Justice Matthew'S new house is completed,
and II is one Of the most beautifully planned
amount OF room In IL Is surprising, and even
the awkward junction OF streets at its north
east corner has been utilized TO produce tho
very happiest effects OF appearance and con-
venience In the whole building. There are
electric bells and speaking tubes In every
room, and tho most picturesque nre-places at
unexpected corners. The stained glass Is put
on in n voluto pattern, with roughly-cut knobs
OF the same Mt intervals, which arrangement
gives zach section the appearance Of an eddy
OF gorgeous color,with large bubbles OF amber,
ruby and emerald floating on its current.
These "jewels" also servo another
purpose-their facets distribute the light more
abundantly than the plain surfaces would do,
and keep the room tinged with color "from the
rising OF the sun TO the setting thereof Tho
woodwork is OF cherry, mahogany, ash, oak
looks like satin bod, and gives the most deli
cate effects in grain and tint. There is u trunk
lift and an ingenious ash-shoot, by means OF
which every open fire is cleansed without dust,
without noise and with little or no trouble.
The closets are so large and 80 prettily finished
one would fancy them little bedrooms or
studios, and tho library gladdens the
its empty shelves, SO liberal is tho
space given to what Rusliin calls 'tho sleep
ing kings, who will awake for us and walk
with us, If we but know how to call Thorn by
undimmcd, mistaken diadems, saying, art
thou become pure and mighty OF heart as we,
art thou also become one of us?" Justice
