oped from early |ge®, when eave®,
rocks and later moands of earth end
wood furnished tha dw elling place for
tbe fam ily. Undeveloped were tbe ln-
stiuets which prompted primeval man
to seek a place o f shelter fo r hia own
little circle e f human being*. They
were, however, the beginning of tbe
highest and strongest social Institution
in the world, that of fam ily life and
the private home. Now conditions
have changed, people have developed,
and tbe borne most be something more
than a place of shelter. It la still tbe
keystone of the nation, tbe place
where those qualities which make for
good cltlxenship are developed, and
therefore It la worthy of all the
thought, all the intelligent planning
and the noblest feelings that can be
brongbt to it. The true home should
reflect the character of the people who
Inhabit IL and above all else it should
be of such a nature as to bring oul
tbe best tbere la In each Individual
txneatb It* roof. And a home In the
tree sense of the word can and does
do thia.
T h in g s N e t to D e .
Borne of the most glaring faults In
home furnishing are the commonest,
those committed tboughtlesaly or per
haps, to be more exact, those prompt
ed by the dictates of fashion. It la so
much easier very often to put Into our
homee and wear on our persona, even
to put Into onr manner, those things
which fashion eaya are right rather
than to adopt those things which suit
our own Individuality, environment
eld are combined without questioning
rhe(her one suits the other or not,
aud In consequence both are spoiled,
•erne Rules to Fallow.
To furnish a home satisfactorily one
must always consider the style of
bouse. Its location, tbe use to which it
is to be put. as well as tbe cost of its
furnishing. Not a single piece of fu r
niture should be bought without some
thought as to whether It la suitable for
the home and Its use; also whether It
w ill be In harmony w ith furniture al
ready In i t
When a woman has sufficient money
a t her command and can furnish the
house completely from cellar to attic
I t M an easy m atter to give tbe con
tract Into the hands o f a professional,
occaaionally with good results, some
times disappointment. But when one
most consider dollars carefully and
furnish one room at a time, possibly
only getting the absolute necessities
for that room at first, i t la a harder
problem to solve. Th«r latter woman,
however, la the pne whom 1 should
like to help. Remember, then. In the
first place not to buy anything unlesa
It la appropriate to the use for which
It la intended as well aa for the com
pleteness of the room. Remember to
always select the real and substantial
tn preference to tbe showy Imitation.
I f It la a question of tables, buy the
simplest form, made o f perfect wood,
with best flulab, rather than the elab
orately carved, showy piece fllmslly
put together. A good enameled Iron
or plain brass bedstead w ill be Infinite
ly more satisfactory tn the end than
one of cheap tulald wood.
A large expenditure of money does
not always Imply a satisfactory home
Truth and harmony, the elements of
beauty, may be secured In the moet
inexpensive cottage as well as In the
palace.
Tbe Ideal country house Is built on
broad, generous lines. l\ever should It
have the high, narrow, cramped roof
frequently seen on crowded city
streets, where space la at a premium.
It should have also roomy verandas
and porches, low ceilings, wide, low
windows and hospitable looking doors
opening Into comfortable, homelike
rooms. Ruch a house should be sincere
tn its furnishings—should not suggest
Imitation in any way. Thia Impression
of genuluenesa can be given by Inex
pensive material, even by homemade
furniture, very much better than by
showy workmanship carelessly per
formed.
Treetmsnt of High Callings.
Rome of tbe houses built forty or
fifty years ago have ceilings too high
to sBprwM» real comfort
A
by 12 feet w ltb a twelve foot cell
lug has the appearance o f being ex
tremely narrow, while a room the
name else with a nine foot celling may
give a real cosy effect. What is to be
done w ith the high celling? The sim
plest way out of tbe difficulty le to
cheat the eye Into forgetfulness of
those extra three feet. Thia can be
done by using horizontal lines In tbe
wall decoration. Either tbe celling pa
per can be brought down on the wall
to tbe distance of three feet, the up
per part of tbe wall may be finished
with a frieze, or three feet at the
bqse may he covered with canvas or
wood paneling, then six feet of figured
paper, finished with a narrow picture
molding and Joining the celling paper,
which has been dropped three feet.'
Any of these methods will give the
lmpresslou of a lower celling.
Borders have their place In wall dec
oration. but they should not be used
In rooms with low ceilings. Such a
room should be decorated wltb striped
paper and have the wall covering ex
tend close up to the angle formed by
the calling, and here the picture mold
ing la pat on. Never use wide stripes
or large designs of any kind on a small
room, and bear In mind that simplicity
In deelgn and color Is a good rule to
follow In wall decorations as well as
In any part of bouse furnishing.
Good and Bed In W all Covering.
The owner of a new bouse la In
clined to Jeave the walls undecorated
for tbe first few months at least after
the house la finished. Hla reason may
be tbe added expense of decoration, or
be may think he prefers the plain
white wail just for Its simplicity and
because it le sanitary. I f the walla
have been finished with a smooth
white surface It Is more than likely
every one w ill weary of them In a
short time. Plain white walla give the
feeling of being shut In a box. aa If
there were a lim it to apace. A smooth
white eurfZce also tlree the eyes. Not
so t h e rough plasters, which ere quite
generally need nowadays. And I f to
the plaster has been added a little
c o lo r, a hint o f grey or deep cream, the
e ffe c t Is satisfying for a long time
Indeed, for almost any room In tbe
house, w ith the possible exception of
the reception room or parlor, thia
rough surface simply tinted makes a
moet desirable w ell finish. The smooth
w all may be decorated tn almost any
color w ith calcimine or mureqpo, glv

Distinguished mathematical profess
ors from all over New England were
present and gazed In wonder as tbe
rosy cheeked boy In short trousers
placed ou the blackboard row a fte r
row of figures to prove hla difficult
and profound theories. Many of them
frankly professed their Ignorance of
the subject of which the boy talked so
glibly and again and agnln called on
him to explain anew some mathem at
ical theorem.
Young Sldls, who waa accompanied
by his father. Dr. Boris Bid Is, the w ell
known psychologist, stepped to the
front and. with a childish laugh, be
gan hia lecture. He wore a red hand
kerchief such as Is commonly worn by
boys In the prim ary schools, and hla
handw riting was that of a child. Bat
hla mind was fa r from childish, and
some of hla Ideas were beyond tbe
comprehension of many of hla auditor*.
Took Advanced Court«.
The fourth dimension, tbe subject of
the boy’s lecture, belong* to tbe high
est branch of mathematics aud la com
monly looked upon as a study for only
the oldest and most experienced pro
fessor*. It exist* ouly aa a mathemat
ical theory. The three obvious dimen
sions of space may be Illustrated by a ’
straight line, by a plane like tbe top
o f a table and by a cube. In the fourth
dimension the figures o f the third dl-
ueed as shlea. and a figure la con
structed. Thia figure can be explained
and Illustrated only in terms of geom
etry.
Young Sidle has acquired his knowl
edge o f tbe subject by taking the moet
advanced courses in
mathematics
given at Harvard. H e has worked out
number of original theories which
are said to have been accepted by
the mathematicians. Tbe boy started
his lecture by an explanation of tbe
meanlug of the fourth dimension and
then proceeded to show how these
fourth dimensional figures are con
structed.
Fourth Dimension’s Great Value.
“People are apt to look on tbe fourth
dimension spat e as something of the
oretical value only,” aald young Sldls.
T h is Is wroug. I t has great value In
solving some of the most difficult of
geometrical problems, and a good un
derstanding of the subject la apt to
geometry.
“Tbe fourth dimensional apace la a
Euclidian space w ith ooe more dimen
sion added to IL I t Is formed by a
direct perpendicular to the third di-
meus louaI space, lu reasoning tn thia
apace wo take the axioms of plane
aud solid geometry as evidence. The
fourth dimensional solid la called a
configuration. Any sort o f third di
mensional space may be the bounda
ries of the fourth dimensional apace,
in tbe fourth dimensional space wa
uho the cube aud polygons of the
third dimensional space aa faces and
with these construct the figure of the
fourth dimension.
'These figures cannot be grasped by
onr mind, but can be reduced to •
geometric formula end can be con
structed by tbe eld o f geometry aud
algebra. It la possible to construct by
thia means figures of tbe fourth dimen
sion with 101» sides or faces, called
hecatonicocehedrlgoae. or figures w it h
600 aides, celled eexlcocehedrlgona.
Often there are gape »eft In tbe fourth
dimensional apace«», and 1 fill these up
by sllpptag to polyhedrigone <rf tbe ep- z
proprtate shape.
“ 1 attach great value in the working
out of my theories to the help given
by the polyhedral angles o f tbe dodeca
hedron which enter luto many of the
problems. Borne qf the things that I
have found out about the fourth di
mension w ill aid in tbe solution of
many o f tbe problem® o f elliptical
geometry.“
Yonng Sldls, w ith tbe aid o f a cray
on. explained the construction of
some fourth dimensional figure® hith
erto unknown to the professors. H e
said that the new theories advanced
by him st the lecture would revolu
tionise the etmly of geometry.
After tbe lecture the members of
the Harvard faculty and many others
wbo beard young Sldls crowded around
the youthful prodigy to ask him ques
tions and to have him explain again
some o f the more difficult o f bis the
ories. which Sidle readily did.
