PresileDt's ReceDtious.

Mrs Washington used TO receive her
guests sitting, and quaint old picture of d
reception at the White House in Abraham
Lincoln's time shows the president moving
about among his guests. The levee, with its
crowd and hopperlike method of disposing of
people, is of modern growth. 1t is thought
"A necessity that has come with the great pop
ulation of the country, the vast number OF
persons in official life here at the capital.
Still there are observers who think it would
be more Democratic, more rational, if the
president were to adopt different method.
1t may be necessary to use hopper at his
public receptions, but for the remaining
prevent the crowding of his parlors to the
danger point, AS is now done. With a
few hundred instead Of few thousand
guests the president and his wife could
walk about the parlors, greeting and
briefly conversing with the persons whom
they know, and standing ready at all
times TO have strangers presented to
them by mutual friends or the Off
cial master of ceremonies. All the tend
ency of Washington society is toward great
crowds, and crowds bring forms and stupidi-
ties Actual social intercourse is made i'm
possible. The host and hostess are set up in
a convenient spot and made a show of, Past
them the throngs are marched, as before n
corpse lying in state or curiosity in a
museum. This absurdity appears not only in
tho White House, but in the homes of cabine
ministers and all persons who join fully in
the society OF the capital The average
Washington reception, whether afternoon or
evening, is little better than procession.
The purpose is apparently to see as many
persons rs possible, to get as many cards us
may be into the basket, and of course the re-
suit Is intellectual Generalization and physi-
cal fatigue Conversation degenerates to the
merest trivialities, the entire social effort be-
comes inane and ridiculous w ashington

A STOVE WITH A HISTORY.
1t Used to Warm the Shins of Vanderbilt
and Terhune.

1t Used to Warm the Shins of Vanderbilt
and Terhune.
Herewith is given representation of an
old stove at which were once toasted the
shins Of no less important personages than the
late John Terhune and Commodore Wander
bilt. John Terhune in 1910 was youngster
of II and book seller in New Brunswick,
N. j., when Vanderbilt, about the same age,
worked his way up the river peddling shad.
The two became acquainted and the acquaint-
ance became friendship For time they
kept bachelors hall together at New Bruins
wick, and used the stove to cook their meals
upon Two years after the meeting Terhune
married and took the stove, while Vanderbilt
sailed away TO New York and soon himself
took wife.
In 1878 Vanderbilt went back to New
Brunswick, and upon going to housekeeping
Terhune lent him the stove. Vanderbilt be-
gan running steamer and a stage line, while
his wife ran hotel Mrs. Vanderbilt made
more money out of the hotel than her hus-
band made out of the passenger business, and
the commodore appropriated her profits, with
which to begin building his great fortune
When the Vanderbilts moved to the hotel the
stove was returned TO Terhunes store, where

her lips thin and colorless and her nose
slender and straight. The blue glasses which
she wears effectually hide her eyes. She is
an expert lace maker, and it pleases her to
have her work appreciated She takes great
pleasure in making samples of lace which
visitors are eager to buy as mementoes Of her
skill. She hasa great desire to be useful, and
delights in the idea of earning money and ac-
cumulating it, With every mat she sells she
gives her autograph with the price marked
on it. Her method of writing is quite inter-
esting. She has a covered pad with slight
grooves in 1t which keep her lines straight
She places two fingers on the groove and
quickly makes the letters, pushing her fingers
close to the pencil, so that she will not run one
letter on to another. She writes as rapidly
as an ordinary person does. Laura
is very fond of receiving visitors, with whom
she converses on all subjects and never seems
to tire. She has received calls from numer-
GUS distinguished people of this country and
others Laura threads needles in a unique
way; she places the eye ON her tongue and
deftly rolls the thread into it, She is a great
correspondent When President Garfield
died she wrote long letter of coincidence to
Mrs. Garfield. Her highest pleasure seems
to be conversation. She is also happy when
assisting the teachers in the institution. She
reads the Bible carefully and likes to have
books and magazines read to her. 1t Is
thought that Laura does not realize what she
has missed in life she is always cheerful,
happy and affectionate to her nearest friends.

Prussian COlOrs,

The Prussian war minister has published in
two volumes "a history of the colors of the
Prussian army from 1907. 1t appears that in
the campaigns Of 1864 and 1866 ninety
standards were pierced by balls. In the cam
paign of 1870 the number of regimental colors
pierced was ISL. The flag Of the Seventh
regiment of infantry was hit by twenty-three
balls in the single battle of Mars-la-Tour. In
the entire Franco-Prussian war thirty eight
Prussian standard bearers were killed while
holding their colors. -Chicago Times.
