WHITE HOUSE FAvORiTeS.
Flowers That Have Been Popular with
the Wives of Presidents.

Flowers That Have Been Popular with
the Wives of Presidents.
The ladies of the white house have
always been much interested in the
beautiful flowers grown either in the
grounds or conservatories of the fine
old mansion, and each has shown a de-
cided admiration for some particular
flower. Mrs Hayes was extremely
fond of rose and apple geraniums, SO
much so that special house was de-
voted to the cultivation, for her, of
these old-fashioned, fragrant plants.
For the short months during which
Mrs. Garfield held sway, her prefer
ence was for orchids. Afterwards, in
President Arthur's time, when the
white house was bachelors establish
ment, there was no lack of apprecia-
ton for the flowers, though President
Arthurs liking was more for decora-
tive plants, and he took the greatest
delight in arranging and rearranging
the ferns and palms in the different
rooms. In fact, it often happened tina.
after the gardeners had spent an after
noon in decorating the entire house.
they would often find the next morn.
ing that the president had amused
himself by changing everything com
pletely, to obtain unique and pleasing
effects in the combinations of color
and foliage.
When Mrs. Cleveland was first in the
white house her greatest favorites
were pansies, and huge beds were
grown for her personal pleasure, their
soft hues of purple, bronze and gold
showing in masses under her windows.
Though these are still prime favorites
with her, she now has fancy for tho
cape jasmine, which is extensively
grown.
Mrs. Harrison's preference was de-
cidedly for the orchids, and she took
so great an interest in the collection
that it was enlarged at her request.
During the very exacting life which is
the lot of the mistress of the white
house, china-painting was almost her
only diversion, and she used some OF
the finest orchids as models, making
artistic reproductions of them with her
clever brush.-Demorest's Magazine

While watching for shot at deer
near derrick one fall, noticed
huge yellow jackets st hanging
from the limb of an ironwood sapling,
not far from tree l had climbed up.
A little before sunset l saw fine buck
making his way toward the lick. AS
he approached the yellow jackets nest
/ noticed movement in the foliage
overhead, and the next instant cata-
mount plunged headlong through the
leaves and landed on the bucks neck.
The buck stumbled, but soon got on
his feet, and the catamount, who had
struck the limb to which the yellow
jackets nest was attached, sprang off
and began to root and tear in the un-
dergrowth, for the disturbed insects
had poured out and were singing it
numerically. The buck dashed away
out of sight like streak, and from the
way he snorted l judged that some of
the angry hornets had got at him also.
The catamount ran up beech tree
and leaped from one treetop to an
other till it couldn't go any further,
when it tumbled to the ground,
wounded to death by the sting of the
yellow jackets.--N. I. Tribune.

Pun-BaIls Good to Eat.

Probably you have all noticed the
little white puff-balls in spring, and
"shot off, the same in autumn, when
they are dry and full of dark powder.
This is one of our choicest eatable
mushrooms. One ad mirer says he cut
slice from giant puff-ball, which
grew near his home, every day for a
week, and had so many fresh fritters:
whereas, if he had cut it all down the
first day, it would not have made near
ly so many delicious meals. One giant
puff ball, when young and creamy, II
well cooked, will satisfy the appetites
of twelve people. In olden times
slices of this mushroom were used tc
bind up cuts, and were said to insure
their speedy healing. In the days oil
flint and steel, before matches were in.
vented, the powder of the dried puff
balls was often used to catch and hold
the sparks. Another strange use tc
which it was put was to burn it befors
a bee hive. The fumes made the bee,
drowsy, and the honey could be re-
caoved without difficulty. -Margare,
Leighton, in St Nicholas.

TEACHING TEMPERANCE.
Time to Save People from Drinking In
toxicants Is Before They Begin.


toxicants Is Before They Begin.
Rev. DR.. Cuyler has a characteristic
article in the April number of the Ma
tional Temperance Advocate calling
upon public school teachers to make
the most of the law requiring that in
the public schools the pupils shall be
instructed in regard to the effects of
alcoholic stimu!ants upon the human
body. He says the time to save peo-
pie from drinking intoxicants is before
they begin. The time to teach the
simple A B of abstinence from dead
ly drinks is in childhood and youth.
A whole generation is coming on the
stage who must be saved now, if they
are ever saved at all. And you are the
persons who can do this if you have
the heart and the will to undertake the
labor of love. Many boys in our pub
lie schools learn nothing about the ma
ture or the danger of alcoholic bever-
ages in their own homes" In this con-
nection, it may be stated that bill has
passed the New York state legislature
10 secure the better and more strict en-
forcement of the law requiring scien-
titic instruction in temperance in the
public schools of this state.

NEW ZEALAND SUBSIDY.
Bonus Given to Secure Semi
Monthly Canadian Service.

A dispatch from Wellington,
New Zealand states that the govern
ment of that colony has decided to
subsidize a line Of steamers to Van
couver, B. c., to the amount of
100000. A bill has also been in
troduced in the House of Represen-
tatives there, proposing co-opera-
ton with the Dominion government
in a submarine cable project.
Regarding the proposed steam
ship subsidy, II. Stephenson Smith,
resident agent at San Francisco
for the New Zealand government,
says:
think the idea is simply to con-
tribute toward the Canadian steam
ship service, and not, as the dispatch
might indicate, to subsidiZe any indie
pendent line of steamers. It will not
affect the San Francisco service at all.
At present the Oceanic line receives
subsidies from the United States, New
Zealand and New South Wales gov
ernments, but no subsidy has hereto
fore been paid to the Canadian line.
The former line has the steamers
Mariposa and Alameda, touching at
Auckland, New Zealand, on the way
to Sydney, and calling at Apia and
Honolulu both ways.
The steamers of the Canadian line
running between Australia and Van
couver, B. c., are the Warrimoo and
Miowera, neither of which call at any
New Zealand port.
The object of subsidizing the Cana
dian line is, doubtless, to induce it's
steamers to call there and thus secure
a semi monthly service, with the San
Francisco and Vancouver lines alter

Magnificent War Vessel.

A letter from Captain H. c.
Cochrane says the Olympia will
leave San Francisco for the China
station about the Goth instant, and
as it is the intention of Captain J.
J. Read, her commander, to make
a swift run-less than a week-the
cruiser may be expected in Homo

A more magnificent war vessel
than the Olympia will be hard

James Horsburgh, Jr, assistant
general passenger and ticket agent
of the Southern Pacific Company,
has returned from trip to Homo
lulu. Mr.. Horsburgh went to the
islands partly for pleasure and large
ly for business
A few years ago, it will be remem-
bered, the Pacific Mail and the Occi :
dental companies, made a compact
with the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany regarding the handling of pas
senger traffic from the islands. The
Southern Pacific is largely interested
In seeing the business brought to
San Francisco, as the roads passen-
ger earnings for many years have been
materially argumented by the patron
age of the island tourists. Within
the past year or two, however, this
once profitable business has been
dropping off. The China trade
suffered such a severe curtailment as
result of the competition of the
Canadian Pacific's line of steamers
that few months ago the Southern
Pacific and the Union Pacific united
with the two steamer lines plying be-
tween here and the Orient, and sent
T. d. Mckay to Yokohama to open
an Office. Mckay has since been
ticketing passengers through to
Chicago from Yokohama, Hongkong
and other Oriental ports, though he
has never succeeded in re establish
ing the prestige possessed by the
Pacific Mail and the Occidental and
Oriental when they had a monopoly
of the business.
The trouble in Honolulu is the
same as that experienced in the
Orient, and the compact made with
the Spreckels line was effected to
counteract the bad influence of COM
petition. Things have rapidly been
going from bad to worse, however,
and the purpose of Mr.. Horsburgh's
trip was to see what could be done
to bring more traffic to this city.
It is said that the Southern Pacific
is dissatisfied with the manner in
which Spreckels' agent at Honolulu
is attending to business.
"There can be no disputing the
fact that the Canadian line is getting
away with the trade" said L. IL.
Goodman, the Southern Pacific gen
eral passenger and ticket agent, yes
terday. "The Canadian Pacific line
has come in there and cut the rates,
and is naturally getting the patron
age Of the islanders. Mr.. Hors
burgh went down there to see few
people and find out what could be
done. Just what we will do, how
ever, is something we are not at pre-
sent able to decide"
1t is known that while Mr.. Eors-
burgh was in Honolulu he approach
ed a number of people to determine
the advissbility of breaking the COM
pact with the Spreckels line, and the
Inauguration of weekly service by
the Pacific Mail is said to be highly
probable.-S. f. Chronicle, Aug. 2.

Oklahoma Divorces Not Legal.

GUTHRIE (Ok. IT,, July 28.-The
suit to test divorces granted by the
Probate Judge of Oklahoma has been
decided by the Supreme Court ad-
versely to the Judges and the di-
vorces, the court affirming its former
decisions on the subject, denying the
right of Probate Judges to grant di-
v0rces and declaring all such null and
void and any subsequent marriages of
the parties Illegal. Hundreds of East
ern people who have secured divorces
from probate courts will be compelled
to have their cases retired.

Arms for the Hawaiian Said to be I'm
Route From the East.
TACOMA, Wash, July 26.-Six Cat
ling guns, intended for the use of the
Hawaiian rOyalists, are said to be en-
route to Puget Sound from one of the
Eastern States The Hawaiian Gov
ernment learned that they had been
ordered, and recently sent secret SER
vice agent here to intercept them.
This agent arrived last week and
gives his name as II. II Allan. He
bears credentials signed by high Off
cials of the republic. He told the
Northern Pacific officials that he did
not think they should carry contra
band articles over their road. They
smiled and said the road would haul
all freight offered.
If the guns arrive Allan Will notify
the customs authorities and ask them
to stop their shipment. His belief is
that they will be loaded aboard some
lumber schooner and shipped to Ha-
waii. He has employed a Seattle de-
tective to watch the Great Northern
there. Railroad men say they have
no knowledge of the guns. Allan
thinks the rOyalists are planning for
demonstration next september.
