Sum Required Annually to Maintain
1t and Other Figures.
The White House up to date has cost
about $3,OOO,OOO of which nearly one
third has been paid for furniture and
interior decoration: Originally the
State of Virginia gave 100000 to build
it, Maryland adding $4,000. TO main-
tain the White House costs from S25.-
600 to $4,000 a year, the appropria-
ton for this purpose varying consider
ably. But every now and then there
is something extra to be paid for and
Congress is called upon to give an eX-
ira $4,000 or $4,000. The biggest
pull Of this kind ever made was for
$55O,OO0, which was spent couple OF
years ago in partial reconstruction of
the interior and in the addition Of
winglike terraces and an office build
ing.
Every now and then new set Of
china has to be provided, and usually
that costs about $25, O00-rather a big
sum from the everyday housewives
point Of view. Repairs run up to n
large amount annually, white paint be-
ing an important item.

The Trees Story.

One day in summer about ten years
ago l dropped from my mother in the
form Of a creamy white blossom. She
was weeping willow standing beside
a beautiful lake in the woods. 1t was
a happy thought of mine to be like her
some day. Very soon | took root, and
by the next winter l was thriving
young tree two feet high, standing be-
meath the loving shade of my mothers
broad branches, where only my friends,
the sun and rain, ever saw me. In
about six or seven years / had grown
to a tall tree, and after that l gave
shade to many happy groups Of pic
nickers. .
In the fall all my finger shaped
leaves turned beautiful red and yell
low color. But soon they all dropped
off, and l was left alone. In few
weeks Jack Frost covered me with a

A Funny Little Hand Mill.

Thrust a needle through cork
lengthwise so that you can make 1t
stand point up.
Now cut a piece of thin, very light
paper into square about three-quar-
tiers of an inch long eacn side. Bend
one corner up a bit and one down In
about the shape of the wings Of the
common pinwheels.
Then find the exact center Of 1t and
adjust 1t on the point of the needle so
that it can turn easily.
Now tell the company that you can
make the card revolve at the word of
command. Rub your hand without let
ting any one see it. This Is done to
warm 1t, for the success Of the trick
depends on the heat Of the hand.
Then rest the hand on the table so
that your open palm will be toward
the card. Gradually bring your palm
to the card till 1t is so close as almost
to touch it. The card will begin to
turn almost Immediately II it has been
adjusted properly and if your hand is
warm enough.

ABOUT CATCHING COLDS.
Why Healthy People Are Often
Troubled with Them

In treating the subject of colds the
really important question is, I'm what
does predisposition consist?" We talk
Of a man catching a cold" But 1t
would be more correct and equally
graphic to say that the cold has
caught" the man. For it does catch
him unawares and often when he least
anticipates it. But no cold ever caught
any man unless he had first prepared
the ground for it by a careful process
Of fertilization
No amount of mere exposure to a
low temperature alone will cause a
cold in a perfectly healthy man. in
whom the product Of wear and tear of
nerve and muscle, with adequate ex-
erection of waste products on the one
side is evenly balanced by food supply
and exercise on the other. Where the
equilibrium does not exist such ex-
posure then operates as Chill"
Now, who are the people who are H.
able to catch cold? Not those whose
dietary is so carefully adjusted to the
work they have to do that there is no
opportunity for the accumulation Of
unused foodstuffs in their tissues, but
those who. in the better-fed ranks of
society, eat and drink more than they
need to meet the daily requirements of
their bodily activity and are thus con-
tinually storing up in their tissues and
excreting organs material which, if
appropriately used, would form valu-
able ammunition for the development
Of energy either of body OF mind, but
which, when stored beyond certain
point has to be blown off in a "cold'
or "bilious attack" or in pro-
nounced fit of govt.
