HOUSEHOLD.
SOMETHING ABOUT CHAIRS.

"That chair" said an old LADY,
"takes me back to the days OF my
childhood. It is exactly like one tnae
my grandfather had, and can see
just how he looked and hear again
the tones of his voice." The magic
of an inanimate object when hnke0
with some distant association was
evidenced.
Buying a chair nowadays Is an
easier matter than in the days OF our
colonists, when only the most weil-uo-
do were supplied with this article OF
furniture brought from across the
seas.
The lover of antique furniture VIII
make extraordinary searches for the
old chairs, knowing that their Wooo
was slowly and carefully seasoned'
the workmanship accurate and dura-
BILE and the patterns palmer ana
often better than those of modern
times.
Chairs are the first necessity in Mt
ting up house. In deciding what
must be bought, what would be deslr-
able to have ard what could be done
without the chairs will take pronnl-
nent position. A great variety OF
chairs and every degree of price
awaits the purchaser. If good Sc
lection is made the room begins to
take on an atmosphere Of interest
If commonplace chair is installed
the opportunity for making an at
tractive interior is thrown away.
In searching for souvenirs of travel
the home lover sees in the chairs OF
different nations an entertaining fur
nishing for her own abiding place, a
Flemish chair in black oak for the
library, for instance, Savonaroa
chair for the hallway, wooden benches
from Tyrol for the den aud old Eng
lish chairs for the dining room and
parlor.
Such a collection was planned out
by an American who started on trip
through Europe one summer. The
idea expanded as the many products
of the countries opened unrealized
opportunities. The number soon out
grew the original modest limit, and
when they reached this side the first
cost was found to be largely increased
by the duties.
Historic wood may be made into
chair and thus preserved in useful
as we'll as an interesting way.
When that old tree was taken down
which Longfellow had celebrated in
the poem beginning
Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands.
happy thought was suggested to the
children of Cambridge, who gladly
followed it up. This was to have a
beautiful chair designed for Longfel-
low and made from the wood of the
old tree.
Some old timber foudd in Stratford,
England. was not long ago made into
chairs and called after Shakespeare
and number of these interesting
seats have found their way to this
country .-Design.

Coal Oil SIC A Gallon.

While the citizens of Logan are
quarreling iudustriOusly about cleo
trio lights at 10 and 20 cents a month, a
reference to conditions here less than
fifty years ago, when the only light
possible wasa candle or pine splnters,
must necessarily cause US to wonder
whether We are really living up to our
greatest opportunities.
An elderly citizen said the other
day: "Why, | remember when the
first coal oil came to this city. 1t was
in the latter part of the EOS think,
and two Jews doing business where
the fremont Hotel now stands had
the nerve to bring in oil The Good
wins, about the only rich people in
this community those days, bought
the first gallon, and what do you
think they paid for 1t? $1,000 sir, Sl6.
If people had to pay those prices now
a-dayS they might have some kick
coming, but here they are today with
a big fight on their hands with the
best light the world can furnish and
at prices that is insignificant"
The gentleman went ahead to state
that he could readily recall when
people here had no candles even, and
night after night sat ana talked in
the dark. At this time, though, pine
