The s.reai Crime.

The leading Republican organs of the country
daily parade their sympathy for the soldier and
the cause in which he is engaged. Such profess
siops are hollow hearted There IS no honesty
in them. In the light of facts they do not have
the appearance of sincerity The hardships and
struggles and prvatioDs which the soldiers have
been forced TO endure. and the sacrifices which
the nation has made in blood aud treasure, may
justly be attributed to the Republican party Fer

CHAIRs.-An eminent phy sician, speak
ing of our chairs, remarks that they are
too high, and too nearly horizontal. We
slide forward, and our spines ache. The
seat should be fifteen or sixteen inches
high in front for meS, and from eight to
fourteen inches for children and women
The back part Of the seat should be from
one to three inches lower than the front
part. This last is very important. The
depth of the seat, FROM front to back,
should bo the same as the height. The
chair back is likewise uuphilosophical.
The part which meets the small Of the
back should project farther forward. H.
seal Of this, a. that poiut there is gener-
ally hollow. This is the cause of much
pain and weakness in the small of the
back. The present seats produce diseom-
fort, round shoulders, and other ds:or.
tons. Chair makers should study these
matters, and improSe by correcting errors.
