10 THE MOBNING OKBGONIAN. THURSDAY. JTLY 26, 1900. THE FURNITURE OF (Copyright. 1080, by THE ORhGONIAN'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE: HISTORIC STUDIES IN HOME FURNISHING BT MARGARET AINSLEE. IV. Uke the table, the chair was In general use among the nations of antiquity. It seems strange that an article ot furni ture so well known to Egyptians, Assyr ians, Greeks, Etruscans and Romans should have fallen Into disuse during the medieval period; yet cuch was its fate, and It crept back so slowly through cu rious modifications of other furnishings that It was not again common in. the houses of the people before the days of Cromwell. The wonderfully dry climate of Egypt has preserved for us specimens of an tique furniture whose designs are con stantly reproduced In our own day. The modern housewife who furnishes her apartments with a seat like the one In the Illustration, under the Impression that it J Js of comparatively recent design, will be surprised to learn that the original of the picture is an ebony seat Inlaid with Ivory, now In the British Museum, and Is at least 3000 years old. Doubtless the mate rial of Its construction, combined with the preservative nature of the climate, Ebony Seat Inlaid With Ivory. had much to do with its long life. Parts of animals, bulls' hoofs, lions' feet and leopards' tails formed the supports or or namentation of nearly all Oriental furni ture decorations, and not infrequently hu man figures were represented in the "de grading position of captives supporting the victor's throne. Early Greek furniture was a frank copy of Egyptian and Asiatic models, with less of animal form and more of foliation In I dcoratlve motives. "While the Greeks at- j ta!ned the perfection of style. It was the j Romans who introduced the more luxu- I riant and inviting forms of furniture. "With the Greek, the individual and his possessions were subordinated to the use j of the state. "We, therefore, find the Athenian temples and public buildings i adorned with th'e best that the wealth of J the state could supply, while the home wis but meagerly equipped with tables j and chairs designed upon the basis of a Chair With Captives no Supports. rigid adherence to purely classic princi ples. The luxurious Roman household, on the contrary, evinced a distinct degrada tion of the canons of taste, modified by Oriental gorgeous and redundant orna mentation, yet It nevertheless brought about a more comfortable order of things. A very popular chair among the Romans, from the earliest times down to the da3 of modern Italy, was the "curule" chair, shaped like the letter X, and so named because In its lighter forms It could bo easily folded and carried Into thd curules or chariots. It was also taken about for outdoor use and at the theater, prototype of the medieval fold stool and the ple- Coronntion Chair, WeKtmlnster. belan campstool of torlay. In Its hand somest forim for magisterial use it was frequently made of elephants' tusks or precious metals, with lvpry feet, while the imposing curule-shaped chairs of state were oftentimes carved of marble with sphinxes for the arms. After the fall of Rome the country bo came a prey to hordes of barbarians, who caused the emigration of skilled artisans and thus gradually brought about tho de centralization of art. During that turbu lent 1000 years known as the Dark Ages a Chair of Si. Peter, Rome. home was furnished solely with a view to defense or change of location, and rud- W ilf W ir3 THE HOME: CHAIRS Seymour Eaton.) . DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR FATON est simplicity was consequently the dom inant note. The reclining position at ta ble was abandoned as not consonant with the alertness of the warrior, and guests sat henceforth on chests or benches. In time each diner had a bench to himself, which by the addition of back and arms became the primitive chair. "Whatever was accomplished In the gentle arts of decoration, embroidery, lace making and illumination of missals in those rude days was brought about under the fostering care of the monasteries. It was a monk, St. Elvl, who rose from the rank of gold smith to that of bishop, who designed and made the gilt bronze chair of Dago bert shown In the Illustration. The Ro manesque original Is now in. the Louvre, and was probably made 150 years before the star of Charlemagne was In the as cendant. Another Interesting rollc of still earlier historic furnishing is the chair of St. Pe ter at Rome, It is said originally to have formed part of the furniture of Senator Pudens, who, upon his conversion to Christianity, gave his house in Rome to the church as a site for the Church of St. Pudenziana. The chair which he gave to St. Peter became the throne of the see; was kept In the old Basilica of St. Pe ter's; was moved about from place to place, and is now in the present Church of St. Peter's. The chair is square in shape, made of wood overlaid with carved Ivory work and gold, and the back is bound with Iron. Its height leads to the Inference that there must have been a foot rest before It. The gold decoration Is of the finest, and the exquisitely carved ivory groups representing 18 scenes from the gospels, together with the tiny ivory figures on the outer sides, form a unique monument to the taste and technical abil ity of that period. Unfortunately, how ever, it is now entirely hidden by the covering of bronze from the Pantheon made for it in 1SG7 by Bernini. Little Is known of the furnishings of Anglo-Saxon England except that they S. DnKoliert Chair. were rude and simple until after the Nor man invasion. Readers of "Ivanhoe" may recall the hall of Cedric the Saxon, hung with implements of war and the chase. Seats without backs, stools or benches .were the chief furnishings of the lower end of the hall, while the dais, the raised floor at the upper end, was more com fortably arranged for the convenience of the master and mistress of the house and visitors of distinction. The walls were here covered with hangings, the floor with a gaudy carpet and the table with a scarlet cloth. The massive carved chairs occupied by the dignitaries were covered with a canopy of cloth as a pro tection from the rain, which frequently leaked through the badly constructed Chair In Carved Walnut. (Found In the house of Michael Angela) roof. At the end of the 14th century these canopies were made more effectual by carving them from the wood of which the body of the chair was composed oak or chestnut sometimes gilded or picked out In color after the manner of the old "cas-sone-fronts." As these thronelike affairs were too cumbersome for ordinary use they were abandoned toward the end of the leth century and stools were the port able seats until the 16th century, when somewhat smaller, lees bulky chairs were Introduced.

"Railroads more deadly than war" Is the taking but untruthful heading under which some of the dally Journals are comparing the statistics of railway ac cidents during a year with the number of casualties in the short Cuban and Boer Wars. The comparisons are mean ingless, because they seek to compare unlike facts and conditions. It Is stated that In the Spanish-American War from April 21 to October 1, 1898, 51-3 months, the number of deaths from wounds and disease was 2St5; while during the year ended on June 30, 1899, the number of deaths resulting from the operation of all the railways In tho United States, suffered by passengers, employes, tres passers, etc. was 7123, out of the entire population of the country. Now compare the number of persons engaged In the Cuban War with tho num ber carried and employed by the rail ways, and the percentage of casualties to the number of people exposed to them shows even tho little Cuban War to have been infinitely "more deadly" than rail roads. Out of a total of 247,717 offlccra and men 2S45 died from wounds or dis ease In about five months that is, 1 n 9G; while of the 92S.924 railway employes In tho country, 2210 wore killed, or 1 In 420. In a year. The little Cuban War ac tually killed 635 more soldiers than the entire number of railway employes killed on the 190,000 miles of railway In twice the time. When the casualties to tho traveling public are considered, the absurdity of the comparison with the loss of life In war is still more, apparent. The number of passengers carried by the railways In the "United States during the 12 months referred to was 623,17G,50S, of whom only 239 were killed, or 1 In 2,180,000! Evidently railway travel is not ."more deadly than war," when, in a very small war, In a very few months, the number of deauis Is 12 times as great 2S15, against 233 as E I : I the whole number of railway passengers killed In 12 months, out of the 523,000,000 carried. i Comparison of railway casualties with those resulting from war or any other cause Is evidently ridiculous, unless the number of persons exposed Is compared In each case. Otherwise almost every em ployment and amusement bicycling, boating, gunning, fishing, walking on city streets, or going to bed nights "might bo demonstrated to be "more deadly than war" by comparing the number of fatal ities resulting from a single war with the total number of deaths from these causes or In these conditions, occurring in an entire continent, within a corre sponding time. NEWSPAPER IDEALS. Apropos of a Memorable Recent American Fiasco. Dr. Joseph Parker, in the London News. I think the attempted creation of an ideal newspaper Is, after all, an excus able kind of lunacy. Wo must always havo among us men and women who think they can have the moon If only they co loud enough and long enough. Euch crying does the moon no harm, and it gives its Innocent victims something to do. The first mistake, in connection with such a paper, is thinking that anything can b"o proved by an experiment six days long. For six days you can do almost anything with a measure of success, pro vided that it be foolish enough. I could (with sufficient preparation for the event) fill St. Paul's Cathedral to overflow by promising to swallow the pulpit Bible in illustration of another book-gulping al ready on record. But what sort of cattle would fill the pews (the pens)? And what man of sense would come a second 'time to see the impious trlck7 If any man wants to found a fancy daily paper, by all means let him do it, and pay for it, and thus find the shortest of all ways to the bankruptcy court. But, after all, why should an ideal paper fail? Tho two reasons are not far to seek. 1. Such a dally paper would be founded on a totally false conception of human life. Ostrich policy always falls. It Is most foolish to think that we destroy things by ignoring them. I have heard of children so monastlcally trained that they never knew there were any bad people, any bad words, any bad customs. They were brought up upon a sort! of patent food for Infants and Invalids. Poor, white faced creatures they were, too. One of the boys I have particularly In view was, I i Know as a iact, nangea in ms native town, neither by his own hand nor at his own expense. I believe. Indeed, that It may be more criminal to hide some things than to face them and resolutely take them in hand. I distinctly charge some parents with the ruin of their children by wickedly putting a false face on the grim and revolting facts of life. Better I realize such facts, talk them frankly over, and show how they can be most suc cessfully handled. The "bane and anti dote" should both go together. That to me is the vital point. To send out the bane alone should be treated as a crime against society. 2. Not only would such a fancy dally paper give a false conception of human life; It would Ignore and misrepresent the spirit of the Bible itself. People who want to create fancy papers, of an ideally moral sort, are supposed to be specially In love with Bible teaching. Their sincerity I do not question for a moment, but I do distinctly question the correctness of their conception of the Bible. According to my reading the Bible Is the most frank and fearless of all books. The Bible conceals nothing. In one of Its main aspects the Bible Is the history of sin. The Bible Is not a dainty tract, carefully edited for the special ben efit of Infants of all ages. The Bible Is a record of murder, lust, drunkenness, ly ing, .hypocrisy, prodigality and all man ner of evil. The Bible writes its own black catalogues of sin, ;hnd illustrates itself could adequately draw or color. The J Bible lays bare the human heart for the reading of old and young all over the world, and through all ages of time. Thore has never been anything in the nowspnper to exceed in horror some of tho records of human experience to be found in the Bible. But is this all that the Bible does? That is the vital ques tion. We all know that It is not. Always, "the bane and antidote are both befdre" us. I repeat, this Is the vital point The I nettle and the dock leaf grow on the same Bible page. Christian churches have yet to be infinitely more frank and emphatic regarding the existence of evil in every possible social form. Unless this view of responslblity is realized there will be la mentable disproportion in all Christian teaching, and then no wonder if the scholars who are thus incompletely taught should fall to appreciate the meaning, or even the necessity, of the great redeem ing act which constitutes the central fact of the Gospel. I do not want any newspaper to be bet ter than the Bible In Its record of social history. Newspipers should be the chron icles of human life as It really Is. Al ways provided that the antidote Is fully supplied. I would not hesitate to report divorces cases, police news, frauds and outrages. I distinctly say, let us know them all, and let us know the very worst that the devil can do. Lay all such cases right out In the blaze of the sun. Print the names of all seducers, gamesters. money lenders, secret perpetrators of cruelty, teetotalers who are shareholders In breweries, together with all professing Christians who denounce slavery and yet tae dividends produced by unseen slaves. But remember my stipulated provision. Do not misrepresent my -view. In, all such case6 of exposure keep strictly with in Bible lines; begin where the Bible be gins, end where the Bible ends; omit no element or feature of Bible policy and teaching. If cases of depravity are re ported without the antidote being ener getically administered, then an unpardon able crime Is done against the morals of the community. For a time thore would be much protest and outcry against pa pers that would thus take the Bible as their example. To show my fairness I would print the names of all the protest ers, and carefully Inquire into their in dividual right to gather up their official skirts as they pick their dainty way among noisome cesspools. All my criti cism would be fearlessly conducted In the light of the well-established fact that some pretentious persons try to Increase their own virtue by affecting horror at the vices of other people. What "Would Jeans Dot He would take evil things as they are: Ho would expose them, denounce them, and hold them over a scorching furnace. Then He would show that what Is wanted Is not reformation but regeneration. In like manner He would deal with good things. He would approve them, commend them, and claim them as part and parcel of the Kingdom of Heaven. If Jesus conducted an illustrated paper, he would give the portrait of the self-righteous Pharisee who affronted heaven with his prayorless prayer; he would give also the portrait of the penitent publican who could but utter a sob for mercy. Among his illustrations we should find the wo man taken In adultery, the prodigal wast ing his substance on powdered harlots, the woman whose sins were many, the Mary out of whom seven devils were cast, and on an illuminated page he would publish the loveliest scene under the whole shining heaven the scene in which he himself took up wondering little chil dren and mode them rich with the kiss of God. Introducing; a New Alphabet. Indianapolis News. Germany's official catalogue for the Paris Exposition Is printed In a new type, the inventor of which is said to be the Kaiser himself. The letters ar$ the or dinary Roman letters with gothic decora tions. The lntentlion Is to substitute the new alphabet for the present German type, and to accomplish this object fonts of the new typo will be offered to Ger man printing establishments at very low prices. MAGPIES RAVAGED FARMS DEPREDATIONS IN SEW JERSEY TRACED TO THEM. FoTrlyarda Had Been Robbed and Even, the Eyes of Sheep Plucked Oat Man Escaped Arrest. , A number of the common magpie have been discovered in the hollow of an old tree on the place of Farmer E. B. TJm pleby, on the, Baptist road, six miles north of Raven Rock, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, says a dispatch In the New York Sun. How long the birds have been In this region can only be guessed at, but their discovery has evidently saved Mi chael Rarlton, a worthless" dweller of the hills, from a long term in the New Jersey State PrlBon. For months the farmers of the neigh borhood have ben up In arms because of the mysteriously committed thefts. Pig eons by the score have' been carried off and young chickens and ducks to the number of several hundred have disap peared. Watchers have been unable to locate the thief. Boys have been sta tioned in barnyards during the night and during the day, but they could throw no light upon the thefts committed even while they watched. Finally, about three weeks ago, "Mike" Rarlton was seen, with a pigeon feather In his hand, and he was at once taken Into custody and in tho public mind was forthwith set down as the thief. But scarcely had "Mike" been placed safely behind the bars when Farmer Urn pleby discovered that six of his, lambs were without eyes. An examination was made, and Veterinary Surgeon T. R. Wil lows declared that the eyes had been plucked out of the lambs by a sharp In strument. He could not tell exactly how or when the cruel act had been done, but he was certain that the person or persons guilty of the deed knew something of sur gery. As Rarlton was credited with hav ing studied medicine before taking up his abode In tho hills, he was charged with this act of cruelty. Rarlton's protests of Innocence were disregarded by the In censed farmers, and It was even hinted that thero should be a hanging-bee In the woods, but wiser heads prevailed and the prisoner was sent to Jail. Yesterday afternoon, Charles Pepper, the young sportsman from New Hope, Pa., Just across the Delaware River from Lambertvllle, received permission to hunt on the several farms on the Baptist road. While lying in. wait In a clump of bush for a shot at a wary meadow lark. Pep per says he was startled by the cry, In an almost human voice: "Pay, pay, pay! Pay, pay. pay!" Pepper had read of the escape of a lu natic from the Trenton Asylum the day before, and concluding that It was he that was making the noise, he dropped into the bush to hide and. If possible, he says, capture the crazy man when he ap proached. Scarcely had he hidden, he says, when several noises In the distance shouted In chorus: "Pay, pay, pay! Pay, pay, pay!" In a few seconds he saw Farmer Storm's flock of sheep, that had been quietly graz ing about a quarter of a mile up the hill, come rushing at a dangerous gait down the steep embankment toward where he was lying in the brush. He noticed, too, he says, that several of the lambs ran astray of the flock, and apparently were bewildered. Their actions were so strange, he says, that they fixed their attention for a time on some object, and he lost sight of the main flock. "The flock of sheep got to within ICO yards of me before I again watched them," said Pepper. "Suddenly they com menced to scatter In all directions and seemed thoroughly demoralized. Then I saw four of the sheep topple over as If shot dead on the spot. I Jumped up and rushed toward tho sheep to see what the matter was, when five large, strange birds, of many colors, arose from the midst of the flock of sheep and darttd like an arrow for a hollow tree at the edge of the wood. Unfortunately for me. I had left ray gun In the brush when I rushed to see what the trouble was with the sheep. When I ex amined tho fallen sheep I found blood trickling down their jaws, and I saw that their eyes had been plucked out. Then I caught and exam ined some of the lambs that acted so queerly a few minutes before and I found that they were without eyes that their eyes had evidently been plucked out some days before. Ithen got my gun, and go ing to the hollow tree I soon rattled out one of the big birds, and with two shots brought him down. Later I got another, but I couldn't find the other four of the six I saw, nor do I know how many more there are In the neighborhood. I'm cer tain that those are the birds that have I been plucking out the eyes of the sheep ( and lambs In the neighborhood, and I know that everybody is satisfied that those I are the birds that have been stealing the pigeons and the chickens and ducks, be cause wo found feathers enough In the j tree hollow to stuff a bed, to say nothing of chicken, pigeon and duck legs. Con sequently Mike Rarlton was released at once. Farmer Umpleby gong his ball, and I he is now living on the fat of the land, for everybody Is certain that he had a narrow escape from a long term in prison because they caught him with that pigeon feather." The birds shot by Pepper arc undoubt edly the common magpie. The strange part of their presence in this locality Is that they are a bird of the northern re gion. Last March an ermine was found on Farmer Umpleby's place. This Is an animal of the Arctic region, and the farmers are now discussing the possible changed formation of the country about Hunterdon Connty hills. The magpie has never before been seen nearer to the Atlantic than the head of the Red River, In Louisiana, according to Mr. Richardson, the well-known natural ist. It Is exclusively a native of. the fur countries, but has often been found In stray groups In the Interior of Texas and even In. Louisiana. The common magpio has never been known to suffer from the cold, but In tho colder latitude the young have been known to assault horses when suffering from hunger. Macgllllvray and Audubon, the greatest naturalists of their day, say the magpie Is a bird to be feared in a barnyard, but they both declare that It will not thrive except In the North. The two shots of Pepper measured about 18 Inches. They correspond In every detail to the descrip tions of the magpie. The tail feathers are of unequal length, the bill and feet are black, the pie Is of pure white. There is a considerable Interest In the birds In Hunterdon County, and the farm ers are out In force In an endeavor to capture or kill the remainder of the flock. It is believed that 50 sheep have been de stroyed by the crudest of blrd3, and whllo one Is allowed to live In the locality, the farmers of Hunterdon cannot rest 1a peace. A New Use for the Phonograph. - Chicago Chronicle. It has been proposed to employ the phonograph as an aid In learning foreign languages. In learning a language It is necessary first of all to have the ear trained to catch and recognize the sounds, and the only way to accomplish this is to listen to the continual repetition of the sounds until the ear becomes familiar with them. Many perosns "have to learn a foreign language without any aid from a teacher that 'can speak that language correctly, and even those that are so for tunate as to have a competent teacher; cannot constantly have the teacher at hand. Now It Is proposed to have phono graphic records of language lessons; then the student can have the machine repeat the lesson over and over again until he is perfectly familiar with it. wH8t Maices Beasfg? Beauty is made or marred by the blood. When the blood is impure, the cheeks grow sallow, the eyes dull, the hair loses its luster. When the blood flows through the veins in a pure, rich current, the eyes sparkle, the skin is clear, the com- ?lexion beautiful. Women who use Dr. ierce's Golden Medical Discovery, find that it is a genuine bcautifier. By puri fying and enriching the blood it puts a bloom on the cheek and a brightness in the eye, which tell the story of perfect health. "Having been left weak from fever last Oc tober, I was under the doctor's care here," writes Mrs. Alice E. Casebier, of Crawford, Dawes Co., Neb. "I took medicine, but did not seem to gain very much. I was tired al the time, had no appeute. had wandering pains all over ine more or less, and was very nervous, as I had been side all the summer. I -was all run-down and didn't know what ailed me. I got advice from Dr. Pierce, telling me my symptoms better than I could describe them myself, and also telling me that I would have to take care of myself, and bow to take the medicine. I took four bottles, of 'Golden Medical Discover'.' nd five of 'Fa vorite Prescription,' ami gained strength right along I took one bottle of the 'Pleasant Pel lets,' also. I know that these medicines will do all that they are recommended to do."
