ANCIENT CHAIRS.
The Seats Csed by the Egyptians Tn
Early Historic Times.

Seats more or less resembling stools
that is. seats without hacks-were In
general Use among nations possessing
certain degree OF civilization In pre-
historic times What those were like
in the early historic period we know
from nm examination OF Egyptian
monuments. from study OF Greek
vases or from Eutrurian or Roman an
uquities that are stored in European
museums. The Egyptian deities are
seated generally on granite blocks, the
backs OF which are raised few inches
only. giving u distant resemblance to
chair. That the Egyptians had seats
more comfortable for domestic use Is
possible, but we have every reason 10
suppose, although they possessed n
high degree OF civilizat ton. that their
idea OF home comforts was not that OF
modern times.
The common people probably sat on
blocks OF stone or wood or sprawled
about on the ground with some sort OF
carpet that also served for bed. The
Etrurians. ancient inhabitants OF Italy
before the arrival OF the Romans, mp
pear 10 have preferred the reclining
posture, In which they are usually rep
resented on the sarcophaguses In tho
