The act was symbolical, intending
to bring to jchovales attention the
haughtiness of the Assyrians, The
letter contained the threat of Sen-
nacherib, to the effect that no na-

fully. This warning was reinforced
by tho events which had brought
the Assyrian, forces through a series
f eonquests to Jerusalem. It was
tune of severe testing. But the
King of Judah was no doubt forti-
fied by the assurances of Isaiah.

just a 'hundred years old. In 1511
when the first crueible furnace for

hard-working young man, Fred-
erick Krupp, the total population
of Essen was under 4,000.
In 1691 it was 183,500, of which
the Krupp contingent numbered
about 84,000. This, and a great

The chimney is brick.
Most of -the furniture in this
home was made of logs by., the car-
penter after designs originated by
the owner. The lighting fixtures
are particularly delightful, being
fashioned of pirie branches and
cones and supported on heavy iron
chains. The fireplace was built of
rough stone from a neighboring
quarry, -topped with a huge log.
The buffet on the opposite side of
the living room was a rustic affair,
also topped by a, monster log,
which received no other treatment
than to have a slab removed to
present a flat surface for a shelf.
AS TO F RNISIII NG.
There are great ,possibilities in
the 'furnishing of such a house' and
the fact that the furniture need
cost little or nothing will give un-
bounded scope to the work ,.that
may be attempted. Chairs, set-
tees, 'tables, stools, a grotty, of
shelves, a ,simple dressing :table,
and even a frame for a, bed might
be attempted by an aniateur ear-
penter with good success. Pine
cones for candle holders, rustic
jardinieres filled with woods ferns
make attractive' additions to a liv-
ing room of this nature. Rough
home-weverk, rugs on ,the floor, a

simple white and Swiss curtains at
the windows make the room very
attractive

This is not done in the United
States, where the impatience of
hand processes, which is character-
istic and had led to such remark-
able development of automatic

their construction—light, spacious

The most striking feature of Ger-
man iron and steel factories is their
clean, orderly and well kept con-
dition. These qualities seem to
be universal, and they extend to
the dirtiest and most untidy de-
partments. The German foundries
were a revelation to me. They are
as clean and well kept and almost
as light as any other shop.
ONE CROWNLESIS KING.
Of the long line of kings which
have ruled our lancl since the days
of 'William the Conqueror, nearly
900 years ago, there ha,s only been
one uncrowned king. King Edward
V., the boy -king, who met an un-
toward, fate in the Tower of Lon-
don in 1483, is the only monarch
vho reigned without receiving the
'Church's blessing or the formal
homage of his subjects. Some peo-
ple include Lady Jane ,Grey among
our monarchs. If this doubtful
claim is allowed, our only uncrown-
ed queen ranks with Edward V.,
and deprives 'him of one distinction,
