She Smiled Do,c,. the Steps.

Under the rules adopted for the care
and protection of the White House
grounds, no photographers are allowed
to set up their machines within the
gates, and the cameras of several anna
teurs and professionals have been con-
fscated for violation of the regulation.
y 1t is the single hope and
ambition of these photographing en-
thusiasts to catch the counterfeit pre-
sentiment Of the President and Mrs.
Cleveland, particularly Of the fair mis-
tress of the mansion. Various unsuc-
cessful attempts have been made to
photograph Mrs. Cleveland. A fellow
who waited at the door of the White
House the other day for this purpose
thus describes his experience: "My
camera was tucked under my left arm
and my foreinger rested on the little
spring that makes the exposure. AS
the door swung back I heard lady's
step and began to feel just trifle
ratified squeezed the box tightly
and stepped toward the door with my
camera pointed right at Mrs. Cleveland
as she came out. She did not pass on,
but looked me right in the face with a
queer, cool little smile that upset me
completely. Ny camera suddenly got
as big as barn, and taking off my hat
I bowed and went down the steps two
at time, without thinking to push the
the spring. I wouldn't try that again
for a thousand dollars - Albany

SHOEING HORNEH.

An investigation made by board of
United States Army officers for the pur-
pose of deciding upon the best meth
DDS of shooting army horses has resulted
in the issuing from the army headquar-
tiers of the following order, which all
horse.aa should read, as it contains
points worth knowing:
In preparing the horses feet for the
shoe, do not touch with the knife the
frog, sole. or bars. In removing surplus
growth Of that part of the foot which is
the "seat of the shoe," use the cutting
pinchers and rasp, and not the knife.
The shoeing knife may be used, if nee
essary, in fitting the toe clip. "Open-
ing the heels" or making cut into the
angle Of the wall at the heel must not
be allowed. The rasp may be used on
this part Of the foot when necessary,
and the same applies to the pegs. No
cutting with knife is permitted; the
rasp alone when necessary. "Flat-
footed horses should be treated as the
necessity Of each case may require. In
forging the shoe to fit the foot, be care
full that the shoe is fitted to and follows
the circumference of the foot clear
round to the heels; the heels of the shoe
should not be extended back straight
and outside of the wall of the heels of
the horses foot, as is frequently done.
Care must be used that the shoe is not
fitted too small, the outside surface of
the walls being then rasped down to make
the foot short to suit the shoe, as often
happens. Heat may be used in prepar-
ing and shaping the shoe, but the hot
shoe must not be applied to the horses
foot under any circumstances. Make
the upper or foot surface of the shoe
perfectly fiat, SO as to give level bear
ing. A shoe with a concave ground sur
face should be used.

Women Ia Var and po,.,,e.

History is full of the dangers that at
tend 4. the Interference of royal wives in
thelr husbands politics. Reienine
Queens have been successful enough.

Catharine of Russia, and our present
Queen have shown that they can select

the politics of their husbands cabinets.
nave done great deal of harm. Hen
r1etta Maria exercised an unfortunate
influence at the Court of Charles I.
Marie Antoinette made her husband
additionally unpopular. The last King
OF Naples was married to a high-spirited
bavarian Princess, who encouraged his
resistance to constitutional demands.
In 1879 the Empress Eugene declared
to her intimate friends, Remember,
this is my war;" and it is likely enough
that the Emperor, ill, weak, and hardly
able to mount horse, would have de-
ferred the struggle had not his impetu-
Gus and spirited consort urged him on.
1t is sometimes said that the influence
OF women on the politics of the world
would put an end to war; but while they
remain non-combatants we greatly doubt
it. They are able to realize some Of
the results of war-the empty chairs,
the desolated homes, the widowed lives !;
but they never see its coarser conse-
quences. They never witness battle
field after the fight is won-the
wounded, the dying, the anguish of unat-
tended men, the fearful spectacle Of hui
man life trampled in the mire, and all
the grim and disgusting incidents of the
shambles of war, from the bloodshed of
the day of victory to the spectacle later
on of unburied bodies moldering in the
sun. They read novels and poems that
throw halo around it all; they listen
to the music of the triumphal entry;
they watch the waving plumes and the
Haunting banners, and they invest with
interest every man in the victorious
array. 1t is in this spirit of unreason-
ing enthusiasm that beautiful women on
thrones send brave men out to slay and
be slain-stinging with their taunts the
Princes who hesitate, and rewarding
with their smiles the rash Kings who
stake their crowns on the issue of day.
Queen Natalie, of Servia, is only the
last of long list of illustrious ladies
who have burnt their fingers playing
with the fires of politics and war;

Blondes.

DIR. Beddoe is responsible for state
ment which is at once novel and sur
prising. He declares that the chances
Of dark women obtaining husbands are
to those of fair women in the proportion
of three to two; and that this conclusion
is proved by statistics. Certainly this
is in opposition to the general idea upon
the subject. For every dark heroine Of
q novel there are twenty fair ones ;
while, although few poets may have
sung the praises of dark beauties, those
who have celebrated the charms of fair
ones are vastly more numerous. Among
the lower classes of English, indeed,
there is general prejudice against dark
haired women, it being fixed idea that
they possess infinitely worse tempers
than fair women. We're DR.. Beddoe's
theory correct that three brunettes marry
to every two blondes, it would certainly
be found that almost every unmarried
lady past the age Of thirty belong to the
latter category, which is certainly not
the case. At the same time the fact
that the hair of the people of this island
is becoming distinctly darker than 1t
was is one that cannot be denied. Per-
sons who can look back half century
will be ready to admit the change i'll
this respect. For every red-haired per-
son n ho seen now. ten would have
been met with fifty years back; ana II
the change continues at the same la'e,
in another half century red-halred
people will have become so uncommon
that red -haired lady will DC one OF tiie
most attractive figures in country
show. From what cause this arises we
are unable to say; but cannot think tl'a'

Of every five prefer dark women TO 1alf

AsToR's ExPENslVE YACHT.

ASTOk'S EAEENSlVE x-AChxs
Within a stones throw Of South
Brooklyn pier recently were fifteen
yachts, sloops, and schooners, little and
big. They represented $1,000 of
capital. The highest priced was Mr..
Astor's big 273 feet long steam yacht
Nourmahal, which lay looming up Like
an ocean steamer. The Nourmahal cost
$500, 900, and Mr.. William Aston, her
owner, uses her for about three months
in the wear; the other nine months she
lies idle. The expense of running this
leviathan toy is $4,000 per month. By
the necessary expense is meant the cost
of fuel and the wages and keep of her
crew. What Mr.. Aston spends in en-
tertainments, ETC., on board, Of course,
nobody knows but himself. The ex-
pense, therefore, of keeping the Nour-
mahal for year, outside of her owners
personal expenditures, is: Interest on
money invested, $4,000; expenses for
time she is in commission, $4,000; re-
pairs, etc., each spring, about $1,000;
total $4,000. From these figures it
would be easy to estimate how much
the Yacht would cost to keep should she
be in commission the yearround. About
100000 year would just about cover
+ Even Mr.. Astor, with all his wealth,
could scarcely afford this, and SO the
Nonrnahal lies idle most Of the time.

HER EYESHwERR OPENED.
The Wonderful Answer to an Aged Blind
WOmaM's Prayer.

WomaM's Prayer.
scuderton, 111zzint little village in
Montgomery county. Pa, is considerably
excited over the curious experience Of
Mrs. Benjamin Meyer, lady " years of
age. For five years Mrs. Meyer has been
totally blind. On Saturday, November 10,
after four days Of confinement in bed, she
opened her eyes and suddenly exclaimed:
''Mein Colt in himmel, 1 see."
Her husband, whose age is 70, rushed to
her and was Immediately recognized. The
whole household fastened to the woman's
bedside and beheld veritication of her
statement. She saw the. dishes through
the glass case Of q cupboard which stood
at the end of the bed, and pointing in the
direction of an old arm chair, said:
ooh, see, there is my old arm chair and
its head rest with flowers painted on it.
There is the picture of the German village
scene with its laughing maidens and
lovers"
Mrs. Meyer then asked to see her chill
dren and grandchildren, twenty-five in
number, and, calling them by name to her
bedside, described infinitely the articles
and dresses they wore. She then told
them that she had prayed last summer as
her last Wish on earth to see her children
and grandchildren once more, and that she
believed this was the fulillment Of her
prayer.
On Sunday the people of the neighbor-
hood swarmed to Mrs. Meyers house, and
they were soon convinced Of the truth of
the miracle. Before the day had closed,
however, she exclaimed:
This is the last Sunday that I shall
evershave the use of my eyesight."
When the old lady awakened on Mon
day morning she found that her sense of
vision was again gone.
Mrs Meyer and her husband live in q
quaint old farm house, built about eighty
years ago, situated on the Scuderton turn
pike. They have lived together in the old
structure nearly fifty years. Mrs. Meyer
is perfectly contented since she was provi-
dentially granted the privilege of seeing
her children and grandchildren before she
