(ANTIQUE FURNITURE AGAIN.
Bedroom Coffers of the Middle Ages
Are in Use Among the
Fashionables.
-- >
The feminine world is again taking to
! the use of stately and artistic coffers or
chests, reports the Washington Star.
The dames of the middle ages, who
had no convenient bureaus in which to
store their finery, were dependent upon
the coffer. Some of these historic chests
are marvels of delicate carving, inlay
work and painting. The greatest'artists
of Italy did not disdain to decorate these
receptacles.
So valuable were some of the coffers
that a great lady was considered well
dowered if she received one on her mar
riage day. It was placed in her cham
ber, with the great bedstead and a stool
or two, which were the sole furnishings.
Toward the close of the eighteenth cen
tury coffera were all but discarded. Un
til recently specimens were to be found
only in the museums or old castles and
manor houses of Europe.
Now the taste for antique furniture
Is bringing the coffers again into favor.
Two seen recently were made for the
state rooms of yachts. They are both
carved and tinted.
One chest is built of weathered oafe,
deeply carved and then stained in green
and red. The design represent* mer
maids sporting in the midst of an ocean
forest Seaweeds and shells are the most
conspicuous features In the picture.
The other coffer Is of oak, having a
gray finish. It Is decorated with a burnt
nesign. ureen and mauve stains are
used to touch up the figures. The sub*
Ject of these decorations Is a scene at
the court of King Neptune.
Bedroom coffers are usually adorned
with flowers, birds, butterflies or some
allegorical or mythological scene. One
small boudoir chest has representations
of Penelope among her maidens upon Its
panels. Through open windows the
sprays of the climbing roses are blown
Into the room and the flowers with the
garments of the women are brilliantly
colored.
Scriptural subjects were painted on
some of the antique chests, and these
have been well Imitated by modern
workmen. The painted panel Is set deep
In the wood and framed by a wide band
of molding. Carved figures, supporting
the corners, and elaborately designed
lids are features of the painted chests.
The most ancient designs are the
heavily ,carved ones. Those who are
versed in the history of furniture can
tell to a nicety the age of a chest by the
style of carving and quality of the wood.
The earlier Renaissance specimens are
almost priceless, and even copies of
them are expensive. In appearance they
are not unlike a coffin. There is usually
a richly carved base, the long shallow
body above it being slightly curved. The
lid projects over the body, and is less
deeply cut than the sides.
A more modern Renaissance chest,
and a style which is more frequeptly
oopled, is embellished with small panels,
on which appear conventionalized foli
age designs in line work. The shading
Is burnt into the wood.
Gilded and enameled coffers are also
to be seen, but they are eighteenth cen
tury work and represent the period of
decadence.
The modern household coffer is usual
ly lined with silk or an art fabric. Plenty
of tiny pockets are scattered over the
lining, and in these are placed sachet*
for perfuming the contents of the box.
The chests are convenient receptacles
for linen, bedclothes, draperies or gar
ments not in use.
Those who can afford a cedar cheat
need have no fear of mot ha Although
these ornamental boxes cost more than
trunks, they will last a lifetfme. They
are distinctly decorative, and may bs
made to fit any vacant niche in a smalt
room. The price varies with the style
of decoration and wood. Some are com
paratively Inexpensive, while others,
good imitations of the carved antique
chest or the gilded and enameled eight
eenth century masterpieces, are valued
as are most works of art.
HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT. I
n-.va«i Qallnt* Patt nnfarl f/a Qnn m
and He Was Quickly Ac
commodated.
A waterspout Is one of the first thing*
a green sailor boy Wants to see. He has
•ead about it as one of the wonders of
:he sea, and it rouses his keenest curi- -
asity. He gets the old sailors to promis*
:o call him wheu one is sighted. They
promise, winking stealthily at each oth
;r, relates an exchange.
The ship gets down into tropical wa
fers, and the boy is told that a water
spout may come aloug almost at any
lime.
One night he Is awakened suddenly,
in old 6ailor shakes him.
"Come on! Hurry up, young feller;
thore’s a waterspout on the starboard
bow bearing right down on us."
The boy hastens up the companion
way without waiting to dress, and aa
ie darts out on deck ne is tnrown down
by a mass of water descending on him
ike a wet mountain. He struggles to
his feet, gasping, spattering:
“Wa-a-s that-t a wa-a-a-ter spout?" 1
The 6ailors are around him roaring.
Then he looks up above the companion
way and sees an empty hogshead. Having
seen and felt the waterspout, he descends
igUi bunk, wipes himself dry and turns
iff. Next time waterspouts in great num
bers may be reported on both bows, but
he will have no particular deeire to ob
serve them. _
Baby’s Eyelashes.
Some mothers clip the baby's eye
lashes to make them grow long. This
may be all right for the baby, but after
maturity has been reached It is perhap*
betetr to rub a little pure ointment or
plain vaseline into the lashes rathe*
than to clip the ends.—Medical TaUt

Wednesday witnessed the pass

sands of acres of growing cotton

Early Thursday morning the
river stood 27.6 feet on the local

Wednesday reported White and
Black rivers falling.
Rainy weather prevails, and
the outlook is bad. Without fur

FREDERICK WARDE
AT OPERA HOUSE.
The last of the series of enter
tainments given under the direc
tion of the Daughters of the
Confederacy was given Friday
evening at the opera house when
Frederick Warde, the great tra
gedian. was presented to a full
house.
The presentation speech was
made by Col. L. Minor, who, in
his usual happy style, introduced
the speaker as one of the world’s
greatest tragedians, which was
responded to very gracefully by
Mr. Warde in a few well chosen
words.
It seemed as if the best of the
feast had been saved for the last,
for this last of the series of en
tertainments was decidedly the
gem of the course.
TOURIST CARS POPULAR.
The idea that an inferior class
of people patronize the tourist
sleepers is an error. On many
trips only the best class of trav
elers are found. They are merely

That is the comment Mrs. Seymour B

If you are sick you can take Wine of I
Cardui and secure health and strength. If ■
other medicines and other treatment hare I
failed, that will make no difference. Few I
Mrs. M Seymour women have taken Wine of Cardui at first. I
B7 far the greater number of Wine Of I

I am pleased to endorse Wine of Cardui as I found it so beneficial to I
restore my strength after my baby was born. I could not seem to get well jjjj
enough to be up and able to do my work, and as I had been in bed for six I A
weeks this was rather serious, but soon after I began to use Wine of Cardui I I ^
could see that I was beginning to get back my strength. In another week I
I was able to sit up most of the day and in a month I was able to be up and fl
do most of my work. I think it is jj a y I
splendid medicine for a woman and (^4,. I
can certainly give it highest praise. _ , ' B
