AN OFFICIAL INTERVIEW.
Mr.. Cleveland Has a Short Talk
With the President.

P.-Good morning. You are
looking a little worried this morn
ing. You must take better care of
yourself. 1 don't know what the
country would do if you should
break down with this Congress on
your hands.
CT know it. 1t is this deep
sense of indispensability that
sometimes almost gives me tired
feeling. But this Hawaiian bust
ness annoys me. If it wasn't for
this COMPOUNDED Congress-
P.-O, well, you don't mind
Congress, I hope? 1 don't.
C.-Yet it is such a nuisance to
supervise it.
P.-I know. Servants are such
a care. But you must try and
bear it the best you can.
C.-Why, some of them Con-
gressmen actually have the impu-
dence to oppose my policy.
P.-What are we coming to
C.-And they have the cheek to
call themselves Democrats, too, the
stupid obstinate scoundrels.
P.-Well, I dunno, / sometimes
think that you and l are about the
only Democrats left, old man.
Cleft How left ? Who says
we're left? o, 1 see. Yes, but 1
can't expect everybody to under
stand things as well as / do. It's
this perpetual feeling of response
bility that makes me nervous.
Pr know just how you feel.
Sometimes when 1 put out my
bedroom candle at night, | thinks
to myself, great Scott, how dark
the world is now.
C.-Yes; I've had the same
thought. 1 remember just after
nv great message in 1887 [ was
putting on my shirt one morning,
and by thunder, sir, the sun rose
as soon as 1 had buttoned the top
button.
P.-Some of the newspapers, heb,
heb, seem to think we sort O toss
our shirts on this Hawaiian trou-
BILE.
C.-The newspapers ! Faugh
Damn the newspapers. If it wasn't
for the newspapers and Congress
P.-We could show 'em a policy
that would make their eyes stick
out.
C.-Newspapers or no newspa-
pers, Congress or no Congress, when
/ have taken a line of policy l
won't bulge. 1 am a sticker. |
know what's right. l know what's
good for the country.
P.-Td liketo know who does if
you don't.
C.-What am l here for? I'm
no errand boy; Pm the boss. See?
P.-They'll find that what you
say goes before they get through
with you.
C.-There's one thing you can
be a great help to me in.
If any of them Democratic
kickers come around asking
for an office for their constitu-
ents, you just keep on telling 'em a
fair exchange is no robbery. Cen
tlemen, a batch of Mr.. Cleveland's
opinions goes with each office.
Take the lot and we take your
votes. Is it bargain?
P.-Beautiful, beautiful. And
yet they say we haven't got any
. tact. 1 gness we can run about as
good diplomacy counter as any
of 'em.
Give do know thing or two.
We're no jays if we did come from
Buffalo. But the Hawaiian policy
is
P.-Sh-sh. (They whisper).
C.-Keeps 'em all agog, you see.
Nothing like mystery. l like to be
mysterious. 1 enjoy it.
P.-But Congress will be bowling
for the papers.
C.-Let 'em howl. l am respon-
sible to the American people, end
the American people have supreme
confidence in the rectitude of my
intentions and in the integrity of
my ratiocinations.

The renowned Florence Nightingale
we'll says, with regard to hospital
wards: "Window-blinds can always
moderate the light of light ward. but
the gloom of dark ward is irremedi-
able. The escape of heat from large
windows may be diminished by double
glass; for while we can generate
warmth, we cannot generate daylight
or the purifying and curative effect of
the suns rays" These remarks are no
less applicable to other rooms than to
hospital wards. Sunlight is, indeed,
the right arm OF oxygen. There
ought not to be dark room in any
human habitation. To have too much
sunlight for health is not possible. It's
extraordinary intensity under excep-
tional circumstances can always be
moderated as occasion may require, but
its plenary supply should always be pro-
vided for. OF artificial light, gener-
ally, it may be said that in all its
forms, except that of electricity, mas
much as it is produced by the combina-
tion of some compound of hydrogen
and carbon, previously volatilized or
brought into gaseous condition, it is
more or less injurious to the atmos-
phere, by consuming the oxygen and
emitting mephitic gases.-The Sani-

War in n For.

After the invention of SIM keless gun

something else to take its place, and
this has been done, but with the effect
that the smoke turns to the advantage
of our own troops. while it proves dis
astrous to the enemy In short, Prof.
Paul Riehm has invented a fog ball,
which on being fired at the enemy
produces fog before which that of

days." said Judgy Robert Campbell, as
he kept in out OF the wet at the South
ern recently. while at Wichita last
week one OF the citizens told me, We
are improving very fast; houses are
being moved into the city every day.
He referred to the fact that during
the mad and frenzied days OF the
Wichita boom streets with granitoid
ks were run away out into the
cornhelds of the prairie and handsome
villas were built several miles out of
town by the suddenly enriched popu-
lace, who imagined that their suburb

to its vast Improvement. The most
remarkable case OF house moving that
/ ever heard of was at Nauvoo, ILL.,
When the Mormons were driven out of
Missouri by al armed force they built
the town of Nauvoo on the banks Of
the Mississippi. Here they erected
their temple and constructed a thriv-
ing town. Then the Illinois people
arose, burned the temple, murdered
the prophet, Joseph Smith, and the
entire community fed to Utah. Men
nOnites from Russia came along and
bought the land. They had no use for
the $50 buildings in the town. They
wanted the land to plant vineyards up
on. They sold the houses to Mis-.
sourian by the name of Boyd for a
trife. The next winter he began to
put rollers under the houses, slid them
down the banks to the surfs ce of the
frozen river, and then slid and rolled
and pushed them six miles up the
river and founded the town of For

Odds and Ends.

IT is said that where the burning
thirst of a patient cannot be assuaged
by cracked ice or water a teaspoonful
of glyccrine will afford prompt relief.
You CAN procure dental floss from
any flrst-class drug store. Keep 1t

lists for regular use after each meal.
Nothing will so effectually remove
any foreign substance from the teeth.
To PREVENT the juice from pies
running over, thrust little tunnels of
white paper into the cuts on the top,
through which the steam may escape
and the juice boil up and then run
back into the pan again when it stops
cooking.

to have ones lips break out with cold

MOST cakes need a moderately hot
and some even cool oven. A good
old test is to put piece OF thick paper
into the oven, to shut up the door
and open it again after five minutes.
If the paper is OF light brown color

The love that survives the tomb
says Irving, Is the noblest attribute Of
the soul. II IL has woes, IL has like
wise its delights; and when the over
whelming burst of grief y lqlled into
the gentle tear OF recollection, then
the sudden anguish and convulsive
agony over the present ruins Of all we
most loved are softened away into PEN
sive meditations OF all that IL was In
the days OF its loneliness. Who Would
root such a sorrow from the heart?
Though it may sometimes throw q
passing cloud over the bright hour Of
gayety, or spread deeper sadness over
the hours OF gloom, yet who would ex-
change 1t for the song OF pleasure or
the burst of revelry? No; there il q
voice from the tomb sweeter than song;
there is q remembrance OF the dead
to which we turn even from the charm
of the living.

Slipshod Farming.

Slipshod farming doesn't pay.
Farmers should never leave tools in
the fields. Nothing is mole annoy
ing than to need machine and find
it out of order Among this style Of
farmers. their teams are usually in
keeping with their tools, half-fed
and stable poorly constructed. No
farmer can work successfully with
this state of things continually star
ing him in the face. and the hitches,
perplexities, and hind-ances result
ing from WORKOUT tools and half
fed teams will make him irritable
and in anything but a happy frame
of mind. The farmer who neglects
necessary repairs before spring comes
will be behind all the season. Never in
the history Of the world have farm
ers been required To be more wide
awake and progressive than now.
