National Nicknames.

Like individuals, the nations of the
earth have nicknames. The appro
priateness of some is quite evident
but to explain the origin of others
would be difficult.
Englishmen have submitted to the
name of John Bull, as suited to the
national character. A Scotsman is
Sandy; the Irishman gets his nick.
name, Paddy, from his national patron
saint; while an ancient nursery rhyme
records the fact that Taffy was a
Welshman. In England the French
man is sometimes rather contemptu-
ously alluded to as John Crepaud;
but in France he is Jacques Bon
homme, or, as bourgeois, Monsieur
Prudhomme.
Cousin Michel is the nickname by
which the German is known to the
continental nations. Mynheer Closh.
an abbreviation of Nicholas, is the
name applied to Ho1landers; and the
switzer rejoices in the name of Colin

To Honor Ladies of White House

To Honor Ladies of White House.
1t Is unfair and uncourteous in us as
q nation that all of the wives of our
presidents are not represented among
the portraits in the White House, and
1t is hoped that this stigma may soon
be removed, writes a correspondent.
An effort is to be made to enlist the
women of the states who have had
the honor of having daughter who
has been the mistress of the White
House to club together and place her
portrait upon its walls, as the women
Of Tennessee did for Mrs. Polk. In
this effort care will be taken that only
the best artists are commissioned with
the work and that uniformity of de-
sign is followed in all the pictures.
The most historic part of the White
House-that Is, the collection of presi-
Dental ware-is contained in six
cabinets standing in the lower east
corridor of the mansion. Soon after
Mrs. Roosevelt became the mistress of
the mansion she saw that there was
nothing in it representative of the
great majority of the presidents who
have occupied the high Office beyond
their portraits. This and the desire
to save something of the presidential
china which was then in the White
House led her to start the collection.
She was so successful in this endeavor
that the collection now contains some
piece of china, plate or glass which
was used by every presidents family
except those of Zachary Taylor, Will
liam Henry Harrison, Tyler, Van Blu
rem and Johnson, and efforts are now
under way whereby it is expected that
the collection will be completed within
year. 1t has been made a part of the
bureau of public buildings and grounds
and is the permanent property of the
government.

Fruit and Nut Cheese.

Quarter pound brazil nuts, quarter
pound pecans, half pound almonds,
half pound walnuts, half pound each
of figs, dates and raisins. Prepare
nuts as usual, mix well with the fruit
and run through food chopper, using
smallest knife. Pack in cocoa or bak-
ing powder cans. Cover well and it
will keep for months. When wanted
dip in hot water and it will slip out
easily. A slice of this between thin
pieces of bread makes dainty sand
witch for luncheon or picnic and is
more nutritious than meat. It also
makes delicious CONNECTION when cut
in cubes and dipped in melted and
sweetened chocolate. The above are
some of the many ways in which this
cheese may be used.

It has long been known that red-hoi
stoves were not always safe if left
without a guardian when providers
were around, but the burglar in Los
Angeles who picked up boa constric-
tor and departed with it for parts un.
known made the stove litter look like
an amateur pilferer. Well may the
householder ask what is safe if he
cant go to bed and leave his favorite
boa constructor basking in front of the
hearth, says the Chicago Daily News.
II the poor boa must be locked in the
safe along with the family diamonds
and bargain mining stock, its rest will
be broken and 1t will suffer all the dis
eases we get from not having enough
fresh air. Still, that might be prefer
able to waking up and finding it in a
strange household, where the cooking
did not agree with it. The only way
out that we can see is for the boa to
train itself up to be watchdog.

A missionary, discoursing upon
IndiaS told of a woman who had come
to her complaining of very sore
back and desired that she pray for its
cure. This Mrs. Jackson did, but the
woman again appeared before her and
declared that the back was still in
bad condition. Mrs Jackson advised
the use of an application of iodine,
and brought out bottle of the drug
to apply upon the afflicted part of the
woman's anatomy. But she regarded
the bottle suspiciously and acted as
though it would hurt her were she to
use it. To allay her fears upon this
score Mrs. Jackson applied some Of
the drug to her own finger and showed
her that 1t would not burn, and that
she had better allow her to put some
of 1t upon her back.
But" said the woman, ut woul0

Torrance in the big tent, but the me
nagerie tent was beginning to fill. The
gasoline torches were blazing fercely
and adding their fumes to the pungent
animal doors, and the aroma of the
damp pine sawdust under foot aided in
creating that distinctly circus scent
that is the incense of bliss to the nose
OF the small boy.
The vendors Of peanuts and pink
and white 'lemo" were busy at their
stands near where the rough-hided
elephants and shop-worn camels were
chained to stakes around the center
pole, and through an opening at the
far end of the tent could be seen the
tiers of blue plank seats in the big tent
beyond, and one or two blue acketed
men hastily raking sawdust in the two
big rings.
A stream of eager sightseers pressed
around the circle of cages, crowding
close to the guard-ropes, calculating
with wonder at sight of the gnu or
eagerly glancing ahead in vain en-
deavor to see the hippopotamus with

canes or umbrellas slyly poked the
animals, keeping one eye on the sleepy

it had actually come to Yarnaby in all

SYSTEM IS PERFECT
ERRORS IMPOSSIBLE IN UNCLE
SANS MONEY FACTORY.
institution Is Proud of the Fact That
In Its Entire History Not
One Plate Has Ever
Gone Astray.

The system of checks employed to
prevent irregularities in Uncle Sans
money factory, otherwise known as
the bureau of engraving and printing,
is as complete as human ingenuity can
devise.
Each die, roll and plate has a num-
Der in sequence stamped upon it and
by said number it is recorded. Each
employe receiving piece of steel to
work on is charged with the same by
| It's number and a description of the
engraving to be made thereon. He is
not allowed to leave the building. says
the National Magazine, until the same
has been returned and checked into
the vaults presided over by the GUS
todian of dies, rolls and plates. This
ott1cer is the representative of the Sec
rotary of the treasury.
In the custodian's office complete
records and the history of $4,000 dies,
$4,000 rolls and $4,000 plates are on
f1le. Once year this office is audited
and checked up by a committee an
pointed by the secretary of the treas
ury, each piece of engraved work be-
ing identified and compared with the
records Of the office.
This is an arduous duty and it usu-
ally takes three months.
After finding the records correct the
committee receipts to the custodian
for all obsolete dies, rolls and plates
which have become worn by use or no
longer serviceable on account of legis-
lation; these are carefully checked
and packed in sealed boxes and taken
to the navy yard, where they are to-
tally destroyed by melting in a blast
furnace.
Last year the committee DESTROYED
1882 pieces of engraved work, packed
in 247 boxes and weighing 35,757
pounds. Each morning the custodian
issues all plates to the printing di-
vision and all dies, rolls and plates
necessary to the engravers on requisi-
tons and receipts for them upon their
return at the close of the days work,
when they are stored in two large
steel fireproof vaults of modern con-
struction protected by time locks.
The $4,000 plates represent all
classes Of work, including commits
sions, checks, drafts, portraits of de-
ceased members of congress, certif1-

national bank currency, United States
and treasury notes, gold and silver |
certificates, bonds and cigar, cigarette, |
tobacco, snuff, beer, oleomargarine,

customs and proprietary stamps. The |
system Of checks and rules governing |
the custody of the work is so perfect
that in the history of the bureau not q
single plate has gone astray.
