WHITE HOUSE FROLIC. President Played With Six Hundred Little Xmas Guests. ROMPED WITH THEM P0E AN H0UB Played "Crack tlie Whip" at a Children's I'arty Archie Roosevelt Danced nn Old Fashioned Breakdown on Historic Dining Table A Boys' Concenf m Feature of the Fnnetion. "Nursie, rub my tutntnie!" wailed a five-year-old who had eaten everything from lee cream Santa Clauses and steamed oysters to red holly berries at the recent White House Christmas party, says a Washington dispatch to the New York World. Six hundred children, sons and daugh ters of government officials, army and navy oriicers and friends of President lloosevelt's family, were there. The invitations read, "From 4 o'clock until G:30." None was late. Some came in carriages, accompanied by nurses and maids. Mrs. Roosevelt had maids to straighten out girls' curls and rearrange girls' clothing, while Steward Pinckney performed a similar service for the boys. Some of the children sbyly wandered about until spied by the Roosevelt children, who quickly made them fet-! zt home. Archie Roosevelt sought h!s old friends among the boys and saJ to them, "Now. you fellers m-v! n!p ine entertain." The shy and nervous quick ly were put at their ease and taken upstairs, where the Marine band was playing. The music stimulated the e'snjdren, and soon all were playing and romping about. Everywhere were lights. Christmas greens, flowers and music. Mrs. Roosevelt greeted her little guests in the green room, wishing them all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Mrs. Roosevelt was surrounded by the wives of cabinet officers. Major McCauley, in the gorgeous uniform of the United States marine corps, introduced each of the little guests. After meeting Mrs. Roosevelt the children went to the historic east room and at the door were given a souvenir a bit of cerise ribbon with a white button inscribed "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." In the east room the youngsters for an hour listened to music by a boys' concert company from Chicago. There were eleven numbers, and some of the younger children began to show signs of impatience. "Refreshments will be served in the state dining room," an usher announced, but few of the children knew where the state dining room was. Led by Archie Roosevelt and his churns, however, they quickly found their way. The big mahogany table, at which have been dined famous personages for a hundred years, was decorated with candelabra, holly and ferns. In silver dishes were bonbons, fancy cakes and other good things to eat. Four big Santa Clauses stood guard at each corner of the table, and at the end of the room was the Christmas tree, which had been dressed and kept as a surprise by Archie Roosevelt. f The children were soon enjoying themselves, eating of everything offered. After the table had been cleared Archie Roosevelt hopped up on the table and danced an old fashioned breakdown, while his boon companions looked on and cheered. After leaving the dining room the children fonued little parties and scattered ail over the mansion. Youngsters with candy gummed fingers made im :ons cn the walls, but nobody Mrs. Roosevelt had medicines at nund, and whenever a cry of pain was heard the youngster was taken in hand by Surgeon General Rixey, who administered to the overworked stomach. The older children began dancing in the east room while the younger ones had a romp, playing games and "exploring." At the height of the fun President Roosevelt joined the youngsters at play and romped with them for an hour. "Why. he's just like any other man, ain't he?" said one delighted child when the president was playing "crack the whip" with them. During the dancing in the east room many of the children fell because, of the exceeding slipperiness of the floor. President Roosevelt tried to pick them up as fast as they fell, but they fell too fast. He had to call for aid. and Major MeCauley, with his clanking sword, and many of the ushers assisted him. Absolutely no restraint was put on the children. They had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. This was the first children's party of any magnitude since the days of President Tyler. Fathers and grandfathers of many of the children present today attended the fancy dress ball given in honor of President Tyler's granddaughter, Mary Fairlie Tyler. Little Miss Tyler was dressed as Titania. and 300 children were her guests. Mrs. Cleveland gave children's parties, but the guests included only the children of intimate friends. Mrs. Roosevelt has given two previous children's parties, but the guests on neither occasion numbered more than thirty or forf. Some Youthful Ideas. One of the graduates of the State Normal school, who is teaching in southern Maryland, has started a collection of "remarks" of her scholars, says the Daltimore Sun. A composition by a bright twelve-year-old chap on "Buttermaking" began with the logical remark that "it is necessary to save up your money and buy a cow to mak? butter." "Sarcasm Is something that comes in cans" U, the teacher vows, a definitioa given her recently. t

TWO AND A PLUM-TREE

Copyright, 1S03, by T. C. McClure. They had been standing beneath the plum tree when they quarreled, or,, rather, when they parted. They had set out for the plum tree rith the full intention of gathering the great purple damsons which weighted Its branches, but when finally they stood In the long shadow which the tree made in the afternoon sun damsons were the last things in the world of which they thought. Betty, scarlet to the roots of her copper colored hair, withdrew all censorship from her tongue and said things which she would have indignantly disclaimed had any one repeated them to her an hour later. Jerrold listened silently, but iu his eyes was a strange look which she had never seen before. When in the midst of the tirade she paused for breath, he had turned suddenly on his heel, and with a curt "goodby" cast over his shoulder much as a bone viould be thrown to a stray dog, Betty thought he had vaulted the low fence and gone wrathfully across the pasture. Betty watched him until a clump pf j scrub oak bid him from view. Thou, she sat down with her back against the trunk of the plum tree and thought it all over. As she thought angry tears came to her eyes, coursed down her cheeks and : splashed impudently on the hands clasped tightly in her lap. She sat there until the shadow of the tree had reached the fence, and the breeze coming in from the water made her shiver. She rose and turned her face toward the scrub oaks behind whih he had disappeared. "You left rather abruptly, Mr. Jerrold Neil," she said between her white teeth, "and you may stay away as long as j'ou please. You're hardly worth crj'ing over," she added as she brushed away her tears. Neil next morning sat on the veranda of the casino, solemnly rolling and smoking innumerable cigarettes, which utterly failed to bring him the peace of mind he sought. Catboats with trim white sails were darting to and fro in the bay, and each one suggested the joys of a morning sail with Betty. But the memory of the parting at the plum tree was still strong within him. A wretched hour dragged past, and he gave up his vain attempts to interest himself in the columns of the morning paper. He Hung away his cigarette and, getting to his feet, strolled down the gravel path. "I'm a fool," he mused, "and a brute. I needn't have left her in that fashion. By George! I'll go over to the pi tun f tree and get some of those damson', j I'll send 'em up to her by Tom. She'll : understand." Mr. Jerrold Neil strode across the fields whistling a gay aria. He emerged from the clump of scrub "oak in the pasture and made straight for the plum tree. As he spied the tree one note of the aria was prolonged Into a whistle of surprise. Against the base of the tree was a stepladder, and among the branches he caught a momentary flash of white muslin. Then he resumed the aria, quite as if this delightful bit of information had not been vouchsafed to him. He took down the stepladder, folded it up and calmly sat down on it. Something suspiciously like a gasp of dismay came from the branches above his head, but to this he gave no heed. With his chin in his palm he sat on the stepladder and sighed ponderously before he began to muse aloud. " 'Tis strange," said Mr. Jerrold Neil j beneath the plum tree" 'tis passing strange how the human heart will al- j ways seek the scenes of its affliction- ' It was here we quarreled" another sigh. "She said O Lord, what didn't she say? If I'm all she made me out she's well done with me" sighs ad libitum. lie drew out a pipe and filled and lighted it. By vigorous puffing he managed to send quite a respectable cioud of smoke up among the branches. A little choking cough rewarded his efforts, and it was with difficulty that he restrained a chuckle. Presently a wee, small voice crept down from the branches: ' Mr. Neil!" Neil started violently. "Ah," he said, "my trouble has brought on hallucinations! Methought I heard my own name. 'Twas Betty's voice, but far too small and weak." "Mr. Neil!" This time the voice wras loud and clear. "There it goes again!" cried Nell. "Surely Betty's, yet she always called me Jerry, with such a pretty accent." "Jerry, jou you wretch!" came the voice, accented to the queen's taste. "Oho!" said Neil. "So it's really you, eh?" , "Yes no. Don't look up. Jerry, please put the ladder against the tree, then walk across the pasture, and don't look back." "Don't look up, don't look back," said he mockingly. "Suppose I comply. What do I get for it?" "What do yon want, you haggler?" "A half hour's talk under the tree." "You yon've got me cornered," she said. "I'll hare to capitulate." A few minutes later Betty sat on the stepladder, and Neil sprawled comtortably at her feet. "Bet," he said, "I spent the mot miserable morning of my life until I came over here. Tell me, when I came along were you thinking of me, or what?" Sh- laughed. "I was wishing I might fall out of the plum tree and break my neck," she Raid. "Mi'tfam," he said gravely, "since you are so reckless with your own life you'd better give It into my keeping." And once mere the damsons were for gotten. , BAIiliY PRESTON.

FOR DOMESTIC SCIENCE

Chicago Women Interested In Project of National Scope. COLLEGES TO TEACH E0ME WORK. Hott Group of Women Would Train Girls For Management of Homes. Sirs. Henrotln Declares That Ireent Methods Are Educating Youn Women Away From Their True Sphere. Domestic science taught In all schools and universities attended by women, with college degrees for managers of households and general recognition of the art of providing comforts and luxuries for the home, is the dream of a group of Chicago women, says a Chieago dispatch. These ladies say they do not wish to be looked upon as extreme propagandists who would found conservatories of cookery where professors of pastry and doctors of doughnuts would expound theories, but they do desire to spread the doctrine that women in all grades of life ought to be learned in economics of the home in the laws of i ygiene as in the languages. The foundation of national life, the home, is declared to be in need of fos tering care. The danger is said to be greatest in the so called educated classes "and among those who are striving to attain a false education which they consider higher." It is proposed to form an association of expert housekeepers who will take up the question of domestic science with public educators and enlarge the scope of the School of Domestic Arts and Sciences established in Chicago three years ago. The promoters of thf association hope then to go beyoud the confines of the city and state and induce the great institutions vhere feminine students go to add to their curricula studies in chemistry of fooJ, bacteriology and sanitation. Particularly is it designed to eave from a life of tea drinking and scandal mongering the girl who comes out of school, in which home management and home occupations have found little place. Such a girl, while taught to demand a reason for everything, is In many cases intrusted with the co-duct of a household where she is given no reason for anything except usage. To the mind trained in the ave.age university such an occupation is not worth while. It is too confining, and the possessor of It too often turns to frivolities when she is not abusing her servants to her neighbors. The Chicago Woman's club as a body is championing the movement, and its president. Mrs. Charles Ilenrotin. isoutsp ,Icen in her advocacy- The club devoted an afternoon recently to discussion of the subject after listening to a paper by Mrs. Lyuden Evans, who is the head of the School of Domestic Arts nd Sciences. The fact that within the last few years the universities of Chicago, Wisconsin and Michigan had begun the teaching of chemistry of foods, bacteriology and kindred branches was hailed as a most encouraging sign. "I think domestic science should be taught in public and private schools," said Mrs. Henrotia. "This idea, which was frowned upon by most educators at first, has been gaining ground in the last two years. An active educational movement along these lines has been going on in a quiet way, and now it has reached such proportions in Chicago that it is planned to take up the propo sition with the board of education. This is not a fad. but a serious work along right lines." "We have in the United States 15,000.000 private homes," said Mrs. Evans. "It i3 a safe conclusion that every' home must have some kind of a housekeeper. Add to these 15,000,000 housekeepers 2.000.000 domestic workers, and we have at least 17,000,000 women engaged in homemaking as against 3.000,000 in outside occupations.. Homemaking, occupying as it does 17.000.000 women, who hold in their hands the comfort of and health of so many other millions, has no place in our census, and the future student of these records may well suppose that only 5W.0O0 out of the 24.MK.000 of the sex were doing nothing. This labor of maintaining " a household, rearing children and struggling with the servant problem is considered worthy of no record. Why? Because the women who pursue it have belittled it,' have failed to organize, classify, uplift. "Our present educational system unfits the woman for her home life by lowering her ideal of the home, while it does not as a rule fit her for anything else that is useful. The absolute incompetency of the average girl when she first comes from school is only fully realized by the parent who tries to fit her into usefulness in the home or the friend who seeks to find her employment elsewhere." Herbert Spencer's Ear Clips. The late Herbert Spencer used in his later years to pay visits to Mr. Grant Allen, between whom and himself there existed a great friendship, says the London correspondent of the New York Post. On one occasion he came pre vided with two curious objects tied behind his ears. These excited the curiosity of the company. Their purpose was soon disclosed, for whenever the conversation took n turn which did not Interest him he pulled the things over his ears and so obtained silence witli in himself. He called them ear clips. IlnKNtau Army Kiiilpnienl. In the matter of equipment the Russian army is up to date in every particular. It has a special balloon department, cyclist corps even dogs are pressed iulu the service of the great white czar. 4 .

A MACHINE THAT TALKS. Infirenlou Invention of m. Frenchman lias Lips and TeetU. A talking machine that has created do little sensation is tliat Just produced by Dr. 11. Marage, a well known member of the French Academy of Medicine. It is an interesting device, which reproduces with perfect accuracy the sounds of the human voice, not, as In the case of the phonograph, by merely repeating words spoken by persons, but by a process which is purely mechanical from start to finish and in which no word is spoken by any human being. The sounds are produced by a system of vibration, says the London Sketch. Attached to the machine is a series of piaster heads, live in all, representing the five vowels, a, e, 1, .?. u. They are each a perfect model ot y person's mouth, fitted with pliable Itps vnd perfect teeth. Air currents Sit In motion by the machine are made to pass through the dummy mouths, which are fitted with sirens. Through hfs invention Dr. Marage has discovered that the steam sirena csed on board ships can be so con structed as to imitate certain sounds. Thus different phonetic syllables may be obtained which could be used to form tn international alphabet. By an ingenious contrivance attached to this wonderful instrument it Is possible to see reflected in a tiny mirror thQ Focal chords of a singer. By the same device one can also race their action and see how, as the note gets higher, the aperture between them becomes less and less, until when the top note is reached it is almost closed. As the force of air current expelled becomes stronger the opening decreases in size. It increases as the force becomes less. ' The smaller the aperture the greater the vibration. This is how human beings get their singing voices. "There is no mystery about it," declares Dr. Marage. "It i a purely mechanical process, based on known laws of higher mechanics. The A'e-vr British Ambassador. Sir Mortimer Durand. the new ambassador to Washington, has a.'ways been my beau Ideal of an English gentleman and diplomatist, without fear and without reproach. Sir Mortimer is a tall, handsome man of superb physique and with the bearing of a well set up soldier, it has been said that he is one of the few men who can wear the diplomatic uniform without looking ridiculous in it- With strangers he has a grave, dignified and very polite, though somewhat distant, manner, but In reality he possesses a most genial disposition and is gentle and tender hearted as a woman. I have often thought he assumed this rather haughty demeanor in order to protect his too vulnerable good nature from being constantly assailed. In any case, it stood him in good stead in his relations with orientals of the first rank, who despise levity of manner in high officials. Sir Mortimer loves sport and outdoor exercise, but when he has important work in hand will devote himself to it for fifteen hours a day, if necessary, and for weeks together. London M. A. P. Curious Collectors. The Parisian ragpicker is a well known character to all who have traversed the streets of that capital at night, but he has a colleague concerning whom little is said or known thedead dog and old cork collector. Why these two iLustries should go together is inexplicable even to the men themselves, but such is the case. Dead dogs, are by no means bad property. Theskin fetches from twopence to threepence when it has not become deteriorated by long residence in the water the fat is worth fivepence per two and one-third pounds, and the bones alsosell for a trifle. The corks are by nomeans so valuable, as after they havebeen cleaned and pared they only sell for fivepence a hundred. The profession is only sufficiently lucrative to maintain a few members, 2 francs a day being the average gain, who residefor the most part in that chiffonier quarter, the Rue Tetit, Cite Philippe. Golden Penny. How Climate Affects Itallroads. There are three great railroad linesv that show the climatic problems that engineers have to solve in building the new transcanada road, - traversinghigh northern latitudes; the transaustralia road, running through an aridt region, and the Uganda road, which traverses a tropical country. In high latitudes many difficulties have to beovercome, among them being the effects of mountain sickness on the workmen. In rainy regions floods and landslides must be provided against, ant the early decay of ties, sleepers and bridge material. In dry countries it is necessary to provide water, to guard against fire, against sand storms and against many other things that the passengers, riding in the luxurious cars, never think of.
