A PLAIN HORSE.
Noted BY the Fact That 1t Lives In tho
Mhita Hnusa.

Noted BY the Fact That 1t Lives In the
White House.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
A horse has his home in the white house.
This is literal fact which visitors never
discover, and which few Washington peo-
pie know. The horse which shares the
executive mansion with the president is
not thoroughbred. He has neither pedi-
gree nor record. He is just plain, every.
day horse, with a white star in his fore
head. a faithful companion to Edgar II,
Beckley.
And who is Edgar r. Beckley? The man
who. for 20 years. has carried to and from
the white house all of the interesting and
valuable mail received and sent, and who
has never been found remiss in his duty.
There are men who seem bound to be-
come monuments of fidelity to routine
trusts. Beckley is one of them. Rain or
shine, in all seasons, he makes the hourly
trips between the white house and the city
postofiice. He is the white house mail
carrier. And the horse that has his home
in the white house carries Beckley. The
part of the mansion set apart for the
horse Is one corner of the conservatory. A
thin partition is all that separates the
roomy stall from the orchids. There is
just room enough for the stall and tenn
porary supply of feed, and the horse eats
and sleeps under the same roof with the
president of the United States.

a Curious Telephone.

81 have a most remarkable telephone
in my house, remarked resident of
the western addition. "Inoticed that at
times l could hear very distinctly the
conversation in the next house. Sudden
~ it would be broken off short in the
middle Of sentence, and I could not
hear another word It would become au-
dible again just as suddenly.
''By SEXES of experiments 1 have
found out that the sound is conducted
by the water running through the pipes.
When the water is turned on in my
house, 1 can hear all the conversation
in any OF the rooms next door in which
there is running water. When I turn off
the water, all sounds stop suddenly.
Il told my neighbor of it, and we
have put it to practical use. When 1
wish to speak to him, tap on the win
dow, he tnrns ON the water in his house
and listens while talk to him over the
water pipe i'll an ordinary tone of voice.
When have finished, he turns off the
water III his house, and turn it on in
mine and listen. In that way we can
carry on long conversations with as
much ease as if he were i'll the room
with me. Still our houses are about 20
feet apart. San Francisco Post.

Careful With Tea.

AS q rule, it IS only among the pros
porous that one finds the pet meanness.
Tho poor haven't time to develop fads
of any kind; they never have much of
anything, bat they give of their little in
a way that puts their richer neighbors
to blush.
Tho most amusing instance l can re-
call of the effect of a suddenly acquired
fortune upon a pet meanness is that told
by an English author about an old wom
IN in an almshouse, who came into
million by chancery decision that had
been pending 100 years. She bought ev-
erytning that money could buy-silks,
velvets, laces, furs, estates, carriages,
horses, soidisant friends even. She
threw away her bank notes upon every
thing imaginable, in a kind of frenzy of
possession. But when it came to tea
she suffered, she debated, she chartered,
but she never could make up her mind
to buy and pay for, at any one time,
more than quarter of pound OF
good black Bohea.' She would have
felt beggared by pound of any tea at
any price; it had always been SO pre-
ciOus to her that she had lost all sense of
its intrinsic value. Perhaps it represent
ed to some extent the bright unattaina-
BILE, without which life has no zest.-
LippincOtt's
