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 paipt- 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 ljess 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 stret¢h- ler was only a few inches above the | ground, but when. later on, rugs and carpets came into more general usé and rooms became more comfortabl¢. 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 earved legs, and finally—a leisurely last |—came backs and arms and with them the luxurious rocker.

Among the perilous adventures of the Nansen arctic expedition was the’ narrow escape of Nansen and Johan- sep on their return trip to the Fram after their unsuccessful dash for the pole. After many months of hardship 2 Darrow chunnel opened in the ice. end they launched the two light kaiaks that they bad curried on their sledges for more than a year. A few days aft- erward ter nearly put an end to the expedition. The incident is related in “The Siege und 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 kuiaks, which were lashed together. had been moored by means of one of the braces they ascended & bummock close by and had been stand- ing there only a moment when Jobane 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, handed 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 his 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 he 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 he could not do so. After a little 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. 4 A Chilly Forecast.
