WHITE HOUSE TREASURES.
Description OF Artistic Furniture and
Bric-a-Brac Collected by
the Presidents.

"The Art TREASURES of the White
House" is the title of an article in Won
ans Home Compa uion dealing with the
bric-a-brac that has been accumulated
in the executive mansion by the presi'
dents. In the beginning of his article
Mr.. Fawcett says:
There are doubtless in every large
city in the country larger and more
valuable collections of bric-a-brac and
art furniture than that to be found in
the private apartments of the executive
mansion, but il is question whether
there is in the length and breadth OF
the land any other half so interesting
Rarity is, of course, uniyeral charac-
teristic OF the artistic gems scattered
through the home of the presidents,
but better than that is the fact that al
most every piece is fraught with mem.
ories and associations that make IT a
priced possession. OF the whole num-
ber, probably half are the gift of kings
and rulers-tokens of appreciation
from friendly nations-and the re-
mainder having been fashioned espee
cially for he white house, have no du-
plicates anywhere else in the world.
This accumulation is not the prod
uct of any particular administration.
President Arthur had, perhaps, more
Of the collectors spirit than has been
inherent in any other man who has
been master of the white house, and
certainly he made more additions TO
its furnishings than any other Of its
occupants.
ANY expenditure which the presi-
dent himself makes for pictures or
statuary or bric-a-brac or furniture,
unless specially provided for, must
come out Of the fixed appropriation
which congress makes rach year for
the maintenance of thc white house.
Mr.. Arthur chose to spend the major
part of his allowance in the manner
which has been outlined. Mrs. McKin-
ley. on the other hand, has preferred
to devote the rather modest sum TO
beautifying her temporary home in
other ways, and thus we find all about
the house new mirrors. freshened dec
oratjons and other evidences Of re-
furnishing. Mrs. Gle seland added more
new flowers than bric-a-brac, and Mrs.
Hayes found her he bby in pretty table

THE WITCH HAZEL.
Romantic Fancies Regarding the
shrub and Its Real Nledi-
cinal Value.

A glamour OF beauty and sentiment
surrounds the last blossom of the
fall. On sunny hillsides, amid the
glory of autumn foliage and the des-
olation of the scar and withered
leaves, the witch hazel lifts it's forked
branches. clothed in a mist of golden
stars, to the blue sky. The leaves,
which closely resemble the elm leaf
in form, have turned yellow and
brown and fallen 20 the ground, and
the ripe brown frlit alone remains
among the yellow flowers. The shrub
holds at once the fruition of the year
past and the promise of the year tc
come. 1t will take full IL months OF
snow. sunshine and shower before
the flowers will ripen into fruit, says
the New York Tribune.
The mists of enchantment that have
been thrown about the witch hazel
caused its branches TO be taken for
divining rods. and an infusion of its
gray bark and yellow flowers for a
magic medicine or cure for all ills,
The pretty story of the diyining rod
treasure of any kind buried in the
earth, is still believed in many parts
of the country, and there are many
old we'll diggers who never locate a
well without divining rod of witch
hazel, and old miners, who relate
marvellous tales of the mines located
by the same simple means. The tales

The value of oats as food for horses

Kernels OF that grain are enyeloped IN

In fact, only about twofhirds of the
total weight of oats eaten is digested
by the horse.
II appears that, about 1870, the two
great cab companies OF Paris began to
feed their horses on Indian corn. and
since that time one of them has almost
ceased 10 use oats. The other COM
pany has continued TO feed both oats
and corn, saving in this way from $780,

Corn and oats are quite similar in
composition, but whereas oats contain
from 25 to 30 per cent. Of indigestible
hull, the skin or hull Of maize amounts
to practically nothing This shows
why horses thrive better. and are more
apt TO retain their weight, on corn than
on oats.
Barley IS staple feeding stuff for
horses in Italy, Algeria, Spain and
other countries where oats cannot be
profitably raised. In England, young
race horses in training are subsisted
