The tables and touches of the Assy-
rians were inlaid with ivory and pre-
cious metals. The wood Used was
mostly cedar and ebony. Solomon's
bed was of cedar of Lebanon. The
furniture of Greece was oriental in
form, and from this the Romans abb
sorbed many ideas. The Roman tables
were of marbles or rare woods. They
used gold and silver plentifully, even
cooking utensils being made of these
precious metals.
Most medieval furniture of Italian
make was. richly gilded and painted.
In the north of Europe carved oak was
used to a greater extent. The feudal
halls were furnished with benches
carved and paneled. Chests of oak or
Italian cypress were used as recep-
tacles for clothes and tapestries. The
oak Golfer with wrought iron bands
shown in the picture is of French
make, of the latter half of the thir-
teenth century
The Renaissance made a great
change in furniture making Cabinets
and paneling were done in the out
lines of palaces and temples. In Flor
ence, Rome, Venice, and Milan there
began on a large scale the manufac-
ture of sumptuous cabinets, tables,
chairs, and chests. Spain, France
and Germany soon followed the fash
ion, and in England Henry VIII great
ly encouraged the art of furniture
making
Then came a period of notable de-
velopment in furniture making, the
eighteenth century. From being mas
sive and exceedinly scarce and cost
ly furniture became light, plentiful
and cheap.

have seen grown in Idaho For a
long time it was thought that toma-
toes was one thing that could not be
successfully grown here. Mrs. Brew
er says her efforts for few years
was very unsatisfactory, but this
spring she ordered some seed from
an eastern concern that was highly
recommended and her success has
been phenomenal We forget the name
of the seed she gave, but do remember
that it was very high priced-but the
results would seem to justify the
price. She has about 400 plants and
has been having nice tomatoes for
over a month and plenty of them
still, and more in sight.

People have always used furniture;
but the kind of furniture we use today
is of comparatively recent origin.
Wood, ivory, precious stones, bronze,
silver, and gold have been used from
earliest times in the construction and
for the decoration of furniture; but
modern furniture is a development of
little more than four centuries.
Furniture has always varied in kind
and style according to the needs and
customs of it's users. There are few
examples left of really ancient furni-
ture. This is due partly to the per-
ishable materials used in it's making,
and partly to the fact that the people
of olden times had little furniture of
any kind. Even the poorest home of
today is better supplied with house,
hold appliances than the most aristo-
cratic house of splendid Egypt, taste
full Greece, or luxurious Rome.
And in the long period between the
destruction of these ancient civiliza-
tons and the Renaissance the making
of furniture developed very little. The
rulers of Egypt were as we'll houses
as the early kings of England. House
hold furnishings were the privilege OF
the great alone. No person of mean
degree could or would use chair
one of the commonest objects in every
modern home. Active people, as they
were, living much in the open air,
they needed but benches on which to
sit at meals, and beds on which to
sleep. Our luxuries were not only un-
known but unnecessary to them.
The Egyptians used wooden furn1-
ture, carved and gilded; they also
used chests in which to keep things.

OF the country, and returned again to
the state of single blessedness.
Oiben, his master, had been COM
missioned by King Louis XIV Of
France to make bureau. King Louis
was called the well beloved" al
though he was really hated by the ma
jority of his subjects This bureau
contributed greatly to Rieseners
fame; for it's construction took three
years, and, Oiben having died in the
meantime, his pupil completed it.
The massize bronze doors of this
royalbureau were ornamented with
elaborate and intricately modelled fig
ures, and the whole was fashioned
after complete and perfect minia-
ture model. The degree of craftman-
ship that was brought to bear upon
this historical piece of furniture was
OF such character that a second bur-
eau, built similarly, was begun and
completed by competitor before the
original was finished.
Riesener became a greater artist
than his teacher Oiben, and was recog-
nized as one of the leading furniture
makers of his time. His great activity
is shown by the quantity and elabor-
ate detail of the furniture he made.

volution evil days came upon REESE

There was no limit to the prices a
reckless and profligate court was will
ing to pay for luxurious beauty during
the sumptuous, extravagant reign OF
Louis the Magnificent of France. For
much that was most splendid and
beautiful in furniture making at TINS
period stands the name of Charles
Andre Boulee. His Imagination and
skill were given full play, and ne
proved equal to the demands made
upon him.
Boulle was a remarkable man. In
court whose only thought was OF plea
sure and display, he realized that his
furniture must not only excel all oth-
ers in richness, beauty, and cost; IL
must also be both comfortable ana

The early years of the life of Jean
Henri Riesener would seem to indi-
cate that he was born under lucky
star. But long before his death, at
the age of seventy lone in the first de-
cade of the nineteenth century, his
star had set. Before the outbreak OF
J the French Revolution he commanded
enormous prices for his work. One
small table that he constructed Is said
to have been sold for more than a
Thousand dollars. Yet IN his old asa
he was only saved from utter ruin by
his son. q portrait painter.

all his property was destroyed by IRE
His loss was not only of fortune, but
of reputation as we'll; for when he
was down and out he resorted to
tricks and questionable dealings
which brought him many lawsuits. He
died in debt and poverty, a discredit-
ed and broken man.
The English court We'd with France
in it's extravaganza, and heaped hon
ors and wealth on the man who, like
Boulle in France, was foremost among
designers of furniture in this country.
The authorities on fine furniture near
ly always speak of Marot's work in
connection with that of the great
Boulle. Daniel Marot was the son OF
Jean Marot, an architect and engrav-
err. After he went to England with
William III he principally concen-
trated his talent upon the adornment
of Hampton Court Palace. Much OF
the furniture. at Hampton Court bears
unmistakableSt traces of his authorship.
At Windsor Castle also there is a
silver table that is attributed to him.
Marots work differs from that of
Boulle in that he inserted, in medal
lion form, pictorial subjects in a
heavy framework OF ornament. IN
other pieces the inlay took the form
of geometrical, floral, and animal pat
terms, combined with the warmer and
more beautiful tints of the exotic
woods. The whole was marked by an
unsurpassed degree of excellence in
workmanship.
Besides furniture Marot designed
carved chimney pieces, panels for
walls and ceilings, and wall brackets
He was also famous as designer OF
gold and silver plate, and he even
made tea urns and cream jugs.
