White House Kitchen
(Continued from Fifth Pace)
In. All of tho woodwork was torn out and
t ho clean, white tiling which now makes
these rooms so bright was substituted. This
did nwny with tho rnt and mice nuisance,
but It was not until Colonel Illngham, tho
present efficient superintendent of public
buildings and grounds, put In his perfect
sanitary system of plumbing that they weru
able to copo with the roach pest.
There arc two kitchens, a small one to
tho west and tho main ono leading out of
It, which Is about forty feet long by twenty-five
feet wide. Iloth rooms have
cement Moors, whllo tho walls nro wains
coted to tho height of six or eight feet with
whlto tiles. These rooms nro supplied with
every modern kitchen appliance. Over on
tho south sldo of tho large room Is n great
hooded range covering almost tho entire
wall and provided with numberless baking
and warming ovens. In the center of tho
room Is a long -deal table, and suspended
from the celling directly over It is a mam-
nth circular swing, on which nro hanging
tficcooklng utensils, brass kettles and pans
shining like burnished glas9. Over on tho
north sldo of tho room nro two closets
reaching from celling to floor. Their up
per parts nre Bhelvcd and filled with tin
ware and crockery, while tho lower Is di
vided Into flour, meal and cereal bins, with
other compartments for sugar, salt, spices
and so forth. Over on tho south sldo nro
tho sinks and appliances for dishwashing,
while on the north, underneath tho big
windows with their ground glass panes, are
tho sldo tables. In tho northeast cornor
of tho family kitchen, which Is furnished
on a smaller scnlo In tho same manner as
tho larger one, Is tho dumb-waiter, whore
tho food for tho dining room is sent up
to the butler's pantry.
As may bo Imagined, it Is something of
nn undertaking to preparo nil of tho viands
In theso kitchens for tho magnificent stato
dinners which nro given ach winter in tho
executive mansion, but that it Is dono In so
faultless n manner reflects credit upon
thoso who manage It. Tho stato dining room
Is a stately, spacious apartment, but It can
only sent forty persons, and Is now too
small for the number of guests who must
bo entertained at these official functions.
For that reason during tho past three
years tho tables for theso dinners havo
been laid in tho long Tiffany corridors an
expediency which should mako us reallzo
tho necessity of a larger dwelling houso
for tho president of this great nntlon.
On tho night of a stnto dinner tho en
tiro main floor of tho mansion Is turned
Into a fairyland of beauty. Every nook,
corner and available space Is filled with
palms, tropical plants, cut flowers and pa
triotic decorations. Chains of vnrl-colored
olectrlc lights nro swung across tho celling,
over tho mirrors nnd frequently outline tho
floral designs. Tho table is ns handeomo
ns rare buds nnd blossoms, cut glnss and
priceless china, sliver nnd flno napcry can

FREE REMEDY.
KAny Indies nnd gentlemen who cannot
complain of nny kind of sickness are ab
normally thin and cannot find any medical
treatment which will correct this condition.
Dr. Whitney's Nerve and Flesh Builder
Is not nlone Intended for those who nro
sick, but also for those who appear well
and hearty, but cannot acquire sufficient
flesh to round out the form. In dyspepsia,
Indigestion, nil stomach troubles, debility
nnd nervous diseases, no remedy Is so
prompt nnd powerful. In order to demon
strate tho wonderful merits of Dr. Whit
ney's Nerve nnd Flesh Builder, every per

mnko It, whllo tho bill of fare Is such ae
any lady of taste und refinement would
place before her guests nt n choice dinner.
It usually comprises from six to eight
courses nnd Is about two hours In being
served. The White Houso cook, who Is a
capable, middle-aged Ocrman woman bear
ing tho given name of Anne, prepares all
of tho food with the aid of her two as
sistants. On the night of tho dinner tho
dishwashers nro reinforced by tho three
laundry women, ns, despite tho tales which
occasionally go tho rounds of tho newspa
pers of the filiations amount of plato In
tho executive mansion, the limited number
of spoons, knives nnd forks mnkes It nec
essary to wnsh thoso which are used In
ono courso to supply tho next. Tho waiters
on these occasions arc hired from the es
tablishment of ono of tho uptown cnterers
ns tho regular Whlto House forco Is not
Inrgo enough of Itself.
Thoso dinners ore, of course, official nf
falrs and are given by tho president as a
part of his official duties. In consequence
of this fact It would seem naturally to fol
low thnt tho government would pay for
them, but such Is not the cose. With tho
exception of tho music and flowers the en
tire expenso Is borno by tho president. The
cost of each of theso dinners rarely falls
below $500, and ns thero aro three
regular ones, thoso to tho cablnot, the su
preme court and tho diplomatic corps, be
sides tho lesser ones which constantly
havo to bo given In honor of distinguished
people whoso duties bring them to tho cap
ital and whoso positions mako It incumbont
on the president to show them this atten
tion, It can easily bo computed what a
drain theso entertainments are on tho ex
ecutive salary. The government appropri
ates $20,000 annually for tho expenses of
the Whlto House. This Includes tho $1,800
paid to tho steward: all servant hire,
with tho exception of tho cook, coachman
and ono mnld; all usunl repairs nnd ordi
nary refurnlshlngs. Tho president will
pay out of his own pocket tho housekeeper
Mrs. Roosevelt has Installed.
With a young nnd vigorous matron nt
Its head onco mora and a debutanto daughter
to bo Introduced to society tho historic old
mansion is sure to retain Its nrlstlno rep
utation for hospitality. Mrs. RooBevelt has
announced her Intention of resuming tho
Saturday afternoon receptions which woro
such fnvorlte social features under Mrs.
Cleveland. In many Ilttlo wavs sho al
ready has shown n gcnulno kindliness that
bids fair to mako her ns popular In hor ex
alted position ns was tho flrst-nnmed lndv

HIS HOLINESS, POPE LEO XIII.
Tho magnificent painting of His Holiness, Popo Leo XIII, Is thu work of tho culo-
bratcd artist, J. A. Mohltc, who has had tho advantage of tho constant criticisms and
advlco of tho highest dignitaries of tho Ilomnn Catholic Church In America, who havo
devoted unusual time In going over tho dotnlls with thu artist so that tho finished
work would be as near perfect as anything that has aver been brought out, Thoso
who havo been fnvored by His Holiness with nn nudlcnco exclaim over tho remark
ablo likeness of this painting. It Is Indood a portrait nbsolutely truo to life.
Tho work has been gotten out at an expense of over $5,000, tho lithographs
being finished In 12 scpnrato printings on tho highest grndo of chrome paper, mid has
been trcntcd In a very artistic manner.
Tho valuo of this plcturo Is almost bevond calculation, since It Is tho very latest,
nnd, In all probability, will bo tho Inst plcturo ovor gotten out from such nuthorltntlvo
sources.
Tho plcturo Is a trlbuto to tho unusual reign of Leo XIII.
On Wednesdny, February 20, 1901, His Holiness received tho Cardinals nnd high
functionaries of tho church, who wnltod upon him In tho Vntlcnn on that day to con
gratulato him upon tho nnnlvcrsnry of his election to tho pontificate.
Tho reign of Leo XIII is tho longest of tho 206 Pnpnl rolgns. Only flvo Toiioh
havo so far exceeded Loo XIII In tho length of sorvlco. TIicbo woro:
St. Fetor, who reigned 24 yenrs, 5 months and 10 days.
Adrian I (722) 23 years, 10 months nnd C days.
Plus VI (1775) 24 years, 6 months nnd 14 davB.
Plus VII (1800) 23 years, G months and G days.
Plus IX (1846) 31 yenrs, 7 months and 22 days.
With tho denth of Cardinal Oaleatl. on January 25, His Holiness, I'opo I.oo XIII,
had burled 135 Cardtnnls slnco ho began his reign.
His remarkable strength of body, as well ns of mind, Is now tho subject of uni
versal comment, making him one of the most Interesting men of our tlmo.
So faithful a likeness and so magnificent n work of art as tho present plcturo Is,
thercforo, of Incalculable valuo to everyone.
