He preferred the quiet of the bosky

pine or any other sougherer, so that he
was not included himself, the quiet Of
the forest, the deep hush Of the lonely

and the regular army to watch him.

THE WHITE HOUSE HONE.
By FRANC L. STONE.

E4zsss.T is pleasant to recall,
nOW that all eyes are
M turned to ward he
s White House, that it
81 has always been a pure
home, devoid of the in
trigues which charac-
terize so many foreign
scourts. Abigail Adams,
the wife of the second President, was
It's first mistress, and it has never been
reigned over by an ADLER one. The
mansion was not yet completed when
Mrs. Adams, the mother of another
President, by the way, occupied it, and
her letters, still extant, in relation
thereto, are pithy and humorous.
Next came Jefferson's matronly
daughter, MadisOn's beaming wife, and
the quiet family of Monroe. Next,
John Quincy Adams brought his Mary
land bred wife to do honOrs at the ma
toms capital, with that magic grace
she had exercised in her fathers home
when he was a foreign minister.
Andrew Jackson then, freshly widow
ed, took his seat with the family of his
nephew and adopted son in the White
House, followed by Van Buren, and his
gentle, manly, but mOtherless boys.
-
and received his pure bride in
the old building, and Mrs. Polk,
chiIdIess, but with the rare grace she
still preserves, even in her tottering
old age, presided there; and there
Zachary Taylor took the domestic
honor of 8 soldier with none of the
habits of the camp. Lincoln saw his
favorite son, 'Tad," die in the White
House, and shed tears which cOnse-
Grated the spot to household honor.
Grants wife never Withdrew from him
the love she gave him in his younger days
when he was unknown to fame. Mrs.
Hayes beauty and Christian endeavor
made her one of the famed ladies of the
White House. In the old mansion, too,
Mrs. Garfield received her husband
wounded to death, which, with his
mother waiting and Watching from
afar, presents a picture of the divine
ness of home. General Arthur, sur
rounded by the beauty and grace OF
our nation, lived true to the memory OF
his wife, and thus added honor to the
sanctity of family ties. Mrs. Cleveland
brought youthful grace and beauty,
coupled with good judgment rare in
one of her years, to- the old mansion
where she became a bride. Mrs. Har-
rison is a middIe-aged lady, and has
always been a companion and true
helpmate to her husband. She is
rather large, fne-Iooking, with some
thing Of hauteur in the expression OF
her face which commands respect at
the same time it forbids familiarity
It is notable fact that the wives of our
Presidents, almost without exception,
have survived their husbands, and Uni.
versally remained loyal to the memo
ries of their girlhood's choice, ever
through long years of widowhood.-

But how may it be used for develop
ing the muscles? A look at the cut
answers the question. There are the
stirrups for standing swing and other
movements. A seatboard fitted in the
stirrups gives the regular swing which
all children like. Detach the straps
which hold the stirrups and the swing
ing rings are left, and all boys and
girls know how many movements can
be executed by them. Now detach the
rings and substitute bar in the loops
of the leather straps, and you have
perfect flying trapeze. When your
hours exercise is ended detach the
swinging part from the bridge, and the
latter, which is not at all unsightly, is
all that is left of your home gymna-
SUM until you want to use it again
There is hardly a muscle in the body
that may not be exercised and devel-
oped by the systematic use of such an
apparatus as the one we have described.

only trouble is to get them to take 1t.
They have tc1 much to do after school
hours-too many engagements with
other boys-to get right down to Sc
rious business in gymnastics once a
day. And the same may be said of
girls, though they are more tractable
in this way than the boys.
How then shall the one hours daily
exercise be given the element of at
tractiveness. which makes a boy or girl
go at it with eagerness and spirit, and
not as a lamb to the slaughter? The
only way, perhaps, is to combine it
with play; let it amuse as we'll as bene-
fit, and its serious aspect is removed.
The illustration below shows some
thing which appears to be admirably
suited to the purpose. 1t is simple,

Down among the daisies
Little Guy is playing;
On a daisy cushion
His curly head is laying;
Dimpled hands and fingers
Pick the flowers faster,
While Carlo, faithful doggie,
Watches Ger his master.
See the sun is setting,
Way of in the west,
And little Guy is sleeping,
His curly head at rest
On Carlos coat 80 shaggy,
A pillow soft AM warm,
And Carlo ever watching
To keep him from all harm.
But bark mamma is calling
Her darling little son,
And over cross the meadow
How quickly she doth run.
And there she finds her baby,
Amid the daisies deep,
Chubby arms round Carlos neck,
And blue eyes fast asleep.

UNION HILL, N. j., Sept 6.-John
Schluepper, of Union Hill, killed his
brother Jacques and then shot himself.
Jacques was the secretary and treasurer
of the Weehawken Granite company, of
Hudson county, and John was the agent
of wash tub manufacturing company,
doing business at Hockton, Cal. John
entered the house of his brother and
seized Jacques by the neck and drawing
a revolver fired two shots through his
head, both above the left eye. He then
fired another shot, which missed and
shattered a plate glass mirror. He then
entered an adjoining room and fired q
shot through his own head over the
right eye and fell dead. It seems from
statement of the wife that two years
ago John was the contractor for the
Lewis sewer in Union Hill and defaulted
to the extent of several thousand dollars.
The brother made good the amount.
