The Commissioners have received q
communication from the Business Mems

so much on trunk sewers instead of

them The Commissioners made no re-

it to the Superintendent OF Sewers.

UNcOMFoRTABLE CHAIRS.
They Are an Outrage Against Boo
Tasto and TNrmRer

Uncomfortable chairs are an outrage
against taste aud temper. yet they ex-
list In many forms. There Is the chair
with the low back that ends just where
support Is most necessary. There Is
the chair with the high seat that
should be sold only with a foot rest.
There Is the chair with the carved
back that should be accompanied by q
head rest, for IL displays at the top.
ON line with the occupants Uranium,
bunch OF grapes or a rampant lion.
There are other chairs that might be
mentioned. chairs with arms that are
too high or SO low that they are OF no
earthly use; chairs that are so wide I'm
the seat that a cushion is necessary
TO I'LL out the space; chairs with backs
that are out Of line and throw the body
too far forward. Cooks should be will
ing to eat their own dishes, and chair
makers should be compelled to sit In
their own chairs-or at least to try"
them before sending them out into the
world. Some OF the mission pieces are
built on dimensions that would doubt
less afford comfort to a race OF giants,
but they scarcely meet the needs Of
ordinary mortals. AS a rule the seats
OF the chairs are too high and those Of
the davenportS and settles too wide
and often too low. The colonial furni-
ture makers were masters OF comfort
Their chairs. with few exceptions, are
perfectly proportional and extremely
comfortable. The old sofas and daven-
ports are so constructed that pillows
to brace the human back are not nee
essary. The wooden back is In It's
right place and meets every require
ment. Reproductions Of old pieces are
not always exact in their dimensions.
A free colonial copy is usually a poor
thing. having none OF the grace OF the
original and little Of its comfort. Avoid
reproductions unless they reproduce
