MODERN CHAIRS.
Evolution Of Our Seats With Arms and
High Backs.

Chairs with high backs and arms,
after coming into general use with the
renaissance, began to be ornamented
with an amount of carving and gliding
that has hardly since been equaled,
which came naturally from the arts
tic tastes of the period. Their size.
form and the amount of decoration
lavished on them indicated the rank.
fortune, authority or social position of
their possessors. Bishops and abbots
had seats corresponding with their
dignity, while those below them sat on
stools or benches. Only the king and
queen and persons of high rank could
be seated on chairs with arms and
backs in the time of Catherine de
Medici, and her sons, courtiers and fa-
yorites sat about them on stools called
taborets.
This manner of expressing difference
of rank prevailed under Louis NV.
and his, successors down to the French
revolution. To the chairs deliberately
carved succeeded the armchair. so CALI

portant variations, is much the same

"Thc Reasonableness of Religion,

night at the revival meeting in the
Green street church. He found his
text in Micna vi: S, What doeth the
Lord reGuireth of thee
The preacher called attention TO the
various reason advanced for not being
Christian. He employed the objec-
tons often used by business and pro-
fessional men that it is not practiced 10
live UP 10 the demands of Christianity.
He answered all these objections by
pointing out the actual demands of re-
ligion. Christianity demands of all its
followers:
1.-The practice and doing of justice
in politics. business and in social life.
2-Christianity demands mercy. The
mercy Of God is his love which we dc
not deserve, therefore see to it that
in dealing with each other we add to
justice, mercy. Without mercy none
of US should see salvation, remember
this in dealing with humanity.

A PUZZLER.
The Enigma the Secretary Was Unable
to Cecipher.

From Horace Greeley's time great
men have been noted for their poor
chirography. and in this connection
Joaquin Miller. the poet of the Ser
ras." is no exception. But the best story
regarding the poets handwriting that
have heard came recently from the
secretary of well known local club.
1t seems that the club desired to have
the poet address the organization at
an annual affair at which an elaborate
program had been prepared. The sec
rotary addressed a letter to Joaquin
telling him of the purpose of the JlnKs
and requesting his cooperation. He
was scheduled for a recitation.
In due time there came an answer
from the poet. 1t was in his own hand
and covered four pages. In vain the
secretary pored over the manuscript.
He turned it over to the president, the
board of directors and the members in
turn, but all failed to decipher the
scrawl. The question before the club
was, has Miller accepted or has he de-
ciined?"
The secretary finally took the mat
ter into his own hands and addressed
the following not to Miller:
My Dear Mr.. Miller-Your letter re-
but have been unable to de-
termine whether you have accepted or
declined our invitation. If you will be
present on the date mentioned will you
kindly make cross on the bottom Of
this letter: If it will be impossible for
you to appear will you kindly draw a
circle?
In due time the letter came back
marked as requested, but the secretary
could not decide whether it was cross
or circle.--San Francisco Call.
