Entering the big front door you turn TO the

five feet wide. You note that though the
carpet is new the tread of the Office seeker

the country on the stairs. They stamp
along as though they owned the building,
and most of them think they do. When
you reach the second floor you find that
your surroundings are those of business

residence Two colored gentlemen stand

man, short and squatty, sits before little
desk as you enter the hall. He is in the
corner made by the partition which has
been run across the hall to give the Presi-

at you his back is turned toward the door

THE ATTIC OF THE WHITE HOUSE

might be supposed to furnish some room.
1t does not. The rocf is so low in most
places that you cannot stand upright
under it. All the light comes from the sky
lights and the place is tit for nothing but
lumber room. Init are stored President
Harrison's trunks, baby McKee's cast
off clothes and the old furniture of the
executive mansion. Rats and spiders are
about the only inhabitants and the top Of
the White House is more like a country
garnet than the attic Of a two-story house
covering quarter of an acre and situated
in one Of the great cities of the United
States.
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MATTER
is that the executive mansion would do
very well for the private residence OF the
President or for his Offices. twill not do
for both and the statesmen appreciate it.
In 1882 Senator Morrill, had bill which
passed the Senate appropriating 100000
to build an extension to the White House
and Mrs Harrison has said that there
ought to be two wings added to it. She
would remodel the conservatory, add hall
OF painting and statuary anu would leave
| the present building as y: y sandwiched
between the ends OF these two wings. In
this way the historical associations of the
building would be preserved and Mrs. Har-
rison's ideas are much better than that of
Senator ingalls, who was in favor Of adding
astory to the building. The White House has
cost already about two million dollars. 1t
took $500 900 to build it nearly one hundred
years ago ald more than S1,T00,000 have
since been spent upon it. 1t is full OF
beauties in the way of furniture and pic
lures and through it costs US more than
Sl25,0O0 a year to pay the Presidents
salary and keep up his establishment, we
are rich and can afford it.

An Antidote for Fat.

Peter the great was once travelling
incognito in n part of Finland, just
conquered, where he was executing
some naval works. He met nm over.

said the car. To consult a doctor
about my fat, which has become very

Menschikoff, and he will introduce
you to one of tho emperor's physi-
clans" The traveller went to the
princes house with the note; the
answer was not Delayed; the next
day,tied hands and feet, the poor
man was dragged off in Il cart to the
mines. Two years after, Peter the
Great was visiting the mines; he had
forgotten the adventure of the fat
man, when suddenly u miner threw
down his pick, rushed up to him,
and fell down Mt his feet crying:
"Grace, grace! what ia it I have
done?" Peter looked ut I'm aston

A Great Undertaking.

An attempt is now being made to
obtain n number of photographs
which shall cover tho whole extent
of the heavens. The task is, indeed,
an immense one. If the plates to be
used were the same size us those of
which have just been speaking it
would require about ten thousand of
them to represent the entire sky.
The great survey has, therefore, to
be divided among Il number of OBJ
servatories, some OF which are to be
in the Southern Hemisphere, for we
must include pictures Of the South
ern Cross and the other constella-
tions OF the South, which we can new
er see from this part of the world.
Some splendid telescopes have been
especially constructed for the pur-
pose, and in q few years we may ex-
pect to see the survey in q fair way
towards completion.
l may mention that the great diff
Guilty encountered in taking the pho.
tographs is that of keeping the stars
always at the same point ofthe plate
for the hour or more that the expos
ure is to last. The telescopes moved
smoothly under electrical guidance
from a clock SO MS to follow the star.
The attendant astronomer must at
the same time patiently watch the
movement with the aid OF another
telescope and incessantly guard
against the slight Irregularities from
which no purely mechanical contriv-
ance can he entirely free. When the
great survey has been finished we
shall be in possession of u chart of
the whole sky, embracing millions of
stars, each accurately depicted in it's
exact place.-Philadelphia Times.
