TIE White House is undergoing
the Usual annual repairs, with con-
sequent renewal of the talk about a
new building. There is no question
of the need of additional room. There
are very few private families pos
sessed of moderate means who do not
have better living accommodate ons
than those furnished by the nation
for the President and his family. The
present White House is hardly larger
than is necessary for the offices and
public reception rooms of the Presi-
dent. The nation is able to provide
its official head with ample and con-
venient living rooms, and it ought to
do so.

The good old days of romance are
by no means over in the East if the
recent reports are to be believed. The
story is that the Shah has had the
Governor of MaZendelan quietly
boiled alive for presuming to steal
more of the revenues of the province
than the Shah thought proper. This
is really good old-fashioned style. and
it is easy to see that there might be
some chance for even a realist to
write exciting novels in the domain
of the Shah

That some high geniuses with
peculiar endowments can never attain
great fame is evidenced in the career
OF Louis Paulsen, whose death was
recorded recently. Paulsen was born
with the marvellous faculty of the
chess-player and some of his feats at
his chosen game have not been sur
passed. He mastered all contempt
rary knowledge as to openings and
methods and developed originality
enough to overthrow former systems
and confound older players. His
memory was so remarkable that he
could play twelve games at once while
blindfold. Yet at his death his name
was unknown to nearly all save the
comparatively few who make chess
their hobby and pay long devotions
before the craven images of bishop,
knight, and pawn. :

WHILE England, France, and every
other foreign nation of the earth is
showing an active interest in the
Worlds Fair, the eastern portion Of
the United States itself regards it
with indifference, if not with down.
right hostility. So palpable is the
fact that no zeal for the enterprise
can be aroused in the cities of that
section that the eastern department
of the exposition is to be abolished.
1T was organized for the purpose Of
overcoming jealousy of Chicago and
prejudice against the fair, but it has
utterly failed in it's object and is only
a useful and expensive appendage of
the fairs executive organization.
The action Of the management will
be stinging reproach to the Eastern
cities, and too late they will repent
of the folly of their course.

AN incident which happened re-
Gently in the House of Lords affords
a hint which might be turned to ad-
vantage in the legislative bodies of
this country. The acoustic proper
ties of laboratory hall of the House
of Lords are such that two lords made
quite long addresses at the same time
without either discovering that any
body else was speaking. 1t would
not be a bad idea to have the halls of
Congress arranged ON the same prin-
ciple, to the end that half dozen of
the long speeches be made at one
time. Nobody pretends to suppose
that in these days the speeches which
are made for and against bill have
anything to do with the vote which
is taken upon it. They are made for
the purpose of having them after
ward circulated as campaign docu.
ments, and, of course, there Is no
need that the representatives shall
hear them. Their delivery consumes
vast deal of valuable time, and it
were an excellent thing il they could
be disposed of in lump

1T is not the scarcity of dimes to
be picked up that makes poverty; it
is the number of unnecessary dollars
that are wasted. Frugality and
economy in youth are the only pro-
tections against poverty and depend
ence in old age, but there are very
few who seem to have enough good
judgment and foresight to practice
it. Most men seem to think that
some unknown providence of philan-
thropic friend will provide for them
in old age, but they will live to real
ize their mistake. These are not the
days of fairies and protecting spirits.
Every man must take care of himself,
and it is lesson he cannot learn too
soon.

WISCONSIN seems to be among the
modest States in its views of repre-

''It is just as well that Wisconsin

her small appropriation she would be

of the building her own. A tent of
