She offered the pillows at a trifle less nan the price asked in- city shops, nit the appeal to city folk, lay In the 'act that they were real feather pil aws from the country. 'A girl who lived In New Jersey, svi-thin- commuting distance of New York, started a hotbedl raising fresh :ttuee and radishes. These she bold ly carried to New York ini a suit case awl sold toother people .working n the office where she was emiployed May that girl has a good-sized truck-farm, employs several hands and does not have to work to a city 'office. "Away out In Nebraska a farmer's daughter tried to do the same thing, believing that she could induce the sreen-grocers In the nearest town- to mndle.her fresh letuce and radishes ather than tlibse. shipped In by com mission merchants. The dealers were afraid to give her any encouragement Her supply might not be up to the standard. She might not raise nlough to supply them and then they would not know how much to ex pect from her and how much from the commission merchants! "The girl made a house-to-house canvass among housewives and offer- id them freshly-pllcked Vegetables! at the same price aa they had been, pay ing Hr the hothouse supply shipped In.

R. & literature on were all well known to the teachers." K R.

Rich Congressmen. Multimillionaires are Invading the house of representatives. That legis lative body today is more thickly In vested, so to speak, by "predatory plutcs" than ut nuy previous period lu Its history. One of th fifteen richest men lu this country is a representative In congress from Yonkers, in the state of New York. Ills name is John E. Audrus, and his wealth is estimated at $00,000,000. He is a chemical king, controlling to a great extent the pro duction of medk'tnnl drugs In the United States. Ncniiy all of the pep sin manufactured In America comes from his mills, whence the name "Old Chewing Gum," applied to him joking ly by his follow congressmen, though, as a matter of fact he puts on the market no such commodity. - One of the most remarkable men In the present house ls Daniel I- Lafean of York, Ta. . He likewise was a born fortune builder. He started in life as driver of a coal cart at $1 a day. Ev ery cent be possesses he has made for himself, and his wealth today n mounts to not less than $3,000,000. lie owns silk mills, bunks, dairies and automo bile factories; but Industrially speak ing, he ls chiefly conspicuous as the candy king. , Washington Fourth on the List. Washington is fourth lu the list of American cities when one couslders the orea of asphalt streets. New York comes flrnt, with Chicago and Phllndel phla following In the order uamt-d. The natlouul capital has 4,000.000 square yards of this sort of street paving, according to advance sheets of the census office bulletin ou the subject. In this city there are 1.300,000 square yards of niacndauitzed streets, while the area of cobblestones ls so small that It Is hardly worth estimating. Chicago and Detroit are strong on the block wood streets, having be tween them more than two-thirds of the wood block pavements in the coun try. Names of the White House. It ls still the "White House" from which President Taft sends his aununl messago Instead of the "executive man sion." by which It hud been formally designated before UoosevelCs day. But even that stilted title lacks the supportof longjisage. The early pres- C H Return l Jfkv twm idciits described It us the ""president's house", or the "president's nmuslon," according to personal tastes. In the earliest plotting of - Washington the capitol and the White House were designated by . names which would hardly be understood by the newsboys of this city today. It called one "con gress house" and the other the "presi dent's house." The White Ilousejs the common sense designation because specific and in accord with popular usage- - White House Expenses. The; eutlre expense of tue White House, lucludlug the salary of the president and cost of clerical and of Uce assistance. Is a little more than the sum allotted by the Hollanders to Queen Wilhelmlua aud is certainly not au extravagant ratio of expenditures, contrasting the proportions of the two countries. The total appropriation for this year for telephone service, automobiles, housekeeping, care of conservatory aud greenhouses, printing, lighting and the multifarious trifles necessary to keep up such . an establishment is $277.2.5, the lowest sum expended in the maintenance Qf the White House since 1004 except during the lust two years of the Roosevelt administration, when a recced was made by keeping down expenses to about $100,000 each year. . With the exception of these two years the expenses have been higher, chiefly owing to appropriations for re pairs and additions, which vary from year to year. The highest executive ex)endltures are about one-tenth of the civil list of Oermany and one eighth that of England. A Unionist Congressman. The workiugmen of the country have one . member of congress who is a worker and comes grimy from the mines. He is William B. Wilson, who was twlre elected to the bouse from the I..vcomlng-Tiogn district of Penn sylvania. At eleven years of age he bcrame a worker In the mines near r.lcsslurc.
