Greek Stools and Chairs.


The stools or chairs seen on Greek
vases are in great variety, and as regards
time cover a period of many hundre'
years. On some of them are figures seat
ed on blocks of stone or wood, but re
general form is that of stools with or
without the feet of animals, sometimes
having arms, but rarely backs. Some
times personages are seen on vases or on
statuettes seated on chairs, with backs
of moderate elevation, curved in tF"
form of the ruff worn by women in the
time of Queen Elizabeth, which were
probably considered thrones. A form
of chair in common use among the Ro-
mans was that with curved arms, ia
miliar to all those who have seen upon
the stage the Roman plays of Shake
speare.
Chairs or stools of other forms were
also in use among the Romans, made
often within certain degree Of art and
elegance and of costly materials. Sitting
at table the posture now considered the
most elegant and the most clearly was
not practiced by them, the reclining at
titude corresponding more nearly with
their ideas of ease and luxury.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

No Need to Wait Ten Years.

1t is said that public reader of some
repute, making a tour through the west,
happened to have an audience one night
in a South Dakota town whose ''hus-
Ting" spirit created demand for any
thing from Sunday dog fights to lectures
OH aesthetics. The house was packed
and the readers efforts were followed
with marked attention. Several selec-
lions had been well received, when some
of the shorter poems of Arnold were an,
nounced.
Probably few of the auditors knew who
Matthew Arnold was or what to expect
from the next number on the programme.
but they had been hearing some good old
soul stirring verses, and interest was
keyed to high pitch. 1t CHANGED that
the reader started with Youths Agita-
tions," beginning, when L shall be di-
vorced, some 10 years hence He
paused for breath, and in an instant a

oueer Japanese Beliefs.

The Japanese believe in more mythical
creatures than any other people on the
globe, civilized or savage. Among these
are mythical animals without any r
markable peculiarities of conformation
but gifted with supernatural attributes,
such as the tiger which is said to turn a.
white as polar bear on the date of his one
thousandth birthday. They also believe
in a species of fox which if it lives to be sc
years old without having been chased by
dog transforms itself into beautiful
woman. This same fox, if he can man
age to live for century, gains additional
powers, such as becoming wonderful
wizard, etc. When he lives to be 1000
years old, he becomes a celestial fox,
with nine golden tails, and has the power
of going to heaven and returning when
ever he chooses.
These Japs also believe in multitude
of animals distinguished by their mon
strous size or by the multiplication Of
their members. Among these are ser
penis 800 feet long and large enough to
swallow an elephant; boxes with eight
legs; monkeys with four ears and seven
tails; fishes with 10 heads attached to one
body, the flesh of this last monster being
a sure cure for boils, bites of poisonous
serpents, hydrophobia, etc. -Philadel-

INAUGURATION
Festivities Attending the In
duetion Into Office of
the Chief Executive.
THE GREAT EVENT FROM
THE TIME OF WASHINGTON
A Glimpse of Some OF. the In.
teresting Scenes.

The most important ceremonial In
the course of American institutions Is
undoubtedly the inauguration of the
chief magistrates. All that is legally
required To install a president Is the
simple taking of the oath or affirmation
to faithfully execute the office and to
preserve, protect and defend the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
The Evolution of Pomp.
The pomp cannot be said to have been
born at the time of Washington's as
sumption of the Presidency, for any
journey he might have made in 1889 to
Eastern Pennsylvania New Jersey or
New York would doubtless have evoked
nearly as much popular enthusiasm,
display and ceremonial Is actually
occurred on his route while as to the
public rejoicings at New York, they
would have attended the installation of
any public man not actually unpopular
who might nave been called to the head
of a government designed to relieve the
Confederation. The second inaugural
ton of Washington at Philadelphia was
an affair of state altogether, discussed
and planned by the cabinet and other
great officers of the government, to
which the holiday making of the citi-
zens was but an accessory, for the graft
fication of their w sense of p~ropriety,
their respect for the President and their
appetite for pleasure. After the estab-
lishment of the seat of government at
Washington the inaugural proceedings
Except those provided for by the Sem
atel for a long time retained an almost
exclusively local interest and color.
The Mayor and a few other leading citi-
zens would get together and form a
committee of arrangements: a chief
marshal of the procession would be
chosen from the residents of the dis
triet, with other residents as assistant
marshals: the local militia, secret and
benevolent societies and political clubs
would make their arrangements for
turning out: the published programme
would exhibit, in displayed lines, the
places assigned in the procession to am
bassadors, cabinet ministers, governors
of states and other d~ignitaries who
rarely, if ever, appeared in fact, and
The actual procession usually contained

bidder, for a term Of six months,
according to law. Negro vagrants
sold at Fayette not long since wen'
cheap for six months. A banker
bought one for $26, another was
sold for 81 while a saloon keeper
purchased one for 1925.
This is the first case of the kind
to occur in the history of the city
and the matter has stirred up nc
little excitement among the coloreG
race of Glasgow, as was evinced by
the large crowd in attendance upon
the trial of VIM.
