Now the taste for" 'que furniture
is bringing the coffers! n Into favor.
Two seen recently we made for the
state rooms of yachts.^ They are both
carved and tinted.
One chest Is built of weathered oak.
deeply carved and then stained In gTeen
and red. The design represents mer
maids sporting in the midst of an ocean
forest. Seaweeds and shells are the most
conspicuous features In fche picture.
The other coffer is of oak, having a
gray finish. It Is decorated with a burnt
design. Green 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
__I
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
Id 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, ths 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 frequently
copied, 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
lo 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 ths
lining, and In these are placed sachets
for perfuming the contents of the box.
The chests are convenient receptacles
for linen, bedclothes, draperies ©r gar
ments not In use.
Those who can afford a cedar chest
need have no fear of moths. Although
these ornamental boxes cost more than
trunks, they will last a lifetime. They
are distinctly decorative, and may be
made to fit any vacant niche In a small
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

HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT.
Groen Sailor Boy Wanted to See One,
and He Was Quickly Ac
commodated.
A waterspout is one of the first thin?*
t green sailor boy wants to see. He has
read about it as one of the wonders ol
the sea, and It rouses his keenest curi
osity. He gets the old sailors to promise
to call him when oue is sighted. They
promise, winking stealthily at each oth- '
er, relates an exchange.
The ship gets down Into tropical wa
ter*, and the boy is told that a water
spont may come along almost at any
time.
One night he is awakened suddenly,
in old sailor shakes him.
"Come on! Hurry up, young feller:
Ihore’s a waterspout on the starboard
bow bearing right down on us.”
The boy hastens up the companion
way without waiting te draw, and a*
ie darts out on aeck ne is thrown down
by a mass of water descending on him
ike a wet mountain. He struggles to
his feet, gasping, sputtering:
"Wa-a-s that-t a wa-a-a-ter spout?"
The sailors 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
to his bunk, wipes himself dry and turns
in. Next time waterspouts in great num
bers may be reported on both bows, but
be will have no particular desire to ob
Mrve them.
Baby’s Eyelashes.
Some mothers clip the baby's eye
aahes to nrake them grow long. This
nay be all right for the baby, but after
uaturity has been reached it is perhap*
etetr to rub a little pure ointment or
lain vaseline into the lashes rather
tan to clip the end*.—Medical TwUt j

inent figure between one and ten. It
Is the most popular number in the line,
and is associated with more things
than any other number, and it is qulta
i reasonable that the mind should light
; on seven. I made another test the
other day with five persons, asking each
of them to write some number between
one and ten, and give It to a sixth per
son. When the slips had been handed
1 to the sixth man I said: ‘Seven is the
| number on each of the slips.’
‘“Correct,” said the man to whom
i they had been handed, and the flv9

tvas able to tell what the number waa.
I It would be quite as easy to name a

i have made no tests along this line. I
dare «ay that 13 would be the first
number to flash in the mind, simply

I the only number between 10 and 20
! that has the widest association. So
I you can tell there is no trick about It,
and It doesn’t require any knowledge

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
i
' Soma of Our Larger Cities Hava An
nexed Ground Far Into Adja
cent Farm Lands.
According to a recently Issued census
bulletin, the real rank of cities is not al
ways indicated by the order In which
they stand in the tables of population.
Some great centers have a considerable
part of their massed population lying
outside the municipal boundaries. Bos
ton Is a good example; about 1,200,000
people live in sight of the state house
dome, and less than 600,000 of them are
governed by the Boston mayor. Other
cities have annexed far into the farm
lands of the adjacent country, says
Youth’s Companion.
It Is customary to speak of the popula
tion of a state, “In proportion to its
size." Such a comparison Is seldom
made of cities, although It might not be
uninteresting. Pittsburg, for example,
has a population of a third of a million
on 18,000 acres of ground; New York’s'
population, little more than ten times
as great, spreads over nearly 12 tlnMS
as many acres.
Chicago was long famous for Its an
nexation habit, but since 1890 New York
has annexed much more territory than
Chicago’s total area. New Orleans has
a slightly larger area than Chicago.
Bach of them covers six times the area
of Baltimore.
Washington, which occupies the Mary
land part of the ten miles square set
aside for a national capital. Is a fair
sized city as area goes, for this genera
tion. It may seem small a century hence,

til the purposes of urban development
when laid out.
In the case of cities, as well as of other
corporations, consolidation Is plainly
one of the tendencies of the times. More
than one-third of those In the United
States have added to their territory by
annexation since 1890. Townships and
counties are occasionally subdivided, by
reason of local interests, but the cities
seem to be steadily pushing their boun
daries outward. There are some eco
nomic reasons for this, but the reason
In many cases has been the desire of
their inhabitants to make a "good show*

In the Right Room.
At the latest of the ladles' clubs a 1
"pets' room." with little stalls for dogs
and cats, lemurs and lizards, all the |
small creatures that a lady finds neces
sary as companions. Is provided.
One of the most enthusiastic members
was showing her friends of her own sex
over the establishment, and opened the
door of the ‘‘pets’ room with proper
oride.
There, in the center of the room, on
two chairs, sat two immaculately
clothed young men, grave of face, but
with a. wicked twinkle in their eyes.
“Don't you know this is the ladles
•pets’ room?’’’ asked the enthusiastic
member, with some acerbity.
‘‘That’s wrhy we are here,” replied the
more serions of the two young men, with
becoming gravity.—Sporting Times.
