The re^ddeiuv |>ortlou of the white house offers far greater conveniences to a prospective tenant than Presi dents enjoyed at the beginning of the present eentury. I'ntll after the Mex ican war the mansion whs lighted sole ly hy candles and oil lamps, while there was no central heating in* venti lating system until a few years before the civil war. Water for use in the house was dipped out of a spring be neath what Is now the front jHtrtleo. Today, however, the most modern sys tem of electric lighting, heating, ven tilation and plumbing are Installed and a colonel of engineers Is entrusted with the task of keeping these In repair. Whenever the next mistress of the white house wishes any new furniture or new decorations she will call upon this officer and will pay for the im provement out of an annual fund of allowed him for "care." "re furnishing" ami "repairs." It has ever been a tradition of both political par lies that the president's abode shall I look spick and spay. Unit none of the ! furniture shall show a scratch or a ? \\orn spot, that none of the draperies : or decorations in use shall be allowed j to fade or grow threadbare. The government pays for all this, as ' well as fur all of the fuel, heat, light | ami (lowers used in 1 1??? house, offices; and surrounding grounds, the appro priation for all of these items during one year being enough to make 'you or j j me independent for life. The white house lias a .special green house which supplies flowers for public and pi'lyate cnterta laments as well as for family nsr and the heautilication of the ex tensive park surrounding the grounds. < ?ut of tlietlnt fund for care, repair and refurnishing |n?st mistresses of the white house have made purchases as they have seen til. Thus Mrs. (iraut pnrehased for si.ihmi a silver canoe, which still ei 1 1 1 1 a Ins (lowers at state fuin lions ; and Mrs. Haves. for (mmi. had painted the gaudilv (lowered china set which was shelved when Mrs. Roosevelt purchased the present Wedg wood service f<?r ;#;;i mmh i And it inav he added that it was ? ? u t <>(' this an nual fund that Andrew Jackson bought, at second hand, the ancestral service of the Russian 'Ka run deTu.vll. All siich articles nf course, bee- anc the propcrfv of the government and re main in the white house when the pur chaser moves out. So we taxpayers will take I care of h i in who carries ofY the urand prize, ill the presidential s\\ ee| >s| ke this fall.
