KRooms in White House

There is no official record of the number of rooms in the White House, as it depends entirely upon what one would call rooms. Practically all of the bedrooms have attached to them valet rooms. There are corridors used as sitting rooms and waiting rooms which could also be counted; then one might include the pantries and kitchens. On such a basis. there are over 50 rooms in the White House.

Perfume Old Commodity Perfume which we define as a sweet fragrance, was one of the most useful and inferesting of ancient commodities. Tt was used for innumerable things, but mostly for religious and medicinal purposes. The queen of Sheba is said to have given to King Solomon an abundance of spices and’ wood of which perfume was made. These were reported as being of very high vilue. - ' : . ; Married Elderly Wives Among well known men w! ze wives were older than they were are the following: Josephine was older than Napoleon ;. Cathierine of Aragon was older than Henry VIII; Mary Stuart was colder than Francis 11 of France: Jenny Lind was older than Oftto Goldschmidt; Disraeli’s wife was his elder. s - Emerson “Made’” Whitman - When Walt Whitman’s “Leaves .of Grass” first appeared, it did not attract attention till a letter from Emerson to Whitman calling the volume “the most oxiraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed” was published in the New York Tribune, This created a demand for it g , Brainiest of Devices : According to scientists, the automatie telephone exchange is the brainist- of all mechanical devices.. The remarkuble assemblage of apparatus sorts out the one telephone line desired from millions of others whenever the proper series of numbers are turned on the dial. : ' Coming Man Goes Back ' There were no signals in the early days of railways. When drivers of trains met on-a single line they had to ‘argue ‘it out. Later, & post was erecied midway between stativns so that “he who had passed the pillar must go on, and the coming mun‘gh back.” 0 : : Climatic Effects . | Americans who go to the Arctic regions suffer from headache, as a rule. This is due to ice glare. Also, the white man from the temperate zone is troubled with dryness of skin and ‘boils and pimples, due to the lowered resistance of tissue following freezing cold. 2

’ Mr. Henoch Writes S S July 7-29 | Friend Harrison ; | ; We left Boston last Saturday and %af_ter, a pleasant but uneventful wee.k% jexcept the sighting of.a few icebergs tand a whale, we arrived at Reykjavik ’(pronoun‘ced Resh-a-vik) the capital! 'of Iceland, = | ! The first day out the weather was ‘fine but after that it was disagree-] ‘able having turned cold and windy gwith three days of heavy fog. : l ; From Reykjavik we go to Hammer‘fest the most northerly town in Europe ! ithen down the coast of Norway to Ber-! ;gen w-]xe)'e we go inland by u_utomobile% i('unal and train to Oslo the capital and | ithen across Sweden by the ‘same?

It has a population of 100,000 of whicn? !one-fifth' dwell in Reykjavik.

It was from here that | !Lgif Rricsen sailed in 997 on his voy-! tage of discovery to the coast of North} lAmm'i('a. Iceland remained indepeu-? 'dent’ until 1263, when it joined with | Norway. Next the two came under i !.D;mish rule in 1381: but when .\'or.-t ‘way revolted in 1814 Iceland I'emaiu-§ sedloyal. In 1918 Denmark acknowledg | ?ed Iceland as a sovereign state nnitedg Fto the homeland only in that the Dan- | %ish King, Christian X was to be Hmf %l'lllt'l' of both countries.

The religion is’ ‘now Lautheran although in the pzts‘[! "%Icelan(l was lzu'gerly Catholic. Some{ iyeurs ago, the country consideredg ta prohibition law,; but Spain, 't‘earful. lof losing its wine market, threatened !to retaliate, by refusing to buy Ice~ ‘lalidic fish. Thys the measure failed and the sale of alcohol was simply re- . tstricted to certain hours . The pre-} ;seut inhabitants are pure blooded desicendants of the Vikings. Contrary to popular belief and despite its chilly name the temperature of this Arvctic Island is not bitter cold bhut cxireme{ly mild and delightful in Swmuer due _lto the proximity of the Guli Stream. [' Reykjavik the capital of Iceland is a charming little city of 22,022. Visitors !are always amazed to find it so mo?dern. There are macadamized streets, ’electric lights, fine stores, a movie ltheat.re, several banks, a hotel and a number of pretentious stone office ‘buildings. The people live in plain !.ﬁouses of wood or concrete:- covered éwith corrugated iron roofs and dej {corated with pretty flower boxes or tiny gardens. Although there are no tram-cars, automobiles are plentiful. | The chief industries are fishing, sheep | raising, and the manufacture of doimestic woolen goods. .

Sightseeing is a simple matter in Revkjavik, for most of the attractions 1 are within walking distance of the main pier or sloping landing plat- : form designed to accommodate the | rising and falling tides. Among the ‘ things to be segfn‘\ are the Parliament | House, the hig\ﬁschrmt and university, the old Lutheran cathedral with a small baptisaml fount by Thorvaldson, }an_d the new Roman Cathelic chureh, a small nmuseum with its exuibits of Icelandic iife, history, aund culture, laud the ~public lib¥ary. These, tOgether with a few stray statues one to Thorvaldsen and another to the first. cettlers complete the list. A motor ride of about 45 minutes over the ancient lava fields takes us to Hafnarfjordur, a small fishing village, while tyo miles from Reykjavik lie thehot springs (Laugar) used by the native women for laundry pur‘poses._ These springs are now surl'rounded by concrete and covered ‘with large iron hoops to keep the good ladies from falling into the boil‘ing water. : : ! The inhabitants of Reykjavik are lzi fine looking lot physically. Tall, ‘blonde‘ and healthy they appear the {living reincarnations of their Viking ‘ancestors.‘ On certain occasions the‘ ‘women still wear their national dress L with little black caps -and tassels. ‘Compared to the husky, people the di!minutive Iceland ponies seem quite ‘insignificant.
