Where the Englishman Builds His Castle
Dull and Uncheery Decorations and Fur
niture, and the Arrangement of the
Rooms.
The Englishman's house is his castle.
1t is the center Of his life and of his in
terests. His house is usually of red
brick and of two stories, with q high
wall all around it. An Englishman
likes to be shut in. The sea shuts him
in. and he is therefore born to it. The
best part of his house is at the back.
His drawing-room and dining-room
front back. In all the houses where
have visited, except, perhaps. two very
modern ones. the front of the house is
taken up with the kitchen or Offices of
the house, such as buffers pantry and
lavatory. Most suburban and country
houses are square, with central hall
and rooms arranged around it The
doors are small, and indeed, the win
dows and all openings are small. The
rooms are large-larger than in this
country or in France or Germany. In
middle-class houses there would be
drawing-room, dining-room, sitting
room, and perhaps billiard-room on the
first floor, besides large space given
to kitchen and pantries. The outside
of the house is almost uniformly with
out architectural decorations. The
dizziness of the climate is seen
in the sombreness of tho furni-
ture and the decorations of the
house. / can not say admire the in
side of most English houses, for they
are dull and uncheery. 1t is perfectly
true, as the French say, that s'nothing
screams," and 1t is also perfectly true
that nothing sings" There is NO
joy, no light and sweetness" in the
color, form, and expression of the
house. Matters are mending and the
more modern, or rather the quite re.
cent fashions in house decoration. are
OF lighter and more brilliant tones.
Up to within five years the wood
work was all ark,eusually grained in
walnut or very dark oak, and the
furniture was mahogany, of very
heavy and ungainly construction.
This, however, must be said, that the
chairs were for use, and were very
comfortable. There is spirit of COM
fort about an English home that is very
marked-that is, if one can only disso-
ciate the idea of art from that Of COM
fort The sofa is easy and big, and
just the thing to lie down upon.
There is a soft cushion and q sofa rug
or wrap; the cushion is soft and the
wrap is warm. and the whole arrnge-
ment is snug and inviting to rest and
ease. But the cushion and the wraps
are almost sure to be offensive to the
eye of art. The colors are almost sure
to be atrocious. Nine times in. ten
there will be dash Of lavender and
Of purple in both. The common peo-
pie Of England have no sense of pro-.
portion or Of color. The weather.
clasees have moro taste, bat the me-.
don has moro pronounced merits than
esthetic ones.

The London Globe remarks that the
late Duke of Buccleuch evidently had
no fear of land reform, for it appears
that in his will, dated 1883, he made
arrangements as to the management of
his Clithoroe estates for 1890 years to
come. In the year 1888 the holder of
the estates will be able to make his own
arrangements.
The title "Black Watch, "by which
one of the Scotch regiments now serv-
ing in the Soudan is known, was
originally given to certain armed COM
panies employed in early times to watch
the highlands of Scotland. the term
black coming from the tartan of dark
colors which they wore. The compa-
mics were afterward formed into the
Forty-second Highlanders and became
one of the most distinguished regiments
in the British army.
The solemn tolling of the great

To 1ind his comrades fed
While the battle field was guarded

He drew his sword In the sunlight
And called with long hallo@
Dead men, there il one living

the dining room is free of all the odor
