Arrival at the White House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-At eight minutes
past o'clock this afternoon. the President
and Private Secretary Halford drove up in
front of the White House, after an absence
of nearly two weeks. A number of newspa-
per men and a few tourists had gathered
upon the portico. In response to their sa-
Lutte, the President raised his hat, and,
with smile said: Il am much obliged for
the reception"
Mr.. Halford says they had pleasant trip
down from Fall River on the Pilgrim. The
water was little rough, but not enough SO
to make it uncomfortable TO experienced
travellers. At Jersey City. they took the
first Pennsylvania railroad train TO Wash
ington. comfortably placed in the private
car of President Roberts. As few people
were aware of the itinerary of
the trip, there were no demonstrations
or in cidents on the railroad journey. The
Presidents first act upon reaching the
White House was to telegraph Mrs. Harri-
son that he had returned safely. She will
take the Puritan tonight and reach Wash
ington tomorrow afternoon, just in time TO
join President Harrison at the station and
proceed with him to Deer Park. The Pres
ident and Mr.. Halford looked well upon
their arrival and were in good spirits.

In the opinion OF the editor OF the Sam.
itary Volunteer the official organ OF the
New Hampshire board OF health there is
a great deal Of sentiment and many
opinions regarding the use Of ice water
that vanish when tllc.light of reason and
experience is turned upon them. The
Tact is that ice water drank slowly and
in moderate quantities constitutes q
healthful and invigorating drink. there
is no doubt that ice is a great sanitary
agent, and every family ought to be
provided with it during the warmer
months OF the year. 1t is true that the
lnordinate use OF ice water; or it's use
under some special conditions and
circumstances, is attended with great
danger; so the improper use OF any other
drink or food. the assumption that iced
water is dangerous, and that iced tea, or
iced coffee, or iced lemonade is II
harmless substitute, simply q delu-
sion. AS the source OF danger feared by
some is the degree OF cold, we fail to see
clearly how flavor modilies the effect OF
temperature. There are individuals I'M
dotDUeuly, VINO cannot drink ice water
without injury and who ought never to
use it; but to a great majority OF per-
sons it is refreshing and healthful. Its
use, use temperate and discreet, is in no
way to be condemned, which cannot be
OF some Of its substitutes.

Wrinkles are out; bnt the iron is rcmov-
ed before the steam ceases to rise from
the goods, else they would be shiny.
Wrinkles that are obstinate are remov-
ed by laying a wet cloth over them, and
passing the iron over that. If any shi-
ny places arc seen, they are treated as
the wrinkles are; the iron is lifted, while
the full cloud OF steam rises, and brings
the nap upwith it: Cloth should always
have a suds made specially for it, as if
that which has been used for white cot
ton or wooden clothes, lint will be left in
the water, and cling to the cloth. In this
manner We have known the same coat

again, and have all the look and feel OF

and look better every time because OF
them.

The one-horse politicians who have
been in the habit Of sneering at the
Farmers Alliance can learn something
by studying the results OF the North Da-
kota state convention. Despite the
thorough combination and organiza-
ton OF all the forces, interests and fac
tions opposed to farmers they nomi-
nate the gubernational ticket and die
tated the nomination OF all the rest.
Money was freely used to defeat the
movement, butitfailedt to buy the sturdy
tillers OF the soil, who are beginning to
realize that a sale OF their political right
means slavery for themselves and fani-
lies. Ever since modern civilization be-
gan, the men who raise bread for the
world have borne the harvest burdens
and received the meanest returns, until
the name farmer was only another
term for servant. The actual kings and
queens Of fearth have become, by virtue
OF their own industry, the serving men
and women OF the society drones, who
had time to watch for soft snaps and
rich steals. until, by their accumula-
ions they became capitalists, and in a

According to DR.. Leuf, when water

According to DR.. Leuf, when water is
taken into the full or partly full stom-
ach, it does not mingle with the food, as
we are taught, but passes along quickly
between the food and lesser curative
toward the pyrolus, through which it
passes into the intestines. The secre-
ton OF mucus by the lining membrane is
constant, and during the night a COD
siderable amount accumulates in the
stomach; some OF it's liquid portion is
absorbed, and that which remains is
thick and tenacious. If food is taken in
to the stomach when in this condition
it becomes coated with this mucus, and
the secretion OF the gastric juice and it's
action are delayed. These facts show the
value Of a goblet OF water before break
fast. This washes out the tenacious
mucous, and stimulates the gastric
glandes to secretion. In old and feeble
persons water should not be taken cold.
but it may be with great advantage
taken warm or hot. This removal Of
tn accumulated mucus from the stom-
ace is one OF the reasons the soup at the
bchinning OF o meal has been found SO
beneficial.

Dear Sir:-Yours OF 21st inst. Just
received. In reply will say that
in my Judgment prohibition does pro-
hibit so far as Sioux City is concerned.
Never has Sioux City seen such prosper
ity rs since it was Il prohibition city. !
DO not claim that prohibition has done
1t all, but it has largely contributed to
that cause. 1t has done away largely
with our court expenses, it has given
confidence to the public and to the lab
oring classes it has been q great boon.
Instead OF squandering their money Tor
drink, it has been invested in homes and
comforts for their families. The calls
Tor charity are less with .lO, 1000 inhabit-
ants and prohibition than they were
with 10000 people and the open saloon.
The l25 saloons that we formerly had
are now used as retail stores. In my
judgement prohibition has benefited
Sioux City, and its present prosperity
lisa strong indication thereof. 1t is /;
quiet orderly and llourishing city.
Yours very truly,
j., II. EVANS.

SANKEY'S Nationality.

Communication in London Times:
"One Who Knows" has bsen strangely
misinformed as to the original name and
early name of Henry NJ. Stanley. His
birthplace vas not Mold, but Denbigh,
where he was born Thursday, Jan. %,
1S41. Bis mother, whom 1 well knew,
was the daughter of q butcher in that
town, and his father, John Rowlands,
was a farmer who lived at Segrywyd, in
the near vicinity. The child was great
favorite with his maternal grandfather,
who somewhat prophetically named him
"Fy nhyn dyfodi i"-that is, my man of
the future.
When he was 5 years old his grand
father died s1ddenly-as mis- daughter
described it, he fell dead In the garden"
The home was broken up, and the child
was placed with one Richard Price and
his wife, who lived in the bowling green
in Den bigh Castle. Shortly afterwaId the
son of this man, also named Richard
Price, carried him on his back from Den
bigh to the st. Asaph Union Work house,
where he was brought up and bore the
name of his father, John Rowlands.
His subsequent career may be read in
little book published some years ago by
Camden Hotten, of Piccadilly, entitled,
if I recollect Alright, 'H. M. Stanley
Story of His Life, by Cadwallader of
Rowland" The name of Stanley is de-
rived, not as stated by your correspon
dent from lady who adopted him, bat
from a tore-keeper in whose service he
lived when he first arrived in America.
His mother died in her SD year, March
%, 1886, and was buried in the church
yard of Bodelwyddan, near Asaph. It is
is recorded on her coffiu-plate in these
sim pie words that she was Mother of 81.

Farm Mortgages.

There is deal said about farm mort
cages that is bosh, says the Des Moines
Register. When we came to Iowa thirty
three years ago much of the land was
bought by eastern people as an invest
ment. They held the land, paid taxes,
and in some instances improved and
rented them, waiting for increased
prices. The settlers finally bought out
the non residents at prices ranging from
s. to $50 an acre, and secured payments
by mortgages on the lands, paying in
terest at rates ranging from to 10 per
cent. AS Iowa securities rose in the esti-
nation of eastern money men, money
was loaned at gradually lessening rates
Of interest, The old and 10 per cent.
mortgages were paid off and new loans
negotiated at lower rates till now money
Is borrowed at 6 per cent. with a COM
mission to the agent. This is the basis
of most farm mortgages. OF course we
have the bad manager who gets in debt
by speculation, living beyond his means
and refusing to learn the ground princi-
pies of successful Misunderstanding
scrub stock, attending TO other peoples
affairs, selling grain, buying too much
land not productive, and the like, but the
major part of Iowa farm mortgages are
given for land to take up old mortgages
or buy out a neighbor and the per cent.
of such debt in relation to assessed valu-
alton Is less every year.

A Study of Moisture.

Whatever affects the profits of every
tiller of the soil is naturally more i'm
portant than any local question. The
Stor1s Experiment Station, Mansfield,
Conn, acts upon this, andIts second bull
ietin gives an account of experiments
instituted and under way which bear up
on that first Of questions with Us in our
brief, hot summers-how moisture may
be retained in the soil in order to pre-
vent hindrances or fatal stoppages of
growth. From August Is to 81 was the
only part of last summer dry enough at
Mansfield for test. During those fif-
teen days, heavy soil not stirred lost by
evaporation nearly inches deep of
water. With the surface stirred it lost
but 5-4. Light soil lost much less-5 4
when unstirred, and "a inches when
stirred.
The good effect of stirring the surface
two inches deep or better is ex planned by
its making soil pores too large for the
ascent of the soil water to the surface by
capilarity, and as the air enters these
openings freely it keeps the soil cooler
By its non oonduct1veness, and often
adds to it's moisture by dew deposit ICON
densation of it's vapor). A study of the

soil culture and on the valuation of soils
which are good or poor not merely in
proportion to the nicely of texture on
which depends their comparative Cape
bility of retaining the precious and in
dispenssble moisture.
