Of the larger pieces of silver date back to
Madison's day, although no memoranda has
been kept and il is hard 10 tell when things were
purchased. Numberless old pieces bear the
words Presidents House, the stately term
which was formerly used. These sets are very
incomplete, and as silver never wears out the
only conclusion is that the White House has had
its burglaries as well private houses. 1t is
the privilege of stewards TO condemn Articles
which have been in use for some time, and there
is no doubt among those who have thought of it
that in times past many an article has been con-
demned and sold which would have the incalcu-
liable value of The historical association just
now. Mrs. Harrison has the hope that congress
will some time make an appropriation to redeem
any of those valusbles that can be traced, and
she will surely have the gooc will Of ell in her
attempt.
TIE WHITE HOUSE COOKS.
The busiest place in the whole executive man
sion is the two rooms in the basement over
which Dolly Johnson the colored cook, pre-
sides. Dolly is tall fne-looking woman, light
of color and probably not much over thirty.
President Harrison secured her 4 short time ago
from Kentucky, and from all accounts Dolly
knows how to suit presidential appetite much
better than the former cook. Nine. Pelouard,
whose fanciful French cooking was not at all to
the plain American taste. Dolly is immensely
proud of the fact that she belongs to old Kahn
tuck, and she always answers when anyone asks

her the place of her birth, Louisville, Ken
tucky," with naughty emphasis on the
Louisville. - She never fails to add, ''Mary
Robinson. she is from Vaginny, " in such = tone
that one can see that she does not consider
Mary Robinson al all her equal in the matter of
nativity. Mary makes the pies, bakes the
bread and frys the crullers, and is the assistant
of Mistress Dolly Johnson. who confines her
ambitions to brewing soups and basting meats.
The two of them can get up dinner that would
put Phillipin, Nicoini and all ths other SO, 900
chefs to the test. Delmonico has no
oven. and Vanderbilt's own chef cannot put up
better pastry than the ''Vaginny GAL" Mary
is as black as the ace of spades and she shows
her white teeth on the slightest provocation
She is younger than Dolly and always treats her
with the most exalted politeness, as BELTS SUBJ
iect to chief, calling her with the utmost hui
dresses Of Dutch blue calico and big white
aprons that cover them from head to foot. Dolly
wears a bandanna crossed on her capacious
bosom in picturesque fashion, but neither Of
them wear caps, as the least suggestion OF livery
Is unbelievable at the White House. Martha
Washington was probably the only mistress Of
that mansion who had the pleasure of seeing her
retainers in livery, but woe to the mistress who
would now attempt to put her maids in caps and
her men in knee breeches and cockades. Even
that worthy gentleman. Albert Hawkins, the
coachman, has to content himself with what he
dolefully calls Jest plain citizens cloes -.
although he would dearly love top boots and
cockade.
LOOK AT THE KITCHENS.
There are two kitchens in which Dolly johnson
can carry out her dream Of cookery-one under
the private dining and Of the same size,
and the other under the serving room and but
leE's pantry. The first is used when . state din
ner is underway and in the second the prepara-
ratfons for each day are made The kitchens are
as neat as pair OF pms but they haven't the APP
pointments of the Kitchens that are now added
to 5000 houses, and one cannot help wishing
that the people who do SO adore the quaint, his
toric White House would get peep into these
dark. illy-fuTnished rooms. They are damp, for
the walls are so thick that the hot sun of wash
ington summer can hardly dry them, and the
floors are of planks that creak and tremble in
way to brighten even the cheerful second cook.
II she is hoodooed the country will have
to answer for it.. The upper floors Of
the quaint historic White House are
bad enough, but the basement would be con-
demned by even modern building inspector.

the quarters where adozen human beings spend
their days CHEEKY. and among other things, she

Mood VS. Goodness.

Evangelist ID. L. Moody went down
into the slums of Chicago to preach to an
audience Of people never seen inside of
the churches. After the services he was
the center Of a scene. Half a dozen
young men, half drunk and noisy, waited
at the foot of the stairs. They insulted
the young women who came out and
they tripped up the young men. They
were evidently preparing to have some
rough sport with Mr. Moody, for when
he appeared at the door they crowded
around him and jostled him off the lower
step.
He saw the danger and averted it
neatly. He was carrying his overcoat on
his arm. Picking u the biggest and
toughest Of the crowd. he said: Wont
you please help me on with this coat:
I'm getting a little old and stout" The
bad young man was unnerved. He red
dened, and stepped back. Mr.. Moody
held out his arms a~ppealingly. and the
young man weakened. Muttering some
thing that sounded like an oath he hoisted
the coat on to the broad shoulders. II
knew you'd do it. Thank you" laughed
Mr.. Moody: and he walked briskly down
the street, leaving a disorganized gang
of hoodlums in the shadow of the build
ing.-Exchange.

more. 1t is too puerile. They look on
a little while and walk about YEARLY.
They seemed u have entered on that
phase OF life when everything bores
more or less. l saw ladies walking with
their husbands up and down the CORR
dor. Some waddled. Some were too
fat to dance. Some had lost entirely
the elastic muscle of childhood, though
not forty. These, of course, were too

to consider this apparent inability to
dance as dignity. Perhaps it is. / saw

Sugar on Raw Oysters

The sallow faced Celestials in this city
are more particular as regards their diet
than most people suppose.
One of them, who enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the wealthiest in town,
came into a down town oyster house the

lively and replied: "A whatY'

A young monk came n day to his
father superior and asked: Father.
what is it to be dead to self" The IA
ther replied: II cannot explain it now:
but ! have a duty to perform. Brother
Martin died last week, and is buried in
the churchyard of our order. Go to his
grave. and, standing close beside it, re-
peat In a loud, clear voice, all the good
things you ever heard about him. After
this. say all the fattering things you can
invent, and attribute to him every
sanity grace and virtue, without regard
to truth, and report the result to me-"
The young monk went away TO do his
bidding, wondering what all this could
mean. Soon he returned, and the father
asked him whatha ~transpired. "Why,
nothing" replied the young man. Il
did as you told me, and that was ALL"
did Brother Martin make no replyi"
asked the superior. "Of course he did
not, for he was dead" said the monk.
The elder shook his head thoughtfully,
saying: THAT is very strange. Go again
tomorrow at the same hour, and repeat
at the grave side all the evil you ever
heard concerning Brother Martin. Add
to that the worst SANDER and calumny
your mind can imagine, and report the
result to me-"
Again the young man obeyed, and
brought back the same report. He had
heaped unlimited abuse on the head of
Brother Martin, and yet had received no
reply. From Brother Martin you may
learn" said the father. "what it is to be
dead to self. Neither flattery nor abuse
has moved him, for he is dead. So the
disciple who is dead to self will be insen-
sible to these things. Neither voice nor
hand will ever be lifted in self defense
or retaliation; but all personal feeling
will be lost In the service of Christ. -

Here Is solution of the high hat prob

the theatre so arranged that those occu-

lowered by the management; or. better
still, elevate those occupied by men. The
machinery for raising and lowering the
seats could be operated by the stage engi-
