EVOLUTION OF THE CHAIR. | The Leisurely Progress From the Three Legged Stool to the Luxurious Rock- | er—Origin of the Table Drawer—The | First Picture Frames, | If you only knew it, queer little ro- mances are peeping out at you all over your house, from attic to cellar. They are well worth looking for. Framed pictures had to have a begin- ning. They date back to about 500 years ago, when peaceful monks paint- ed the walls of their living rooms with Scriptural subjects. Then one day some one conceived the bright idea of nailing wood around these frescoes so as to separate the subjects. A little later came gilding—and the evolution of the modern picture frame was sim- ply a matter of time. The drawing room is a perfect mine of history. As most people know, this is, strictly, the “withdrawing room,” to which one withdraws after dinner, as the name implies. The antimacassars over the backs of the chairs similarly carry their object in life in their name. These more or Jess artistic things had their begin- | nings some 150 years ago, when every one used macassar oil for the hair. |The mistress of the household then | would no more permit greasy polls to spoil her fine chairs than would the modern mistress. And, lo, the antima- cassar! Of chairs themselves. perhaps the most interesting feature is the familiar erossbar—technically known as the stretcher—which joins the front legs. Nowadays its purpose is usually for ornamentation, sometimes strength, though often it is absent altogether. It barks back to the days of the first chairs, when knights and dames want- ed to keep their feet off the cold, drafty. rush littered fioors; hence the stretcher. Originally the stretch- }er was only a few inches above the ground, but when. later on. rugs and carpets came into more general use and rooms became more comfortable, the stretcher gradually lost its impor- tance. It is curious to note that the cozy armchair was the last stage of ail. Cushions and padding were the first additions to the plain seat. Then «ame painted chairs and afterward carved legs, and finally—a leisurely last |—came backs and arms and with them | the luxurious rocker. In point of fact the chair is easily the most important piece of furniture you ily speaking. ‘To_ this ir’ denotes, taking . reminiscent of the time when there was only one chair in a room, three legged stools at the most being provided for less important folk. Window curtains, again, have their little romance. Originally all windows were in the roof, but in time came open windows in the wall. 1 e middie ages some one brought from China the idea of using cloth to coyer the win- dows, and there is the origin of your curtain, witb its frills and leops. The gia andelier, if you have on: —they are out of fashion now—can b* jput down to the workmen refugees from France driven from their homes by Louis XIV. by the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685. $ Even the drawer in the —any table drawer, for the that—bad to be thought of, but nobody did manage to think of fixing a Grawe: to a table unti] some imyeterate car. player—his name is forgotten—wanter a handy piace for the cards when the; were not in use. The very thing’ Ant table drawers were invented. “Kitchen.” by the way. is derives from an Anglo-Saxon word means “to cook,” while “seullery”—which pos itively notping to do with “seul: lion”—comes m a word meaning “é bowl.” Some of your furniture mdy ‘wel have an English political bias! it cer tainly is so if it bears that familiarde sign based upon the Prince of Wales feathers. Hepplewhite, the famous far niture designer, began it. In bis time there was a strong Tory party support, ing George 111., while the Whig party was headed by the Prince of Wales Hepplewhite was an ,ardeut Whig and accordingly introduced Prince of Wales’ feathers into bis furniture de signs on every possible occasion. ie cidentally the sofa is an importation from the ease loving Arabs. whe “suffah” was a long bench outside house. i" comes from exactly the same roat-#s- the infernal regions! — Phiagelph!

Among the perilous adventures of| the Nansen arctic expedition was the; narrow pe of Nansen and Johan- sep on their return trip to the Fram after their unsuccessful dash for the pole. After many months of bardship E nel opened in the i ‘y nehed the two light ka that they had carried on their for more than erward di the expedition. The incident is related in “The Siege and Conquest of the North Pole.” by Mr. George Bryce. In the evening their legs felt stiff} with sitting in the kaiaks all day, and they landed on the edge of the ice so that they might stretch them a little. After the &: which were lashed together. had been moored by means of one of the braces they ascended & bhummock close by and bad been stand- ing there only a moment when Joba, sen raised the cry that the kaiaks were adrift. They ran to the edge of the ice, but the boats were already a little way off and were drifting quickly. The posi- tion was a terrible one, for all they possessed was on board. Nansen at once threw off some of his clothing, banded his watch to Johansen and sprang into the icy water. He knew that if the boats were lost it meant death to him and his companion. At first it seemed more than doubtful whether he could manage to regain them. When he got tired he turned over and swam on his back. At length be gained a little and redoubled his exertions. By this time Nansen felt bis limbs stiffening aud losing all feeling. His strokes became more and more feeble, but the distance from the kaiaks be- came shorter. and at last be was able to grasp a snowshoe that lay across the sterns. He now tried to pull him- self up. but his body was so stiff with cold that be could not do so. After a Httle he managed to swing one leg up to the edge of the sledge that was lashed to the deck and then raised the rest of his body. They were saved: With some difficulty he paddled the kaiaks back to Johansen, who admitted that these were the worst moments he had ever lived through. Johansen now pulled off Nansen’s wet clothes, put on the few dry ones they had in reserve, spread the sleeping bag upon the ice and covered Nansen with the sail and everything he could find to keep out the cold. The next day Nansen was all right again, and in the evening they pressed forward once more on the march that finally brought them out of the arctic. | S A Chilly Forecast. The earth is growing in bulk on ac-! count of the meteoric dust that fails on! it. It has recently been estimated that 100 tons fall daily over the surface of the giobe, and that millions of years hence this will have increased the thickness of the earth considerably. This would have a tendency to bring us closer to the sup. But centrifugal force is augmented at the same time in greater proportion and counteracts this tendency; consequently the earth would be swept away from the sun, with the | result that its distance from that body would. be considerably augmented. This is spoken cf as having possibly happened to some of the larger outet pisnets, notably Jupiter, in the remote past.—Harper's. Milk became a very important part of the food of families in the colonial @ays of the eighteenth century. In 1728 a discussion took place in the Boston newspapers as to the expense of keeping a family of “middling fig- re.’ These writers all named only and milk for breakfast and sup- per. As cows increased in number, milk. of course, became more frequent- by used. Rev. Mr. Higginson in 1630 wrote that milk cost in Salem but a penny a quart, while another minis- ter, John Cotton, said that milk and tuinisfers were the only things cheap ip New England.—American Cultivator. f Krew the Symptoms, ' *Deector, my husband is losing his mind, 1 fear.

The question of the age of his first IHC wagon came up. He thought he had had it about five years. The dealer looked up his old books and found that the wagon was pur- chased on the 15th of July, 1905, being now seven years old and practically as good as new. A man may forget when he bought his I H C Weber Columbus New Bettendorf Steel King but he cannot forget the long, faithful service he gets from it.

The metal parts are mostly steel of the strongest and best kind. Weber and Colum- bus wagons have wood gears, while Steel King and New Bettendorf have steel gears.
