AN IMPROVED WHITE HOUSE.

The rcsuknce of tiie president of the ,,. ... ijt ,t.. : i i. t n
United States ought to be worthy of ! the of legislation .a hat it shall
the oflice. The present white house is speedily pass a new tarifl bill. He wants
equal to all the requirements of such It to put the machinery in motion for
n residence, so far a.s it goes. It is a currency legislation at a later date, how
simple and diguitled building', whoso i ever, by making a joint commission of
lx-nuty is a constant delight to appre- j senators and representatives and report
dative persons. It was conceived and ( nt ,,e rej,uiar ee88iou 0f congress.
carried oiu v tne arcimeci wna
planned it in the proper spirit, but it is
i.ot large enough for the uses to which
it is necessarily put. The country and
the city of Washington have grown, and
the president's house have not grown
with them. A large part of it is given
up to the business otlices of the presi
dent, his private secretary, and his
clerks, and the president's family are
deprived of the use of another large
part of the lower lloor of the house be
cause it is necessarily on public view
most of the time. The family is there
fore cramped for proper accommo
dations, and there ar6 no rooms for the
entertainment ot guests. .Moreover.
the house is so nari y arranged as to i
entrances, exits, and hallways that a
t-hihi iswinnt irtii 1- n hviM'e nil i n.
comfortable and dangerous jam, whil'
nianv an invited truest, and many ofli-
cers who attend certain functions under
orders, have been made seriously ill be
cause they have been compelled to
stand for hours in told or stormy weath
er until they could gain admittance
through the single door that can be
used for the purpose.
The deficiencies of the white house
are so thoroughly recognized in Wash
ington that for many years efforts
have been making to secure worth
ier accommodations for the president.
Some of these efforts have been in the
wrong direction, lwcau.se they have
contemplated other buildings, foreign
to the intent and character of the white
house, within the same grounds. Other
efforts still are attempts of speculators
to move the site of the mansion to the
hills north of the city.
The white house, with all its charms
and memories, should be preserved, and
it should remain on its present leaii
tiful and historic site, its fine grounds
unencumberd by other structures. In
furtherance of th's idea, a plan pre
pared by Mr. Arthur J. Dillon shows
conclusively that the white house can
be made, not only abundantly spacious,
but even improved, while its architec
tural features will be at the same time
preserved. Harper's Weekly.
FROZEN MUTTON.
Preparation of the .Now Zealand l'roduct
for the -Market.
The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is of inferior price to that of
.Vew Zealand has a three-fold explana
tion. In the first place New Zealand
possesses to-day a mutton-producing
breed .superior to that known in the
Plate. In tho second, the New Zealand
eir feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the Ar
gentine the sheep are allowed to graze
upon the same bare jximpa during tin
dead season. The- le.sult of this is that
the New Zealander produces an even,
well-grown carcass, while there is sent
home from the Plate one upon which a
hasty covering of fat has been put dur
ing tho spring months of the year. The
difference between the two carcasses
will readily be noted by anyone who
pays a visit to the cattle market. Third
ly, the freezer in New Zealand freezes
the mutton on aeerunt of the breeder;
and in the A. iMitine the freezer buys
from the breeder. The. disadvantage of
the latter system, so long as the breeder
has no knowledge of the requirements
of the market, is apparent. The New
Zealand breeder selects his wethers
with care, rejecting any which will give
an inferior weight, or which are in
sufllciently fattened for the butcher.
He remits them in small droves to the
freezing establishments, and takes
every care that they shall arrive in per
fect order. The Argentine breeder, on
the other hand, makes a contract with
the representative of the freezer to sell
a given number; and the latter binds
himself to remove themwithinacertnin
date. N. Y. Ledger. j
CRUSOE'S ISLAND DISAPPEARS.
Reported SlnliluK of .luun Fernandez
Land by Volcanic Actlou.
A fuw weeks ago a vessel putting-in
at Lisbon after a trip around Cape
Horn, reported the destruction by vol
canic action of tho Juan Keriimndez
island, famous as tho scene of "Knbin
son Crusoe." The master claimed to
have seen the catastrophe from the
deck- of his vessel. The report was uot
given credence at the time by scientific
men, and many denials were printed in
papers and magazines. Hut Capt.
1'uwclls, of the UritishEhlp James Kerr,
asserts that the story hi generally be
lieved by seafaring men all over the
world. The Jame.t Kerr has recently

met a very large number of master
mariners there, and nays that the. de
struction of the island wa.s a matter of
common gosinp among them. Tho
captain himself hua not passed within
flight of the island since is?'.1, when he
secured a photograph of it from the
deck of his ship. He fays that some of

while ho was there verified the report,

THE FLOWtKb Of THE TREE.
Need to Stoop to No Tricks for tho Scat
tering of 1'ollcu.
It has come about that the lowiy
plants, unable to secure their ends by
fair words, have had recourse to guile
to tempt the insects by velvet- tex
tures of rich color widely srtrenri, by
exhaling sweet and powerful odors, by
offering nectar, and finally by devising
artful appliances, whereby an insect
can be loaded with pollen without, his
knowledge what time lie. is imbibing
the seductive nectar. Some have gone
a step lower, and because they could
not afford to produce so brilliant a dis
play as other plants, have set to work
to press the vulgar carrion-loving flies
into their service by developing" petals
of a livid purple hue, and giving forth
a putrid odor. Faugh! Shall hearts
of oak and beech and ash stoop to
such tricks?
The forest tree, says Good Words, has
a hundred or a thousand years to live,
and exhibits no precocious anxiety to
produce lruit. At 13, 20 or HO ycur
is time enough to think of such things;
ar.d when the time comes the delicate
essential organs are protected merely
by a few simple green or yellow scales,
or by none at all. The pollen is lavish
ly produced, for the wind is not so pre
cise a vehicle of transmission as the
insect, and but. n very small percentage
of the pollen grains will reach their
destination. This, however, is of littlo
consequence, for an incipient seed need
but one pollen grain to fertilize it, and
should a hundred fall upon it, 99 would
be superfluous.

The water in the region is saturated

giving the water the color and consis

cause of great suffering among th" geo
