ECCENTRIC PAVING.
Louis XIV. Covered One Courtyard
 With Silver and Gold.

With Silver and GOids
 Many interesting instances of indi- Vidual eccentricity or extravagance In the selection of material for paving streets anG roads may be cited 1t is related that when MaXimilian Eman- uel succeeded to the throne of Bavaria he celebrated the event by causing one Df the roads leading to his palace to be paved with plates of furnished cop per. This. gieaming in the sunshine, gave all the effect of the more precious metal gold. .s
 We are told also that Louis XIV. paved one of the courts at Versailles with squares of silver each of which had recorded upon 1t some triumph of the French arms In the center of the court stood large tablet of gold in representation of the luxurious mOn- arch's fayOrite emblem, the sun. Mem Oirs of the time of Louis make men tion of q lodge erected to the love of his youth. the fair Louise de Ia Val Here. The approach was paved with mirrors wherein was painted an ale gory setting forth the undying devo- tion of the. king to Louise
 An eccentric nobleman of Milan con- ceived the idea of paving the court yard of his palace with slabs of mar ble. granite and other stone, each from a different land 1t is said that Flu rope. America. Asia. Africa and Aus tralia all contributed materials to make up this quaint mosaic composed of mora fElft i MN1 nipcpS evpPv ono of which was suitably inscribed with the name of the country or state whence it came.

ARTISTIC JAPAN.

Rules of Harmony Prevail In Even thG Humblest Homes.
 By far the greatest charm of Japan and her people lies not only in the 1 fact that the artists know the secret of the most wonderful carvings. cast l ings, wood and metal work. silken brOcades and tapestries. exquisite cloi-
 gonnes and porcelains. things for the 1 fortunate few, but also in the further l and more important fact that the l daily life of the poor is surrounded, 1 peFmeated, interfused by taste and re-
 f1nement. Even the Workmen in their 1 gardens and homes are. daily using
 tasteful domestic implements which ] are the outgrowth of the thought and l needs of the people.
 : The designs and proportions of, the
 humhleSt houses. eXteriors and inte-
 riors. are settled for all time by cer-
 tainfr of harlnony; the dress of the peasant Is not left to possible hideous individual caprice. but follows estab.

 may be very old. but which, as a re l suit. adds ilnmeaSIIrabl bly, to the satie-

 And yet Japanese craftsmen. while
 holding hard by tradition, have not
 failed to add to their work the subtle
 touch of personality. In the motifs of
 their delicately impressionistic and ] symbolical designs Is constantly seen their reverence for the early masters and as constantly is perceived the in-
