
known among scientists-Endamonia Je-
hovah. 1t should be stated, however,
that its happy owner did not intend CIV
ing it this name, but somehow the real
name, Jupiter, was changed into Jehovah
when it was being catalogued, and so it
has remained.
It is hard to place value upon this
precious insect, for DIR. Meyer values ii
almost as his own life; but have been
told $1,000 would not induce him to part
with it. We can believe this when we
are told that kind of beetle found in
the west was sold, for several years at
800 a specimen. Professor Meyers en-
tire collection is valued at $40, 000.-Con-

Descended from the Lost Tribes.

There is hardly race in Asia, Europe,
or America that has not at some time
been proved to be descended from the
lost Israelites. Chief among these are
the Chinese, the Mongol Tartars, the
Japanese, the Cossacks, the Gypsies, and
the American Indians. Even the Saxons,
through whom bluff John Bull and Puri-
tan New England got into the world,
have had, and still have, their supporters
as to this mysterious claim. A library
of learned tones has been written on
this single question.-Youth's Compan.

THE NATURE OF LOVE.
Love Is a fire i'm air.

Love Is fire in air,
Love is u rose In Spring,
Love is crystal sphere,
A melody, mirroring,
Love is blossom, love flower,
Love is the cleaning of a shower
OF dewdrops from an orange bower.
Love is a golden star,
A fragrance of the night,
"A rainbow in the air,
A cloud, lost delight;
Love, I is the sense of Heaven near,
The memory of Heaven gone,
The last leaf of the lingering year,
The faint smell of the dawn.
