HOKE ON HORSEBACK.
The Only Member of the Cabinet
Who Likes the Exercise.

Washington Special In \ ew YORK Times.
"Hoke Smitn is coming on horseback"
The White House attendant who seut this
starting piece Conformation flying through
the corridors of the executive mansion
about II o'clock this morning had just
caught sight of the tall form Of the Seere-
tary Of the Interior, mounted on a big bay
horse. coming along Pennsylvania avenue.
By the time the Secretary had turned his
steed into the White House grounds, the
windows of the mansion framed many
faces whose owners were enjoying the I'M
usual sight Of n Cabinet officer coming to
Cabinet meeting in this old-fashioBed
manner.
Mr.. Smith came up at a smart gallop and
showed that he was thoroughly at home in
the saddle. lie wore a black Prince Albert
coat, with dark trousers, which were pre-
vented from "hitching up" by straps
passed beneath his shoes. A silk tile was
| on his head, and it did not deyiate by a
| fraction eff an inch from the perpendicu-
lar. Two colored men were ready to hole
| the horse when he stopped in the porte
| cochere. and Mr. Smith dismounted.
| brushed the dust from his garments and
walked briskly TO the Cabinet room. When
| the meeting was over he rode back TO his
office.
The appearance of Mr.. Smith on horse
! back recalled to many who saw him the
| early days of Mr.. Cleyeland's first admin
istration, when lie carriages of the Cab-
! net officers were discarded on the score of
economy, and the officials went to the
! Cabinet meetings il the way which
seemed most convenient to them. At that
time Secretary Lamar, VINO had been used
to horses all his life, caused a ripple of ex-
element to roll over the town by taking TO
| the saddle in his frequent trips to the
| White House from his department.
Mr. Smith is tine only member Of Mr..
! CleYeland's present Cabinet who loves to
bestride a horse. He lately brought his
! faVorite saddler from Georgia, anc will
soon be familiar figure on the avenues of

| Before the meeting of the Cabinet a
number of people from various parts of
the country saw Mr.. Cleveland. Soon
after Mr. Catchings emerged from the

! Of Harry Il. Kahn of Mississippi to be
! Collector OF Customs for the District OF

Why All Foam Is White.

The question as 20 why IL foam is white
is not an easy one to understand, but the
fact is that foam is always white, what
ever may be the color of the beverage
itself. The froth produced on a bottle of
the blackest ink is white, and would be
perfectly so were it not tinged to a certain
extent by Particles OF the liquid which the
bubbles hold in mechanical suspension.
As to the cause of this whteness it Is suffi-
cient 10 say that it is due 10 the large num-
Der Of rejecting surfaces formed kby the
foam, for it is these surfaces which, by re-
fleeing the light, produce upon our eyes
the impression of white. ii We remem Der
that all bodies owe their col0rs to the rays
of light which they cannot absorb, and all
bodies which reflect all the light they re-
ceive, without absurb bling any, appear PEI
fectly white. we shall be prepared to I'M
derstand how The multitude Of rejecting
surfaces formed by the foam, and which
10 not absorb any light. must necessarily
give the froth white appearance. 1t is
for the same reason that any very fine
powder appears white. even the blacklist
marble, when ground to dust. losing every
trace Of its original color,

renaissance just before it merged into the
rocco style. The notches were still as
intricate as they used to be in the Gothic
period. and actually correspond with the
wards or projecting ridges of metal in the
interior Of the locks. so as to prevent any
other key being used in which the notch
did not fit the wards.
With the Introduction of the box lock,

fury. the no longer visible upper parts of
the lock, as well as the notches of the key
Bit were more or less neglected, and the
latter became merely ornaments, with no
wards to correspond. During rocco times
the bows became ornamental in the style
of the period. With the beginning of the
present century the locksmiih's art gradu-
ally declined, and only revived for short
interval about sixty years ago. when orna-
mental steel keys became fleeting fash
Ion. After this locks and Keys were pro-
duced by machinery, with hardly any trace
OF decoration. Quite recently repeated
attempts have been made to introduce orna-
mental keys for cabinets, Baskets. etc, and
the designs published for this purpose in
various technical journals abroad deserve
every attention. They are copied and
adapted from the best models of the re-

THE SMALL BOY.
How lie Terrified His Sisters Fellow
and Earned a Spanking.
Utica Observer.


A recent escapade Of one Of the genus
small boy will bear telling. AS is usually
the case, this one had 4 sister who is quite
easily plagued and he knew it. She also
had hest fellow that be did not like, but
did not dare tell him so outright. II hap
Iened that the best fellow WAS in tie habit
of calling often and early and OF staying
late. His coming was the sigual for the
youngster to vacate the parlor and hustle
off tn bed. This of course he did not like
at all. One evening not long ago the best
fellow came and the young brother was
compelled to retire, but not without much
grumbling and a few tears. He could not
sleep. On his dresser an alarm clock licked
merrily away. and rs he listened an idea
struck him that quickly evolved itself into
scheme for getting square with his sister
and her caller.
Jumping out Of bed he grasped the clock
aud from oae OF his many well-flled pockets
brought forth long string, which he at
tached to 1t. On a sheet of paper be
scrawled something and attached the paper
TO the clock. Then setting tie alarm so
that 1t would ring at the expiration of FIVE
minutes he tip-toed into the 'front.' chamber,
which was directly over the parlor where
his sister was entertaining the caller. In
the floor Of this chamber was a
register, but as there was no pipe
connected with it at the time the young
scallawag could see into the parloT. eau
tiousiy lie raised the register out, and Just
as cautiously BIO let the clock down
through behind the loving and unsus-
pecting couple. just as it reached the
floor the alarm went of with rush and a
whirr that was startling. The youngster
heard shrill scream from his sister aud "A
hoarse yell from the young man, but did
not wait to watch further developments,
and scuttled off to bed. When the noise
had subsidized the innocent cause OF the
c0mmotion was picked up and examined.
1t bore the significant inscriptions: Its
time to go hnam." Il did not state the
time that he was spanked, but he was Just
the same
