To make q good portrait in the ordi-
nary room is quite difficult task, AZ
all the light to be had comes through
the window and leaves the shadow side
Of the portrait underexposed. This can
somewhat be remedied by tho use Of u
piece Of white muslin about 10 feet long
and about 8 feet wide or more.
Stretch string across the room par
allel with the window and fasten it to
point about six feet from the window,
and also six feet from the floor. Fasten
the muslin over the top Of the window
and throw the other end over the string,
allowing it to fall to the floor. This forms
sort Of one-half side Of tent, and
this somewhat confines the light and re.
fleets it on the shadow side Of your OBJ

the light. In using curtains for back.

far as tho wall will allow, SO rs to pro.

three feet from the window and about
opposite the far side Of the easement.
Pull the window down from the top. and
perhaps it would be best to cover up the
lower part Of the window with some
dark cloth OF paper. Close all doors 40
as not to have any draft, and then make

Berlin IL almost AZ discouraging In
its other landmarks Of its notable Ger
mans as in its public statues It is al
most IA bad MS New York, where few
houses now stand that were in existence
when Franklin and Washington were
alive. London is rich In buildings as
sociated with great men, and an Ameri-
can can hardly walk from Westminster
to st. Paul's without recalling q dozen
names of men whose lives are dear to
him. Berlin has, however, been almost
built enew since 1870. can remember
whole streets that were different when
was boy. There are, TO be sure n
few instances Of memorial plates being
affixed to houses where notable Ger
mans have lived, but even in these cases
the houses themselves are an uninterest-
ing portion of an uninteresting street.
The Prussian kings adored uniformity
in street architecture, as well as in the
dressing Of soldiers, and that may be
the reason why today the most beautiful
streets OF Berlin furnish less interest to
stranger than the grimiest alleys Of
London, with their charming diversity
Of dirty fronta
The houses here arc all equally high,
equally broad, equally gaudy on the
outside and equally devoid Of individu-
ality within. The Anglo-Saxon owns
his house and makes IL comfortable for
himself and his family. The Prussian
lives in an apartment house, along with
perhaps dozen more families, all Of
them subject to the petty tyranny Of a
porter whose duties arc dangerously
near to those Of police agent. Thus
the individual taste Of Berlin artist,
writer, actor or other notable resident
finds no expression through his architec-
tural surroundings. A Helmholtz, n
Mommsen, a Menzel or Virchow is
in Berlin as little identified with his
house as soldier with his barracks.
This form of living has its conveniences,
particularly to bachelor, but is not
conducive to interest in those who seek
the literary landmarks Of great capitals.

MEN BURN SPONTANEOUSLY

Medical Science Records Instances Of the
Combustion OF Flesh From within.
When Dickens used 80 effectively the
spontaneous combustion Of tho human
body as climax for n novel, he had
back Of him great deal Of evidence
that such miracle had actually taken
place.
In an article on 1.-THE Pathology of
Man." in the old French Encyclopedia
Methodiquc, D'Azyr gives the case of
a woman 80 years Of age who had made
practice of going to bed drunk every
day for many years. Her bones were
finally found in tho bed with the flesh
charred from them, as scientists sup
posed, by spontaneous combustion.
The somewhat similar case of Grace
Pitt is given in the transactions Of the
English Royal society She was the
wife of u flshmonger who lived at Ips-
wich, and she was found stretched on
the kitchen floor by her daughter, burn
ing, tho girl said, without flames a"
Her body and legs resembled smoldering
Goals and when water was thrown on
her gave forth the odor of scorched
flesh, accompanied by suffocating
smoke The girl ran from the house and
called in the ncighbors, who found
nothing but bones and charred flesh left
Of the woman. She, too, had been a
hard drinker.
A third case, given in n French essay,
is that Of Mime. dc Boiseon, 80 years
old, who lived near Dol. Il is said
she was very lean and that for several
years she had drunk nothing but spirits.
Her waiting maid found her burning
in her room, the fire In her case, as in
the others, seeming TO originate in the
flesh itself and not In the clothing.
Water thrown on her failed to check the
fire, and she burned until nothing but
her skeleton remained in the chair.
The chair itself was only slightly
scorched. York World.
