feet Of shadow, or lot Of romantic associa-
tions. But some Of those things can hardly
be had to order, and an attempt to initiate
the accidental picturesqueness Of old country
dwellings is likely to result in anything but
the wished for effect exteriorly, while In the
interior, in addition to the various sorts of
discomfort which it entails, it has led to an
entire disregard Of proportion and of the ex-
pressiveness-when properly managed = Of
architectural lines.
The owner OF modern cottage, or even Of
an expensive residence, is as likely as the
occupant Of the most ordinary house to be
troubled about what to do with his i'll pro-
portioned and badly arranged rooms. Some
thing can generally be done, though in the
former case a satisfactory cure is often i'm
possible. Usually the difficulty is that the
room is too high or too low, too long or too
narrow, and these faults can easily be rem
edied when they are not complicated by
irregular jogs and bays, by window and
door castings Of unequal height and similar
unlocked for results of the modern architects
plan of working from the outside in. In deal
ing with these complications their victims
must rely on their own ingenuity; but the
greater obstacles overcome, it may be found
possible to reduce the lesser or, il not, to bear
with them. few typical examples will help
us to understand the principles involved
Take the case-very common in modern
houses-of a room being too high for its
floor space. The obvious thing te do would
be to provide il with both frieze and dado,
and to make both Of exceptional depth. But
perhaps tho builder has already put in
dado of the same height as in other low

The two accompanying illustrations show
ing the same wall differently treated, explain
the principle ON which all these suggestions
are based; but the much pleasanter appear
ance of the second should teach us that it Is
well that vertical lines should dominate.
Any too great insistence on the horizontal
lines is sure TO give an impression of crush
ing force overhead. 1t will sometimes hap
pen that single bold stroke, the introduc-
tion of one conspicuous horizontal, will suf-
fee to correct the bad proportions of high

gerous; few objects bounded by graceful
cur, es, or of shapes approaching the square,
will be desirable TO obviate them.

MASTER.
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1889-12-21

His dissolution, though 1t took not very
long, proceeded by infinitesimal gradations
His faculties decayed together steadily; the
power Of his limbs was almost gosss, he was
extremely deaf, his speech had sunk into
mere mumblings; and yet to the end he man
aged to discover something Of his former
courtesy and kindness, pressing the hand OF
any that helped him, presenting me with one
of his Latin books In which he had labori-
ously traced my name, and in a thousand
ways reminding us Of the greatness of that
loss, which II might almost be said We had
already suffered. To the end, the power OF
articulation returned to him in flashes; it
seemed he had only forgotten the art Of
speech as child forgets his lesson, and at
times he would call some part Of it to mind
On the last night Of his life he suddenly
broke silence with these words from Virgil;
"Gnatiquo pratisque, alma, precor, mis-
erere,n perfectly uttered and with fitting
accent At the sudden, clear sound Of It We
started from our several occupations; but it
was in vain we turned to him; he sat there
silent and 10 all appearance fatuous
little later he was had to bed with more diff
flculty than ever before; and some time In
the night, without any mortal violence, his
spirit fed.

coningly grave, could scarce say sorrow
full, or only with a pleasant sorrow; talking
