PRESIDENTIAL ADJUSTMENTS.
Thoroughly Typical of the Race White
House Pets.

Even. the president of the United
States, who ordinarily is one Of the
hardest-worked men in the country,
must play sometimes, or he would not
be able to work so much. Every pres
ident has his favorite recreation, and
as the American president is the
chosen representative Of a great An
glo-Saxon nation, it is not surprising
to find that presidential recreations
are thoroughly typical Of the race.
That is to say, nearly ell the presi-
dents like to hunt and fish and drive
horses. Among recent presidents,
Gen. Arthur Gen. Harrison and Mr..
Cleveland all sought recreation in
hunting and fishing-Mr. Cleveland
being the most inveterate fisherman
of them all. Mr.. Mckinley does not
spend much time hunting, but he is
fond of driving and likes to hold the
reins over a spirited team.
Mr.. Cleveland did not drive himself
But although he was not especially
fond of horses, he delighted in dogs
and cats. A Washington correspond
ent says that the white house was
never so full of animal pets as during
Mr.. Cleveand's administrations. He
had several dogs, and so many cats
that the rats and mice which had long
overrun the white house were almost
exterminated.
Now the rats and mice have come
back. Mr.. Mckinley, the same cor
respondent says, does not Ike either
dogs or cats. There is not a single dog
about the white house and only one
cat The cat belongs to privileged
old doorkeeper, who has been in the
white house since the days Of Presi-
dent Lincoln. The animal is not al
lowed to roam elsewhere than in the
kitchen and laundry.
Some little time ago President Nc
Kinley was presented with a ncble
Russian bloodhound-an animal of
a very kindly breed. But the presi-
dent feeling that he had DO use for
the dog, caused it to be Grated up care
fully and sent back to the donor

What Lord wolseley Has to Say About
Well-Dressed Soldiers.

Lord Wolseley places much value
in the personal appearance of our SOL
diers and believes in having them well
and smartly dressed.
"The soldier" he says, in his Peck
etbook, SIS a peculiar animal that can
alone be brought to the highest eff
cheney by inducing him to believe he
belongs to a regiment which is in
fnitely superior to the others about
him. In their endeavors to foster this
spirit, colonies are greatly aided by
being able to point to some popularity
IN dress or title, and for this reason it
is most unwise to take from a regi-
ment any device or popularity Of any
sort in which the men take a pride.
at is not easy al any time to make
On Englishman look like a soldier.
He is fond Of longish hair and uncut
whiskers. Men who have never worn
boards are apt to think that to wear
one saves a good deal of trouble. On
service discipline deteriorates when
but little attention is paid to dress and
when the men wear almost what they
like.
allowance under all circum-
stances must be made for men who
march daily. They cannot be expect
ed to be shaved and have their clothes
as well brushed as in barracks; but
without wearying or in any way bully
ing them great deal may be done by
officers acting upon q good system.
Make a man proud Of himself and his
corps and he can always be depended
upon.

are the noblest that ever fell to mans
lot. He must be taught 10 despise all
those Of civil life. Soldiers, like mis-
sionaries, must be fanatics. Lon

Making a Billiard Ball.

IT requires skilled labor to turn out
a billiard ball. One-half Of it is first
turned, an instrument Of the finest
steel being used for the work. Then
the half-turned ball is hung up in
a net and Is allowed to remain there
for nearly year TO dry. Next the
second half is turned, and then comes
the polishing, Whiting and water
and good deal Of rubbing are requi-
site for this. 1t is necessary in the
end that the ball shall, to the veriest
fraction Of grain, be Of a certain
weight. .

ATTACKED BY AN EAGLE
Rare Adventure Met With by Mr.. Turn
er-Turner.

Rare Adventure Net With by Mr.. Turn
er-Turner
Most readers must have felt doubts
as to the stories Of eagles attacking
men, even when their nests were be-
ing robbed, but an instance of such an
attack, made in the open and not near
a nest, occurred to Mr.. TurnerlTur-
ner, well-known sportsman and
amateur fur hunter in British Colum-
bia. During an expedition into north
British Columbia, says Cornhill, he
had been trying unsuccessfully to get
a shot at a band of caribou. Seeing
an eagle in the distance he stood still
to watch it, as he had not seen one in
the neighborbood where he was shoot
ing.
'The ground was covered with six
inches Of snow, except on the SUBMITS
Of the mountains, where it was deep
err" writes Mr.. Turner-Turner, "and
l was therefore a conspicuous object,
Presently was surprised to see how
close the bird was approaching, but
concluded that it must have mistaken
me standing still for a stump, and
would Immediately discover its error.
It never deyiated from its course or
changed its position, except to drop
its legs slightly when about ten yards
off and in line with my head. These
it quickly drew up again, flying d.
rectly at my face, which so took me by
surprise as to leave me hardly time to
throw up my rifle as a guard and to
wave my left hand. This caused the
eagle to pass above me with rush Of
half dczcn rockets. Up to this time
the thought of harming the bird never
occurred to me. But / then faced
about and fred at my retreating foe.
Then with a rapid wheel it turned to
renew the attack, this time making
an undoubted and intentional swoop
at my head, in which it would have
been successful had / not suddenly
ducked. 1t was not common bald
eagle, but, as l afterwards learned,
mountain or golden eagle"

Clothes for Cold Weather.

People who are susceptible to the
cold should make a point of wearing
loose clothing in cold weather.
Loose garments are always warmer
than tight-ftting ones, but only be-
cause they allow room for circulation,
but because they permit OF layer of
air between the skin and the outside
world.

BOer Capital Invested By British

The British army under Lord Rob.
erts took possession of Pretoria, the
Trsnsvsal capital, at 2 o'clock on
Tuesday, just eight months after war
was declared. The news was receiv-
ed throughout Great Britain with the
noisiest demonstrations, and the gen.
eral belief is that hostilities will at
once be ended. The only mrening
feature of the days news was a dis
patch from Lord Roberts that an Irish
battalion of the Imperial Yeomanry
had been overwhelmed by Beers at
Lindley and forced to surrender.
