This arch apart, nothing can be more uncom-
promising than the use made Of straight lines
and right angles in this room; not even the
cupboards that jut out from the mantelpiece
AT either side have "a curve in them. The panel
ing is square; the ceiling is divided of into
straight lined compartments and there does
not seem 10 be the least element of weakness,
the arch excepted, in the whole construction.
This, ii Is hardly necessary to point out, not
only preserves an air of dignity and sim
plicity to the apartment, but it actually helps
to give home like appearance by bringing
out the numerous curved lines of the furni-
ture aud the bric-a-brac. To introduce
curves at all freely in the architecture Of the
room would De to take away from the attrac-
tiveuess Of the chairs and sofa and tables,
and 10 make the eye less inclined To dwell on
the graceful shapes of the porcelains and bits
Of Venetian glass on the mantel shelves.
Let us attempt, with such help as the
artist has given US, To create a color scheme
for the room, though il will probably he In
part unlike the reality. Let the frame Of
our old beveled mirror be either in gilt wood
on IN stamped or hammered brass, and the
mantel IN carved cedar or other reddish wood,
with squares OF warm toned stamped leather
in its panels. The small tiles next the open
ing of the fireplace will be in various tones
Of dark green and blue. Those underneath
will be in chocolate color, or q warmer ami
lighter buff. The rug may oontsiu much
dark blue, but deep red should predoWinats.

best that the ballot shelves, 10 which the
voter goes 10 make his little check
against the name Of his candidate, be ar
ranged 20 fold, both the partitions and
the shelf, at the bottom. They can also
be nailed or screwed together perma-
nently. Common wooden horses are
used as the best means Of supports to the
shelves and are considered more stable
than any plan Of folding legs and less
liable TO disarrangement. They can DO
easily slipped one within the other and
stored away in a small space. The non
folding shelves are easily supported by
placing upright strips against the wall
where the studding offers solid nailings,
and screwed on the shelves. The shelves
may be on brackets or suspended from
stout hooks. The rail and the shelves
should be stout enough to support con-
siderable pressure.
The cuts here given show the plan OF
how room 90 by 81 feet may be fitted
for balloting according to the new sys-
tenn. The same general plan can he ap-
piled TO rooms Of different sizes.

ANOTHER FORM OF MARKING PLACES.
New countries, whose people take a
system from old ones where it has been
long in use. are very apt at making i'm
provements. They are untrammeled by
usages, and take the system divested of
any appendages by which it is clogged
among those from whom they took it.
Tho Australian system, which in some
form has been adopted in several of tho
United States, 10 about as follows:
rs the voss- enters tho voting room
through the rail clerk hands him bal
lot with the names of all the candidates
on it. This he passes to the marking
stalls, and marks the names of the can
didates he wishes To vote for, according
To the plain directions before him. Then
he goes and deposits his ballot, and all is
done, No heelers or hummers or be-
witching but reSolute mailens are al
lowed to loiter around in the voting
room. The public, however, are not pre-
vented from watching the proceedings,
provided they keep on the outside of a
raii dividing them from the ballot, but
they must not touch.
The law requires that the rail shah not
be less than six feet from both the ballot
box and the voting shelf, Within this
rail are two tables, one To hold the bal
lots 10 be given out, and a check list, on
which the names Of all receiving ballots

INTERIOR DECORATION.


An Example for Commentator from
fifth Avenue. New York.
The room in a Fifth av snue house, here Illus
rated by cut from The Art Amateur, is a
good example OF IA rich and ar:stocratic in
ierior. The drawing gives littls more than
what is esseutial-the outlines of things, their
arrangement, with occasionally an indication
If their material or their ornamentation.
Note, in the first place, that the room,
though well furnished, does not look crowd
IL 1t is not a very big room, yet it has an
air of spaciousness, desirable above all things
m city interiors This is gained principally
by leaving the wall surfaces, for the most
part, almost plain, the patterning being so
small and slight that the artist has found it
sufficient to hint at its existence by the use Of
a little spatter work, Then the bong lines of
cornice and dado are not broken Oh the sides
that are shown save by the mantel and the
ioor. The top Of the mirror over the mantel
and the mantel shelf, too runs parallel with
these lines 1t would be better If the top Of
the door casing did SO also; but the disturb
ing presence OF the arch is counteracted to
degree by the trausom OF japanese lattice
work surmounted by stained glass which Is
thrown across it

any other arrangement about house The
necessity for carrying water up stairs and
slops down is entirely done away with The
convenience Of having hot and cold water
near at hand, aside from the other convent
ences, which the plumbing apparatus Of the
bathroom and kitchen afford, are hardly to
be estimated from housekeeping standpoint
An excess Of plumbing fixtures distributed
all over house, however, makes rather than
saves work. 1t Is nice thing to have a
washstand down stairs. In this plan it might
be arranged under the stairway in front, and
shut out from the room by door. There are
many variations on this same arrangement
which, according to individual taste, may
bring about results more or less satisfactory
The rooms may be made larger, the length Of
the dining room may extend In another di-
rection, and, IL sufficiently long, may make
room above for bathroom at one end and q
bedroom at the other, and in this way give
five bedrooms on the second floor. This house
has been built where the stairway started up
q little farther towards the rear of the recep-
ton hail, and in that way gave view to the
front. To those interested, however, all these
changes will suggest themselves
As capital becomes more abundant the
means for its profitable investment develops
greater ingenuity. This has led to the de-
velopment Of many schemes by which houses
may he purchased on monthly or weekly pay
ment plans, and at a cost little in excess Of

OBSERVATIONS ON wn.er

Deschapeiiss the Finest Flayer-Saodern
Methods of Playing the Gsne.
According to Clay, tho finest player who
ever lived was . Frenchmau, Deschapelles.
He was born in 1850 and died In lss7. His
play at the Partisan clubs was BY far the
most brilliant ard original ever known. The
fine ''coups" were Of his invention. In fact,
there can be no doubt that Clay's fine plays
can be traced to the influence Of Deschapelles.
The grand coup, the necessity for which may
not happen once in q thousand times, buk
when It does happen and is played Is consid-
cred one Of the finest plays In the game, con-
sists Of throwing away a useless trump TO
gain trick upon the forced play of right
hand opponent, and the so called Deschapelles
coup made by the lead Of a high card at the
head Of many to be lost to the adversary that
the play may DO forced up TO the leaders
partner, are two Of his most brilliant plays.
Clay says Of the grand coup: Every one
who has played whist much must have OBJ
served the not infrequent occasions when Q
player has found himself In the last three
cards Of tho hand with q trump too many.
He has been obliged to trump bis partners
trick, to take the lead himself and to lead
from his tenace instead Of being led to, by
which trick Is lost. The triumph of the
great whist player is to foresee thu position
anu 70 thko uu opportunity oA BetttuS rlu Oh
this inconyeuient trump, which may lie done
either by undertrumping the adversary when
you cannot overtrump him or by trumping
your partners trick when you hold losing
card, with which you know you can again
give him the lead II you wish to do 90. I
have known Deschapelles, and not infre-
quently, to forcsee this difficulty and to de-
fend himself against 1t many tricks before it
was established or at all apparent to any one
else"
But the game we have to consider Is not
the game Of England, but the game Of Amer
ica, or rather the game which is played by
the best players in America. The game Of
short whist which is 80 popular In England
Is not played In America to any great extent.
The three games Of whist which are In vogue
at present are short whist, five point whist
and long whist. In the first, honors and
points go to make up the game, and the
game to mako the rubber. The game is fin.
ished In short whist when seven tricks are
taken from start to finish by player and
his partner In five point whist, Ave points
by cards being made, tho game is closed and
goes toward the rubber. In this game the
game is finished when eloven tricks ore taken
from start to finish. TOW LANSING.

AUSTRALIAN BALLoT-FLooR DlAuRAM.
The ballot has long been In use In Eng
lish corporate bodies, and the American
colonies inherited it from the mother
country. But free voting by the people
more nearly as it is in America was only
proposed by O'Connell in 1880. The new
plan did not at first make much headway,
for OConnelfs only received twenty-one
votes in the house Of commons. His
proposition afterwards received support
from Grote, Golden, Macaulay, and at
length Brougham and other prominent
Englishmen. Finally, under the leader
ship Of Gladstone, it was adopted in
1872, with regulations to secure secrecy.
This took the ballot out Of the hands Of
corporate bodies. like the English bor-
ough, and distributed it TO a greater ex-
tent among the people.
For many years the best method OF
casting votes has been subject for study
with reference TO rendering fraud inn
possible, and the ballot box has under
gone many notifications. Still the vote
is cast substantially always on the same
general plan. The vote is printed on a
piece Of paper and cast into box.
