MINT, THE PRESIDENTS OWN.
Temperance Visitor Discovers Herb
in White House Grounds.

Recent visitors to the White House
are satisfied they have discovered the
real reason for the exclusion Of re-
porters from the White House grounds
in the presence of luxuriant mint
bed bordering the floral semicircles
just below the terrace, says the New
York Press. Other presidents have
made no secret of their liking for the
fragrant herb or of the use to which
they thought it lent itself most pleas
antly, but Cleveland and Arthur, both
of whom liked their julep, thought too
highly of the properties of mint to
trust it's rearing to the official gar
dener, so they got their supplies di-
rect from John Chamberlin.
Mint in the White House grounds is
said to be distinct innovation, and
it is fact that there was none during
McKinley's tenancy there, since both
to him and to Mrs. Mckinley the scent
was unpleasant. In these nerve-rack-
ing days those who have the moral up
lifting of the plant at heart fear the
presence of the plant may be cause
of temptation to visitors to the presl-
dent.

mint beds are a feature Of all Dutch

A WISE OLD CROW
NOTABLE RESIDENT OF WHITE
HOUSE GROUNDS.
Has Won Reputation as Weather
Prophet That Weather Bureau
Officials Might Well

Many folks in this city, as well as
elsewhere, have been talking about
the old crow which is known to have
established his headquarters long ago
in the White House grounds, says the
Washington Post and whose skill as
an augur has been advanced by
warning he gave that Easter Sunday
this year would certainly be moist
and unpleasant day.
TO the east of the mansion on the
north front in little grove of elms,
the old bird has his habitation. Gen
orally he occupies tree very near to
the north portico. There is a large
hollow in the trunk of this tree, and
in the topmost branches his sable
plumage is nearly always to be seen.
Some OF the policemen on duty about
the grounds keep an eye on the old
fellow at times, but the majority of
them ignore him. II have as much

coats when the subject of the crows
methods was mentioned to him, ito

crowds of people that swarm here
every day, without giving any thought
to the crow"
But there are others about the
White House who have paid consider
able attention to him. One old retain
er, who went into service when Gen.
Grant became president, says this
same crow was stationed near the
house when he first took up humble
position there. "And we all know"
said this old fellow, that as a weather
prophet he can give cards and spades
to the bureau officers and beat them"
The man who could probably give
more information, If he would, about
the White House crow is that old vet
eran of the clerical force, Col. Crook,
who has been stationed in one ca
pacity or another about the executive
quarters ever since the days of Presi-

THE BLENHEIM SPANIEL.
Most 'Lovable of the Four-FOOted Pets
of WOmankind.

Of all the pets of womankind, babies
alone excepted, there is nothing more
lovable than the tiny Blenheim span
iel, says an exchange. Why this breed
of dogs has the name of the palace Of
the duke of Marlborough no one seems
to know. The story goes, however,
that the first duke had the breed and
that, on a friends requesting a puppy,
he refused to part with one, but at the
same time took two or three blind
whelps and threw them to tame eagles
But in the year 1900 his grace the
duke of Marlborough was reputed to
possess the smallest and best breed
of cookers (woodcock spaniels) in Brit
ain. They were invariably red and
white, with very long ears, short noses
and black eyes. They were evidently
the ancestors of the present -Blen-
helms. which are still bred by the keep
ers of the lodge at Blenheim and some
of the inhabitants Of Woodstock. But
there is little doubt that they have
been crossed with the pug to give them
the very short snub noses which they
now possess. Moreover, the breed has
become very delicate and difficult to
rear. They suffer from brain disease
and are more likely than any other dog
to die in puppyhood. "Idstone," the
celebrated writer on dogs, remembers
the time when the Blenheims were
mainly bred in the vicinity of the pal
ace. He suggests as probably origin
of the Blenheims the Japanese toy span
iel. The surmise seems very probable.
AS it is the ambition of every English
woman to own one Of these tiny crea-
lures they will probably some day be
the rage in this country; therefore, 1t
is well to know something of their ped
igree.

Gen. sheridan's Request.

When Gen. John M. Wilson, U. S. A,
retired. was superintendent of public
buildings and grounds in Washington
under Cleveland, he was invited one
afternoon by Gen. Sheridan to accom-
pany him on carriage drive about
the CITY. The hero of Winchester was
