How to Visit the White House.

When the visitor goes to the White House, which he ought to do if he wants to see the President, at o'clock in the afternoon, he goes into the East Room, may be permitted, if the messengers in charge are at liberty to grant the permis- sion in midday, to see the Green, Blue and Red Parlors and perhaps the conser- vatory, but not to go up stairs. If it is on Wednesday or Friday the President will appear at about 1 to 1.30 o'clock, and, standing in the door leading to the inner corridor, will shake the hands of the waiting crowd as they are passed rapidly by him. Then he will be turned out by side door and be expected to go his way. There are no tips to be given at the White House or elsewhere. The custom has not become established here. For some years it fourished in tho Bu- reau of Engraving and Printing, but it has been nipped there. A visitor who must be economical can find comforta- ble room and bearable board for a week fo $2 day and see all the sights that he can reach in day at an expense not necessarily exceeding 50 cents a day more. This is all very primary and
 "chestnutty'' information to the person we'll acquainted with Washington, but it may be useful to the stranger.

A HOmily on Inventions.

Maxim is reported to have devised a gun that will fire 100 shots minute in any direction. The wisdom of such Maxims stands until the enemy ha; tho same guns, and then there is no advan- tage, ore over the other. The art of warfare has made great progress. Krupp will make guns for all nations. France meets Germany with the samc weapons in hand, and there is only a question of dicipline and courage to be tested. The two forces might as we'll be armed with Zulu spears or aboriginal clubs. Things would be equal and the survival would be of the fttest. A great and powerful nation supplied with the latest improved arms can go out and kill povcrty stricken and unarmed nations to great advantages; but when Greek meets Greek with the same kind of guns, there comes terrible tug of war. The genius of one man thought out the idea of covering war ships with iron plating so thick that no missile thrown from a heavy gun could pierce it. Then came better guns that could throw pointed shot through any iron. covering that could be floated. That left things as they were in old wooden hulk days, so far as safety was con cerned. And so it goes with life saving and labor-saving inventions. The sew ing machine was hailed as worlds blessing for women. It would do her work and release her from bondage. But with the machine came a use for more sewing, and {, thousand stitches-in the new way of making garmen nts-must, be taken where one would do before, and the machine toilcr of tho present gets no more money for days work, than the hand-sewing woman of the past received. The best way is to let necessity remain the mother of inven- ton. When the old man and the whole family engage in the inventing business much that is not needed will be produced, and pastimc inventions will hinder moro than they wil! help tho world. .-Nsa Orleans Picayuns

Frances Dread PhyllOxera.

The prize of $6O,O00 offered some years ago by the French Government to any one who should invent remedy for that destructive disease of the vine phylloxera, has not yet been awarded, although experiments with some of the remedies proposed have yielded encour- aging results. The losses caused by this disease are enormous. About one- half of the vineyards of France have been totally destroyed by it. MT. Roosevelt, our Consul at Bordeaux, reports that the loss caused directly by the destruction of vines is thus far $1, 440, 900, 900, to which should be added more than $76o, 900, 900 expended for wine and dried grapes imported to make good the shortage, raising the total loss to $2, 900, 900, 900. The value of wine imported into France, to be 'Doctored" in various ways for use at home and sale abroad as the product of French vineyards, has risen from $1, 67O, 34S in 1875 to $1O9, OOO,OO in 1867.--Ncao York Times

Traffic in Nicotine Extract.

The Russian correspondent of the North British Mail says that during the last few months new industry has sprung up in Russia in the form of nico- tine extract. This product not only finds sale in Russia, but is already ex- ported in considerable quantities, es- pecially to South America. The lees, obtained when preparing the tobacco leaf, have been used for a long time for destroying parasites on plants, and they have also been efficacious when applied as an antidote to the various skin diseases to which sheep are liable.
 It has now, however, been discovered that this product affords a remedy for another destructive agent-namely the dry rot among sheep-and last autumn the Russian firm of Nikolai, Bogdanow & Co.,, started works in Moscow for the production of nicotine extract on a very large scale. Four to five poods of com mon Machorlea tobacco yield only about one pood of the extract, but in such a concentrated form that teaspoonful is sufficient for nearly two pints of water, and the works produce about fifty poods of the extract per diem. The Russian Government has decided to exempt this product from excise duty. Any other uses to which this nicotine may be ap- piled, although not difficult to imagine, have not transpired

The Jelly Fish.

"People hardly ever stop to think that the masses of jelly-like matter that they so often see floating around the water at the seaside are alive, and havo some feeling"
 The speaker was bright teacher who takes a great interest in natural history.
 "The jelly fish," he continued, ad- dressing a reporter of the Pittsburg Despatch, ''is one of the primitive ami mals that has not lost its identity in the marvellous evolution of animal life. It possesses some power of sensation, but not much of anything else. can't say that it has any semblance of a nervous system, but it has low sort of instinct that leads it to avoid danger.
 "As for digestive apparatus, it is really all stomach, and it lives by what it absorbs through numerous little pores from the water. In this respect it re- semblcs piece of dough in which one would stick pieces of food. If the dough had the power of assimilation it would be second edition of the jelly fsh !,

Sea-Music.

Sea-Music. Sink, sun, in crimson far away,
 Float out pale moon, above the roar, While brown and silver, flame and gray, Round rock and sand the waters pour; For night had clew to all the store Of wild wave-harmony that rings
 And Earth hath not in all her lore Such legends as sea-music brings. Here singing silver shallows fray
 The ruby-tufted, golden floor, Here wondrous twilit forests sway
 Round coral porch and corridor Where lurk-but ah, why yet implore The splendid dream that round them clings? Where the dead lie who heard of yore The legends that sea music brings. This is the sea that could not stay
 The tides of men that evermore Rolled westward still and cleft its spray With hollowed trunk and dauntless oar; Here Grecian trireme reeled before Rome's purple galley: here sea kings Left red on wave and blackened shore The legends that sea-music brings. Earth keeps not now the face she wore; The smoke trails dusk, the wide white
 wings; No longer ss of old sh all soar
 The legends that sea-music brings.

CalifOrnia's Wealth of Minerals.

The report of the California Mining Bureau shows that 12, 1000 specimens are contained in its collection, which is the largest in the world. This collection reveals the presence in the state of .valu- able minerals besides the precious metals that Californ a possesses. Among them arc minerals for the manufacture of artificial cement, in large quanti- ties, and of greater tensile strength than Portland cement, for which the United States pays foreign producers annually nearly $1,00O, 900. There are deposits of asbestos, of long, silky fibre, that can be woven into fireproof cloth; of building stone, granites, sandstones and marbles of all varieties Mica, in large sheets, transparent and clear, and roofing slate, equal to any in the world, are also represented. The Bureau is asking for an appropriation for making thorough geological survey of the state.-New Yorb Tribune.

Loved Features on Watch Dials.

''It is getting quite the thing, nowa- days, for the dude clerks to carry their girls pictures around with them en- graved on their watch cases,' said New York jeweller to World reporter.
 "The pictures are put on by an en- tirely new process. Formerly they were photogra phed on the watch dials. By the new process the picture is put on the inside case CT cap of the watch. h. stead of being photographed the DOT. trait is burned in.
 "By this process the picture presents a soft, pleasing effect, preserving all the delicacy of the original. This process has only been known short time, and the young men in the offices around here have taken quite a fancy to it, so our business is growing.
 ''It is a common thing to sec the youths pull out their watches, open the back of the case and peer into it for sev- eral minutes. The uninitiated might suppose they were examining the works of the watch; but, instead of that, they are gazing at the features of their sbest.'"

A Good Gun of Tea.

Tea is one of the most delicious of drinks, but few persons know how to prepare it so that it is refreshing, palat- able, and in certain sense, @sthetic
 Common custom in this country makes its preparation one of the servants du- ties. It therefore comes to the table al- most always black with too much strength and sleeping, if, perchance, it has not boiled. It then has an herby flavor, and no more resembles genuine tea than the electric light is comparable to moonlight. Tea should always be
 made on the table, and three minutes
 will suffice for its compounding. Secure small copper kettle of boiling water, with an alcohol lamp beneath, pretty , tea caddy of choice tea-for good tea is really economical-a delicate china pot and cups and saucers, and lastly a pair of fair hands that serve graceful and gracious lady, and you have the ingredients for cup of tea in which the possibilities of aesthetic pleas ure are only limited by the sensibility of the recipient. Take tiny lump of sugar if you please and even a thin slice of lemon, but do not spoil the exquisite flavor and winelike color by even drop of milk or cream, If iced tea is desired, pour the freshly made tea into glass in which are Jumps of ice and sugar. It is often prepared and put away to stand in the ice chest till required, but by this means the delicate aroma of the tea passes away, and there is consequent fatness perceptible to everyone who knows how to make and appreciate the rightly made cup of ea.-Boston Herald.

Chili's Aggressive Enterprise.

Chili is maintaining her reputation as the most enterprising nation in South America. Her latest progressive move was to contract for 100000 ties and a quantity of timber from the region about Puget Sound. This material is to be used in constructing a transcontinental railroad through Chili and the Argentine Republic, and for building several new lines in the mining region and one up the coast into Peru. To make sure that the work will be we'll done the govern ment is said to have engaged number of Amer ican civil engineers and practical contractors. When the new lines are completed they will connect the silver mines of the Andes and the business centers of Peru with the principal path: of South American commerce = Chicago Herald.

A Plague of Linnets,

The only real injury that comes to the deciduous fruits in this region (and what farmer or horticulturist the world over does not have some difficulty to battle with?) is from the thousands of linnets, that are becoming as great nuisance here as the sparrows are in the far East ern States. The linnets destroy the buds on the fruit trees, and thus do injury to the crops. Last year in some localities birds caused an injury of fully one fourth the fruit crop, and thus far this season it has been worse than ever. Now the only preventive is to poison the birds. Dur ing the past week have killed over $50 linnets in this way, and if every fruit grower would take the matter in hand we should soon be rid of them. The manner of poisoning the birds is this. Take apples, quarter them, and then make hole Tn the quart CTS large enough for strychnine about the size of pea. ucu puuCu GuC 1lUlC III CWCAVC VI AACCCA places so that the strychnine can perme- ate every part of the fruit. Then place the quarters on the twigs of the trees so that the linnets can easily peck them and yet so high that the chickens cannot reach them. The poison acts almost inn mediately on the birds. I find that nearly all of them die within 100 feet of the poisoned apples and many within ten feet. If every orchardist hereabout will at once begin poisoning the linnets we shall be comparatively free from them for long time. Care should be taken that the poisoned birds are quickly buried so that their bodies may not cause more poisoning.-Pon,ona (Cal.) Pso- qress.

Professor Carlo Ruata of Perugia ha

Professor Carlo Ruata of Perugia has just published what is characterized as a striking account of the prevalence of ty- phoid fever ill Italy. Every year, he says, this disease attacks from 200, 900 to 300, 900 individuals, and causes nor tality of 27,700. One third of the per sons in Italy who reach the age of forty five are attacked with typhoid fever. In several districts over per cent. of the inhabitants die from the disease annually Commenting upon these figures the New York Medical Record says: ''lt is mex eusable that civilized states at the pres ent day should allow disease relatively so controllable to make devastations such as those in Italy. We'll may Professor Ruats exclaim: Defend yourselves from typhoid fever.'"

home with you," she whispered to Jes- sic, as the girl put on her wraps silently at rather an early hour; she had con- plained of headache, and she did look pale. 'It's a lovely night; it will do your head good, I'm sure."
 And Jessie went down the moonlit street moment later with her futtering hand on Alfred Fosters arm.
 "Did you have good time, dear?" said grandma, sleepily, rousing from doze as her granddaughter entered.
 "Lovely!' cried Jessie, softly. "Do you know who was there, grandmas Alfred Foster. Do you want to hear all about it?"
 She sat down, with her elbows on grandma's lap, and grandma listened be, wilderediy. ss<
 "I mean," she said, breathlessly, 'that we had good time coming home; we had miserable evening. You re- member him, don't you, grandma? And I've remembered him. But he looked so nice in dress suit, and Mrs. Bostwick said he was college friend of Georges, and I thought of course he must have got suddenly rich or some thing, I didn't know what; but didn't suppose he'd look at me, and I was just miserable"
 She laughed a little happily.
 "But he S only taking a two years medical course-he always did want to be doctor-and he's worked awfully hard for the money, and he says he economies dreadfully. He's in the city to see about the prospects for settling here when he's through. And the dress suit wasn't his, poor fellow; George Bostwick had made him take his, for fear he'd need it. He said he'd meant to hunt me up when he got here. But do you know, grandma, that he was afraid of me, tool He thought-well, all kinds of ridiculous things. Wasn't it funny-both of us thinking so, and being just wretched all the evening?'
 "Yes," said grandma, sympathetically. "And what now, childa"
 "Well, he's-going to write to me, :" Jessie faltered.
 "And he's going to settle here, said grandma, with thoughtful premoni- tion of the loss of her pretty grand daughter. "Well, well!"-Saturday NI0ht

Among those who have a special in. tercst in the admission of the four new states, ayers the New York Times, are the 1agmakers One of their troubles for many years has been that of arrang- ing with simplicity and exact symmetry the required number of stars in the blue field of the national banner. It is more than twenty years since this problem be- gan with the admission of the thirty seventh state, Nebraska, in 1867. Be- fore that time the multiple 36 had lent itself not only to the perfect square but to various other simple figures, and 35 had also been perfectly easy to handle in the rectangle of seven stars one way and five the other, or in the five point combination. But there was more difficulty with thirty y-scven States, and the addition of the thirty eighth, Cobra do, in 1876, made matters hardly better. Now, however, with four new States and the number of stars on the azure in- creased to forty-two, the arrangement of them IS once more the simplest and most symmetrical that can be asked, either with its seven lines of stars and six in each, or with other less obvious geo. netlical possibilities.

Untrayelled Authors,

A contributor to the American Queen, referring to one of America's brightest story tellers, says: ''For man who writes as well as he it is shame to stick at home. What could he not accom- plish if he would travel and see some thing9' Some one, commenting on this observation, remarks: ''Very good, my friend; and yet the greatest poet that the world has produced was born at Stratford, lived for few years in Lon don, and died in Stratford. That was the extent of his travels. Spencer only went as far as Ireland and in the home of Raleigh wrote the ''Faerie Queen" Cowley and Bacon wandered as far as France, but never farther. Ben Jonson, in mania for seeing, accepted the pos, ition of tutor to Walter Raleigh's son, but by the time they had colored the city of Paris Jonson was satisfied that he had seen enough. Bunyan never went far ther from Bedford than London. Defoe, though he travelled far in his books, never went beyond the borders of Scot land in the flesh. Pope's longest jour ney was to Bath. Swift's life as trav- eller was spent between Dublin and London. Congreve never left England. Cowper never crossed sea. Charles Lamb went to Paris once and once he went to Keswick to visit Coleridge." This is all very well, but these writers, if they did not travel far, kept their eyes wide open and studied human na. ture. An observing man who was never outside his country will know more about men than some men who have travelled all over the world.
