Ancient Chairs.

Seats more or less resembling stools
that is, seats without backs-were in
general use among nations possessing a
certain degree of civilization in prehis-
toric times. What those were like in
the early historic period we know from
an examination of Egyptian monu'
ments, from a study Of Greek vases,
or from Etrurian or R>man antiquities
that are stored in European museums.
The Egyptian deities are seated gen.
orally on granite blocks, the backs OF
which are raised few inches only,
giving a distant resemblance to a chair.
That the Egyptians had seats more
comfortable for domestic use is posi-
bic. but we have every reason to sup
pose, although they possessed a high
degree of civilization, that their idea
of home comforts was not that OF mod
ern 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 a bed.
The Etrurians, ancient inhabitants OF
Italy before the arrival Of the Romans,
appear to have preferred the reclining
posture, in which they ere usually rep:
resented on the sarcophaguses in the
museums.-Waver!ey Magazine.

A Nom Enforceable LAW.

We gravely doubt if it is physically
possible to enforce tie law. at least
without making its enforcement the
sole business of the police, and that
would entail intolerable conditions.
Some ardent and ill-ba lanced reformerS
have been understood to advocate just
such an absolute concentration of po-
lice activity on a single duty. but we
have never been able to discover any
good reason for attributing peculiar
sanctity to the liquor law and leaving
life and property to take care Of them
selves. Moreover. even If the police
were willing and competent to make an
arrest for every violation. how valu-
able would the net result be, in view
of the moral certainty that the courts
would continue to excite the District
Attorneys Indignation by dismissing
his complaints New York Tribune.
