Mrs. Longworth's Shell Rocking Chair
Curious collections of shells are
coming TO this side of the water and
shells as ornaments in every sort of
way are seen in modish homes. Mrs.
Longworth is fond of shells, and she
got some exceptionally fine neck
laces and bracelets in Hawaii. She
has a lovely little shell rocking chair.
The woodwork is inlaid with tiny ir-
descent shells and water color land
scapes framed in exquisitely tinted
shells. Navy men who go to the South

the small opal shell which is seen 50
much just now strung on gold for
necklaces.

this was destroyed, and finally the
property came into the possession OF
Daniel Carroll. Il was on this same
site that Mr. Carroll built the house
afterward known as Duddington Man.
or II was this house that made so
much trouble for L'Enfant when he
was laying out the city, and It re.
mained the home Of some membefs OF
the Carroll family until 1886, and was
one Of the landmarks Of New Jersey
avenue.
A little farther along New Jersey
avenue there stands a row Of houses
built by Thomas Low. who, having
amassed a fortune in India. brought to
the new country $5OO.OO0 in gold
Washington induced him to invest
largely in the city Of anticipations, and
these houses represent a part Of that
investment. They were originally
high-class boarding houses, and shell
tered such men as Louis Philippe
Thomas Jefferson. Monroe and many
others of equal distinction. II was in
one OF them that Alexander Hamilton
advised the drafting OF the measure
to establish a United States bank.
Low was said TO be a quaint charac-
ter, He married Miss Custis, sister
Mrs. George w. Parke Custis, the
granddaughter Of Mrs Washington.
His memory was faulty, and many
times he even forgot his own name.
On one occasion he locked his wife in
an upper chamber Of the house and
forgot that she was there, keeping
her prisoner over night Finally she
left him and he died in comparative
poverty The houses that he erected
in New Jersey avenue long have been
usd for government Offices.
Passing from the site of the Burns
homestead, in Seventeenth street, the
sightseer comes to the octagon house
at Eighteenth and New York avenue.
This house was built more than 100
years ago by Col. John Tayloe. His
income was princely, and he lived in
a manner befitting one of his vast
means.
The octagon house stands to-day a
hallowed monument to departed chiS
airy. 1t was in this house that Presi-
dent Madison and his wife lived after
the burning of the White House by
the British in 1914. In those days its
wide halls rang to the echo OF femi-
nine laughter and clinking glasses, for
it was the center of the social gaye-
ties of the capital
Memories of the past still haunt the
great rooms of the house. The octa-
gon house is considered one of the
haup ed houses of the district, and
it is said by the credulous that the
spirits OF the old slaves who died In
the pens that were situated in its
once capacious grounds still haunt the
premises, ringing bells to announce
their presence.

APPLE KING OF KANSAS


Judge Fred WeIlhouse. OF Topeka. Kans.
widely known as the Apple King, has as
the basis Of his title the ownership or
over 1900 acres devoted TO apple trees
Also. he has raised more than half a mill
ion bushels OF apples and sold the same
for a little over s905.O0O
When, In the late 70s, be was planting
49, acres 10 apple trees in Leavenworth
County. Kans.. says Suburban Life. many
Of his neighbors looked upon him as we'll

II was astonishing, 1t was destined TO be
a fat failure
But Wellhouse. undaunted and undis-
couraged, worked on. unmindfm OF the
bantering and rallying. and the outcome
justified his faith in Kansas and himself
The crop Of 1890 approximately $1,000
bushels. was the largest ard sold for
more than $4,000.
This was, perhaps. the most valuable
crop OF apples ever grown by any one
man in the Middle West, and the total
paid for II aggregated more than the
earnings Of the average citizen during his
entire lifetime. The combined yield OF
the two largest crops. those Of 1890 and
1881, was i42.S6S bushels. The smallest
yield was ass bushels in 1899.
There was one year OF worse results
even than that. for in 1907 there was no
yield al al. In the spring Of that year
the prospects for a bumper crop were so
bright that Judge Wellhouse fattered
himself il was TO be the year when his
dream OF raising a clear 10o 900 bushels
would come true: but one night IN the
forepart OF April the frost came and the
next morning there was not a living
bloom left, and. OF course. not an apple
was harvested in 1907.
The judge has kept a record Of his thir-
y years apple planting and harvesting.
according 10 which II appears that the
pickers have averaged forty bushels each
day AT the rate OF $50 day OF ten hours.
They worked IN gangs OF from ten 10 If

from the fields TO the packlng-house. and
SlI.505 for hauling 10 the railroad and
loading on cars. The barrels cost S17.100
and about $3.50 was spent for mlscella-
neous items. such as boxes. extra hoops.
&c The total outlay for gathering the
crops and placing them on the market
was S57. $50.
The gross sales amounted 10 SOS COG.
