CHAIR BUILT FOR COMFORT
Ideal Seat TO Fit Crowded Room WIN
BE Appreciated by the Busy
Woman.

For the crowded room the follow
ing is a description of a per-
fectly ideal arm chair which is the
acme Of comfort for a woman to sit
upon. The reason why this chair es-
pecially appeals to women is because
of the height Of its seat from the
floor. That detail is the same as
the so-called sewing chair which
goes with the low-swing sewing bas-
ket or the cradle, and is well-known
for ita comfort. The new chair has
not initely defined legs, since they
are bolted in by woven willow work
matching the material Of the back
and the arms which are of even
height and also bolted-in. The seat
of the chair is also the lid of box
which will hold innumerable papers
or any amount of stockings to be
mended and SO compact as well as
ornamental is this new piece of fur
niture that people who perforce live
in cramped quarters will wish they
owned a specimen of it.

HOW TURNER HAD HIS WAY
Artist Was Great Enough to Give
Preference to Picture That

The late j. NJ. w. Turner, one Of
England's most famous artists,
served for some time on the hang
ing committee Of the Royal academy,
and one day when he strobe into the
picture rooms he was struck by a
picture sent in by an unknown pro-
vincial artist Of the name Of Bird.
Turner took it into his hands and
examined it this way and that. "a
fine work." he exclaimed cit must
be hung up and exhibited"
Tmpossible," responded the 9TH
er members Of the committee; "the
walls are full and the arrangements
cannot be disturbed"
"a fine work." repeated Turner.
Tt must be hung up and exhibited"
And finding his colleagues to be as
obstinate as himself, he hitchcd
down one Of his own pictures and
hung up Birds in its place.-Na'

FATAL TEDDY BEAR.

On her return on June 26 boy at

which the first child had been pre-
sented before the attack of scarlet
fever. On the fourth day the boy
at No. 5 succumbed. On August 16
a girl cousin at No. Is, who had
slept two OF three nights with the

attacked by scarlet fever. The

Women on the Rotterdam Hys-

Answered by Nearby Vessel.
TlTANIC'S LESSON LEARNED
Frantic Passengers Practice Put
ting On Lifebelts-Complain
No Boat Drill Had Been
Held for Them.
tEy Cable to The Tribune.l

London. July 12.-An incident in the
voyage oe the Rotterdam, which arrived
this week. shows that though the ships
are again coming over filed with pas
sengors. travellers by sea have by no
means forgotten the Titanic disaster. at
I p. m, tWcnty-four hours from Plym-
outh, tho Rotterdam ran into a dense
fog. Her engines at once slowed down,
and her whistles began sounding fog
warnings at the prescribed regular in
terVals.
SO far so Well, but the passengers,
especially the women, became very ner-
vous, which increased in some cases al
most 10 the point of hyster!a when an
sWcring whistles sounded from vessel
seemingly near by. For hours the con-
voy kept near the Rotterdam, returning
signal for signal, and when the captain
Of the Rotterdam ordered the covers
taken off the lifcboats and prepared for
tho sea many women were almost fran
tic.
They kept or the deck for hours, only
leaving to go to their staterooms to eX-
anime their life preservcrs and to prac-
ticc putting them on.
At 4. m. the fog lifted slightly and
the Rotterdam resumed her speed, but
In q couple of hours the fog again closed
down or her and did not lift again until
well on in the morning. Passengers who
had gone 10 bed went once more on deck,
where they remained until the fog
cleared.
The Rotterdam was delayed several!
hours in arriving at Plymouth. When
tho passengers came ashore many COM
plained that no boat drill had been held
for them, and said that no matter how
well the crew might be trained tho pas
songers could not understand the process
Of getting into the lifeboats. Many
women pasSe myers were a couple or
days ashore before they began 70 re-
cover their equanimity and enjoy life.
Since the Titanic disaster there has
been considerable agitation in England
with regard TO derclicts and other OBJ
structions TO navigation. which were
often \ dangerous menace TO shipping.
On this side OF the Atlantic attention has
been drawn 70 the example Of the United
States In clearing the American coast Of
floating hulls, and tho Board Of Trade
has now decided TO appoint committee
20 consider the measures now taken to
protect shipping. and report whether
further steps are necessary and in what
direction.
In 1894 n Joint committee OF the Ad-
miralty and the Board OF Trade reported
against action. but it is now probable IN
view Of the Titanic and other recent dis
asters that something will be done.
