EVOLUTION OF THE CHAIR.
Benches Without Backs Served For
Seats In the Middle AGES.

Seats In the Middle Ages.
1t seems odd to contemplate that
with the multitude of chairs to be
found in every home these days. once
upon q time there were no chairs as
we know them in any home. In those
days benches answered the purpose
now served by chairs, and when fam
lily drew up to the table for its meals
in the middle ages they sat on long
benches, which had no support for the
backs, instead of chairs.
From long ago there were heavy
thrones on which the rulers sat, but
these throne chairs were so heavy that
they could not be easily moved. Later
the benches were given a back, and
still later the chairs as we know them
today were evolved
1t was not until 1000, in the time of
Charles l., that the average English
man knew of chairs or had them in his
house, according to those who have
made a study of furniture. The first
English chairs were imported from
France. and the native cabinetmakers
and carpenters made chairs in imita-
ton of these.
In those days the fashion in chairs
changed with tlre fashion of clothes.
When full skirts were the style the
chairs became wider, so that milady
and her skirts could be accommodated
on one chair. The difference in the
size of chairs that we have today,
made in imitation of old styles, comes
from this difference in clotffes.-Lon-

GUUU CAICHEnS.
They Must Be Quick Thinkers and Are
Hard to Develop.

Hard to Develop.
Good fielders and hard hitters there
are who are not quick witted, but new
er catcher, who is the first to see
signs of weakness in the pitcher and
sends word to the bench for another
pitcher to warm up. Three years ex-
perience with a major league is re-
garded as necessary to make a catch
er competent. Only a few continue
long enough to have such experience.
Good catchers say that when they
hear the ball touch the bat their hands
instantly fly toward the ball, no nrat-
ter where it glances off the bat Some
after losing sight Of a fly in the sun
have the ability to reach it neverthe-
less.
Some catcbers are unjustly blamed
for not putting runner out who gets
a big lead off the pitcher. who is real
ly at fault. Here not only good
throw will fail, but it is often useless
to throw at all.
Good catchers make many uneXpect-
ed throws. They must throw from an
postum Win Il Jclhy
motion of the arm. Archer threw with
a snap of the arm while standing fiat
footed and put many out on first base.
The catcher signals second baseman
that he is going to throw the next
pitched ball to him; the pitcher deliv-
ers it a little to one side so that it
can be handled easily; the shortstop
knows the next ball will not be hit and
so can back up second base. This I'M
expected throw often puts the runner
out ON second.
A similar play is when the runners
move up every time the ball is pitch
ed. If those on second and third both
get well off the bags the catcher again
signals the pitcher to waste a ball and
makes as if he were going to throw
to third, but instead throws quickly to
second and retires the runner there,
or makes as if he were going to throw
to second, but instead throws just be-
yond the pitcher, when the baseman
starts for second, and he, without stop
ping, runs up. catches the ball and |
sends it home to retire the man seek |
