FURNITURE AND ITS MAKERS
"Learn One Day"
NO 2-cHARLES ANDRE BOULLE AND DANIEL MAROT
lCopyright b The Mentor Assoelaton. Incl

The English court We'd with France
In Its extravaganza, and heaped hon
ors and wealth on the man who, like
Boulle, in France, was foremost
among designers of furniture in this
country. The authorities on fine fur
.niture nearly always speak of Marot's
work in connection with that of the
great Boulle. Daniel Marot was the
son of Jean Marot, an architect and
engraver. After he went to England
with William III. he principally con-
centrated his talent upon the adcrn-
ment of Hampton Court Palace. Much
of the furniture at Hampton Court
bears unmistakable traces of his au-
thorship. At Windsor Castle also
there is a silver table that is sttri-
buted to him.
Marot's work differs from that IF
Boulle in that he inserted, in medallion
form, pictorial subjects in a heavy
framework of ornament. In other
pieces the inlay took the form of geo
metrical, floral and animal patterns
combined with the warmer and more
beautiful tints of the exotic woods
The whole was marked by an unsur-
passed degree of excellence in work.
manship.
Besides furniture Marot designed
carved chimney pieces, panels for
walls and ceilings, and wall brackets.
He was also famous as a designer of
gold and silver plate, and he even
made tea urns and cream jugs.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
An American artist who has just
returned from Paris after residence
of several years In the city to which
good Americans are said to go when
they die, says she is struck with the
delightful spaces of New York in COM
parison with the cramped conditions
in Paris. "There seems to be more
elbow room in America" she says
land elbow room is never SO much
appreciated as by those who have en-
joyed it and lost it,"
New York is a crowded city as
American cities go, asd Paris is
spacious, in every corner, as cities OF
the world go. 1t Is in the Orient that
there is painful lack of elbow room
The tourist, especially during his first
experience of an Oriental country, OF
his travels in the first Oriental coun-
try he visits, is so impressed with
novelty that he thinks little about the
lack of SPACE. The same is true of
the diminutive bits of ground that are
called farms in the East, where hill
sides that would lie fallow in America
as unworthy of cultivation are
plated, terraced irrigated and made
to produce a living to a small army
of small farmers.
About the utilization of space Amer
leans have much to learn from the
older and more crowded countries. AS
they are forced to learn it they will
gain an appreciation of the luxury OF
elbow room. They will get better
understanding of the passion for the
magnificent distances of an unsettled
country that stimulated the pioneers
who were either Europeans. or but
one generation removed from Euro
peans, who had lived in the densely-
populated parts of the continent. But
the worst European cities are spa
cious in comparison with the hives
into which humanity is packed in the
East.
A lack of elbow room is the cause OF
many of the frightful plaques that
have swept the older countries. 1t is
the cause of a standing condition OF
extreme poverty for the masses, com
pared with which the poverty of the
shiftless occupant of a one-room LOG
cabin in the agricultural South is
wealth.

Opinions and Views
from the Exchanges
Baths Inspired swlnburne.

From the London Chronicle.
Swinburne evidently found baths a
source of inspiration, for he told Mr..
Edmund Gosse that "Baudelaire" was
written In a Turkish bath. Dr. john
son, on the other hand, regarded them
with suspicion. When an old Lich-
field friend, showing him over house
built specially for him. dilated on the
advantages of the bathroom, the doc
tor said: Sir are you well?" "Quite
well, thank you, DOCTOR" was the re-
ply. Then. sir, let we'll alone I hate
immersion"
Crying the Case in the Newspapers"
From the New York Sun.
At a "Sulzer rally" in Brooklyn
General Horatio C. King is reported
to 'have upheld the governor for not
trying his case in the newspapers.
This is the best piece of unconscious
sarcasm that has been uttered to
date. What with circular letters to
every governor in the Union, what
with rhetorical epistles to congress-
men which somehow are made pub
lie, what with two prose odes upon
himself to the Righteous One and the
published reply from the same Fount
of Virtue, what with the broadsides
and telegraphed hosannahs from the
Hon. Lynn j. Arnold to every corner
of the State, case might have been
tried less in the newspapers but
surely not more.
Hardly had General King taken his
seat than there was afforded to him
proper illustration of how carefully
Governor Sulzer has refrained from
any desire to prejudice popular opinion.
The Hon. Joseph Barondess, a men,
Der of the Board of Education, arose
and read to the audience of $500 let
ter in which Governor Sulzer conclud-
ed with these words of staggering de-
fiance:
81 was impeached by the use of
promises and intimidation. I was i'm
peached because l would not violate
my oath of office. The facts will all
come out in the end, when the people
will fully understand the truth. I
have no fear of the outcome
Who could 'intimidate" william
Sulzer from replying to categorical
charges with categorical answers, ex-
cept William Sulzer himself? Violate
his oath of office? Has he not that
oath confused with another oath that
he made on a false statement of fact?
1t was the violation of the latter oath,
not the former, that impeached Gov
ernor Sulzer.
The rest of his reply that 1.-THE facts
will come out in the end, when the
people will understand the truth"
ETC., is familiar chicanery. The
trouble is that the facts have come
out and that Governor Sulzer has not
answered them. No shilly shally can
get away from his own sworn state
ment of his campaign fund, signed
and filed with the secretary of state.

A Legal View of Him as the Slave OF

"a professional baseball player in

measure his liberty and becomes the
property Of his employer" writes Al

i'If this was the basis Of compensa-
ton for the lawyer. in the rural dis
tricts he would speedily become mil

Of a whole community, and the greater
his success, the wider his reputation,
the more abject is his slavery. His
clients are tyrannical. They know and
recognize no Office hours. The month

hours between late dusk and early
dawn for repose, but even these are
frequently denied the country lawyer.

MYSTERIOUS LEAD BALL
LARGE Leaden Ball, Weighing Sixteen
Pounds Is Found in Woods, North
Of Montesano

MONTESANO, July 7-Some inter
est and curiosity has been aroused by
the discovery of large lead ball on
the right-of-way of the c. c. L. &
T. Co.'S railway track about four miles
northeast of this city. The ball weighs
fraction less than 16 pounds and
is very similar in appearance to q
shot used in athletic field events.
How such a missile would be found
four miles out in the woods is
something that is very puzzling,
however, and many and varied are
the conjectures that have been
offered as to the origin and pur-
pose of the lead ball. The metal
is soft and a good quality of lead.
That it might have been an encum-
brance left behind by some escap-
ing criminal who had worn ball
and chain was a theory advanced.
but there is no mark Of any place
where it might have been attached
to a chain. The ball was brought to
this city by Frank Thompson, sup
erintendent of the logging works.
