House & Garden 
in the degree of 
elaboration. 
H ere is ambitious 
paneling, wains¬ 
coting and carved 
ornamentation of 
every sort. In the 
humbler homes 
beams and posts 
are but rudely 
incised and the 
walls are covered 
with wood work 
as simple as possi¬ 
ble to overcome 
the chill of the 
stone wall under¬ 
neath. Where 
more wealth was 
at hand, the floors 
of apartments 
were the only 
portions left un¬ 
touched by the 
wookworker, 
sculptor and 
painter. The 
usual fondness 
PULPIT AND WALL DECORATIONS IN THE 
CHAPEL OF SCHLOSS FURSTENBURG 
for painting upon 
walls is found 
within as it is out 
ot doors, and not 
a few dwellings 
boast the most 
beautiful decora¬ 
tions, consisting 
ot scriptural and 
historic scenes. 
The placing of 
these pictures is 
always curious, 
and fulfills the 
reputation of the 
Tyrolese for put¬ 
ting symmetry 
aside and avoid¬ 
ing anything stiff 
or set in their 
work. For a 
door or window 
to cut boldly 
through a beauti¬ 
ful panel is so 
common that the 
visitor soon tires 
of deprecating it.
