CUSTOM AT THE WHITE 3OUSE
Writie.se nTe9Wno istr.
ITH THE COMIGof New Year daythe old question Ofserving wine at New
IS, t Year reception* has
been revivea, and isbeing discussed isofincial circles. Thequestion is Sot Of 90much importance Inother cities peSapsasn it is in Washing6ton, for the Newyour day receptionhas not so general a
observance elsewhere. There Is not onlythe President's reception on New Yearday, but receptions at the homes of thecabinet officers and of the ofiers of thearmy and navy. It Is as much a duty forthe oficers of the army and navy to callat the home of the general of the army andthe senior officer of the navy as It Is forthem to call at the White House.During the last administration the recep-
tion of the Vice President was also a nota-ble afteir. Singularly enough, It was thefarst administration from the beginning ofGrant's second term to the Incoming of theHarrison administration in which therewas a social establishment of the VicePresident. During the sixteen years from173 to IMS there was no Vice Presidentfor ten years, and during the remaindea ofthe time the Vice Presidency was filled bymen who had no wives. Only one of theVice President from Schuyler Coltal to LeviP. Morton had a wife. Three of them were
widowers-Wilson, Wheeler and Arthur.Vice President Hendricks had a wife, buthe died in November, 185. and be wasnever in Washington as Vice President onNew Year day. Vice President Morton re-vived the custom of a New Year dat re-
eption at the Vice President's, and hetsed regular hours for receiving the diplo-matic corps, the army and navy. etc.. justan the President did. Mr. Stevenson can-not afford an establishment like Mr. Mor-ton's, so be will not hold a formal receptionJanuary I.
Wine at the White Reuse.There has always been wine at the White
House, although It has not been served atthe President's receptions for a number ofyears When the receptions of the Presi-dent were loem crowded, refreshments wereserved at all of them. Mr. Hayes did notshare his wife's Intense prejudice anainsliquor. Mr. Arthur served wine at theWhite House, and he had refreshments athis crowded receptions. The custom ofserving refreshments at these receptionsdied with Mr. Arthur. Mr. Arthur alwaystook wine with his meals. President Harri-aon took a drink when he wanted it, andhad wine asfved at his table when he gavean official entertainment. But so strong aprejudice lies in the minds of the reformersagainst the use of liquor by public men thatwhen Mrs. Harrison was lying at the pointof death in the White House, her son-in-law. Mr. McKee, asked the family physiciannot to make blic the fact that she wasbeing kep live by the administration ofbrady, I se, he said, If that fact waspublished. the President and his familywould be grieved by constant letters fromcranks saying that Mrs. Harrison's deathwas a dispensation of Providence in pnmish-ment of her people for having used brandy.Of course there will be no wine served at
the White House on New Year day. Pres-ident Cleveland has no prejudice againstwine or liquor; he uses both; but it wouldcost an unreasonable sum to serve wine tothe enormous crowd which will fill the par-lor, of the White House, There wil beopportunity for serving wine at the housesof the cabinet people, and of some otherpublie men and women who will receive enNew Year day. A reporter called on thewomen of the cabinet recently to ask themfor their views on the subject of New Yearday receptions and the use of wine. Therehas been no meeting of the cabinet womento determine officially whether wine shouldbe served or not. Many of the social ob-servances of these women are the subjectof conferences and concerted action. Inthis matter each of them will follow thedictates of her own judgment; but it ispretty safe to say that there will be noserving of wine in cabinet circles on NewYear day. Only three of the wonmen ofthe Harrison cabinet served wine at theNew Year day receptions. Most of thewomen of the present cabinet believe inserving wine at dinner, buti they think thatIt should not be served indiscriminately ata public reception.
Ms. Carliae 'Es'ane Stnd.Mrs. Carlisle has been in Washington
so many years that she spaks with greaterauthority than any other of the cabinetpeople, She has always had a New Yearreception, and she is a firm believer in thegood old custom, now falling into disuse,"I think," said Mrs. Carlisle, "that it
is a good custom to keep New Year day,becauyse It affords an opportunity for oldacquaintances to meet. Besides, If the 1stof January is set aside as a day for mangand receiving calls, young men who neglectthat social duty at other seasons of theyear, because perhaps they are too busy,will go to see their friends. I am verymuch opposed to serving wine, seeeeillyon New Year day, and to young men. Ithink that some good hot coffee, some sub-stantial food to help them get through theday and a cordial welcome are all thatshould be ofered to them-but particularlythe cordial Welcome."Mrs. Carlisle sid that she realised the
fact that the opinion of women in promi-neat place might have some moral infin-ence, but she believed that the lees saidon the subject of Neqw Year day the bet-ter. She is preparing to hold a receptionon the 1st of January. She wll reeive athome, as she has alweays done.The wife of the Postmaster General will
hold her first public reception on New Yearday. She says that she will follow theestablished custom so far as "keeping openhouse' ad receiving all those who wishto pytheir respects to her is concerned.
"eeving on New Year day is not adera In other cities as It was," said Mrs.
"but the reception of the Presidenthas become a matter of official custoin, andI do not see how It could be abolished. Ithink that the hostess should use her ownjudgment In regard to serving wine. I my-self think that It ought not to be servedat public receptions."
I. Mr'. Nerbhers Heusehold.Miss Herbert, the daughter of the ec-
retary of the Navy, will not be at the headof her father's establishment this winter.His married daughter, Mrs. Micou, whosehusband was recently appointed to theposition of chief clerk of the Navy Depart-ment, will live with her father and pre-side over his establishment. But MissHerbert is more nearly associated with herdistinguished father In the public mind.So the question was asked of her. She wasjust leaving her hems, and she answeredbut briefly. She said: "We have made nopreparations yet for New Year day, be-cause we are hardly settled In our newhome. I do not know what our arrengements will be; but the serving of wine issomething about which I always cnntemy father."Mrs. Smith has been so much absorbed
in caring for her sick boy that she hasnot had time to consider New Year matters.Her predecessor, Mrs. Noble, used to saythat she had one quarrel with Mr. Nobleevery year. It was over the question ofDaniel Webster's judgment in leaving thehouse of a friend, whom he had gone tovisit, because he found that his friend didnot serve wine. Mr. Noble always heldthat the friend should have consulted thewishes of a man of Mr. Webster's genius.Mrs. Noble thought that Mr. Webster'sfriend was entitled to his own opinions andhis own prejudices. Mrs. Noble never serv-ed wine on New Year day.Mrs. John B. Henderson, wife of the en-
Senator from Missouri, began a quiet homecrusade against wine a few years ago, be-cause she believed that, while there was noharm in placing It in the hands of men ofmature judgment, It was dangerous to serve
ways has the courage of her convictions,and she han very generally substituted apenetrmented grape Juice for wine onhrtable when he has entertained Young
Not a damer Withent Wine.Mr. Igene Halk the wis of the 800a4
tor &aO Mains, who Ives Iacon CC themnost beantiful houses is Waington, en-tertains liberally during the Mense. Al-though her husband comes from a preh-Ubtion state, she has wine on her table atSinner. The Bales entertained the dipo-matic people a great deal, and to them aSinner Is not dinner without wine. A greatmany people claimed when New Year re-Deptions became a thing of the past thatthe eusam's decadence was due to thepowing prejudie against serving wine.Mrs. Vale thanks that New Year receptionsmtide oficial cireles have bees abandenebeesse the reception at the White Hometo so *tigualg that the many women whoattend it do not feel equal to holding re-ceptions at their own hoes later in theday. She is one of the many Senators'Wive. who have give up New Year dW re-ceptiosm. But If she did receive she wouldserve tea and sot wise. The Wife of Sen-star Hawley Is also a Arm believer In teaand a arm adherent of New Year day recep-tions.There wil undoubtedly be winse served at
the houses of the Supreme Court people.Every om of the old justies takes his littlenip ad one of them maade It a rule formany years to ask his hostess whenever hewent out to dinner to put a glass of whiskyand water at his place. He said that it wasal that kept him alive. The Supreme Courtpeople always receive on New Year day. and
aw serve light wines and paeh.Al Mrs. Uoke Smith haa been so
busy With her sick child that she has sothad time to anke any preparations for NewYear day she kindly gave her views. Shesaid: "I think the custom of receiving one'sfriends should be revived, provided they callduring the afternoon and early evening, butdo not think that the reception should beonly let* in the evening. I an very de-cided in the opinion that no wine should beserved, for obvious reasons."
Now Canaries Aue EdSMted,Psa the paelsar Uthuese News.In a small town called St. Andreasberg
(Uassay) some 700 famines are entirely en-
gaged in the task of rearing and educat-ing gcod canary singers. A great prper-tion of these singers is sent abrod, far ornear-4o London. to Australia, and to theUnited States, where one single Arm ships31AU0U birds each year. These canariesare the interior birds, the schreir as teyare called in Germany, on account of theirnotes. Tnese senrear. which are boughtfor from 1u to s cents an the Mars, aresold for two, three, or four dollars an Amer-aca. The best birds are sept an Ueramny,waere they are caled bonroifer. A g.a4nouareiier cannot be had unaer 40 or PU (inthe mat), ana wi an( Wi are no unusualprices. But such biras are certainayspiendid sangers. The uermans have quitea number ot words, eacn of whica applesto a iarerent sort of tune, or intonauon;the beuiroiue as 1n minor sey; hlangeroe ap-pUes t saaver tones; koUer to a waroUngwakeh remans at iae murmur of water,gaucaroue -is similar to Lhe nightingale'snotes, and one may say that every %aetadLof Lne canary's song has been named andthat for every one there is a stanoard ofperfection which the expert Zancier Knowspertecay Weil. The acaig of at canaries isnot exactly similar; each race has itsspecial points, an4 whue the on. Is greator neairosa. for instance at is weas ongluchrobe, w aile the case is reversed with&a race.
Of course, singing is a natural featurewith eanaries, but Lae Inluence of enuca-tion Is considerable. The educational cur-riculum begins In May for the young canas-ries, and they are. as noon as poesam, sp-ated froM their parents, *dueauos Is all
in this: Keep the young bird from hear-Ing any but excelent sangers. Some atteenor twenty young canaries are put in one9ge ua an oaer bird. an especially goodsinger, and he teaches them the elements;they try to imitate him, and hence comeshis beneficial Inuence. In August each ofthe young birds is put in a smal cage, andkept Is the Immediate vicinity of the cageof the teacher. At this time the fanciertries to gather some Idea of the progress&chieved, and of the aptitude of the difer-eat bseds. The best are put in the nearestvicinity of the teacher. In order to pro.veat the young birds froa getting dis-turbed, their cages are wrapped with clothso as to prevent them from seeing whatIs going on around them, and in order toenesuege singing the cages are generallyshaped in form of a dome; this shape in-tensifles the sound, and the birds arepleased in their own music. Then comes aperiod of great trouble-the moulting of theofessor birds. During some ten weeks thetter remain entirely silent, and the youngbirds are very apt to fall Into bad habits;as soon as the voice of the professor is re-gained, the training goes on, of course.Some SU0Do canaries are trained eachyear is the Barn region, and of these =%0,-W arM seat to the United States, 27,000are sest to ingland, 10,000 are sent to Rus-si and Other curopeaa countries, and 10,-00 remain in Germany. The latter are the*upper 100U' of the canary world, thevery 'ck" of the best singers. Two armse@Pecy (Ruhr. and Reiche Brothers)make it their business to esport canariesfrom Germany to America. There are aMumber of varieties of the canary. Artif-cial selection has to account for many ofthem, end while some fanciers have selectedindividuals especially notable fer their soag,others have alected birds for their form,their color, their sie. In Germany the songis the main point; in England the peopleseem to care only for color or form; in Bel-gium shape only is considered, So thereare great differences among canaries.

cently made by Unele Sam in raiing therank of his envoys abroad "us radiallyaltered the situation of affairs In ts re.gard. It is a serous questom whether thechief executive of this nation eould refsesuch a courtesy without placing haself Inthe attitude of deliberately Immtig thepower concerned. For an amba.ador. whehe represents a monarchy, is regarded asan incarnation of the 0overega, and m tbe treated In all reepeets as if he were aking. SIr Junan Pauncefotb for exame.has a right to consider himself the equal ofMr. Cleveland, and any disregard of his per-sonal dignity by the latter would be an in-malt to royal majesty.Mr. Gresham made a frst call upon seek
of the new ambassadors. That was a noveldeparture. Ministers from abroad have al-ways Arst called upon the Secretary ofState hitherto, because that is the rule Iaall countries. But an ambassador is a birdof a feather very different from a minister.Sir Jullan Pauncefote, like any of the threeother ambassaors at Washington, has aright to consult oficially with the Presidentin person, while no minister plenipotentiarycould safely venture to talk with Mr. Clee-land on matters Internutiomal. mimilarty.Mr. Bayard may appeal direct to QueenVictoria. representing the aoveregty of70,00,000 people. His predecessor, MrteUMPhelps, could do so such thing, beingmerely accredited as an agent of the Dw-ernment of the United States.Mr. Bayard has a far greater repefis-
blity on his shoulders than ever was mm-tated, by a minister from this country toGreat Britain. He commits the UnitedStates by his sets, whereas his pre0meu=have merely acted as intermediaies. Theam* remarks apply equally to owr otherambaseadors abroad. It will thus he seamwhat a very Important new departure thsgovernment has made in the tisematleline. Save in the already mentioned partie-unar of vists, however, no Change in digle-matie etiquette at Washington has the Carbeen made; mo foreign ambassador has ft-vited the President to dinner, or demandedan opportunity for e we conference withhim. Yet there is mo telling what troIlemight not be stirred up at any the evethese trifing question.
The Queesttn of PwoeefeeeThe diplomatic dinners at the Whitesoe
have made trouble on awre tha ne scson. A familar Instance was that of theBritish Minister Merry, who made a greatrow because some other lady wad taken into the table by Thoaes Jefersoa beforeMrs. Merry. During the Garftid admid-tration Mrs. Blaine actually left the Presi-dent's board in anger beamse she had notthe place to which she considered herselfentitled. The plan adopted of making theorder of reedes among diplomats de-- impl on length of service here is a&admirable solution of the problem on thewhole.But Mr. Cleveland isto tietI

This their date falls an Jane-ary 18 at 1 About fifteen minutesbefote that bor they will bg81 to arrieon alighting nrom their carriages theywi, be shown upstairs to the asc0nd foorwhere a man in evenitg dress will directthe gentlemen to the library and the ladito one of the bed room, In ceder that theymay remove their wraps, &t. As on anysimilar festive occasion anywhere they willpresently go down to the parlor-that isto may, the east room, where they willfind Mr. and Mrs.. Clevetand awaitingthem. The room is about aighteentimes too large for general cenversa-ton, so that It will be rather a reliefwhen, after a few momnenta. Sineir. thesteward, open. the door and bows, catch-ing the President's eye.Mr. Cleveland. offering his tight area te
Lady Pauncefote, will then lead the waywith her to the dining room. Er Jullan wilnfollow with Mrs Cleveland, and the other
tering the bnuet hl the Psdentwlpaue at his seat in the middle of the aideof the lne table and will remain standing
til his wife has passed around the fme-board to the st eppost hima. By
that time the remainine sentlemnen -andlnane will have fro'we their way to thefrwasnective plasiu. and Mrs. Clevelend's it-e~ down wil hep the sienal err every oneelee to din ikewise. No entstakes as to thearranrement of the noele can well aese.
Ismaesible to Wake a Sewns..On the enater table in the library, ber
going down to dinner, each of the gentle-men winl have found a small envelope ad-dressed to him=elf-unaased-with theAmnerican eagle Ia gold stampedt on theflap. Within it he has discovered a cardwith beveled and silt edges, beartng thename of the lady whoma he I. to take In todinner. The name is written across themiddle of a diagrams of the table, with theseats anmeethat of Mr. Cievelamibeing marked "Te President." Two nm-bers are struck out with a paen nlangm

Patenetre, theFrench minister, desired the honor greatly.and there was an interesting race betweeshim and Sir Jullaan as to which should atait. But the Unglishman was able to presentthe papers making him an =ambassador atthe Department of State one day earlimthan M. Patenotr, and so won. This sy.temn of precedence by senIority works fun-ally sometImes. Not long ago the Nie.ragean minister here was high on the lit,but political troubles at home caused bineto resign.
