We all rem tmber how we formerly
drew pictures of very angular men
and women. A circular line repre-.
scented the head. Two dots made two
eyes. The mouth was line, But this
was when we were very young.
For very soon we gave an upward
curve to the mouth to represent joy.
But downward curve represented
grief, Our crude art had struck the
keynote to eXpression-the same key
notes that gives a room expression,
and without which the room-be it
decorated ever so well-lacks soul. y
One element which can best give
character to a room lies in treatment
of the top trims of doors and windows,
because these are salient and frequent
details looming largely on the walls.
Usually these trims are plain,
straight, horizontal, and the horizontal
line is neutral, with an inclination
toward severity. In the average home
these ungainly horizontal top trims are
hidden so far as the windows are con
cerned, by gathered valance of drap'
ing not possible in the door.
Expression in a room is not neces.
sarily confined to the shape Of the
top trims of doors and windows,
Height has always been associated
with stateliness, and informally has
been associated with the reverse-or
merely moderate heights. Therefore
a less costly way to simulate height
and its reverse may be achieved by
the use of movable plaque shelves
made at small expense, and such as
we illustrate in this article.
The double shelf adds to the height
of the door and gives dignity. The
more complicated single shelf shows
effort to successfully give the apart
ment a coy and informal air.
The completely arranged shelf con
tains in it the dropping curve element
characteristic of the informal curvet
pediment shown in our first drawing

CHESTNUT FLOUR OF CORSICA

Kind of Bread.
The chestnut Is the wheat of Cor

of bread or polenta by the peasants

are slowly dried over small wood
fire and stored until required for
grinding. The mills are OF the SIM

wooden water wheel whose axis turns
a milestone which brushes the shelled
chestnuts against fixed stone.

of a dirty color owing to the pres

NO HEIR FOR CROWN PRINCESS.
Kaiser's Second Son May Succeed to
the Imperial Throne.

According to cablegram from Berlin TO
the New York World the German imperial
family and court circles are greatly de.
pressed over a revelation that has just been
made concerning the German crown prin-
cess 1t has just been learned from excel.
lent sources that the anticipated visit Of
the stork to the young crown princess
household, which was said to be expected
in the spring. will not occur.
Complications have set in which Il In
said. have made such an event quite fm-
possible. A still more alarming feature Of
the situation Is the fact that the court phy4
sicians are now In grave fear that the prin-
cess health and physique are such as to
render the prospects of her ever becoming
the mother of a German emperor extreme
ly remote.
In the event of the failure of the Crown
Princess Cecilia to bear a son the imperial
crown would fall the head OF the next
eldest brother of the crown prince on the
death Of the latter. This would make

Accommodations Not Luxurious.


I remarked at the outset that the accom-
modations provided for members at West
minister cannot accurately be described as
luxurious The smoking room Is often over
crowded, while in the tea room the legisia-
tor runs the risk during the cold months
of being partially roasted by the fire or
chilled by relentless draughts. The library
is comfortable enough, but the apartment
Is far too small. There are certain rooms
set aside for ministers, in which these gen.
tleuen can conduct the work of their de-
partment when their presence in the legis-
lative chamber itself is not required Some
of the rooms are convenient enough: others
are. to use the words of an indignant M. r,
little better than cellars" and 1t would De
gross exaggeration to suggest that any
thing like luxury appertains to the faculties
that are afforded for entertaining visitors.
There Is in the basement cherries smok-

troduce his friends, and dining room
where strangers may dine as. the guests OF
accommodation Is inadequate both here and
in the dining apartment in which the pres
ence of the fair sex is permitted.
In one respect, however, the house Is cx-
cellently served. The catering arrange

with him. but permitted the staff to leave
him for a moment. That was his undoing
and fatal mistake. 1t was decided to as
sassinate him at La Vega, the first stop.
but the conspirators selected for the pur-
pose reported that he was always STIR
rounded by women and children and that to
open fire would cause the death of many
innocent people. The next stop was Moca,
where Caceres lived. Lots were drawn at
the club to see who would make the at
tack, and the lot fell to a boy sixteen years
old. Caceres said: HE has not the nerve;
he will fail; Heureaux killed my father and
tried to assassfnate me. I will take this
in hand myself"
Heureaux carried with him a memoran-
dunn book filled with information furnished
by his spies. He knew of the prosperity of
every citizen. and it was his custom on
these tours to levy tribute. He borrowed
the money. Of course, but never found II
convenient to repay Ii,
At Moca he called on a merchant and ex-
planned his immediate necessity for a loan
of 5000. The merchant pleaded his pow
erty and bad business and finally offered a
thousand dollars, which Heureaux refused.

these requests meant dire calamity. Some

telling his staff to go on down the street

then ensued the duel which ended the life

Restore the Old District Lines.
, Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star:
From the reports of the newspapers IN re-
gard to the lawlessness across the Potomac
river one would think that things would be
better managed If the Districts territory
was again extended into the Old Dominion
The reasons for suggesting this change are
becoming more apparent each year. Such
a course would be beneficial both to the res
idents of that locality and those Washing
tonians who may have occasion to visit or
pass through the adjacent territory. Bad

cants and cross the river TO evade the po-
lice, knowing that the facilities for enforc-

the value placed upon 1t is more thoroughly
understood and appreciated by those Of our
citizens who have had the misfortune to be
residents Of communities where It was lack
ing, Murders and assaults and arson have
been perpetrated within short distance of
the national capital. One man killed an
other over there last June, and If the Wash
inston police had not jailed him on another
charge the chances are that no clue would
ever have been found to bring him to JUS
tice. Another instance happened right on
the borders of our city. Five intoxicated
soldiers grossly insulted the daughters Of a
respectable citizen on the Aqueduct bridge,
and when the constable was asked to inter-
fere he merely advised the ladies to move
out Of the way of the outlaws. The father
was too shrewd a business man to appeal
to the authorities of the county and state
where the assault occurred. He wrote a
letter to the White House. and he got a
reply that soothed his wounded feelings

Tea and Topers.
From the Brooklyn Eagle


A bibber of elaret puts this startling ques-
ton: VIII you take light wine with your
dinner and be sober, or will you take tea
and be drunkard?" Then he proceeds to
prove that the wine-drinking nations are
constantly clothed In their right minds,
while, the tea-drinking countries, England.
Scotland, Holland and notably Russia are
promo to daily with the cup that inebriates
more than 1t cheers, and to break out into
unseemly conduct as result of such DALI
ance Russia consumes more tea than any
other nation. and look at 1t! Not only

massacres. no riots, and none but orderly
changes of a government that never

OF course, there's China, that swims In
tea and does not know how to get drunk,
yet. 1t has liquor that kills at the second
drink, so that the people never have a
chance to get used TO 1t. But tea and
whisky, or tea and gin, appear to go to-
gcther, and the tippler of the fragrant herb
rushes to alcohol to brace up after it. This
seeming relation between what has long
been regarded as the miIdeSt of drinks and
the harshest and most dangerous is one
that the medical faculty would obige us by
looking into, and reporting

What a lot of mischief these o'clock teas
must be brewing, forsooth! Can we blame
the youth who flies from them and HES him
to q brewery? Wine has an evil sound In
the car of the prohibitionist, who drinks tea

George Lindsay johnson, F. r. G. s., says
the trace of truth underlying the slaugh-

Professor Boil of Vienna:
