I linvc just rend In a recent number of the Clazotl Medical ilo Paris u very curious case that seems to me well vvotth repeating , E3js n writer In the Now York Herald. U U : liat of n patient who suffered atrociously 'ram attacks of sciatic neuralgia , which he succeeded In quieting by playing the violin. \Vo nre Just commencing-to have a few acatttrrd Ideas concernlns the effect of mu sic , nnd , without wishing to lay more stress : han Is suitable on the strange connection t seems to hnvo with the foiling out of the ialr based , ns It must he admitted , on only a few statistics an effect \nrylng , a1 ? my readers may remember , with the Instrument isunlly played It Is now Kcncrnlly admitted that music has on the nervous sjstem a scdftlve action that la often very marked. Wo have all read In the blblo that David's liarp was a specific for driving away Saul's Liad humor , before Chnrrcnnd Tarclmnow had shown that music Is able to put our rntlro sensitive-motor > > stetn In harmony. If I can use such an expression. At the present time the quieting effect of music U universally admitted , nnd numerous clinical experiments have shown Its special efficacy In certain forms of Insomnia , u Is also said to soothe pain. Whether In this case It acts as nn cnacsthctlc , according to the opinion of nme. or simply by making us foigct our pain , as Is believed by others , the point Is not yet settled. With this exception the therapeutical ef fects of music have been scientifically stud ied , and my readers may remember that several months ago I mentioned some par ticularly Intern-ting experiments , due to Mr Warthln of Michigan , concerning the dlf fcrcnt pieces of music. Without going Into the details of these experiments , I will merely say thnt the most evident result of Wagner's music wes Its sedative and hyp nolle effect. In less scientific terms , Mr. Warthtn's conclusion WES thnt the music of the Valkyrie Induced perspiration , while that of Tnmihaeuscr sfcught on sleep. This physiological study can bo carried further still , and , after having ascertained the effect of an entire orchestra , It Is Inter esting to see what may be tlio action of the separate Instruments of which It Is com posed. As regards the violin , wo have already ono case , duo to M. Corlvcaud , of Paris. Ono of his patients , who was subject to frequent attacks of sciatica , which ho re- llovod only with great difficulty by the use of morphlno , happened ono day , when the attack was not violent enough for an In jection , although It was sufficiently painful to prevent his working or walking , to take up his violin to divert his attention. Ho had no sooner played a few notes than the pain In his leg disappeared , reappearing as soon as ho laid the Instrument down , so much to that ho kept on playing all the afternoon and was cured by evening. Two dn > s later ho had a new attack , nnd after waiting until It had well started ho took his violin and again made the pain disap pear. It should be noted , however , thnt In this Instance ho had to use- morphine dur ing the night. This effect of the violin was constant for a long time , but unfortunately It only lasted while the patient Kept on playing. In explaining such a icsult. the patient himself remarks thnt nny suggestlvo action can bo set aside , because , In order to quiet his pain It Is not at all necessary that ho should be under the charm of some melody ho may prefer , or carried nvvay by the exe cution of a difficult piece. Provided his chin Is on the Instrument , and that ho draws some sounds from It with hla bow , the pain , however violent It may bo , disappears al most Instantaneously and dees not reappear until a few seconds or minutes after ho has stopped playing. M. Corlvcaud Is of the same opinion , and believes that the effect Is duo to mechanical vibration , which modi fies the dynamism of the sciatic nrve. as was the case with the vibratory treatment proposed Ijy Charcot a few jcara ago. Whatever may bo the value of this opla- natlon , this clinical case deserves remem bering , and since , according to the patient himself. It Is not necessary to bo n vlitu- ese , but merely to produce sounds 'vllli the bow. It Is very much to be hoped that the treatment that succeeded with M. Corl- vcnud's patient may be found equally serv iceable by other patients suffering from re bellious sciatica. MW STiniiAOi : IIALLOON. nxiierlineiilH Hail nt the llerlliv ImltiM- trlnl r.xhlliltloii. At the Rcrlln Industrial exhibition there Is to bo seen a wonderful balloon , which Is reported to bo stccrablo In a remarkable degree. On the 2Sth and 29th ult. this tremendous bag rose to a height of about sixty-five feet anu was propelled In all directions , oven against the wind. Tlio pub lic was allowed to give the directions , so that there should be no doubt aa to the genuine powers of the aerial vessel. Dr. Wolfcrt , the designer of the balloon , claims that It can bo steered against any wind at any altitude , but this has not yet been tested. The motlVD power of this elllptlcally built balloon Is a kind of double-bladcd ship's propeller , having a diameter of about three yards. It Is placed In front of the basket , whllo right below the car Is another pro peller of the same dimensions , for upward and downward movement. These propel lers make 500 revolutions per minute. The engine Is of elght-horao power. The mon ster balloon Is over thirty yards long , and In the center the diameter is about ten yards. The basket , from Its ehape , . Is called a gallerlo , and Is five jarda long. It Is constructed of bamboo , and Is fast ened to the balloon in such a way as to form an integral part of its bulky BUS- talner. Neither part can have separate movement. The method of fastening the two is the secret of the Inventor , Dr. Wol- fort , who will not say anything about It. Ho has made flfty-thrco ascents with other smaller balloons of his construction , the last time on May 20 from the Royal Depart ment of Military Aeronauts' drill ground. This latest and largest of his progeny ho has rhiUtviifil Deutschland. and U Is hinted that the form of the balloon U not dissimilar from that ordered by the Spanish govern ment for van against the Cuban revolu tionists. A Qnlel I'lnee. Detroit Tree Press : "Is the house very quid ? " he asked , as bo Inspected the room that had been advertised for rent. "No , " said the landlady , wearily.

" Tills Is tlio oplnlony rcrently delivered , of a song writer whoso Music has brought him n small fortune and \l'hpjj ' compositions nro being whistled , playi /ind l sung nil over tlio coun try. Inasmuch as the trade of song writing has become Vrfry much extended of late , and us thousaYuls fef budding musicians and aspiring pocts"nro anxiously Inquiring how to popularize their lyrical efforts , this state secret of the isong writer's craft well do- selves to be eTxpfcsed. In fact , the modus operand I of popularizing a song Is not , as wo shall see , a matter of chance , hut Is pait of a well balanced anil thought out system which may be practiced by any person pos sessing the secret. The street piano Is the natural successor to the old barrel orcan and the little Her man band. It Is mechanically a combination of the music box and the ordinary piano. It owes It legitimate HBO to Its capacity for embellishing the popular song of the day and then carrying It within hearing distance of the homes of all sorts and conditions of men , women and children. The plain tune stilts the masses ; the embellishment pleases the classes. Unlike the street organ , Its repertoire Is always up to date. This ! s an other reason for Its popularity. Killing Its several offices so neatly It cuilld not long es cape the eye of at least onn species of the great American advertiser and now since It Is used by him as a legitimate medium It has become a great moral force , making fortunes for several clobscs of persons be sides the man who operates It. Deforo the day of the street piano It was the practice of many music publishers to pay regular weekly salaries to variety art ists , who. for the consideration , would hurl bad new music at their audiences night after night. These trials on the dog , an It were , generally cost the publisher something like $50 a week. Some music publishers do this jet , but the advent of the street piano and Its extending Influence soon convinced the knowing ones that a rhcaper and more ef fective motrod of popularizing songs was to be had for the asking. They began sending professional copies of all new music to the piano manufacturers , who In their turn were glad enough to obtain free music. The re sult was startling mil the transient Ameri can national song became a definite article of commerce. All songs which wouldn't go and had been dead failures from the start , suddenly became the rage and their com posers waxed fat The most remarkable In stance was "Dal y llollc. " POPULARIZING "DAISY DELLE. " The composer of this song had what he supposed was the extreme good fortune to lead a publisher Into n contract to publish COO copies of it. with a further clause that It should bo tried on theater audiences In the usual manner. Copies wcro also sent to various band mastera'and teachers of danc ing , hut n year of systematic advertising availed nothing , and the composer , depleted In pockctbook and surfeited with publishers' wrath , was compelled to sail home to Eng land , where the prospect of financial success was more encouraging. The publisher. In or der to get rid of the superfluous hundreds of "Daisy nclles , " ficgan to put a copy of the song between the leaves of every piece of music ho sold. .It baiipclu'd that a copy of the song strajf4/ Into the workshop of thn at ] eel piano .manufacturer. 1'or want of a better selection It was jscnt out on some of the pianos. , K was a success Immediately ani people began inquiring for the song In every direction. ' Then It was resung by the variety artists. It became part of the bicycle craze and the vituperations of the publisher wot-o changed Into blessings. The composer was recalled and of course Im mediately white another song on the strength of the first. Three thousand dollars lars were evcrittfMly divided by the owners of "Daisy Be-no" before Its popularity waned ' "Tho Sldcw'nllfc ' of New York" was played about the Streets of the metropolis for two months before It became popular. The publishers calculated It would take that long before l ( w'ould ring naturally In the cars of the public. Then It was put upon the continuous performance stage , sent to the concert and dance halls and gradually scattered broadcast. The process was suc cessful and a large amount of money was made from It. It required four months to popularize the "Lost Child. " but It event ually made money for Its owner. "Mar- gucrlto" was a success almost at once , and was retained In the repertoire for a year a long period of life for a popular song. It was dropped finally and lay unused for several jcars , but now apparently a new desire for it has sprung up and the piano men arc beginning to reinsert It In their list of available music. It Is a para doxical fact , however , that the "Organs on the Street , " written to Illustrate this phase of our modern urban lift , should be a failure. It being found impossible to make It highly acceptable to the public , oven when delivered by way of the very medium It describes. COMPOSER AND ORGANIST IN LEAGUE. It Is a fact , somewhat out of Joint with modern business methods , that the manu facturers of street pianos have no share In the profit realized from the songs which they monopolize , except such money as naturally flows In when now cylinders are Inserted In old Instruments Yet such a popular song composer as Graham asserts that It Is worth $300 to him to 1mo one of his naiv songs sent out on the pianos , and ho actually moved his residence to the vicinity of a Brooklyn manufacturer so that ho could keep Jnjpuch with the pianos sent out and those coming In for the Insertion of new tunes. As soon as ho composes a song , ho makes every effort to get It on the street pianos. Ho Is not the only com poser , however , who watches the actions of piano gilndcrs. The latter are always fur nished with the list of the tunes played by their Instruments. As new selections are performed the ovcr-.curlous public Invaria bly mokes Inquiry as to the numo , composer , etc. The Italian grinder may not speak English , but with his list of names and numbers ho can give the desired informa tion. Ho is thus able to know which are the most called for songs. "Tho Fatal Wed ding. " "My Pearl's a Bowery Girl. " "After the Hall , " "Tho Howery , " "Two Little Girls In IJIue , " "When Molonoy Ltnded In Now York , " "Annie Rooney , " "Whistle and " " Golden Hair Was Walt for Katie , "Her Hanging Down Her Back , " "Tim Toolan. " etc. , etc. , are among the songs which the organ grinding public claims to have made truly popular , although U must bo remem bered that some of them were first sung In the theaters and on the roof gardens. In some cases It would seem that the street piano merely prolonged the life of the pop ular song. It Is remarkable that comparatively few of the Instruments have found their way to the far western states. Perhaps It Is because there , always seems to be room for one more In .the crowded cities of the cast. But It Is stated that a syndicate has been formed to buy and operate a largo num ber of pianos throughout western cities. This has the > alr of a peanut stand syndi cate , although ilt ls probable that several financial deals would bo made with belated compose vvholwould wish to deluge the public with their music. A large number of pianos aroiseat south , to Cuba , Haytl and to Lntln-Amorlcan countries generally. A piano recently shipped to Santiago was sent In small ecctloDi , because It was necessary to pack It on ) the back * of burros over the tops of mountains. Spanish dance music only was used , TAKING PL/AOB / OP VILLAGE BANDS. Another re'mn'rhable phase of the street plauo queatldp Is that largo 'numberu of the Instrument are being told to dancing matter * In frtii/tll / towns and In several caaea to country theatern. There will bo but Ilttlo need of Tillage Untla If this ktepa on , and the occupation of blind country fiddlers will bo gone. Tor ( Inuring purposes the Instruments are more to bo desired thnn the uncertain offices of the average country pianist , especially where the keeping of perfect time I * concerned They arc also being twtd on the BUKCS of theaters In larger cities. Uentnnn Thomp- i > on heard a piano under hl hotel window In New York playing "The HunMiIno of Paradise Alley. " U was tnr llr.it time the selection had be ° n sent out ou the street. Ho Inquired of the Italian where the piano was in a do and having found out ordered an Instrument to be made for him with n set of tunes of which "Paradlne Alley" was the first. Among them arc the "Irish man from Dublin. " "She Might Flirt with Others. " etc. , etc. , but "Paradise Alley" la the best liked. The Instrument Is tuned to orchestral pitch and the resident musi cians at the theaters where the Thompson pln > s arc shown nre enabled to accom pany It when It pcrformn on the stage. Street pianos wcro Imported , except In a few Instances , until several > cnrs ago. The Incivnneil tariff rate on musical Instru ments , however , has placed the monopoly of the American inntnifncti.ro In the hands of two or three Italian firms In New York. No part of the Instrument la patented , > ot outsiders do not attempt to enter what Is on extremely lucrative business. This Is be cause the making of street pianos \s \ not an exact science. U cannot hv readily learned ; It must be absorbed Intuitively. There are only a few men In the United States who can adapt the popular music of the day to thrio Instruments. They are autocrats In their way and commend from TO to $10 In wages a day. They would command more If they realized their Importance. Their work Is very Interesting. Ordinary musicians do not seem to comprehend it. Not only must the popular song be adapted and embel lished so that the result Is equivalent to the playing of six hands on nn ordinary plauo , but \erv often this must bo ilonu on n very limited number of strings. There arc no useless or rnthcr unused strings In the street piano. Only those strings actually used In the ten tunes ordinarily played are put In. The Instruments are then only capable of being played In three or four ke > , generally C , G , I ) and A. When U comes to rcndapl- Ing new sets of tunes to an old piano it re quires skillful work on the part of the adapter , who must niter the tune to suit the limits of the Instrument , and jet to dose so without the fact becoming apparent. Thus a brilliant run or the striking of several notes simultaneously will be made to cover up the absence of an otherwise essential note. Sometimes as high as twenty-four notes are struck simultaneously In these In struments. CONSTRUCTION OF TUB INSTRUMENT Imported Instruments have a chromatic scale and can bo adjusted to play any se lection In any key. Therefore It will seem likea paradox to assert that they do not play as loudly as ( ho native Instruments , which have a much smaller number of strings. This Is because the chromatic Bralc , taking In , as It docs , all sharps and flats , occupies a lengthy space and has several octaves sacrificed to Its chromatic quality In order to contain It within an easily transportable case. The native piano , on the other hand , containing only such strings as arc used , Is capable of being played In several octa\es or rather to have the corresponding notes In several octaves struck simultaneously. The scale Is chro matic only In the high treble on which the roubdcs nro played. Further down there Is apt to be a frequent Jump of sev eral notes In the scale , but this method enables parts of half a dozen octa\es to bo arranged within the box. Instead of one string being struck , as In the foreign Instruments , the corresponding string in every octave Is sounded , producing a vol ume many times louder than a single note would be. The number of notes In street pianos ranges from thirty-nine to sixty. Another reason why the street piano plays so loudly In that every treble key ls com posed of five strings every middle clef key of four and every bass key of three All of the bass strings arc of celled wire. Native Instruments are preferred by the grinders because the music Is more gener ally UD to date. The music of the street piano Is produced something like that of the old time music boxes. A cjUnder covered with Ilttlo pro jecting steel pin points revolves inside the outer case. Certain of the pin points In passln ; ; nrovni ) come In contact with o < l re lease small si ring trip hammers , which beat against the strings. The size , length and frequency of the pin points determine the variety , time and expression of the notis to bo plajed. The placing of these pinpoints pointsIs the work of the music adapters Some adapters arc exceedingly expert In marking a CUnder. The variation of a thirty-second of an Inch or even less , would cause n note to be struck too late or too eaily , changing the whole effect of the time. The adapter first takes a tune and embel lishes It with variations on an ordinary piano. Ho adjusts and changes the tune to suit the capacity of the street piano , cut ting It down so that a single turn of the cylinder will complete the tuno. This he can do almost to a note before he begins to mark the cylinder. He plays and writes the plain tune- and Imagines the runs. Aft erward he writes the upper luns and Im agines the plain tune. He cannot play both together on an ordinary piano. Ho would need to have sK hands to do so. Ho com pletes the whole composition , beautifying it and making It highly acceptable to all grades of the critical American public with out once putting In a pin point. Ho merely marks on the cylinder the spot whcio each pin Is to bo Inserted. A machine attended by a girl does the actual Inserting of the pin * . Very Ilttlo reinserting or straighten ing , If any. Is needed if the cylinder has been marked by an expert adapter. Several of these men have taken first-class diplomas In well known musical colleges abroad. Street pianos range In price from $100 to $250. The average price Is from $123 to $175 , according to size , number of selections and exterior finish. The. Insertion of a now cylinder or cunplcto new set of tunes costs the enterprising organ grinder from $20 to $50 , depending on the style of his instru ment. One new tune costs from $2.50 to $0. Altogether a street piano Is a complex Investment for an old tlmo organ grinder , but as several have been enabled to go back to Italy and llvo like princes among the peasantry , there can be no doubt concern ing the rate of Interest returned.

MlnlNler Arri'Nlt'il for Chipping SlniieN from WiiHliljiKtuii Monument. A dispatch from Washington says Mar tin L. Rhodes , a Methodist preacher from Flanders , Morris county , N. J. , who was In Washington on his bridal trip , was charged with destroying public property In chipping some stone from the Washing ton monument with his umbrella. He was arrested by a special officer , and came to court with his pretty wife , a blonde , dressed In a slate-colored walking dress and a utyl- Ish , tight-fitting English box coat. She wore a smart toque and a black boa around her slender , white throat. Her husband waa dressed In the austere , conventional black of hla calling , and showed considerable trepidation on the stand. Ho acknowledged his guilt , and after the officer had shown the pieces of stone the defendant had bro ken from ono of the marble blocks , said nervously : "Your honor , I did chip these pieces because my wlfo asked me. " Tbo preacher cast an anxious glance at her , as ehe concealed the blush on her face among the feathers of her boa. "Ho gave n pretty good Jab with his um brella , " said the officer , "to break the slab , and I thought ho should bo arrested. " "You acted perfectly right , " ( sold the Judge , frowning at the minister. "Tho Idea of pei plo breaking pieces from the monument ! I can't understand what Insane Impulse prompts them to do It. What use are those tiny fragments of stone to them ? " Ills honor stared at the chips , whllo the preacher cleat ed hla throat and his wife blushed on additional shade of scarlet. "You arc fined $10. sir , " said the Judge. "Is that the best you can do ? " asked Mr. Rhodes , as he fished In his pocket for some money. "I will make It $20 If you think $10 too light , " Bald the judge. The preacher hurriedly paid the $10 with out a word , and ho and his blushing bride , who wanted a piece of the monument , loft the court room. They are 10 llttio you hardly know you are taking them.

The great tide of travel In nnd out of the executive mansion , better known tn the world nt large an the vvhlto bouse , Ins left Its mark In places anil Is slowly but sureb rounding off the sharp edges of the linn ! blue s'.one that forms the threshold nt the main entrance.

The dimensions remain thi same nt present , but thnt U so only be cause Its nurfnco hns been restored by the addition of n new ( lagrtonc , which matches the original , nnd Is so cleanly adjusted an to escape general notice. The change war m title nbotit fourteen ycnrs ngo , nnd was necessitated by the condition of the original stone , the upper surface of which had betn worn away for about four Inches nnd presented an unseemly concavity , deepening toward the outer edge. The damaged portion was hollowed out by the masons to an cvct depth , nml nn cntltely new piece of ston put In , thus icstorlng the step to Its original condition EO far as Its general appearance Is concerned. Hvery one who enters or lenves the man sion by the front doorway steps upon thli thin strip of stcne , and It has already again lost Its level surface. U Is n good , hard stone , however , nnd will probably outlaat much of the material used In the original construction of the mansion. It has received the full force of the constant stream ol humanity flowing In and out of the presl dent's olllclal home , and shows the effects thereof probably more than any other com poncnt part of the building. Considering Its hard add constant usage the white house shows leas signs of wear and tear than Is generally supposed. It Is the mecca of all political pilgrimages to Washington nnd the objective point of all tourists nnd sightseers. A visit to the national rapllal without a personal Inspec tion of the homo of the president would bo Incomplete , and a call upon the chief magis trate of the- nation has come to be tcgarded as in essential feature of every conven tion. assembly or reunion held In the eltj U therefore follows that the house lion many visitors. Cnptnln Dubols , the thlrf usher , estimates that an nvcrago of f > 00 persons , mostly sightseers , pass tluough the building every day , Sundas excepted , dur ing the four hours It Is open to the pub lic , viz. , from 10 to 2 o'clock. During the eight days' session of the Christian En deavor society 32,702 persons went through tlui publio parlors ntuV the number of visitors was ever greater , In Captain Du bols' opinion , during the reunion of the Grnnd Army of the Republic In 1S92. und during the conclave of the Knights Templnr thrco years before. THI-WHEKIA' IinCni'TIONS. Naturally , the Influx of visitors Is greater In winter , when the president and his fam ily are at home , than In the summer , when they nre usually nvvay at the seashore or mountains. When the president Is In the city ho usually holds Informal receptions In the cost room three times n week. These affairs me exceedingly popular with the visiting public and are Invariably well at tended. They afford probablj the only op portunity that the strangers within our gates hnvo of paying their respects to the president and shaking hinds with him. According to Captain Dubols , the nttenil- once at thci > e receptions averages about 250 persons In the spring and autumn nnd nbout " 00 persons In tbo winter innnlha , when congress Is In session. It Is not an uncommon occurrence for the president to receive a thousand persons In nn afternoon and on one occasion within the past > r.ir 1,300 persons enjoyed the privilege of grasp ing Iho hand of the chief executive. As Captain Dubols puts It. during the four hours that the house Is open every dav the east room Is ns free to the public as tin sidewalks of the city , and the only restric tion to persons desiring to como In Is that In rnlny weather they shall leave their wet umbrellas In the rack In the outer hall. No chnngo whatever Is necessary In the matter of shoes or wearing apparel : but while not required , visitors with muddy shoes are ex pected to use the mats provided for that pvrpose , before crossing the threshold ol the beautiful east loom. Once Inside , visi tors are frco to vromcnade or sit on the chairs or sofas ns their fancies dictate , no long as they violate none of the ordinary rules of good behavior. There la one thing that many visitors from way back districts seem to have a predilection for that is strictly prohibited. That Is using the apartment as a dining room. It used to be a common thing for our country cousins in town for a day to eat their lunchcuns In the cast room , and It became quite n rendezvous with excursion parties for that purpose. The practice was found to bo ob'/ttlonn ble , however , Inasmuch as It tended to soil the carpet and furniture. Nevertheless , II was tolerated up to three yeats ago , when the privilege was so badly abused that It was thenceforth curtailed It was during the annual Caster Monday celebration Ir the president's grounds , when the children made eo bold as to extend their frolics to the east room. There- was no harm In th.il especially , and the ushers and doorkeepers really enjojcd watching the Innocent pas times of the children. When the fun was over , however , nnd It became necessary to clean up the room. It was found thnt several eggs had broken on the floor and made n pretty mc.ss. It took several days to get the stains out of the carpet , and since that tlmo all visitors carry ing lunch baskets have been politely re quested to leave them outside. TIID WI3AU AND TEAU. U Is said tliat the carpet on the cast loom suffers less from its use by Hlghtsecrs than it dees from the frequent decoration of the room for the state dinners und evening re ceptions during the social season. On thoio occasions the room Is elaborately decorated with tropical and subtropical plants , all of which nre brought In from the outside. It usually takes eight wagon loads of plants to provide the decorations for each of these functions. The plantH nro In large tubs and pots , and are usually rolled over the carpet to their places , being too heavy to curry conveniently. A liberal supply of cias.li Is used , but It does not entirely protect the carpet. These heavy plants are ranged around the room and In the window re cesses , and , despite all precautions , leave unsightly marks behind them That thin process should have u iv cat Ing effect on the carpet Is not surprising , when It is recalled that there are three state dinners and five levees or receptions every winter , at each of which the heavy plants are hauled In and out of the room , to say nothing of the effect of the heavy tread of the workmen engaged In their proper arrangement. Similar HCIICS nro enacted , but on n much smaller scale. of the ladli-n at the afternoon card receptions of the house. Notwithstanding the almost constant usi . winter and summer , the carpets nnd furni ture show comparatively little moro wear nnd tear than similar nrtlclcH In the houses of private cltl/ens who entertain on a large scale. This Is undoubtedly due to Iho ox- cullent care bestowed upon them , and nluo because the visitors , as n ruin , are careful and considerate In their treatment of Iho furniture. They nro allowed perfect free dom In the 110 of the sofas and chairs , and , with few I'xcrpllcns , respect ihn privilege.

The new carpets coat Jit the rate of $1 97 % n yanl. and the total cost of the car pet for the cnst room was J930 This figure Includes the expense of making , lining nnd laving. Tlio new carpel has n velvet fitir- face of the color of old gold to match the furniture , and has flowers ami other orna mentation of n darker buff tint It Is said to be a more attractive carpet thnn the AMiilnstcr ratpct that has done such good service In the east room for the past nix years. As Is well known , the carpets aroused used only In the winter time when the president's family Is at homo. When they grr nvvay In the summer the i entire house Is thoroughly overhauled and renovated The carpets nro taken up , the window hunglnirt removed , the sofns nnd chairs covered nnd the bric-a-brae Is care fully stored.
