1t is surprising to one who has not
given the matter thought, how many
little points there are connected with
the planning OF an up-to-date con-
Venlent residence that can be gotten
all wrong IL the architect is not ex-
!ceedingiy careful or doesn't know his
business, and the house resulting be
almost ruined. SO far as comfort and
the conveniences of housekeeping are
concerned.
IL has frequently been suggested
that architects doing residence work
should seek advice of the women
concerning many points, and find out
from first-hand testimony just how
the housekeeper wants to have the
many features which mean SO much
TO her, but which mere man knows
very little of. Some of these points
that have been suggested are as fol-
lows:
What woman would put in laundry
tubs so deep that the luckless worker
who is of short or medium stature is
in constant danger OF pitching for
ward upon her head, while the tall
woman can at least reckon upon a
headache or backache as the result of
a few hours work; or, who but man
would make the ledge between the
tubs SO wide that no ordinary wringer
can be fitted to it7 Would any WON
an dream of standing kitchen range
so close to the wall on the side where
the match has to be applied and the
stop-cocks regulated that 1t is only
by difficult maneuvering with the left
hand that the range can be managed
at all?
Nor Is there any plausible reason
for so arranging the wall spaces that
the refrigerator must stand next to
che stove. while the closet in the
kitchen, which is to be used as
pantry, is as far away from the self
same stove as It is possible to place
1t. presumably to give the cook some
needed exercise In getting up meal
Another idea which should suggest
itself to the woman architect, or archi-
tects assistant, is the fact that the
toilet room, IL there is but one, should
be separate from the bathroom, as a
matter of family convenience; also,
IL the bathroom Is on the second floor.

WIttc on War.

Count Witte, the famous Russian
statesman, estimates that 40 per cent
of the total income of the great pow
ers is absorbed by their armies and
navies. OF the consequences he
writes: when and how will it all
end? Unless the great states which
have set this hideous example agree
to call halt, so to say, and knit their
subjects into pacific, united Europe,
war is the only issue / can perceive.
And when / say war, / mean a Ron-
flict which win surpass in horror the
most brutal armed conflicts known to
human history and entail distress
more widespread and more terrible
than living men can realize"

NapoIeon's Vain Hone.

One hundred years ago, March 8,
the allied army advancing on Paris
was seriously threatened In the rear
by the French peasantry. Long unac-
customed to invasion, and exasperated
by the devastation wrought by the
invaders. the peasants gathered into
troops and massacred the foreign SOL
diery when not in sufficient numbers
to keep them in check. This led Ma.
poleon to hope that his diminished
army would be supported by a general
rising Of the people. But in this he
was disappointed. The people didn't
rise In any considerable number, and
the allies continued to march upon
Paris, convinced that the possession
of the French capital must inevitably
bring the war to a favorable conclu-
sion.

DENMARK.

In the sleepy old township OF Fair
ford, Worcestershire, there is an en-
thusiastic and energetic young man
who is learning to till the soil At
Hartford they call him Peter, and he
seems to like 1t, but the Almanach de
Gotha describes him as Prince Erik
Fredrik Christian Alexander, third son
of Prince Va!demar of Denmark,
cousin OF King Christian X, and
nephew of Queen Alexandra of Eng
land. Farmer Pete freely admits that
he much prefers Worcestershire farm
life to gold lace and court boredom.
Including his father and brothers,
there are ten lives between Prince
Erik and the Danish throne, so he has
resigned himself to comparative OBJ
security, and as Denmark is neither
rich enough nor willing to keep the
numerous members of the various
branches of its royal family in idle
ness, the prince is preparing himself
to earn his own living. His father,
Prince Valdemar, who has comfort
able fortune but a large family, Is
keenly interested in agriculture, and
has advised his sons to turn their
hands to farming. so young Erik is
eagerly absorbing all the English ag-
riculturists can teach him, under the
favorable conditions that exist in
Worcestershire. A fine-looking, ath-
letic youngster OF twenty-four, the
prince quickly made a hit with the
farmers by his democratic disposition.
Fairford ranks him second only to
the squire In Importance.
