THE HEIGHT OF CHAIRS.

A young lady Of small stature tainted
at a dinner given to her honor. 1t was
then found that she had not been able
to touch either of her feet to the floor
or her back to the chair, and the re-
stricted circulation and long discom-
fort had finally overcome her. In
speaking of this event a contemporary
says: AN antiquarian traces the pres
ent mania for high seats to the fact
that at the old French courts sets of
handsome furniture were ranged along
the walls for effect, but were never oc-
cupied. Chairs and sofas actually used
were much lower" Long ago this was
pointed out to us in French palace.
The dictum of famous cabinetmaker
is that in choosing chairs for ones own
use the knee of the person standing
should come clear above the seat he in
tends to occupy. The seats of pulpit
chairs and of chairs on platforms
should be of average height. We have
seen them so low that a tall man sit
ting upon them looked like hunch-
back, and so high that an average man
could not reach the back of his chair If

NEGROES IN WASHINGTON.
Better Opportunities for Improvement
There Than Anywhere Else.

Better Opportunities for Improvement
There Than Anywhere Else.
"The colored population of Washing
ton presents a sociological problem,
unique, peculiar to itself, alive with in
terest, and unlike that of any other city
on which the round moon shimmers.
If extremes meet anywhere they fairly
bump against each other here, and the
two opposite ends are of the same race
and hue" says I. K Friedman, in Col
lier's Weekly"
Talk to a negro of intelligence and
education, and he will tell you that his
race will survive the whites in Wash
ingtOn, since survival is to those fittest
to survive under given conditions, and
the colOred man can thrive in homes
and live on wage where his white
brother would fade like a violet in the
sun. The cast-0ff clothes of a master,
which a white servant would reject in
scorn, the negro wears in pride, for he
would seem to reVel in the picturesque
ness that rags lend to his appearance,
and the wife or daughter who goes out
in service will nourish the family with
food from her basket, filled nightly by
the leavings from her mistress table
The white man cannot compete; he
must leave Washington or starve: and
hence the wagons, carts and carriages
are driven. vegetables and fish are
peddled, the houses are cleaned and
painted, the streets are paved and
swept. the buildings are erected and
dismantled-in short, every manner Of
service varying from the mental to the
lower type of skilled labor is performed
my black hands
Quick to recognize and grasp his OPP
portunities for betterment, the negro
pours into Washington from all quar-
tiers of the south, until the competi-
ton for place has become savage and
wages are cut down to mere subsis-
tence limit. Even the tip which the
congressman hands to the colored
