and under the private secretary, Mr..
Sidney Webster, he prepared great
dinners. There was no such thing as
stint in the cost, nor was there useless
waste. Mr.. Snow seemed to have the
knack of knowing just what would
please all, and as the president en-
deavored during the session to have
each member of congress at his table
once, in addition to distinguished Off
GERS of the government, the tastes were
varied. The president was extremely
careful that none should be sighted,

Poor Nellie Grant," That is the
way people talk of the daughter of the
great civil war soldier who married an
| Englishman, went abroad-and suf-
| fered. She is still beautiful to look
upon, and undoubtedly has too much
sense to enter upon another matrimon-
ial venture. She is popular in society
and deservedly so, for she is exceeding
ly clever and entertaining. Her expert
ence in life has taught her that our So
journ here is daily tragedy or a roar
| ing farce comedy, according to our abil~
ity to give it the proper stage settings
and to bring about us company suited
to our talents. Nellie Grant wants no
more of the tragic, but is seeking con-
stantly the sunny side of terrestrial
existence-and finding it, too.
Little Mollie Garfield married Stanley
Brown, the private secretary of her dis
t;nguished father. She never cared
much for the butterfly side Of life and
hence never shone much in society.
Her young life was shrouded by the
dreadful tragedy which bereft her of
her father. She was a very lovely little
girl in the white house, and must have
been a much-sought belle if her father
had lived. But upon reaching matur-
ity she married and settled down in to
a quiet matronly home life.
Baby Mckee, that boisterous little
kid of the Harrison administratio is
now boy about IL years of age, and
will soon be a man. If his grandfather
or any of his mature relatives kept or
caused to be kept scrap-book of clip

life in the white house, it will I'M
doubtedly prove to be very interesting
TO him as he develops into manhood
and, in fact. during his entire life.
The three little innocents of the
Cleveland family have gone away; and
none of them, not even the eldest, was
mature enough to appreciate the honor
of her environments. To the fortunate
man-thrice nominated and twice
elected president of the United States
who in his later years married a win
some young woman, and became the ia
ther of these lovely children, we can
say: "Here's to your good health
and your family's-and may they all
live long and prosper"

Meat Eating and HaIdness.

Rustics who live On bread and milk
diet nearly always have heavy hair to
an advanced age, while people who
lurch and dine on meat rarely have
after rs. The italian parliament, for
instance, shows an unrivaled collection
of billiard ball heads, while the Italian
peasants always rejoice in heavy
growths of hair. Brittany peasant men
have hair almost as long and heavy
as their wives. A very clever and we'll
known doctor claims that meat eating
and badness go together, and he has
often checked cases of falling hair by
combining with local treatment diet
OF milk, eggs and fruit. After all, the
most simple method of caring for the
hair are the best. Daily brushing until
the scalp is clean and kept free from
dandruff, with very little washing with
harsh soaps, etc, that will irritate the
scalp. And often hair that is thin and
poor in quality may be made thick and
glossy by this systematic care.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

Lew Wilmot, who lives almost any
where in the state of Washington, is a.
westerner of the old type. He tells
about fooling wolves by initiating their
cries.
"One Sunday morning." he writes,
while we were mining on the Clear
water, along about the 1st of May,
took my revolver and went over to the
cabin of my partners and proposed that
we go to the hills and kill some grouse.
While going up the hill we saw a very
big VOLTS frAh track in the trail we
We're climbing. The trail forked, one
branching up the river, the other turn
ing back into the hills. We stopped,
wondering what wolf could be doing
in that part of the country at that time
of the year. Suddenly the beast began
to howl, and shivers crawled along my,
back-they always do when hear a
wolf howl. When the sound died away
I Knocked it, and was answered with
quick vigor. Again I answered it. r
told the boys if we would wait the beast
would come, but they laughed at me,
and we went on after grouse. The wolf
howled back to our left after we got
to hunting, and was plainly looking
for its mate. We went to a small mound
sat down and howled in a low voice,
because I feared it would notice the
deception. 1t did not answer, but pref

small brush.
'As it ran along on a fallen, rotten
pine tree shot it with my revolver and
over It went. We ran up and found it
badly wounded, and, wolflike, sulking.
Its skin made pretty good rug.
"Awhile after that I was going from
Mount Oregon one morning on a cayuse,
when big wolf came into the trail
and kept on before me, turning to the
left after awhile where I had to go to
the right. Invent on a way, got off my
animal and howled to see what would
happen. An answer came back quick
and long, and, though I knew I was
perfectly safe, I felt lonesome with the
dread a VOLTS howl gives me. I started
on after bit, and on reaching the di-
vide looked back, and there was a wolf
on my trail. I kept on till came to
thicket, bowling once in awhile in a
way that made the wolf follow, though
suspiciously. When was half through
the brush I dismounted and crawled
back. When the wolf came to the edge
of che brush pulled on him with my
revolver and over he went, shot through

There was death in the white house
during Gen. Taylor's term. The only
colored person about the house was the
valet who had been with him in Mexico,
and whom he had brought from the
plantation. The valet did not seem to
be at home, and had desire to return
to the plantation. He died rather sud-
denly and the general had post NOR

might be set at rest, for the colored
man was not very popular with the

a Race OF keepers.

In Southwestern France, in
Bearn and the Basque Province,
live the Cagots, a people who are
the descendants Of lepers. For
centuries they have lived apart
from their neighbors-their little
houses, called "chrestiaas," and
the peculiar cancerous odor about
them warning away the strangers.
Thanks to. the greater intelligence
OF the present age, the old preiu-
dice which prevented effort toward
improving their condition is fast
dying out. As a result the scourge
is gradually disappearing, and
year by year the chrestiaas of the
Cagots become fewer and fewer.
In the old days each Cagot's
shoulder was marked with a
bright red sign, representing a
hand disfigured by leprosy. They
were not permitted to enter a
church but by special door, nor
to approach the common holy
water basin, having one for their
sole use. Once one of these Ca
gots who dared dip his fingers in
to the holy water tank of his
healthy brethren was punished by
having his hand nailed to the
church door for several DAYS.
