Costly white House Fence.

Washington Dispatch IN Chicago Tribune.
People going past the White House have
noticed that the fence is receiving a coat
OF paint, and many a curious person has
stopped to talk with the workmen about
It. This fence Is a high iron structure
which was built around the grounds more
than atty years ago. Every year II re-
ceiyes the same treatment, and Il is In a
good state of preservation. The process Of
grooming In this case consists of Ecraping
and the application of a coat of paint The
laborers are employed by the day, and, as
is customary in such cases, they take a
stroke stop and answer questions look
up and down the street 10 see whether
there Is a car coming or going, and 80 pass
away the time. In this way the process
of painting the fence becomes a lengthy
one. II Is estimated that Il costs the gov
eminent $500 yearly 10 paint this barrier
as Il IL something over mile aropea the
White House lot. and, an this same pro-
cess has been gone through with year

JUDGE A MAN BY HIS MUsrAoHE.

studying the Way the Hair Grows.
Whether It be true or no. that the mus
tache is a safeeguide to character, here
are some pictures. rfroni Which, anybody
can tell in a moment what kind OF man
they are being introduced to simply by
studying his mustache.
No l. Not much reliance Is to be placed
upon the character of the man with a
mustache like this. Poor fellow, he is
possessed Of little principle, does not care
how he looks, is Irregular In his habits.
| lacks all reverence hates work and lives
merely for what pleasure he can find in
| life.
No 2. This is a busy man. with no time
for tri1es He is very prosaic, material
Iistic. solid and absorbed in business af-
fairs
No 3. He does not betray very praise
worthy characteristics His word is worth
very little; he cannot be depended upon,
for his opinions change with every zephyr
No. A. Here is the type of sad, mel
ancholy man, with a limited amount of
self-consciousness, who hardly knows his
own will, and requires an adviser at ev-
cry turn in life.
No. 5. This mustache indicates a man of
great determination. Its owner is most
charmed with himself, and need not be ex-
pected 10 manifest any great ueSrSe OF
conscientiousness.
No. 6. The man who wears a mustache
like this is extremely conceited, determin-
ed and less conscientious than the posses
sor of No. 5.
No. Z. Here at last is a man worthy Of
esteem. He is large hearted, witty, ten
der and true to those whom he calls eith-
er friends or loved ones.
No. 8. This mustache belongs to a man
of firm character. He is a thinker and
at the same time one who has the ability
to do what he decides should be done.
No. o. But here Is the mark OF a man
generally known a lady killer" He
is a bare-faced Gatterer. giddy and soul
less. One of whom to beware II you would
be happy.
No. 10. Rare as this mustachef may be,
II is the mark Of an exceptional man. He
possesses great will power, nothing can
discourage him. He Is talented ana proud,
but reverent. He knows his limitations,
but brooks no rival.

New York, Dec. 1-"Packing trunks for

a girl who earned good living as a

packing the trunks and her method was

to a pocket apron he had suspended
about his waist. The errand boy gave
the alarm and followed the man in his
flight. The robFer jumped trolley
