Chairs With Arms ana Backs.

Chairs with high backs and arms,
after coming into general use with the
renaissance, began to be ornameIlted
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
ed on chairs with arms and backs in
the time of Catherine de- Medici, and
her sons, courtiers and favorites sat
about them on stools called taborcts.
This manner Of expressing difference
OF rank prevailed under Louis XIV
and his successors down to the French
revolution. To the chairs elaborately
carved succeeded the armchair, SO
called in these times, which, with IN
important variations, is much the same
as in the reign of Louis NV. 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 were
changed into the modern parlor chair
by simply adding a back, which has
hardly made them more comfortable.

PhOtOSraphing Lightning,

TO successfully photograph a flush
Of lightning" says an expert amateur,
the exposure must be made at night
This is the whole secret of success
When thunderstorm occurs learn the
direction of its approach and point and
focus the camera in that direction If
a box camera is used no focusing, is
needed; if a cycle model is used focus
at a hundred or more feet, the camera
resting on tripod or other support
Uncap the lens or open the shutter and
leave open until brilliant flash makes
its appearance within the field Of the
lens; then close the shutter or cap the
lens at once and you will find that you
have negative which upon develop
ment will give you flash Of lightning
photo.
PAY no attention to the minor,
flashes or to what is called sheet light
ming, as both forms only add to the
detail of your negative. Wait for the
brilliant flash of chain lightning and
the river Of light will with its great
intensity photograph itself"

Lightning Plays Havoc With Obelisk
Erected In Memory Of Explorer.
Sioux City. July 25.-Lightning prao-
ideally ruined the beautiful Floyd mon
ument, constructed here to commem-
crate the death Of Sergeant Charles
Floyd. a member OF the famous Lewis
and Clark expedition. The monument
was constructed here in 1900 by the
state and general government, con-
tributing $4,000 each. The rest of the
money, 100000. was raised by private
subscriptions. In form the monument
was built after the manner of the
perfect Egyptian obelisk. Lightning
destroyed the apex OF the monument
and gouged out large stone from the
side 1t was examined by a special
representative of the government en-
gineer's Office. The supposition is the
stone cracked clear to the interior,
which will necessitate the entire re-
building Of the upper structure. An
effort is to be made to interest con-
gress in the repair Of the monument.

Taking Life Too SERIOUSLY.

Taking life too seriously is said to be
an especially American failing. This
may be true; but, judging from appear

ious, faces ten to one as compared with
the merry or happy ones. If 1.-The outer
is always the form and shadow Of the
inner" and if 1.-The present is the full
ness of the past and the herald Of the
future (and how can we doubt ito,
how many sad histories may be read
in the faces of those we meet every
day! The pity of it is. too, that the
sadness is q self woven garment. even
as is the joy with which it might be
replaced. Huskin says: Girls should
