He has six children in the White House and has made it, in its domestic aspect, a typical erican home. His childten attend the public schools in Wash- gton and ask no odds and get none because their father is President. One of the pleasant sights of Washington is these children at play in the back lot of the White House, where they make mud pies, do great jobs of teaming in their toy express wagons and get dirty, hungry and happy, like natural children should. The President did not speak for any “set,”” nmor omit any. He is at home in all, and learns from all and teaches all, the simple duties of life. THE COMING SEA FIGHT. TTENTION is strained tn\\'arrl fl\c Eastern waters, where the A Russian and Japanese fleets are feeling for each other. The Russian admiral is fairly under observation, and what is known about the position of his ships is pieced out by speculation. He could never have felt his way so far except by straining French neutrality | to the point where a Japanese protest has become necessary. But even this touching French jurisdiction has given occasional glimpses of him. No doubt Japanese are in all the ports he has made and are in other positions from which they can report to their Government. Bu it is not possible for Russian spies to spot Togo. So far as the | world’s knowledge of his position is concerned he might as well be sailing the skies as the seas. The number of ships available in the fleet of Rojestvensky is known. But the number in Togo’s is left to speculation. He may outnumber the Russian or be outnumbered. No one knows. This mystery adds to the interest of the situation. Since Salamis no sea fight has been of such import as that which is impending. It may occur so far out on deep water that the world will know nothing of it until the victor sights land somewhere. It is possible for the fleets to entirely disable each other and for the great ships to sink into a common grave. The fate of nations has before this depended on a battle on the water, but no such battle was ever approached through such a veil of mystery. Japan has a naval history. Russia has none, but is about to ~ake a history for her navy, either for or against the prestige of the empire. The strain cannot continue much longer. The fleets must e in touch very soon, and the soul of old Neptune will revel in the greatest fight that ever took place in his dominion, THE PRESS OF THE NATION.

I don't mean just plain, ordinary houseclean- ing, with its necessary hiccompaniment of curtain washing, earpet beating and the like. Most of you are sufficiently phils osophical to accept that as an inev- itable evil and you make the best of such little ipconveniences as slipping on a bar of soap left by careless Bridget in the hall and taking your meals at a restaurant for a day or two. What I really refer to is the sort of house renovation that means a virtual transformation of the domestic lapd- ! scape—the sort which somehow seems to have become necessary to the modern woman, with her restless craving for change and diversion. Of course, you men don’t under- stand it. The generic hatred your sex feels for anything like a change in the | domestic scenery precludes the possi- bility of your comprehending woman’s oppoqte tendency. The average man could go comfort- ably and happily on his way year in and year out with never a desire to | gee one article of furniture in his | home taken from its accustomed | place. In fact, he would strenuously | object to seeing his surroundings al- Vtered. He wants his desk to remain !in the old familiar corner forever if need be, and his easy chair ditto, He has a fixed place whereon to keep his pipe or other smoking things and there he insists they shall stay. And so he fails altogether to under- | stand why & woman finds it necessary for her peace of mind to change the position of every articls of furniture in the house and have the rooms done over in new colors. regard such & proceeding as the fool- AT THE VAUDEVILLE..

It is frequently remarked that women crave change more than men. They need it more than do men. You men who spend so little of your time at home and who have so many more opportunities for diversion and change of scene than your wives— think what it must be to look day af- ter day upon the same domestic scen- ery! Any woman who is compelled to pass much time at home grows tired of seeing the same pictures hanging in the same place and the same ar- rangement of bric-a-brac morning, noon and night. To a woman her home is her world and when the fact of that world re- mains the same year in and year out the effect is deadly in its monotony. Merely transforming the fittings of a room may act as a mental tonic—a suggestion that diverts.the mind from well worn ruts into fresh channels of interest. Monotony means a low rate of mental and spiritual vibration. So do not ridicule your wife when the fever for change seizes her. En- courage her to satisfy the craving— and incidentally be thankful if she does not demand a more expensive change of scene. A FISH STORY.

He condemns the woman’'s craving for .change as a sort of mania which should be dis- couraged. And it is right here that my coun- sel to the husband comes in. You should remember, sir, that a woman's life, which is largely spent between four walls, needs varfety. Spring housecleaning, in affording a woman this opportunity to alter her surround- ings, is a boon and a blessing to her. Life, even at its best, tends to run “En he'll try fer ter git you On his line, En he'll tell de folks You wuz six-foot nine!” Den de catfish say: “Le's swim up higher— ‘We don’t want to 'sociate ‘Wid no sich lar!" —Atlanta Constitution.

Kohl of San Mateo, | daughter of the late Captain Wiiliam Hohl, to Evans S. Pillsbury, an attor- ney of this city. No date for the wed- ding has yet been fixed, but it is ex- pected to take place before the end of the year. . . . Charles FI. Lombard will be host at a reception in the Sequoia Club on Sunday afternoon from 4 to 6. The event will be of double impor- tance, as it is a farewell to Miss An- nie Frances Diriggs and also celebrates the opening of the ngw clubrooms at 58 Sutter street. A few members of the Margaret Anglin company will also be welcomed, and the affair will fair- 1y vibrate with good wishes and con- gratulation. 5 Cap and Bells holds election of of- ficers to-day. The following mem- bers are named for office for the year to come: Mrs. William P. Bucking- ham, Mrs. Squire Varrick Mooney, Mrs. Henry Tricou, Mrs. E. B. Grace, Mrs. A. C. Freeman, Mrs. W. 8.

It insures many happy times for the friends, and Miss Burnie Owens has been most hospitabls this winter in her parents’ apartments at the Cecil. The engagement is announced of Miss Carmelita Castello and Jules Clerfayt. Miss Castello is a sister-in-law of E. R. Miller, president of the Owl Drug Company, and is well known as a mu-~ siclan. Mr. Clerfayt is the general agent of the Trans-Siberian Rallway | Company. -_— AN 0DD EPITAPH. “Franklin’s epitaph, where he com- pared himself to an old book, is known to all of us,” said an antiquariap to a Philadelphia Bulletin man. “Here is a copy of a less famous epitaph, the epi- taph of a watchmaker, George Ritter, who compared himself to a watch that had run down.” The man tock out hll notebook. | “George Ritter,” he sald, “lived In| New Hampshire, in the town of New- port. He died in 1328." Then he read: “Here lies, in horizontal position, the outside case of George Ritter, whose abiding place In that line was an honor to his profession. Integrity was his mainspring and prudence the regulator of all the actions of his life. Humane, generous and liberal, his hand never stopped till he had relieved distress. He never went wrong, except when set a-going by people who did not knew his key. Even then he was easily set right again. He had the art of dispens- ing of his time so well that his hours | glided by in one continual round of pleasure and delight, till an unlucky minute put an end to his existence, He departed this life September 11, | His case rests and molders and decays | beneath the sod, but his good works will ‘never die.” ————— OLD AGE REMEDY. Curdled milk of a special kind, pre- pared only on a Bulgarian recipe, is now supposed to be a remedy against growing old. Xavier Dybovski has made a communication on the subject to the Academy of Medicine. The sub- stance is called yaghurt, and can now be obtained in tins in Paris. It is sup- posed to be death to all the inimical bacteria in the intestines, while those friendly microbes to which Professor Metchnikoff pins his faith positively adore it. Hence the property of yag- hurt is to prolong human life te what is its normal span—a century or so. The substance looks very like ordinary cream cheese gone bad, and tastes sim- ilarly. The solid portion is mixed with a white, thin liquid, which is exceeding- ly sour. People who wish to live to a hundred breakfast off yaghurt exclu- sively. . Townsend’s Cala.

Botanists look upon the immor- telles and other flowers of the order Compositae as fadeless flowers because they suffer little change in appearance in drying and may be kept for many years without much diminution of beauty. Recently Luther Burbank has succeeded in adding to the list of fade- less flowers. WARM CURRENT-Old Subseriber, Oakland, Cal. On the coast of Call- | fornfa and Mex!co from about 50 north to the mouth of the gulf of California, 23 north, a cold current 200 or 300 miles wide flows with a mean speed of 7-10 of & knot, stronger near the land than at sea. Inside of this current there is a counter current flowing to the north- ward occaslionally which is warmer than the one It passes through. This flows generally near the land. JAPANESE ARMY—Subseriber, Wil- lits, Cal. When the question as to the strength of regimental and other for- mations of the Japanese army was sub- mitted to those who are in a posi- tion to know, the statement was made that a battallon In time of peace is made up of three or four companies, a regiment of from 1000 to 1200 men and a division of from 10,000 to 12,000 men, but that in war time it is different and that the figures are not made publie. — MARRIAGE—F.'B.
