Greek Stools and Chairs.

The stools OF chairs seen on Greek
vases are in great variety. and as regards
time cover period of many hundred
years. On some OF them arc figures seat
ed on blocks of stone OF wood, bat tho
general form is that Of stools with OF
without the feet of animals, sometimes
having arms, bat rarely backs. Some
times personages are seen ON vases Or On
statuettes seated On chairs, with backs
of moderate elevation, curved in the
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 carved arms, fa-
miliar to all those who have seen upon
the stage tho 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 cleanly was
not practiced by them, tho reclining at

and the bride mad been deserted by her
husband 20 years before. She had long
ago come to the conclusion that he was
dead and had been looked upon as an
eligible widow, who was fair and 40, If
not fat, when stranger came to town,
got himself introduced to her and finally
persuaded her to try the matrimonial
experiment second time. They were
married after a short courtship, and q
few weeks after the honeymoon the hus-
band gave away his story and told his
wife that she had married him twice
without knowing it.
"His explanation was that on leaving

state for long term. After being liber-
ated, he was ashamed to look up his old
friends and took it for granted that his
wife had forgotten all about him by that
time. He accordingly went abroad, and
it was only on his return after long
period that he heard accidentally that
his wife was still living at the old home.
Rather than run the risk of being spurn-

in such matters is supreme, and it is
no ones province to say that the voters
'know not what they do" The Judge
ship question has been nothing more
to the STAR than to any voter, any
resident who desires to do what he
thinks is best for his home and his
country. We have contended for
what our honest convictions dictated
was u duty--to principles from
IA party standpoint, and according to
our idea Of qualifications. Friends
and neighbors have radically differed,
harsh things have been said, and
withal it has been an unpleasant
campaign-made so by the aggressive
bitterness Of the opposition to Judge
Gardner and his supporters. The
opposition seemed desperate in its
methods and its desire to bring disre.
pute upon the STAR and all of Judge
Gardeners supporters, thus forcing this
paper to take a more active hand and
resort to harsher criticism than was
pleasing to US or than would have
been given under ordinary circum.
stances.
The people are to be congratulated
that it is over.

Herbert spcnccr,s Ethics.

The most devoted disciple of Herbert
Spencer must at times regret that he
could not have put his magnificent social
deductions into fewer words. Then
twice as many people would have had
time 70 read them, and twice as many
would have been instructed by them.
That simple, straightforward, pellucid
style Of writing which the French have
brought to perfection, if applied to the
work Of Herbert Spence, would cut it
down in length to half its present d.
mansions and make it easier reading.
Still, wordiness, indirectness and ell,
Herbert Spencer is one of the great
lights of the centuries, and so must ro-
main. The fact that at last he has prac-
tically completed his Synthetic Philoso-
phyllis sd matter for rejoicing where men
live and think. There have been fears
for years that the light would go out ere
his work was done. but happily it did
not, and now, at the age of e. F-SiIr. Speil-

writings most easily read. and the one
which contains i'll Il nutshell much that
he has elaborated in other books, is his
Social Statics." 1t gives the key to his
whole philosophy.
The great thinker crowns his life work
with a bcok OF the subject Of scientific
ethics, very properly, since the moral
is the last and highest to be devel-
oped in man. There IRE civilized men
and women in whom it has not been de-
veloped to any great extent as yet.
How does man come into possession of
the moral sense-the sense that teaches
him it is the best to do as he would be
done by? Herbert Spencer does not be-
lieve in theintuitive moral sense, to start
with. Mans conscience is produced by
the sum of the accumulated experiences
of all his ancestors and of his own expe-
riences and surroundings. In the course
of his evolution man has found that in
order for all to be happy each must yield
some of the privileges that lie enjoys as
an isolated individual. Hence, if he
would I've happy himself, lie must permit
other people to be so, or other people will
not permit him to be. In the course of
ages this doctrine comes to be one of the
inherited ideas of humanity; hence the
origin of the moral sense. The true line
of conduct lies neither in altruism nor
in egoism. says Spencer, but half way
