THE CHINESE HOME,
Curious Details Of Oriental WALL
Within-Wall Life.


1t is difficult for the occidental mind
10 picture the wall-within-wa life of
Chinese home Down a narrow row lane
one passes between two walls, behind
which may be novels or palaces. there
is no telling which. since the one-story
roofs beyond are invisible.
one pulls a string at a gateway, the
address of some family of high degree
n servant appears. leads through another
gateway. fiowery courtyard. a passage
way, perhaps another courtyard, a little
room or two. and finally into a reception
room, with its carved wood wainscoting
and furniture. its porcelains and jades
ana DrasSes, its blue-and-green-and-g gold
ceiiing and its window pattern Of paper
panes-
Here the hostess appears, offers her
occidental guest tea or champagne, or
both, with cakes and candied fruit Or
lotus buds Then she NAV lead one
through other courtyards. all with the
usual one-Story rooms around them, and
INTO her secluded garden of rocks and
pools. of pretty paths and bridges, Of
clustering trees and flowers.
In such palace as this each court
yard. with its surrounding rooms, may
be the special home of one Of the sons
and his wife and children: but somewhere
in the maze> of walls. under one of the
low, tiled roofs. Is the common dining
room. with the kitchen beyond. Here
the men of the family eat together twice
a day, and afterward the women and
children. And somewhere also there is
a central family hall, with the ancestral
tablets, which must have their tribute
of incense at proper seasons. These are
held in such reverence that no foot may
pass above them. and therefore two-story
dwellings are unknown in regions uncon-
terminated by foreign influence.

nation of the House provisions for the
reorganization of the army. for a reduc-
ton by five in the number of troops of
cavalry, for the abandonment of numer-
Gus small army posts and for increasing
the enlistment period to five years. The
committee has completed the considera-
ton of the measure, but it probably will
not be reported to the Senate until next
week.
An amendment OF Importance to resi-
dents of the National Capital which the
committee is understood to have adopted
TO the bin would provide for road i'm
provements from the Highway bridge to

Against Consolidation Schemes.

The House provided, in the army appro-
priation bill for the consolidation of the
office establishments Of the quartermaster
general, the commissary general and the
paymaster general of the army and the
corresponding departments Of the army
into a single department, to be known
as the quartermaSter corps. The Senate
committee on military affairs will recon-
mend. il is understood, that such pro-
visions be stricken out.
The House also provided for the con-
solicitation of the adjutant generals de-
partment. inspector generals department,
general staff corps, and the Office estab-
lishments of these departments into the
general staff corps. This involved re-
duction in the number of higher officers
of the army. Here, again, efforts will be
made TO have the Senate strike out the
provisions.
The Senate committee has determined
upon an amendment providing 100000
Tor procuring reserve ammunition for
field artillery for the organized militia OF
the several states and the District of Co
lumbia.

Plan to Retain Forts.

The House bill had proposed the aban-
donment. as army posts. of Fort Apache,
Boise barracks. Fort Brady. Fort Clark,
Fort George Wright Fort Jay, Fort Lin
coin. Fort Logan II. Root, Fort McIn-
tosh. Fort Mckenzie. Madison barracks,
Fort Meade. Fort Niagara. Fort Ontario,
Fort Wayne. Whipple barracks. Fort
William Henry Harrison Fort Yellow
stone. Fort Ethan Allen, P1attsburg bar
racks. Fort Robinson, Fort Missoula, Fort
Logan, Fort Douglas and Fort D. A. Rus
sell.
The abandonment of these forts and
barracks, however. did not appeal to the
Senate commtte on military affairs, and
ii is understood the committee will rec
ommend the striking out of the bill of the
sections which would result in the with
drawal of troops from them.
The subcommittee of the full commit
tee, which prepared the amendments to
the bill, agreed upon the elimination of
the army reorganization plans which
kicked up such row in the House when
the bill was under consideration. But
this is sure to provoke a fight in the
Senate, the democrats in the upper
house are anxious to uphold the demo-
Gratis of the other house and pass the
appropriation bills substantially as they
come from the House

Shortens Route to Arlington.

OF that increase. it is agreed by the
committee that $4,000 shall be used for
the construction Of a public road from
point near the southern end of the new
Highway bridge across the Potomac river
TO convenient point near the southern
boundary line of the Arlington reserva-
ton, thence along the boundary line of
the reservation to the old country road
which passes centrally through the
Arlington reservation, and thence along
that road. improving and repairing 1t,
To the northern boundary of the Airing
ton reservation The Secretary of War
also is given authority to acquire by
condemnation such land, not exceeding
four acres. as may be necessary for the
construction of this road.
The new highway would give a new
route TO the Arlington national GENE
terry from the National Capital: and this
new route would be much shorter than
the present one through Georgetown and
across the Aqueduct bridge.
1t also is proposed by the committee
that 900 shall be used to macadamize
the road upon government property be-
tween the United States experimental
farm and the Arlington cemetery.
