Largest Parlor in the U. S.

The east room of the White House is
perhaps the biggest parlor in the United
States, and it is wonder of magnifi-
cence. It's walls are of silver and gilt,
and in them are set eight massive mir
rors. each of which is as big as the tops
of two billiard tables placed side by side,
and your feet sink almost up to the
ankle in the rich velvet carpet which
covers the floor. This room is eighty
feet long and forty feet wide, and it takes
about four hundred yards to cover it..
The furniture is cushioned with genuine
hair, and is covered with the finest OF
satin. This room is now lighted by
electricity, and there are in the neigh
borhood of thousand incandescent
lights in the mansion. The chandeliers
in the east room cost $4,000 piece, and
each contains 5000 pieces of the finest
Bohemian glass. Historic paintings
hang upon the walls, and the portraits
which look down at you have cost Uncle
Sam in the neighborhood of twenty-five
dollars an inch.

The Latest Bathing Suit.

From the Chicago Blade:
The tailor>made girl, who is immense
ly clever in getting herself up for any
thing, has made a study Of the opportu-
mites afforded by the ocean, and she
looks as smart in it as she does when she
is immaculate in a white linen shirt and
close-fitting collar. She describes her
mode of dress in this way: Most women
have an idea that it is only the plump
girls who show off to advantage in the
water. Now they are immensely mis-
taken in this. Unless they are very
carefully dressed they grow fiabby as
soon as they get into the wet element
and become anything but charming OBJ
jects. 1t is the slender girl who has the
best of it, for she can put on the amount
of clothes necessary and still retain her
shape, and if she is good swimmer she
gives to the lookers-on the impression
of being some sort of a light bird flying
just over the tops of the waves. I'll tell
you how dress; l first put on white
silk undervest, and over this a pair OF
stays that have worn a great deal, and
which consequently lend themselves easl-
ly to my figure. By-the-by out OF these
| draw all the side bones.
ssThen put on my suspenders that are
to hold up my long stockings, which are
not of silk nor of Isle thread, but, fitting
me perfectly, are of yarn, and cost me
rather more than silk would, but they
wear great deal better and look better
after they have gotten wet. Then comes
my bathing dress, the under part, that
s the knee breeches and bodice, all being
in one piece. l have sailor collar, and
| my sleeves reach little above the ell
bows. The short skirt which is then
buttoned on has its fastening hidden
under the white canvas belt, which | can
draw in pretty well, and which | have
white, SO that attention may be attracted
to the smallness of my waist. About my
hair? Well, as l expect to be properly
dressed in half an hour after | come out
of the water, you must know it isn't my
own hair which you see, for l wouldn't
|
too long to get 1T dry. | plait my OWL
hair in fine braids, and pin it close te
my head then tie to it two braids thai
haze they ends fastened with marrow
black ribbons; when they are placed
put on my cap, which is a black stock
met, one lined with rubber, and which
has sewn under the edge just the sugges
ton of fringe of hair, SO that the hare
look which comes from the bare forehead
showing is lost.
"When am out in the water mar
can catch me by the belt, throw me
around, and never loose my good looks
My costume remains absolutely in place
It is natural for the crimps to come ou
little, and yet, as | tell you, half al
hour afterward my own hair, beautiful
ly curled and Topped, perfectly dry
makes every other woman who has got
ten her hair wet get into an exquisite
state of fury No, don't care for white
suits or pink suits-nothing Is so smar
as entirely black, and nothing is so mucl
liked by the men; and, after all, when WI
dress for the water it is the men we de
sire to please

A Remarkable Coincidence

Senator Barbour died suddenly at 6
o'clock Saturday morning. May Nth, at
his home in Washington city. Very early
that morning Judge II. L. Taylor, OF
Mitchells, in Culpeper county, Va, arose
and walked over to the store of Messrs.
J.. W. Lewis s. Co., and remarked to
several persons present that he had a
most unpleasant dream during the night.
It was to the effect that his lifelong
friend. Hon. John S. Barbour, had sud-
denly died. His remarks were received
with levity, for up to Friday, the 18th
instant, no one there had heard of Mr..
Barbour being even slightly indisposed
hence the surprise and grief of everyone,
when a few hours later the dream of the
old Judge was verified by the telegraph
-Oranqe Observer.

Queen victoria's Costly Journey.

Queen Victoria s. Costly Journey.
From Gallgnani's Messenger.
1t will doubtless be of interest to give
some particulars Of the cost OF the
Queens holiday abroad. All the ar
rangements for the journey, the renting
of the hotels, their disposition for the
Queens occupation, and all other de-
tails are in the hands of Mr.. Dose, the
Queens courier. He is the successor to
Kanne and quite as able man.
The rent of the two hotels at Ccste
belle was fixed at 10000 francs for four
weeks, and if her Majesty remained five
weeks then co. 900 francs were to be paid.
If the Queen had stopped only four
weeks, III. Peyron, the proprietor, would
have been the loser by his bargain.
AS it was even he made no profit, be-
canse the hotels Ermitage and Costebelle
are always full at this period of the sea-
son-it is their harvest time just when
visitors are leaving the Riviera resorts
further east; as they stop at Hyeres and
Costebelie Ell route to England-and he
had to spend large sum of money in
laying out the grounds, repairing and
decorating and otherwise making the
place to the Queens liking. The Queens
chef does his own buying, SO that the
| hotel proprietor makes nothing out of
the food supplied, and altogether Her
Majesty can scarcely be called prof.
BILE client
That is for the time being. AS re-
claim, however, she is gold itself. The
hotel at Grasse, for instance, is now
| crowded.
Then as to the cost of the special train.
This is in the hands of DR.. Mosse also.
He has to arrange with the dlfferent
railway companies as to the most sulta-
BILE times for the trains to pass over their
systems and so that there shall be
'sclear line" He pays some representa-
tive of each company, who waits upon
him at one of the principal stations en-
route, as Her Majesty prefers to have no
outstanding accounts.
The cost of the special from Cherboura
to Hyeres was about $4,000, that from
Hyeres to Darmstadt, Fl, 800, and from
Darmstadt to Flushing about fl, 900 will
be paid.
And to this the cost of living for the
Queen and suite of nearly 100 persons, OF
gas, heating and lighting, hire OF car
riages, the Queens special laundry, con
veyance of her horses, carriages, and
stablenen, to and from Windsor, and
the total cost of the six weeks spent
abroad amounts to nearly f1,0OO.
Great precautions are always taken
en- route during the passage OF the roya
train for the safety of Her Majesty LIZ
addition to skilled engineer, who trav
els with the driver and often drives the
train, there is a special man in the tralr
whose duty it is to examine all the car
riages, and especially the Queens sa
looms, at every stoppage to see that there
is no heating of the axles, that the
wheels are sound and the like.
This man is kept always in the service
of the Queen, and when she is not tray
cling. he resides at Brussels in order tt
keep the carriages in proper order.

A New Industry

G. E. c. in the Rural New Yorker.
While at the Elmira Fair | noticed q
collection of canned fruits, which in
variety, co'or and general appearance
was the finest | had ever seen. The
whole exhibit was so lastly arranged
and everything so clean that it attracted
immediate attention. The owner kindly
gave me the following history of the ORR
gin of the business:
"Several years ago was employed as
ing establishment in an Eastern city.
Ny health was failing, which meant loss
of life, or at Least of position and salary.
Ny children had nothing congenial to
do | concluded to move, and came to
Webb's Mills, NY. We commenced
by growing small fruits and vegeta-
bles, but had no experience and had
to learn as we went along. The poor
quality and appearance of the fruits and
vegetables in tin cans attracted my att
tention and suggested a way to dispose
of our surplus fruit. A few quarts of
different kinds of berries were canned
fresh from the vines. The lightning
glass cans were used and are still
our choice. They are more expensive
than some other kinds, but they are of
heavy glass and are easily sealed. No
one but the fruit>grower's wife knows
the aroma of fruit canned before the
varish leaves the berry, because she
only can get fruit in such condition.
Those who can buy cheaper than they
can grow berries, get the form but not
the flavor. Strawberries will lose color
and the aroma in the short time it takes
to deliver them at the depot, mile and
ahalf away.
1.-THE sample cans, wherever placed,
created a market and demand for
more. No one seemed to be catering to
the wants of wealthy people who wanted
healthy, delicious, clean fruit for table
use every day in the year. Our success
with the first lot was such that we in
creased our facilities for canning until
everything grown on the farm is dis
posed of in this way. The work is all
done by the family-wife and two chill
dren and myself. This insures perfect
cleanliness, perfect fruit and perfect
flavor.
1--WE now have customers in all parts
of the country, who order from us their
entire supplies of canned goods for the
year. Many orders had to be refused,
because our entire supply was sold.''
Sweet corn, green peas, cucumbers,
currents, fruits, jams and jellies are put
up in glass cans within two hours of the
time of picking. All fruits are preserved
in heavy sirups, are ready for use with
out further preparation, and free from
acids The best granulated sugar is used
The average price, as taken from their cir
cular, is 81 per dozen. A rebate OF $1.5O
is allowed for the return Of the empty
cans
Mr.. Bradbury is now in perfect health.
has beautiful home and a handsome
income. The son and daughter receive
from their share of the income good
wages, and have congenial, pleasant
work.
II do not like to think of what we
might be had we remained in the city.
The read ing of good papers and acting
on their suggestions have been the foun-
dation of our suuess," said he.

RETURNED IN CHAINS.

He'd ~ tn, tho Glendale RObber, Taken

suicide.
ST LOUIS, Feb 1S.-The Four Courts
was the scene of greater excitement
yesterday and last night than at any
time since the Maxwell trial Marion
Hedspeth, the famous outlaw, was
brought in loaded with chains. and
dragging his weary feet along with
painful effort lie wore what are tech
nically known as ''Oregon boots"-in-
auisitional contrivances which render
rapid walking or escape impossible.
Adelbert Slye and Mrs. Maggie Heds-
peth also came in for share of public
curiosity. They were taken to Clayton
in the morning and placed on trial in
the county court Slye's plea was
~.guilty." Sentence was deferred by
Judge Edward. It is believed that Slye
will turn states evidence. Mrs Heds-
peth excited the sympathy of the crowd
when the court continued her case
owing to her i'll health, fixed her bond
ut 81, 900 and finally released her, with
her attorneys as sureties; the poor
woman was the recipient Of an ovation
from the audience in the court room.
and a number of ladies, representing
the first families of the county, enthusi-
astica!ly embraced and kissed her.
The most important incident in day
full of criminal history was the at
tempted suicide Of Mrs Hedspeth. The
general public knew nothing of the
terrible scenes enacted in the gloomy,
forbidding cell of the prisoner during
the early hours of the day. In the
course OF the night Mrs. Hedspeth's
.cellmate, Laura Maddox. who was ar
rested for shop-lifting, was awakened
by loud cries aud heart-brealxing
means She found Mrs. Hedspeth
hanging by the neck from an iron bar
and reaches her just in time to save
her life. Mrs Hedspeth was half
crazed with grief at the time and later
on regretted making the attempt 10
take her own life.
