According to n Wellington dispatch
In the Trlbuno "there Is n movcmont
on foot In Washington to restoro tlio
uso of tlio torm 'Executive Mansion'
Instead of 'Whlto Houho' which has
been tho custom during tlio Itoosovolt
administration;" and many members
of congress aro said to prefer the
longer and nioro pretentious iiaim
says tho New York Sun "Whlto
House" it Is In tho mind and mouth
of ovory American; bo known ncros3
tho water too. Tho term as ro-
cont researches by correspondents of
iho Sun hnvo shown la of respect-
nblo antiquity. It seems to have been
traced as far back as Madison's see-
ond administration It ;lll soon bo
entitled to Its contonnry. It is n fa-
miliar llniro of homely and cordial
look. It Ih not to bo put out by a
long trained Intruding trollop like "Ex-
ecutlvo Mansion." That may nccom-
niodnto Itsolf well to tho legnl formnl
and clerkly stylo hut tho popular and
tho ilttcst name Is and will ho "Whlto
.House." President Taft la no friend
if pomp and bwoIIoh words. Wo havo
no doubt that ho prefers to Uvo in n
"house." As for thoso monibcrs of
congress who from fondness for olo-
quenco or want of tasto lovo high-
sounding names Mr. Taft may tell
them a llttlo Jest by which Dr.
"William Everett used to tench
simplicity: "At Ynlo 'tho president's

dent's wlfo goes to bed."
RnmcseH II. Is dead. Ho was not

tlio dato of his birth ran woll back
Into tho past. Raincscs was a toad

ablo curiosities scientists having de-
cided that ho must bo 1000 or 1200
years old If not nioro so. And now
having lived to what was literally a
green old ago ho has succumbod to tho
Inevitable Llfo under modern con-
ditions appears to hnvo boon too swift
for a reptile that had passed so long
period in uubrokon Btona and

Tho April dividend and intorost pay-
ments In this country aggregate con-
siderably inoro than J123.000.000. This
In about $10000000 abovo the pay-
ments of tho snmo kind a year ago
which is convincing proof of tho im-
provement in conditions. What Is espe-
cially significant Is tho advance in In-
dustrial dividends which nro nearly
$5000000 greater than in 190S. Divi-
dends roproBcut nctunl profits whllo
Interest is money paid out for loans.
But from cither point of view tho sit-
uation Is satisfactory. It shows that
Industrial concerns nro making nioro
money and that railroad and other
earnings nro sufllclent to moot all In-
torost domnuds and In most cases to
provide for distribution of gains to
stockholders.
Tho next dovolopmont of tho wire-
less telegraph Idea seems to bo tho
establishment of municipal stations In
all principal cities to tho end that no
matter what storms may sweep tho
country It will bo possible to coinmu-
nlcnto with tho outside world so long
as tho city hall towor remains stand-
ing. Philadelphia Is taking tho load
and Inasmuch ns tho expenso Is rela-
tively slight It Is likely that other cit-
ies will bo communicating with each
other In tho near future.
Morocco mny again becomo tho the-
ater of disturbance. Thoro aro signs of
tho outbreak of a revolt against the
now sultan which mny tnko tho form
of a holy war that Is ono In which
the Mohammedans may bo summoned
to fight on the pretense of devotion to
their fnlth. But with Unlsull and sov-
eral other former disturbers of tho
pence keeping quiet thoro Is hopo that
things may simmer down.
Tho contract has been given for
tho construction of tho Clormont

Tho ono survivor or tho party of
four Americans who started two yenrs

Bouth America to Now York says ho

The perils encountered and precau-
tions necessary to be taken In climb-
ing tho Alps Is given In nn Interesting
letter from a coriespondent which fol-
lows: A few days ago wo Blarted for. a
mild winter climb up the Gemini pnsfl
a mere walk In tho summer nt fi
a. in. on n calm warm morning. He-
fore wo wcro hnlf way up snow came
on and long beforo w o reached tho
Schwarrcnbach wo w&ro battling" with
n ferocloiiB blizzard. Wo wore 'glnd
to got oft that mountain by six o'clock
in tho evening descending tho last
slopes In thick darkness and storm
with avalanches thundering all
around us.
I toll this simplo tnlo as a casual Il
lustration of tho perils of winter climb
ing Slnco that dny Switzerland has
been swept by an extraordinary storm
from tho south almost unprecedented
at this tlmo oi! tho year costing nt
least ono very precious llfo and en-
dangering tho existence of many oth-
ers. It is tho reminder of tho great
mountains thnt they aro not to bo
trilled with in wintor. ueroro more
lives nro lost perhaps it mny bo as
woll to ask what nro tho peculiar con-
ditions and perils of this winter climb-
ing thnt promises to becomo tho now-
est development of nn honorablo
sport.
Tho extraordinary stillness and
clearness that provall in tho Alps for
days together during tho winter nro
very likely to lull tho nverago climber
into a dangerous trustfulness. Tho
silence of tho frozen streams produces
a boiieo of penco that contrasts danger-
ously with tho noisy vitality of tho
spring and summer. During these
dnyB of settled frost tho avalanches
aro dumb tho wntorfnlls hung In
waves of frozen whiteness; tho ice-
falls of tho great glaciers stand mo-
tionless. Tho deep bluo of the sap-
phire sky bohlnd tho great ranges of
whlto mountains for nonrly all tho
mountains nro whlto In wintor pro-
duces a boiiso of great confidence. Tho
old warnings against climbing the Alps
In winter seem childish panic. "If only
ono could get such conditions in sum-
mer!" Ih tho inevitable cry. "This Is
Just what wo hnvo been waiting for
all our lives!"
nut thero nro ono or two considera-
tions on tho other sldo not nlways
dwelt upon by tho guides who are per-
haps naturally anxious to add a sec-
ond season to their first. Quo Is tho
fact that this clear and beautiful
weather thlB weather of radiant sun-
shine and pellucid skies. Is certnln at
duo Intervals generally of a fortnight
at n time to bo Interrupted by sud-
den and violent snowstorms. Tho only
security against theso Is to watch tho
baromoter closely and novor to climb
with n falling gmBS. Tho ndvont of
theso htorms is generally recorded
vary promptly nrTd accurately by our
faithful filend; hut It takes somo cour
age to oboy his warnings and glvo up
n planned expedition
Tho second la that whatever condi-
tions Impedo climbing in tho summor
they Impedo It tenfold In winter. Take
snow n source of grent fatlguo at tho
best. In tho summer you will not bo
troubled with Know until you hnvo
reached S.000 reot. In tho winter you
begin with snow nt 2000 or 3000 feet
and contlnuo with snow till tho end.
Ski-running mny nnd does do n great
deal to modify tho fntlguo of thoso con-
ditions. Hut kls cannot abate tho
great cold which mi much snow brings
or removo tho dangers of cold on tho
mountains.
No true mountaineer laughs nt. frost
blto. It Is tho most terrible of tho
mountain peiils tho most rapid In its
assaults tho most painful In Us con-
sequences tho most dllllcult to guard
against. Hut there nro ono or two
rules which can bo easily followed and
understood. Frost-bite profors to at-
tack tho oxtromltlcs whero tho pow-
er of tho heart Is weakest. Something
can be dono therofore by doubling
tho gloves and stockings. More can
bo done perhaps by resisting tho
temptation to stand or sit In soft snow.

fallow is a very rapid refrigerator as
you may easily toHt by placing In It a
hottlo or wine. Stand or sit always
on wood or locks and choose your
lunching places If possible whore
some Bents can bo found If not sit
on your ruck sucks or even tho
handles of your Ico axes. Never on
snow.
Anothor porll Inovltablo to such
gieat quantities of snow on tho moun-
tains Is thnt of avalanches. Directly
tho temperature rises tho surfneo
snow loosens nnd tho nvalanche be-
gins to fall. ThlB danger is especially
present when soft now snow la lying
on a sinfnco of old frozen snow be-
neath. No condition therefore Is bo
perilous as that or a thaw after a
Biiowfall. Wo had that condition In
tho valley of Kandorsteg recently nnd
tho rPBiilt was that scarcely n slnglo
path along tho mountnlnsldo was
safe. All thoso llttlo shndy walks
whero tho elderly couples stroll
In tho summer wero swept by
avalanches. A trustful young pair
who went for a walk across tho val-
ley wero nearly swept Into eternity.
Up nbovo the loar of tho snowfnlls
went on continually. In tho night
tlmo wo could hoar tho crash and
thunder from tho high peaks roused
to fury by the untimely thaw. And wo
thought of tho two young English
climbers who wero lost on tho moun-
tains and of tho 20 guides who -wero
sonrching for them.
The adventures of thoso two climb-
ors illustrato all tho perils of tho new
sport. They wero ski-runners from
Adelbodcu and wero nccompanled by
two of tho best ski-running guides In
tho Obcrland. They started so they
told me with a high glnBs and a clear
ski. Tlio skies enabled them to cover
a great distance rapidly; but there a
new danger came In. They wero al-
ready high on tho mountains when tho
great storm broke on them. They
could not contlnuo on tho biiow. They
wero forced to tnko off their skis
wlilcli Instantly became useless incum-
brances and to climb dllllcult rocks
with thoso great burdens at their
backs. Doing ski-runners they had no
nailed boots but only tho floxiblo
leather shoes worn by cyclists. Thoy
had to climb Ice nnd It wns only their
pluck and youth combined with the
resourcefulness of their young guides
that enabled thorn to ranch tho Wild-
strubel hut In safety. Thero thoy re-
mained for three whoh days unable
to sot foot in tho raging blizzard out-
sldo almost starved to death owing to
tho disgraceful lack of food In this
Swiss mountain hut nnd only escap-
ing finally to Kandersteg in a tempo-
rary break of tho storm.
This story Is worth recording if
only ns showing tho limits of alio new
power which ski-running gives to tho
mountaineer. Tho nmnzlng traverse
of tho Obcrland nnd ascent of tho Fin-
Btcraarhorn performed in clear weath
er conditions to a fow weeks ago by
two ski-running climbers certainly
plnces beyond doubt tho power rf tho
ski undor Immnculnto conditions.
Skis aro invaluablo on easy slopes of
biiow in tho best posslblo Btnto. They
becomo Icbb and less valunhlo ns tho
snow worsens nnd the slopes steepen.
Thoy nro almost usoless in soft moist
snow and qulto usoless in tho very
Bteop snow slopes thnt you find high
up on tho grent Biiow-mountalns. On
rocks or moraines thoy must of courso
ho cnrrlcd on tho shoulders and thoy
aro prutty heavy.
If theso qualifications nro borno In
mind skis will certnlnly provo most
useful In Swiss wintor climbing -thoy
would not ho worth carriage in tho
suii.mor but if they aro neglected
then I foreseo a very unfortunnto pe-
riod of disrepute for this vory wonder-
ful. If rather cumbrous form of
footgonr
Winter climbing to sum up must
always bo for tho few. It must bo uj-
proached with tho greatest caution.
Nothing must bo neglected abovo nil
not food which is ono of tho host ene-
mies of cold. You must remom-
her too that the streams aro frozen
and all drinks must bo carried with
you. Your clothing must ho of tho
warmest especially for feot and
hands. Weather must bo of tho host.
It is only so thnt tho sport can bo
saved from making new and calam-
itous additions to tho death roll of
tho Alps
As a rulo it isn't tho girl with a cold
manner who freczos on to a foMow.

MAKES THE BATH "BENEFICIAL
Long-Headed Young Woman Has Ideas
of Her Own as to the Needed
Ablutions.
One athletic young woman indulges
frequently in what bho calls her "home-
mado Turkish bath." It is a fact as
sho says that ono cannot nlways
oleanse tho skin thoroughly with only
soap and water and comparatively
smooth cloth. A cold-cream bath on
tho faco will provo that. Therefore
sho takes n small scrub brush of the
sort sometimes sold in drug stores for
nail brushes nnd first wetting the
body with a spongo and hot water
scrubs tho whole surface of tho skin
with tho brush and a thick- soap lather.
This goes down Into tho porea and
cleanses them carries off moro old
Bkln nnd particles of dust and waste
than tho ordinary wash cloth nnd
stimulates tho circulation. Tho soap
Is next thoroughly rinsed off with hot
wnter and tho bath followed by a
cold shower and a brisk rub. For tho
not too vigorous porson a slight rest
adds to tho beneficial effect but
whether with or without tho conclud-
ing sonp the treatment will be found
both refreshing nnd invigorating.

WORK OF THE WISE HOSTEiiS
Study and Close Application of Little
Things Has Put Her In Proud
Position.
A hostess whose little dinners ct
luncheons nre never long or expensive
but described at all times as perf jc-
tion with delicious surprises Included
that do not interfere with tho night's
good rest declnrcs thnt theso gastro-
nomicnl achievements nro often sug-
gested to her merely by seeing the
Ingredients in Juxtaposition. This may
happen through tho carelessness oi
tho butcher boy or tho grocerymtn
both having roturned with "forgotten"
articles that havo been thrown with-
out intent for such effect upon tho
same tabic. In this way a most do-
lectablo combination of oysters and
maccaroni occurred wlilch was tem-
pered by cheese nnd paprika and somo
Bhredded green peppers. Another
tlmo a stuffing for peppers ensued 'or
which the secret has never been tc Id.
Another Invention Is a salad of
chopped celery to which grapo fruit
orango and nuts aro added and over
this a French dressing with tarragon
vinegar nlded by chopped onion and a
weo bit of sugar. An accompaniment
to this salad Is n cheeso souffle donB
In tiny balls arranged in a pyramid
on toasted biscuits. Paprika Is plenti-
fully sprinkled over all to glvo n snap
but not bring tears a cayenne would.
The Puritan Collar.
Tho high stiff linen collnr has had
its clay and with summor shirt walstu
will bo worn soft stocks or tho cool
pretty turned-down collnrs In Dutch or
Puritan stylo. Theso collars aro very
easy to make and n3 tho distinction
of handmado neckwear is always
recognized a supply of turned-down
collars should bo mado up at homo.
Fino linen lawn is tho propor material
to uso and tho collar may bo worked
with heavy whlto dots a dainty scnl-
loping finishing tho edge or It may bo
trimmed with cluny or torchon laco.
Sometimes thoro Is merely a narrow
laco edgo with a llttlo embroidered!
pattern nbovo. Othor pretty collars
show an edgo of tho lace with a nar-
row insortlon running around an Inch
abovo.
Cretonne Used for Embroidery Day
A nlco llttlo embroldory bng In
made of cretonne covered with two
ombroldory hoops nnd finished at the
onds with cardboard covered with
cretonne Just tho sizo of tho hoops. In
other words tho bng is built like a
barrel with an opening nt tho side
This opening is hold together by lac-
ing with ribbon or by two buttons.
Tho bag is carried by ribbon loops
which aro fastened nt each end to tins
embroidery hoops.
It Is pretty and the sowing materials
do not got lost whon thus protected.
