A RtaG SCHEME.


A Washington correspondent says that
the revival OF the talk about the growing
necessity of charging the White House
and giving more spacious accommodation
to its presidential occupants has set
number of men thinking about the best
plans and material with which to accom-
plish the desired result But Of them all
no one has yet suggested anything so en-
tlrely novel as the one proposed by Mr..
Claus Spreckels, the sugar king. Mr..
Spreckels returned from Europe a day or
two ago on the steamer Fulda, and dur
ing the voyage impaired his idea TO fell
lOw-traveler, who arrived in Washington
to-day. Mr.. Spreckels intends to offer to
build an addition to the Executive Man
sion OF material that shall be whittier
than the whitest marble, impervious to
the clements and capable of easy mani
pulation. He will offer further to remove
every block Of the material and restore
the grounds to their original condition
if, after the building is completed, com
petent persons shall not be satisfied with
it. Finally, he will provide the material
at One-half the cost of marble, although,
as he himself admits, he will be consid-
erably out of pocket thereby. The ma
terial he proposes to use is neither more
nor less than hardened sugar. He says
that he has to harden his sugar before it
can be exported to warm countries like
South America, and while conducting the
experiment with view to finding some
means of doing this etftctually and mex
penslvely, he discovered a process which
rendered the sugar so hard as to make it
equal in durability to the best marble,
while possessing perfect purity of white
ness.
Mr.. Spreckels says that the acceptance
of his proposition will give to the new
portion of the White House a distinct
lively national character, for it will be
made of sugar manufactured in America
from American grown beets.
He is perfectly willing to have the new
building subjected to any test that may
be suggested to try its durability and
weather proof qualities.
DR.. Geo. 0. CLAWS, a patent attorney
of this city, is at present engaged in pre-
pairing specifications and drawings in or
der to secure for Mr.. Spreckels patent
on this process Of making building mate
rial out OF soft sugar.

HOUSEKEEPING OF THE HI.
TEKeE

In cities and villages the kitchen and
cooking stove and hired girl are all to be
banished from the home Clothes-making,
soap-making, starch-making, laundry
work, coffee browning, yeast-making, but
ter-making-all are gone. Send after
them-or rather say that organized in
dustry is already taking along with these
the remaining work of cooking and
cleaning. This state of Things is coming
as sure as fate; and when it comes the
deliverance will be SO great that genera
tons yet unborn shall rise up to bless the
workings of this beneficent law.
The city of the future will not build
houses in squares, giving to every house
an individual kitchen aud prson-like back
yard. 1t will rather build them all around
an open square, and the part now distig
ured with the kitchen will be given over
for a household sitting room or nursery,
opening into great green space, where
children shall play in safety, and through
which the free air of heaven shall blow
into the houses surrounding it. In every
square will be found a scientifically con
structed building containing laundry
and great kitchen, supplied with every
modern appliance for skilled and scientific
cookery, aud also for sending into every
dining room any desired quantity or va
riety of food. The individuality of the
home and the home table will be pre-
served. and the kitchen smells and waste
and "hired cir" will all be banished.-

unwritten history Of the part the Florida

Dickson is a lady Of rare culture, and in
the performance Of the task undertaken
she will do herself and her subject Justice,
for though not an actor in those stirring
events, yet being the wife of one OF the
foremost actors, General J. J. Dickson,
she is none the less competent thereby

has not been our pleasure to read all Of

From the Key West Equator Democrat.


We learn from an exchange that Mr.
Sydney NJ. Herman, who some time ago
successfully sailed seyentoot dory from
Boston to Brooklyn, will soon undertake
another most hazardous voyage, from
Brooklyn, y. V, to Key West, Fla, a
distance Of over 800 miles. Septem Der
4th has been appointed as the day on
which he will leave Brooklyn for this
city, and the craft in which he will under
take this perilous voyage is only ten feet
long, three feet wide and twenty inches
above the water line. 1t will be fitted
with mainsail and jib, and has been
christened the " Neversink." There is no
doubt but that the "Neversink p" will be
anxiously watched for by our citizens,
and if the voyage is successfully made,
Mr.. Herman will no doubt be wined
dined, feted and lionized, and if he is a
single man he will receive any amount of
attention from the fair sex.

An eccentric clergyman, in Cornwall,
had been much annoyed by way the
members of his congregation had got into
Of looking round to take stock Of later
corners. After enduring the annoyance
for sometime, he said, on entering the
reading-desk one day Brethren, re-
gret to see that your attention is called
away from your religious duties by your
very natural desire to see who comes IN
behind you. | propose, hencetorth, to
save you the trouble by naming each per-
son who may enter, and | hope that the
service will then be allowed to proceed
without interruption. He then began
" Dearly beloved" but paused half way
to interpolate, GARNER Stubbins, with

Farmer Stubbins looked rather sur
prised, but the minister, with perfect
gravity, resumed his exhortation. Pres

William Diggle" The abashed congre-
cation kept their eyes studiousl y bent on
their books The service proceeded in
the most orderly manner, the parson in

The Grotesque Arizona Cactus

Foremost among the sights which call
forth exciamations of establishment from
the tourist is that of the grotesque cactus
of Arizona territory. Like other trop-
ical productions, it is totally unlike. any
preconceived notions of what nature
could design. The plant is leafess, hav-
ing bare, fleshy stock, protected every
where by sharp and venomous barbs
Its flowers are considered among the
choicest, varying from white and yellow
to deep crimson or purple. These blos-
SONS, capituIum, are wax like. and their
inforescence calls to mind Alladin's
tabled experience among the fairy plants,
with their sparkling fruits of diamonds
and other gems.
The fruit is egg shaped, with crown
ON the upper. side, and is generally de-
licious, presenting as varied colors as the
flowers. 1t contains large quantity Of
seeds, surrounded by a nicely favored
juicy substance. In different species tho
fruit in size is all the way up from q
canary's to an ostrich's egg. The cactus
is almost imperishable, and can live
many months without water, although
it is only seen in its perfection under a
plentiful supply. So hardy is the plant
that piece from any part will take root
and grow if placed in the ground, even
though it has lain around for time. 1t
thrives equally well on a piece of bare
rock in scorching tropical sun as it
would packed in ice in a northern zone.
1t is paradox-a curiosity in the vege-
table kingdom.-Corona News Letter.

SENATORS TALK WAR.

in Favor of Asserting Our Rights in

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The Samoan
troubles continue to be the topic of dis
cussion in congressional circles. Sena-
tors Frye and Sherman, members of the
committee on foreign relations, in con-
versation on the subject expressed the
opinion that the government of the
United States should go to war if neces-
sary to prevent any foreign government
from Selling the islands, and all mem
bers of the committee are said to be of
the same opinion. The secret agreement
with Germany and England, entered
into by Secretary Bayard, has not yet
been discIo ,ed, but it is believed on the
Republican side of the senate chamber
that it gives Germany undue prominence
in the Islands. Republican senators
claim that Mr.. Bayard had no authority
to make such an agreement or treaty,
