adorned the high place of domestic and

many mansions be, and where the
weary are at rest.
The wife of President Harrison
buildcd and planned for a great Ameri
can future. II she had lived, her
dreams might have been realized. L,
is strange what events change and
shape the destinies of nations and Of
people. In 1899, during the presiden.
tial campaign which resulted in the de.
feat of Gen. Harrison for reelection &c
the presidency, the Grand Army of the
Republic held its annual encampment
in Washington city. IL Gen. Harrison
could have mingled with those veter.
ans, they might nave gone hence, and,
with their balance of power, caused his
reelection. AT that time he was con.
stantly at the bedside of his dying wife,
and could not even give the old soldier,
a public reception. He saw none OF
them. Ex-President Hayes was here,
and marched up Pennsylvania avenue
on foot with the old soldiers. 1t was
intended that President Harrison
should march beside him, leave the col.
umn at the white house, and there as
cend h reviewing stand, where al
the old soldiers could see him and cheer
him as they marched by. But he was at
her bedside, and never left her until she
had gone from him. and gone from
earth forever II she mad been well
then, and had lived, she might have
seen her ideal white house builded &C.
cording to the plans which she had sc
carefully outlined.
In the early days of the republic the
first occupant of the white house was
President Adams. His brilliant wife
found the apartments On the first floor
not even plastered, and held her first
reception in what is now the presi
dents Office on the second floor.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1895-09-05

The British troops burned the white
house in 1914, and for three years Pres
ident and Mrs. James Monroe occupied
rented buildings. When they returned
to the white house it was in a very
crude condition, still bearing some of
the marks of the vandals and marauders
called soldiers, who had desecrated it.
During the winter season of 1S32-3i
President Andrew jackson abandoned
all public receptions and state dinners
because the mansion was too small and
in every way inadequate to the dc.
mands of circumstances and conditions
for such entertainments.
And yet we have the same uuim.
proved white house for the use of our
presidents and their families until this
day. 1t is about time hat something
were done to change existing condi.
tons. The plan of Mrs. Harrison is an
excellent one and ought to be adopted
unless something better can be devised
by architectural experts. The present
white house is getting to be a popular
nuisance, both us a business Office and
as n residence for our presidents. 1t is
dwarfcd between the treasury and
state department buildings. 1t is an
architectural pigmy as compared with
the capitol building. 1t is as the house
of n butler or hostler as compared with
the homes and offices of the executive
heads of other nations. 1t is discredit-
nble to II people, and as soon as they
become familiar with that fact their
representatives will be required To take
suitable action. The plan of the wife
of President Harrison, as compared
with the picture of the original white
house, commands the consideration and
respect of all who understand the stu,
alton and environments of the presi-
dent and his family in the old mansion.

Glover Plants and Nitrogen.

The bacteria on the roots of the
clover plants which store up nitrogen
are more numerous and active when
the plant is young than when it is old,
and having the plant in the soil, it
would be best to let it remain there
until it was nearly mature, or until it's
active period of growth had passed.
Soon after crimson clover begins to
bloom it ceases to produce nitrogen.
With red clover it is different, because
it is a biennial; that is, provided the
borers and the clover seed nudge do
not destroy it. In recent years in cen
trail New York it is impossible to get
more than one crop from it on account
of the ravages of the root borer. The
second crop of red clover plowed under
when in bloom will be at the period
when its beneficial Influences have
measurably ceased. The first crop
should be cut for hay. The second
crop will be worth nothing for seed on
ccoun of the clover seed nudge.

SUN eITTERN AND THE kAoU.
An Interesting Little chat On Weird Bird

Very little has been recorded OF inc
habits of the sun bittern, 1t merely
having been stated that 1t resorts to
the underground found along the mud
dy banks of sluggish streams, where 1t
feeds upon insects and small fishes.
Newton. who has observed it in cap.
tivity at the gardens of the geological
society of London, says; 1T soon De-
comes tame, and has several times
made its nest and reared its young
1t has a plaintive, piping note, n II
Ordinarily walks with slow and pre-
else steps, keeping it's body in a hori-
zontal position, but at times, when ex'
cited, it will go through a series OF fan
tastic performances, spreading It's
broad wings and tail so as to display
their beautiful markings" These
sun bitterns were known full
ly three quarters of n century
or more to science before anything at
all akin to them was found; but when
the island of New Caledonia became
colonized, a bird there discovered, and
nowhere else. at last furnished an ally.
This was the kagu, mentioned above,
now described by ornithologists as
Rhinochetus jubatus. Externally he
kagu bears but little resemblance to
the sun bittern, though its internal
structure, which has been carefully
examined, proves the relationship.
Considerably larger than Eurypyga. it
has its head ornamented by a hanging
crest of long and soft feathers. Both
its legs, which are rather long, and its
beak, are of a livid red color. Its
ample wings are marked something
after the pattern seen in the sun
bittern, while it's chief body color
is a pale slate. shading lighter
below. Numerous transverse bars
embelish the tail. and these markings,
though far less distinct, are seen
on the wing coverts also. Ordinarily
it is u very passive bird, standing mo.
tionless for several minutes at a time,
when it will step off briskly for u short
distance, only to again assume its atti.
tude of rest. This is by no means, how
ever, the invariable behavior of this
extraordinary bird, for when aroused
by excitement it will even quite Guido
a sun bittern in its extravaganza and
fantastic 'show-off." Holding n of
it's wings or the extremity of its tail in
the most remarkable manner, it will
violently spin about in giddy dance,
the like of which is never performed
by n other known member of the
class AYES. Unfortunately, this ex-
tremely interesting type, it is now
said, is becoming rapidly exterminated

o YOUR HAIR.

Girls denote a feeble sense Of right
and wrong, gayety, vivacity, s~elf-confi'
dence.
COARSE, dark brown, uneven hair,
straight or crisp, small curls, means
innate vulgarity.
RAIG black hair growing coarse
and thick indicates more order and in
dustry than mental power.
HAIR and eyebrows differing in color
are said to mean untrustworthipess
They indicate race mixture and bespeals
a wavering, unsteady nature.
As A rule. smooth, fine, softly waving,
hair betokens gentleness, quietness,
neatness. Unduly sleek, straight hair
gives warning of %slyness. Hypocrisy.
FINE brown hair only accompanies
excellent minds and generally the
owner has intellectual tendencies.
Beautiful golden hair is rarely seen on
persons of a gross nature. Its owner
loves fine arts and possesses exquisite
sensibilities.
GLOSSY black hair inclined to wave
or curl means keen perceptions inc
usually a cautious, secretive nature.
Black hair in general shows ptolidity, IA
wiry constitution; and curly, coarse
black hair indicates i~rritability and
stupidity.
STRAIGHT hair indicates more power
to govern than curly hair. 1t accom
panies people who are straight, erect
in walking, whose bodies exhibit
straight lines and angles rather than
curves and who possess n mental char
acter to correspond.

Wheat Chan on the Floors.

One of the best uses for wheat chat
is to use it on the floor of the poultry.
house. 1t may be three or four inches
thick, and serves several purposes, the
first being TO keep the floor always
dry and clean, and the next is hat IL
chaff, the hens will work and search
industriously for the seeds. 1t is al.
ways fine, and is excellent for the
manur heap when the float is cleaned
OFF. Where wheat is grown, the chat
is the cheapest substance that can be
used, and in the winter it will serve
to keep the fowls warm by shutting
off drafts of cold air along the floor

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The iaany, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by nor, promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; e%ffectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

o HE POULTRY

WHOLE wheat is better for growing
fowls than corn.
THERE are few kinds of poultry that
pay better than guineas.
Do NoT allow the ducklings TO &c 10
the ponds until they are fully feath-
cred.
DRY, clean earth makes one of the
very best materials that car be used
in the nest boxes during the summer.
LINE will kill lice; 1t is a good disin-
fectant; it will purify the air; it will
make the poultry house clean and free
from verpin.
OATS stimulate without ~enervating
or ~fattening. They form a good ra-
ton to reduce the fat of hens that are
too fat to lay well.
FEATHER pulling is largely due to
idleness. 1t is most liable to occur in
az tive breeds that are kept confined
AID have little exercise.
THE only hens hat it will pay to
keep through the winter are those that
can be relied upon for winter layers OF
that are needed for breeders.
In raising poultry for market the
profit lies in Matching early, pushing
the chickens forward as much as pos
sible and marketing them early.
THERE never was a time when ca re.
full selection failed to give good re.
suits, especially when extra attention
is given to the selection of the male.
FEEDING wheat has n tendency to
produce a healthy growth, build UP
the muscular tissues and aid material
ly to cause the hens to lay plenty OF
rich eggs.
TURKEYS do not bear confinement
well, whether young or old. When
shut up they soon nope and droor
their wings and begin to fall off in
condition.
EGGsHELLs are good for the fowls,
but they should be crushed very fine
before feeding them. Otherwise YOU
may introduce the egg-eating vice into
the poultry yard.
GEESE cost very little if allowed the
liberty of the fields. with access to a
pond or stream. To attempt to make
them protitable without these advan.
tages will result in failure.
ONE great recommendation that the
larger breeds of fowls have over the
small ones is that the large me have
to stay where they are put, while the
small ones go where they please:
Ducks never have the cholera, rour
nor gapes; hawks will not touch them,
they lay more eggs that will hatch
better than hen eggs. With good feed,
ing they can readily be made to weigh
five pounds in ten weeks after hatch.
