CHAIR. wIth Arms ana BaoIer.


Chairs with high backs and arms.
after coming into general use with the
renaissance. began to be ornnmented
with an amount of carving and gliding
that has hardly since been equaled,
which came naturally from the artistic
tastes of the period. Their size, form
and the amount of decoration lavished
on them indicated the rank, fortune,
authority or social position of their
possessors Bishops and abbots had
seats corresponding with their dignity,
While those below them sat on stools
or benches. Only the king and queen
and persons OF high rank could be seat
cd on chairs with arms and backs in
tue time of Catherine de- Medici, and
her sons, courtiers and favorttes SAT-
about them on stools called taborets.
This manner Of expressing difference
of rink prevailed under Louis XIV.
ana his successors down to the French
revolution. To the chairs deliberately
carved succeeded the armchair. SO
called in these times, which. with I'M
important variations, is much the same
as In the reign of Louis XIV. Speci-
mems OF the stools used by the favor
ties and ladies OF honor of the king
and queen may still be seen In the
royal palaces of France. They We're
changed into the modern parlor chair
by simply adding back, which has
hardly made them more comfortable.

It took him some years to complete his
first motor in his back yard in Al.

rate of fifteen miles an hour, and there
was only one disturbing incident. when
n crowd assembled at Melksham set
upon the machine and. having burned
their fingers, threw stones and serious
" wounded the stolser. This Quincy
Journey stands as the first example OF
locomotion by steam in England.
