1HE OAK ChEST.
A Relic Of Primitive Luxury Much In De
maud Nowadays.

49,
Every one who ~pretends to have q
little taste nowadays lays out some
money in buying a genuine old oak
chest-that IS 10 say, an OAK chest
which he believes TO be genuine-and
the blacker il is the more confident
| does he feel that he is the possessor OF
| the genuine article. II, moreover, there
be a date on the chest, then his conf
| dence is complete. The dealers know
exactly what he wants, and they manu-
faeture dates and blacken the chests
they make TO meet his requirements.
II is a fraud 70 date the chests, but a
buyer has no reason 10 complain II he
gets u copy OF q good antique. lie has
but 10 take his pcn-kniie and try the
wood. and he can easily convince him
self whether the article I've new or old.
Two hundred years passing over an old
chest or old cabinet harden the wood,
till the pen-knife blade will make no
impression on il; whereas that of the
modern antique is fresh and soft and
when a chip is removed the dye is shown
TO be but s)dn-dcep,
The oak chest is the most primitive
of all articles Of furniture, and itservcd
a great many purposes 1t was the re-
ceptacle for clothes, FOR money, for
every kind Of valuables; but it was
also a seat, a table. a bed and even a
coffin. And as the oak chest is the most
primitive and necessary OF all articles
of furniture, so has it been one of the
first to have attention devoted to it to
make it ornamental. Every maiden
and every man must have had his chest,
to contain her and his treasures, and
not treasures only, but garments as
well; and in the long winter evenings
what more natural than that each
should endeavor to decorate the eX-
terror Of his or her chest, according to
taste or fancy, and thus impart 10 it
an individual character2 1t is not like
~ that o girl would carve the oak Of
her chest, but it is extremely probable
that she would exact the ornamental
ton OF it with CRAVING tool as repay
ment for her ncedlework on the gar
ments Of men. Nevertheless some Of
the decoration may have been the work
Of women, notably that which is pro-
duced by hot irons. Smaller boxes GER
tainly were made beautiful 10y the
hands of their mistreSSes, and many of
these remain incased in white satin,
richly embroidered or decorated with
beadwork. The maiden's chest con-
tanned the linen she had spun, linen
that was to serve for the house over
which on marriage she would become
mistress. In Tyrol to the present day
the bride is brought to the house of her
husband seated on top of her chest in a
wagon, and that chest is filed with
sheets and many ellis Of linen that she
has woven during her spinster days

THE RAISING OF GIRLS.
Untold Evils of Making Matrimony Their
Chief Aim.

Chief Aim.
1t is very easy to answer the question
what a family of boys are raised for.
but not SO easy in the majority of cases,
with regard to girls, The boys are ex-
pected to become useful members of So
clety-producers-and they are given
the right of choice as to what vocation
they shall follow when they grow up
and the parents educate them with ref
erence to their respective desires: but
ask those same parents what they ex-
peet their girls TO do when they are
grown, and they will say: ooh, the
girls? They will stay at home and
probably get married by and by" They
will tell YOU that John is going to be a
FARMER, Harry a merchant and Frank q
doctor, but Mary and Anna and Kate
are merely to wait for the coming man.
The girls are expected to marry for
wealth and social position, and so they
are put into fashionable training of a
kind supposed to add to their attrac-
tlveness, Their waists are pinched and
their feet are cramped; they are given a
few superficial accomplishments and
they finally become interesting Great
ures TO hang dry goods on. The plan
is usually quite expensive for the father,
but the noble (?) object is worthy Of
making sacrifices for, Suppose it is ac-
compllshed; what then? In novels,
they live happy everafter," but alas: in
real life this is not always true.
This idea of making matrimony the
chief and only aim of w%omankind has
filled the world with untold evil and
beer the cause of the downfall of thou
sands of women. There are always
numbers Of surplus women who never
marry, and with no equipment for self
support, or breadth of education, they
either drag out aimlcss and colorlesS
lives, or if in poverty are the easy prey
OF the libertine. In my girlhood l ! knew
a family of seven girls and two boys
whose father was a master mechanic.
The two som followed their fathers
trade, but the sever girls sat idly at
nome and let their hard working father
support them. They could not teach
school or learn a trade or study for a
profession; none of these occupations
were genteel and might ruin their
chances of securing a rich husband.
One day the father was brought home
dead and the mother and the seven
daughters were left helpless and incon.
solable. The income from the few
thousands of insurance money furnishes
a meager living, and thus they live on,
dividing their time between pet poodles
and fancy work. In other instances
which | have known, girls so reared
and aftcrward so bereft, accepted the
gilded baubles and fine clothes which n
life of shame offered them, They were
not educated to do one thing well
which might afford them se~lf-support:
they had no IL within them.

poverty was grinding and they grew
desperate. DIR. Kate Lindsay, in Good
