The oldest Chair in AmerIca.

The oldest chair in America is carved
out of a single block of wood, and in
full size is about thirty inches long.
The front is cut out in the shape of the
''man-turtle," the legs stand for the
clumsy limbs of the animal, and you sit
on his back. Remember that the oldest
piece of parlor furniture in America
came from the Bahama islands, the spot
where Columbus first landed, and that
the natives did not have high-backed
chairs as we have. They rested and
alept in hammoclxs, hamacas they called
them, and we borrowed both the form
and the name.-Wide Awake.

THOSE three farmers in the Illinois
legislature who are holding the balance
of power in the senatorship fight appear
to be gifted with fine staying qualities. 1t
looks now as if they proposed to keep on
balloting until round hundred of the
representatives of one of the great
parties came over and joined them, it,
stead of vice versa.

SINCE the anti-lottery act went into
force the business of the agents in Bos-
ton has decreased greatly. Before the
law was passed the Boston agents used
$1,000 worth of stamps annually. 1t is
said that the post Office department
secured the passage of the law primarily
to increase the safety and security of
the mails. The lottery mail encouraged
theft among the employees and when a
man had once sacrificed honor for the
contents of a letter addressed to the
lottery agent, nothing was thereafter safe
in his hands. The story of every con
fesscd thief was the samc-all began by
stealing Louisiana lottery letters.

THE disaster in the coal mine will un-
doubtedly take rank as one of the great
catastrophes of the year-at least in the
destruction of Ire. Over one hundred
miners dead and over five hundred
widows and orphaned children left to
mourn; that is the sad story. The
cause of the unfortunate affair seems to
be unknown. Testimony of those best
acquainted with the mine goes to show
that it was regarded as unusually safe,
and especially free from fire damp. An
official investigation may reveal dangers
that were undreamed of before, and that
will necessitate additional precautions
to those that are now generally taken in
all mining operations. Thus far the
affair is as mysterious as it is heartrend
ing.

n BALLET troupe now engaged in
New York theatre contains three mem-
b.rs whose relationship are those of
grandmother, mother and daughter.
The grandmother is year or two under
fifty and ii graceful, supple woman yet.
She looks no more than sixty per cent
of her years, through the kindness of
rouge. The mother is thirty and the
granddaughter only fourteen. There is
a strong family resemblance in the trio.
One of their contributions to the enter
tainment is skirt dance, and in the
play bill they are declared to be sisters.
1t may be worth record, moreover,
that grandma can kick higher than
either of her descendants.

THE National Divorce Reform league
has made one recommendation the APP
propriateness of which is illustrated by
the Hamilton case. Incidentally to pro-
vision for marriage licenses, it is urged
that in the case of Il second marriage
the application should set forth the par
ticulars of the first alliance and the cir
cumstances and cause of its dissolution,
whether by death or through the opera
ton of human laws. The subject is one
"bound in shadows and in miseries,
and there are few social reforms de-
handing more earnest attention. The
family home is the basis of our life and
civilization, and it is not to be disputed
that the stability of that foundation of
human hope and happiness is threatened
by the looseness of divorce laws.
