New Art and Bad Figures.

New art furniture is responsible for
many ills," said the woman who no.
tices things, land the chairs are es-
peciully bad. Certain of the chairs
positively are instruments of torture.
Not only are they rigidly upright, but
many Of them give the impression that
the backs lean forward instead of in
the reverse direction. Have you no..
ticed how common round shoulders are
becoming among young persons? The
only explanation, in my view, is that
the new art chairs are responsible for
it. They tend to make those who
use them stoop and give them an ape
like appearance. The proper chair is
the most comfortable one, the one
which rests the nape of the neck and
muscles of the back and restores the
upright attitude after eXertion has
bowed the body forward. 70 rest the
body perfectly you must not only sit
still-yOu must relax the strain caused
by work. And a really comfortable
chair will do this and cure round
shoulders better than anything know.
One can imagine no more uncomfort-
able home for a man returning tired
In the evening than one furnished with
these new art denominations. After he
has sat there for a little while he
thinks with longing Of the comfortable
club easy chair, and he naturally goes
TO the club, where, at any rate, he can
he comfortable. The ideal dining
chair gives you support just below the
shoulder blades and allows you to lean
back. When the back of the chair
comes any higher than that it Will
keep your body constantly strained
and If its use he persisted In ultimately
warp you. When people invite you
to dinner why do the host and hostess
always have comfortable carving
chairs, while the wretched guests are
made to feel before dinner is over that
their backs are broken? l call that

Bristow was set to work to run them
down. Without fear or favor he
traced the guilt to high officials and
landed the culprits in Jail. When
Roosevelt became president pressure
was brought to bear to GUST Mr.. Bris-
tow, but to no purpose. The president
placed all of the inspectors directly
under Bristow and intrusted him with
a renovation of the department that
landed more men in the penitentiary.
In 1905 Roosevelt made him special
commissioner to untangle the Panama

Balance In Furniture.

To lay down set of rules for ar
ranging the furniture In any room is
obviously impossible, as fitments differ
so radically. But there are certain
things that can be done successfully
with furniture and others that spoil
the appearance of the most expensive
ly fitted up apartment. First and fore
most of these Is to "balance' a room,
meaning by that not to get all the
heavy pieces or all the large pictures
on one side. If, for example, there is
a large sofa against one wall, across
from it there should be a table or
something like that to preserve the
equalities. 1t need not be exactly
across, but somewhere on the other
side, to avoid looking as though, were
the floor swung one side, it would go
down and the other come up. In re-
arranging a room the rugs, if any are
used, should be taken up and the
floors left so that the chairs, etc. can
be easily moved to experiment for the
best placing.
