the solid color backgrounds should be
arranged next, the effects strfven for
being extremely plain In door, wall
and ceiling, selecting light and har-
monious tones. Drape the windows
80 as to exclude as little light as pos
sible, and then begin to carefully dec
crate the agreeable fat surfaces, one
Of the main ideas Of the new straight
line style being to keep the surfaces
fat. Not only should all the pictures
be decorative In line and coloring
themselves, but they should be framed
with extreme simplicity in narrow
wood molding, some frames rectangu-
lar, some few round or oval. to give
q sense of diversity In line. They
should be hung perfectly fiat against
the wall, suspended from the moldfng
by one thin wire of as near as pos
sible the color Of the wall paper.
Curtains and other draperies should
always be hung In straight lines. and
never draped, and should be used only
when absolutely necessary. A tardy
recognition Is being given to the
beauty Of the straight line, and that
is why the gilded and curved furni-
ture is going out and the mission and
new art styles coming ia. AS few
cushions as possible consistent with
comfort should be used. and the up
holstery should be extremely simple.
In the accompanying picture of an
alcoye delightful and dignified effect
was gained by the Introduction of two
formal plants in pottery jars. The
large and peculiarly paned window
gave an abundance Of light. which
was toned and shaded by the thin
green mesh curtains. The color
scheme Of the alcove was soft gray,
green or gold, and was faithfully car
ried out in the details of the decorar
ton.

FLOUR MILLING IN CHINA.
Interest That Seems to 'Promiss
Wealth for Investors.

In Shanghai there are some five
-four mills, with individual capacities
running up to 800 barrels day, in
the main owned and operated by Chi
nese, although one is run by Germans.
These use wheat from the Soochow
creek district, and even as far as Han
kow, some 600 miles. Recently. how
ever, cargo of $4,000 bags of Tacoma
wheat was received by one of these
mills. They have been very prosper
Gus for three years past-some OF
them having been in operation for six
years--but during the last year there
has been. big shortage in native
grown wheat, and the high rate of ex-
change at present seriously affects
them.

Junk bay, some hours ride by launch
from the center OF the city Of Victoria
(popularly called Hongkong), on the

THE REoRcANizEp NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board Of Trustees OF the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work Of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers of
the company, the Beard has adhered
to the idea that a life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley, q college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been In the company's service In
variety of capacities for a period of
nearly twenty years. In the pariance
Of life insurance, he began with the
rate book and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the COM
pany Is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than
quarter of century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert In his own de-
partment OF work. VIM. e. Ingersoll.
who has for many years had charge
of the company's great business in
Europe. is one of the second vice pres
idents. and will continue at the head
Of the company's Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been In
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary Of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief In this company In no I'M
certain terms. The upheaval In life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders. alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true In the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $4,000, 000. 900 insurance on
its books when the life insurance I'm
vestigation began. and while the laws
OF the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$3.50, 100000 year (which Is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the coinpany's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds $4,000, 100000.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
Of thorough training and unexception-
able character.
